can you point a direction for me to research?

i would love to have this feature running

@AZO said in How about this MAME:

http://choccyhobnob.com/mame-0-172-for-raspberry-pi-2/

question is, what games are playable/full speed that aren't on the versions of MAME we already have? i fancy that there would be regression, due to more accurate emulation.

this would be great mostly with the messy arcade games :D

I shouldn't think it would be fast enough on a rpi - however it could be implemented as an experimental module (and could be run on X11 on PC etc)

@meleu It makes sense, for example in the dick tracy (nes) b + select allows Tracy to use the first aid kit. I had to change the default settings to be able to play.

I'm Batman!

Sorry could not help myself. :)

I think you should put up your request in the thread emulationstation-feature-requests-here

Okay I will look into Emulationstation and mame libraries script in relation to archive.orgs . Probably best to start from scratch.
:-)

I get it. It's just something I always do in retropie. And for n64 games I think make more sense.

I might adjust this to work in the way that doom works - so the gamedata is downloaded as part of the module configure stage directly to the roms/ports/duke3d folder (if no gamedata exists), that way it simplifies things further and no symlinks are needed at all. In the meantime you can do as above and remove the links and copy the gamedata there instead.

This is the default forum behaviour - not sure there is a need to change it. It doesn't do any harm at least, so for now just ignore them :)

@zerojay said in TheGamesDB: It's Up.......It's Down......It's Up.......It's Down........:

@urgrue OpenVGDB is already supported by sselph's scraper and by Retropie Setup.

I wasn't saying it wasn't - I was suggesting using openvgdb as a starting point to create a online DB that is better integrated into retropie and also automatically takes submissions.
Like I said, today there is no way to manually fix the game metadata short of a hugely painful one-by-one effort that benefits no one else but yourself. Considering the hit rate of the scraper is quite low, it's a shame.

@BuZz
How can you determine if it is OpenGL or not,
seem to be a bunch of RSP plugins out there,
https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-rsp-cxd4 is another example.

Really the request is for a RSP plugin whichever would work.

Thanks for pointing this out. Having seen this I assumed there'd be a splashscreen equivalent and right enough, there is: https://github.com/RetroPie/retropie-splashscreens/wiki

@BuZz
Thanks!
So the (re)installing process remains necessary, but now we can do it from binaries, right?
And on RetroPie 3.8+ it won't be necessary, right?

Awesome!
