Probably need to do it outside of retroarch. Use clrmamepro https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/. It is a bit cryptic but does the job. There is a guide on the retroarch site about how to use it. Source: about 1 year ago
You can use CLRMAMEPRO to scan your current ROMs and re-build them to target whatever version of MAME you want. Source: about 1 year ago
I use ClrMamePro to do the audit, and dat files from Progetto Snaps, which are kept up to dates on a regular basis. You can also download any updates/new files from there as well. Awesome resource. Source: about 1 year ago
Dat files are used with certain programs that help you determine if your romset is the correct set. You can use the dat files with programs such as RomCenter or ClrMAMEPro. Source: about 1 year ago
I've seen some few super neurotic folks that download non-merged* sets and pick them apart, but most people just d/l the full set and a program like clrmamepro to trim the bulk of the roms off, since it changes so often that it's not worth cherry-picking them by hand. Using one of these programs is a snap, as they can curate a ROM list in a relatively small amount of time. Source: over 1 year ago

Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you... Source: 6 months ago
Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you... Source: 6 months ago
As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam: * https://lutris.net * https://github.com/lutris/lutris It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
My advice would be to go to Protondb first and look at your Steam games and how it would fit. They are graded at Gold/Platinum/Silver in terms of compatibility. Alternatively you can try Lutris if your game is not in Steam. I think there are a few others but I can't recall any. Source: 6 months ago
