- It is an old version, but it was the easiest to package in Lakka and it is faster than newer versions of MAME. Arcade ROMs Arcade emulators are running the.zip games directly, they take care of uncompressing, while other emulators let RetroArch uncompress the ROM for them.
- I have a lakka computer build and it seems to be running awesome, but i can not get it to see the NeoGeo stuff. I have loaded them ziped and not zipped. I tried to put the neogeo.zip in the bios location and in the rom folder extracted and zipped. Scrapped it all different ways.

What are ROMs?
ROMs, Rom Games and Emulators, does it sounds unfamiliar for you? Video game ROMs are nothing else but a software which is installed on a videogame cartridge, however these days there are hundred thousand of roms available for download on the Internet. At the beginning people, who had advanced knowledges in IT field started to extract ROMs from cartridges and upload them to the Internet.
ROMs GAMES or ROM which stands for (Read-Only-Memory), it is NVM or (Nonvolatile Memory) which we mainly use in many devices such as computers, mobile phones, consoles and other. Most of the times it is impossible to modify the data of ROM without having advanced knowledges in the IT field. The main use of ROM is to store firmware, now you may be wondering “and what is firmware?” Let me answer you - firmware is kind of software that closely related to a specific hardware and needs updates frequently, that was the firmware short explanation now back to ROM again, as I said that the main use of it is to store firmware or application software in something called plug-in cartridges.
Read only memory refers to hard wired memory. Like diode matrix and mask ROM or “MROM”, which means that we cannot change it after being produced.
Lately, ROM has been updated to enclose read-only memory in normal operation, but we can reprogram it other way.
Erasable programmable read-only memory or we can call it (EPROM) and electrically erasable programmable read-only memory or we can also call it (EEPROM), maybe it is a bit understandable by its name which we can erase and reprogram it again. But this usually takes a lot of time and need special gear or hardware to establish and for few times only.
ROM reading speed of course is much different than RAM speed this is why we do copy ROM content to RAM before the first use, later we read from RAM.
ROM writing speed: for ROMs electrically modified, writing speed is always way slower than reading speed, sometimes need high voltage.
I think that I gave you a comprehensive and good idea about what is ROM, now back to our first question: what are Games Roms?
Well to answer that, you need to know what is ROM image or ROM file. Simply, it is one of computer file containing a copy of certain data from a read-only chip, usually from a video game cartridge. Main board of arcade games or computer’s firmware. We use this term more often related to emulators. Where we get the old games or computer’s firmware and copy it to ROM files on recent computers then with the help of a software that we call it “EMULATOR” we will be able to run this ROM GAME on a computer “PC”. On our website you can find any emulator for any popular console: Nintendo, Super Nintendo, GameBoy Advance, GameCube, Sega, PlayStation, PS2, PSP, Xbox.

ROMs Emulators
ROMs Emulators are a kind of software that trick computers’ system which we call the host, and transform them virtually or create specific environment on the computer, which we call guest. The EMLATOR makes the host system run a specific software designed originally for the guest system. Now that we got the simple idea of what is an EMULATOR we can explain the ROMS EMULATORS or a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE EMULATOR.
ROMs EMULATORS or A VIDEO GAME COSOLE EMULATOR are simply types of emulators that permit a computer device to emulate a video game console’s hardware such PlayStation, Nintendo, Atari, Sony etc., and play all its games on the emulated platform such as PC. Nowadays, emulators give us additional features which are not available on the original platforms. For example, larger controller compatibility, scheduled control, higher performance, higher quality, easier to modify. Cheat codes with only one click, unlimited gameplay advantage, also it is worth mentioning that EMULATORS or ROMs EMULATORS are helpful in the development process of indie demos and to recreate or create new games, which are only available on the rare and old consoles.

The Lakka team wishes everyone a happy new year and welcomes 2020 with a new update and a new tier-based releases system!
This new Lakka update, 2.3.2, contains RetroArch 1.8.4 (was 1.7.2), some new cores and a handful of core updates.
As part of our new tier-based updates, Lakka 2.3.2 is for now only available for the following platforms:
- 64-bit Generic (
x86_64
) - Rasperry Pi 1 and Zero (with and without GPICase)
- Raspberry Pi 2 and 3
- Raspbery Pi 4
Neo Geo Roms Archive
The rest of the platforms will be updated during the following weeks.
As usual, you can update by downloading the new images from the website or by going in the Online Updater directly in your Lakka box.
Lakka supports more than 40 different platforms, and it has gotten quite hard to maintain and support them all actively. Some of them are discontinued products, and nobody on the team has them anymore.
As a result, we have decided to split all platforms into different tiers. Basically, higher tier platforms will have active support and more frequent updates, and lower tier platforms will have more sparse releases (if any).
The high tier platforms are the most popular ones:
- 64-bit Generic (
x86_64
) - Rasperry Pi 1 and Zero (with and without GPICase)
- Raspberry Pi 2 and 3
- Raspbery Pi 4
For now, all other platforms are placed under the lower tier category. We may do a middle tier in the future, with platforms such as Pine64 and Odroid boards, which are still quite popular nonetheless.
Keep an eye for new tier releases on this website and on our social media accounts!
It’s been a long time since Lakka got a RetroArch update. This new version adds some welcome features - the most interesting this time is the manual content scanner. You read it right, no more database is required to build your playlists!
Whether it’s because the database is missing or your platform has little memory to handle big scans, you now have the choice to do a manual scan to build playlists on your Lakka box. This new scanning method simply takes all files ending with a known extension in a folder and adds them to the playlist for that system. It’s as simple as it gets!
You can see the manual content scanner menu in the thumbnail of this article (MaterialUI menu driver).
Another quality of life improvement for playlists is the new “clean playlists” option. This allows you to clean your playlists after removing your games files, as well as resetting core association if the core doesn’t exist anymore.
This new option does the following:
- Remove all entries where the game file has been removed
- Remove all duplicates
- Resets the core association if the core can no longer be found
- RetroArch will ask you which core to use the next time you try to run a game from that playlist
- If the core association is correct but the core has been renamed since, the new core name is updated in the playlist

Cores can be removed when updating Lakka, even if we try to do it least frequently as possible. For instance, Lakka 2.3 removed a lot of old cores in favor of their new, improved versions.
Thanks to this new clean playlists feature, removing a core is no longer considered a breaking change when updating Lakka.
The latest major improvement is the disk control overhaul, which enhances disk swapping for game with a high number of disks (such as Amiga floppy games).
You can read the entirety of the changes made to the disk swapping system in the RetroArch 1.8.4 blog post.
As usual, everything in the libretro ecosystem has been updated to the very last version: cores, databases, overlays, joypad autoconfigs…
New core: quicknes
This very lightweight Nintendo Entertainment System was only enabled for some platforms on Lakka. It is now enabled for all of them.
New cores: vitaquake2 and vitaquake3
Only available for the Generic platform for now, those two cores are open source reimplementations of the Quake II and III engines respectively. Originally written for the PlayStation Vita by Rinnegatamante, both homebrews are now available for everyone as libretro cores.
New core: NeoCD
The latest core to be added in this Lakka update is NeoCD-Libretro, an improved version of the NeoCD Neo Geo CD emulator. This new version of NeoCD is more accurate and performs better than the previous standalone emulator, even on low end hardware like a Raspberry Pi.
Goodbye dosbox, hello dosbox-svn
And finally, the old dosbox core retires with Lakka 2.3.2. The newer dosbox-svn core was added some time ago, and it’s time for it to be used as a default and for the old one to be removed.
As time goes by, we are slowly moving forward to Lakka 3.0, which we already talked about in a previous release article. We will take this opportunity to drop all the old platforms we cannot maintain and support anymore. Lakka 2.0 will still be available for those, but we won’t be moving forward with them for the future.
The list of all dropped platforms will be made available when we release Lakka 3.0.
