@vladdracul said in ResidualVM help:

I had the same problem, solved it by pressing button x while the game is loading (to launch the configuration options), and changing emulator from "residualvm" to "residualvm-software". I also changed the resolution and 640x480 in all other configurations.

Hey thanks! I'll give that a spin tomorrow, I totally gave up on it since I could never get it sorted.

@columboscoat school boy error on my part the joystick cable from the board was plugged in upside down,
Its now registering all axes 8-)

@BuZz I have a premade retropie in my raspberry pi zero, I use this one to play with 8/16 bit consoles and c64 emulators, with my raspberry pi 3 B i try to learn what are the things I can do, try which mame roms works and which not (without mess my primary retropie in raspberry pi zero), try to instal 3.5 lcd.....

@edmaul69 Ok awesome I'll try that!

It was working fine the last time I used it. Shut it down as normal now when I start it up it goes right to the command prompt with this error.

Oh I know you weren't and I thank you for the advise. You are correct, I will try and contact Floob or Kevin. I will try to reach out and in the meantime....going to just try it tomorrow. If it works, I will post my results to this post.

Glad you got it figured out :)

Yup no problem. I also feel like the guide should be more specific in stating the SSH and terminal spam problem, other than in the issues section that may not be noticed. I'm just not sure what section to state it in.

@dantropie yes, it's possible.

@dankcushions Not picking a fight, not in the slightest. As far as I am concerned I have done nothing wrong. I see people being referred to search engines all the time. If I had posted a direct link I would apologise and move on. Archivedotorg is nothing more than a repository. Referring people to it breaks none of the forum's rules as far as I, and others, are concerned.
Where is the dotuk link in any of my "non-conforming" posts?

@subz No worries man I appreciate you coming back to say you got it sorted. The forum is here for people to search first and foremost. Most people find a solution and then never come back, not caring about those that come behind them.

More than a year later, North America and Europe received releases on the Nintendo Entertainment System in cartridge format, making the game the first home console title to include an internal battery for saving data.

which is why it works for that as the hardware/flash is emulated by the emulator.

some mame games support hiscore saving via a file which details the part of memory which contains the scores etc so the emulator can dump/reload that part. I don't know if any of the nes emulators have any functionality like this.

Thank you, it completely make sense and it explains my problem. Is this possible to know which other files are changed by the script? I did not configure specific controls for any emulator, i am only using all/retro arch.cfg which works actually : control mapping is done from that file only as far as I know for my config and that's why I assumed restoring this file + input.cfg would be enough.

Sorry if I am not clear but I don't know how to explain further.

@GGA said in MAMEs 0.164 Help Please:

I tried using Arcade and he various MAME emulators.

But 0.164 is not supported, why would they work?

There are issues with it still imho - in the GUI, the mouse position is incorrect vs where the pointer is (makes it somewhat tricky to configure). The default opengl mode doesn't seem to work either - at least on grim fandango (software rendering seems ok though).
