LAKKA FOR PC SUPPORTED EMULATORS HOW TO

I had heard good things about RecalBox, but very little about Lakka, and only just noticed today after not logging in for like 2 days someone posting about Batocera for the first time. I mainly just thought to ask, because nearly all of the sites/gaming forums ONLY seem to talk about RetroPie without any mentions of/praise for some of the others I'd mentioned. Honestly, I wish I COULD say I found a resource, but after getting no responses other than yours- which I really appreciate it's kind of a bummer that a post can get 100+ views and not a simple 'I don't know,' or better yet, 'try this link'-I ultimately just had to rephrase/simplify my question into the post below. I've just built a mame cabinet and lots of my roms don't work, been looking for some support.

LAKKA FOR PC SUPPORTED EMULATORS HOW TO

If I knew how to delete this topic I would. Looks like I finally got an answer elsewhere. Granted, I've also read than an 8GB MicroSD would work for most 8- to 16-bit games, but that I'd probably need something bigger to play Neo-Geo games for example. So for those who've gotten MAME games to work well on your Pi, which OS did you use, or recommend? Did you just start off with (or recommend) I try emulating console games at first? I also understand that running MAME can be a bit more complicated than say, running a Nintendo/Famicon emulator (case in point, from my experience of running MAME off of my desktop computers- before my OS stopped supporting it, that is- it seems like you almost always needed a keyboard setup in order to 'add' quarters/credits to play the arcade games anyway, since most controllers/traditional arcade control setups don't have this function). I've REALLY been wanting to make an arcade/MAME emulator, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on which OS would work best for MAME? Everyone talks about RetroPie, but I understand that RecalBox, Lakka, and Batocera are options too.

So I apologize in advance if I'm getting ahead of myself by posting in this forum, but I'm new to RaspPi, received a 8GB #4 for my B-day, and have been hoping to make one for gaming to start.
