I would be happy to add later drivers to if I knew what problem they solved, and where to get the source of the drivers. Lr-mame2003 is open source so anyone is welcome to update it.
is what someone with the skills should do for the RPI to make reteopie even better. What they did with Coinops for the old Xbox which has added a lot of the fixes and newer games while still using an older M.A.M.E.
