@battlecat said in Mame Logo Variations:

@dankcushions Hey there. I was playing with RetroPie and MAME last night. I noticed that in one version of MAME I think MAME 2003 R-Type Leo has no audio. When I loaded it from the mame4all version I had audio.

This is the kind of thing that requires me to keep both MAMEs active so that I can get working versions of all my roms.

Thanks,
BC

works fine for me in mame2003.

yeah tried that a few days ago. It was still looking at the old path for some extra files (digital audio if i remember). I presumed the defaults are each set as full paths , instead of relative paths of the data folder.
Its also possible i did something wrong so ill try again tomorrow

@meleu
Okay thank you :)
And what about a simple keyimport. Just import KEY and SSID from /boot/wlankey.txt to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf? That's just a simple grep command :)
But somebody has to put this small script tool to the standard image file :) and make it somehow executable via joypad :)

@dult.np

Sadly, Toby Fox did not release the source code in any way so I can not make the game lighter on the resources and make shaders compatible with OpenGLES. :(

Thanks herb!

Just read also in another thread about calling retropie_packages.sh with no options for a list of scripts/commands, very useful

I thought about doing that. But I thought it would need a powered one. All Pis prefer a hub?

Power supply is 2amp.

Thanks for the response.

@RetroPieNerd that would be awesome! Everything is just better, less sound bugs, less texture bugs, in general just look cleaner. Project 64 1.6 is an improvement on mupen but 1.7 really is the best one out there, just harder to find, even with google. 2.0 or higher is/has malware though. So 1.7 is the way to go.

@Floob yeah - it was after the 1.3.6 release - when the next retroarch release is out I will do some testing etc. (well may test before, but it won't be enabled in retropie until after the point release).

@hueblo in the documentation as usual:

This could be a great alternative, as the current implementation of Basilisk II on RetroPie won't run anything in 8-bit color.

@bmn001 many emulators arent included with new installs. There is too many that they lightened the install for size purposes.

Thanks!

We already have an IRC chat, I think that is good enough

I just goofed and didnt realize it had been added like early this morning.

@AmigaGamer @BuZz put in the script. I just started it and bugged him to finish it. He's the real genius here not me ;)

Yeah good point, the FBA emulators also run recent MAME romsets, those are worth a try too.

You can also run the very latest lr-mame on RetroPie.

However, even the latest MAME doesn't have the 2D games right. If you truly want to play these games, fix their emulation in mainline MAME then consider backporting them to earlier stable MAME libretro cores.

A CRT display is pretty much required to get most light-gun games to work, but some emulators will accept a mouse or trackball instead just to get some kind of game-play. I've heard that a wii-type light-gun will work on modern TVs (requires IR sensors around the edges of the set), but I don't know of that sort of setup working with a pi.

@edmaul69

Ah, that's good to know. Perhaps this whole thing would be better suited to the wiki than a certain default, given it's versatility.

Wine only emulates the operating system, the PC Diablo binaries are still x86 so will never run on a Pi. If you want to play Diablo, there is a PSX port.

Yes, N64 emulation is crap for many games, the Pi is weak and emulation is not that good anyway. A few games work well such as F-Zero X.

There are apparently some improvements to N64 emulators coming so maybe the situation will get better in the next few months or year.

Thanks - will add it.
