MAME 0.139u1/MAME4Droid ROM works using Mame2010

mame2010 is the port of MAME 0.139u1/MAME4Droid to libretro, so that's expected

@mortalwombat said in How to config 8-way rotary joystick games? (Ikaris, Forgotten Worlds etc):

Regarding Gondomania (gondo.zip, US version), the Mame 0.139u1/Mame4Droid version seems to work, allowing your character to rotate with the L/R buttons when using it on Mame2000 or Mame2010. However, this only seems to allow you to shoot your special weapons in these directions (knives, axes, etc).

I know emulation of this game had major emulation fixes recently (because its MCU was finally dumped in 2020, 22 years after the game was first wrongly "emulated" with the dumps available), but i don't know how broken it previously was since i never played it before that redump. Anyway, only MAME (current) and FBNeo will allow you to play this game as it was intended, using the dumps from 2020. Afaik, the main shoot is the one rotating.

I can't reproduce the build error using a similar setup.

Support for Raspbian Stretch has been dropped - as you probably have been informed when starting RetroPie-Setup - so there's not much that will be done to fix errors on older systems.

@mortalwombat said in Anyway to copy ROMs btwn folders on (or from) your MicroSD?:

Anything this might mean? It wouldn't have to do with which romset they belong to, or which default emulator they've been set to?

It doesn't mean anything related to the emulator/romset the files are associated with. It's just coloring based on the file type and the file's attribute (executable). Same colors you see when your run the ls --color command to list a folder.

@phoenixflood that looks much better.

@mitu Thank you it fixed all my problems I was having. You have been most helpful.

Found the answer.

Although I did nothing more than go in to RetroArch and simply reconfigure the joypad using the exact same settings - it must have 'reset't things, and the hotkey is now working on the 3DO just like all other emulators.

Hopefully this may help someone else in the future

Im assuming this is a brand new problem that no one has experienced before based on the screen I have being generic.

@polygaryd
so to run this from emulationstation @mitu said to add XINIT: /opt/retropie/ports/dunelegacy/dunelegacy in the emulators.cfg file in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/dunelegacy folder and retropie's run command will handle xinit. So I removed xserver-xorg-legacy package and tested what he told me to do. It does in fact work, no need for sudo before the xinit command with his suggestion.

As a side note he actually told me to do this for glhexen2 which needs xinit but couldnt find the game data files if you run "sudo xinit". I used what he told me and applied it to dunelegacy.

There are two more issues, one I have overcome the other I need help with. The issue I overcame was that when you run dunelegacy it says it cant find the pak files to run the game and wants them either in the "data" folder or /home/pi/.configs/dunelegacy/data". So in the start script located in /home/pi/Retropie/roms/ports/dunelegacy.sh I added "cd /opt/retropie/ports/dunelegacy" before the runcommand line. This first puts you in the dunelegacy directory with the executable and the data folder it wants, then runs the runcommand to execute the dunelegacy executable. I wish I could have the data under /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports like every other game ran in emulationstation but I havent figured out how to do that yet if its even possible.

The issue I need help with is I have no keyboard in dune legacy, but the mouse works. The game works fine otherwise. I cannot figure out how to get the keyboard working.

Keyboard does work in glhexen2 using XINIT: string so it must be something wrong with dunelegacy??

Any help on this would be great.

@mitu

I'm using it from emulationstation.

@mitu Using the standalone version of MAME, most recent version. And if you run merlin, mmerlin, mbdtower, starwbc you can see this happen.

Configuring the keyboard in ES doesn't mean you can't use it as a keyboard in the emulators. Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and specify which emulators have you tried and didn't work.

@lolonois Thankyou very much. I will keep this in mind !

@mitu Thank You, that explains so much.

@bobharris PI 2 model b V1.1 works awesome for me, there's just a little lag, and all I did was set overclock to high.

@dankcushions, this is what I'm currently working on. I'll use the documentation Quicksilver mentioned to rebuild the old systems I want to transfer.

@mahoneyt944 thanks!!!!

I’m late to this show. But my recent build of mame2003plus is still having issues with this audio sample.

It works in the test menu, but in game it crashes. It also crashes when you I set the music to play in demo mode.
