@Folly No sorry I meant the OSX Mame nightly built of 0.278. so standalone Mame works and boots up on my Raspberry pi 5. Games like Daytona USA, Dynamite Cop I tried and they booted. Only problem is I'm not getting audio, I imagine I need to add some dependancies or change some settings to get it to look for alsa
Anyway, I'm building lr-mame first and if that works as well or if the fps is a significantly lower
No problem running it directly on OSX.
But if you like and can then try to run debian12 or above with mate desktop on your M1 and you can just install RetroPie on top. You can even use the raspberry pi binaries and you can also make the binaries for the rpi on your M1 (only 64bit though). mame compiles within an hour on the M1. If you have enough ram (16Mb+) then half an hour can be possible (vs 4-5 hours on an rpi).
That is how I do it and these binaries are placed on the gdrives to share within the script. So if you want you could help me with that building lr-mame versions for example.
I added code for creating model2/model3 ini files containing the systems that are model2 or model3 systems. that way the systems can be added to the next databases to be able to categorize model2 and model3 into separate roms folders.
The commit of model2.ini can be found here.
I also added the model2 data to the old 277 database here, so it's possible now to install model2 as a category and easily link the roms using the 277 database.
Remember to update the script, then it will get the updated database too.
With linking the roms remember to remove (&& /@good@/) in the search input option to link all model2 roms as most of them are marked "preliminary".
