@flow86 said in lr-mame2010 tankfrce4 - 4 player input problem (switch NS1 to Face_off):

do you know other top down view (tank) games
for 4 players?

One that comes to mind is Tank8 (using lr-mame2003). This is an old Atari title for 8 players but you can get away with four if you stagger the mapped players, and even map a button to the admin control to enable team play. That game definitely has its quirks, so you probably want to google it and browse through a PDF of the original manual.

I swear I played a cocktail version of Sarge, 4-players. I only ever see a 2-player ROM in compatibility lists, and I can't get it to work at all in 2003, but AdvanceMAME plays it. Anyway, if someone knows of a 4-player version of that, it's a great tank game.

I know you mentioned tank games, but I have to say Gauntlet and Gauntlet 2 are must-haves on a 4-player cocktail cabinet. These games are fantastic for 4-way coop fun. Other usual suspects are the Simpsons, X-Men, TMNT, NBA Jam, and a handful of 3 player games like Rampage and Xenophobe. I also recommend Stone Ball which can be setup for 4 players for a fun caveman football romp.

Don't overlook racing games like Championship Sprint, Ironman Stewart's Super Off-Road and even Demolition Derby.

@Evilmrt glad i could help.

In the tar manual

man tar

--strip-components=NUMBER strip NUMBER leading components from file names on extraction

eg path1/path2/file becomes path2/file

@BuZz said in Dreamcast rom folder missing:

@silverrock you need to install the emulator from retropie setup. (Reicast under optional packages)

I knew it i was missing something...

Thanks

@jay81uk check out Sony vs connectix or bleem and you'll see that not once have emulators been ruled illegal in a court of law. Now if an emulator ships with copyrighted code like BIOS or games like ROMs litigation is guaranteed.

Emulators are nothing more than a codec for video games, just like a DVD is no more than a codec for a filmstrip. Having a DVD is not illegal, downloading a movie, and selling a DVD with someone else's movie on it is. Same with emulators and roms. Frank cifaldi gave a fantastic speech on emulation and why it's been vilified.

It is a fascinating topic. Definitely worth watching all the way through.

Nope. I tried both options to rc.local, no dice (I substituted advmame-0.94.0 and punisher.zip)

I'm going to try and get a PiPlay option working if I can't find a good image of 2.3

If you're running Android, try RetroArch from Google Play Store.

@PetroRie
ok I have network cable thanks.

well going from 4.0 beta 2 to 4.0.1 something has changed. i still can use both keyboard and controller as player 1 but in msx i no longer have the keyboard function as a keyboard even except when i set:

input_libretro_device_p2 = "3"

like others stated

@BrockBoyts Start+X

Thanks! Got to change the mappings correctly! :D

Shame the menu doesn't allow me to map the Jump button tho, it's just not in the mapping options for the gamepad.

I should have been more clear sorry. I was tired :D

Thanks for the fix

You incorrectly edited the file then and broke the xml or something. Open a new topic for the controller issue.

I use this one for Centipede and Millipede (lr-mame2003): HAPP 3" Solid Color Trackball with USB & PS/2 interface.

FYI, problem was resolved by replacing the 3rd party power supply with the official Pi 3 power supply: https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-power-supplies/products/official-raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply

Problem has not returned since, my guess is that the 3rd party power supply had enough to power on the pi, but not enough to proceed past the RetroPie splash screen and onto Emulation Station, hence the reboot issue coming about.

Thought I'd post this as a follow-up in case anyone else falls victim to the same issue.

Understood, i'll have a look. I guess, anyway i need wait. But, thanks a lot.
