seems that i can use the built in scraper to update each rom individually, but when i batch scrapes over 1000, it doesnt seem to show them... odd. the xml looks ok to me.

@axis_d where did you put those files?

I didn't realize I could use two different controllers simultaneously. This is awesome, thank you so much for your time!

@mediamogul Have fun, and let me know what you find out. I'll put a couple of bucks onto a bounty if it takes one more to get this smoothed out across the cores.

@mediamogul said in some MAME ROMs do not fully load using lr-mame2010 emulator:

0.139 MAME ROM

@mediamogul

I was not sure, so I deleted this ROM and downloaded a new one for the same game from this set. And it works!!!! Thank you!

Just need the Emulators to Shows so I can load the games.

Things work bit differently here on Pie/Pi than, say, on a PC. You don't start an emu.exe and then load roms. First of all you need to put your roms into appropriate directories. Read this: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/

Then reboot. Assuming you followed all the guides to the letter, you should now see names of the systems you transferred the roms for, with "X games available" underneath a name (that's on Emustation menu, where previously you only saw the Retropie thingy)

OK I found solution by myself and here it is.I just need to add this lines in config.txt .i hope this will be useful

sdtv_mode=2
sdtv_aspect=1
sdtv_disable_colourburst=0
framebuffer_width=640
framebuffer_height=480
overscan_left=27
overscan_right=0
overscan_top=0
overscan_bottom=0

I set my desktop to 640x480 and now there is black bars on the left and right. Possibly because ntsc is 720x480? This is better though as the image isn't squished anymore.

EDIT: That did it. 720x480 with a render resolution of 640x480 gives me a full 4:3 picture in moonlight. Cheers.

@colebeansbroskie if you have two sets of joysticks and buttons you have to set up the buttons the exact same way. You never have to configure player 2. Once you set up one, after rebooting your system both will work. If the buttons are different on player 2, it means you put them in the wrong order. You need to set up player one then reboot. Then go into a game that uses all your buttons and in that game press a button on player one and see what it does. then find that same button on player two. Now put that button in the same spot player one has it. Keep doing that until all the buttons match.

my bad guys, my cfg file was wrong, sorry. its all working now.

OK, to answer my own question, I found the problem soon after posting here (Murphy law in action).
For some reason I had a file ~/.config/retroarch/config/MAME 2003/MAME 2003.cfg that was overlapping the configs. Removed it and started to work.
I don't know WHAT created this file, but I will let the infromation here in case someone has the same problem.

EmulationStation takes over the ALT-F7 an

not really a solution, but an idea: take a screenshot of your desktop while doing actual work, and use that as an overlay you can toggle along with mute, via hotkey combo :)

edit: just had another thought: a script your could call with a hotkey that saves your game state and kills the emulator, starts up a work related app/project file, etc.

@colebeansbroskie

You should start by reading through these links.
