Mame or fba should be able to play them. Are you using RetroPie and/or RetroArch?

Cave does have a bios...

it goes into your rom folder if you are using mame, advmame or fba.

I would go with fba on this one

Yes !! How can i find the bios ?!

Certain games don't work :(  for example Deathsmiles or Ibara and many other, Donpachi work on lr-mame2003 (because i have the bios)

FBA is complicated to input the joystick.. I prefere mame because i have a user friendly menu for configuration !!

How do you configure input joystick under FBA ?!

Are you sure you have the correct roms set (version) of those roms? Look at /tmp/runcommand.log file or post it hear so we can see it.

I agree with you there, but on a raspberry pi 2 you best choice might be fba..better performance?

Try the retroarch core of final burn alpha first that way you have that easy button set up. The plain final burn is difficult to get right.
