            Yes same, is it possible to play it now with the last updates ?
            I read we must use the CHD files, but is there an updated ROMDAT to use the good set ?
            Thanks

            Life is game, just play it !

              Finally got around to testing these.. For the record, I didn't test sound quality...only that the rom launched and there was sound. I understand that the workaround for 'low sound' is to increase the volume in the service menu.

                @johnodon yes thats the usual way people do it you can also press + on your numpad it puts the ra volume up and down as well. No idea if it works on retropie should do though

                    On a Pi 3 it's like playing in slow motion but it does run fine. Not really playable due to speed though.

                    I read we must use the CHD files, but is there an updated ROMDAT to use the good set ?

                    You can download it under the metadata on the Github site here. It may be a few days old though.

                    You can also start any game, pull up the 'TAB' menu, arrow down to 'Generate XML DAT' and press 'Enter'. It will write out the most current DAT directly from code to /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/metadata/mame2003-plus.xml

                      Also several minor improvements for games behind the scenes like getting into 'F2', etc. have been fixed.

                      Does this actually work? I thought it may have been just an 'Arcade' folder issue but I copied the same ROM to the 'mame-libretro' folder and F2 still isn't working for me when launching with lr-mame2003-plus. If I launch the same ROM with lr-mame2003 in either the folder it works as expected.

                        I think fixes are on a per ROM basis, not every ROM. What ROM are you trying to get into the Service menu?

                          Pretty much any of the ones listed above that require the volume to be increased. NBA Hangtime is the ones I have been trying.

                            I tested nbahangt under the Arcade folder for both 2003 and Plus and I was able to pull up the service menu on both ok. I am using the older 4.3 if that's making the difference.

                              OK...I'm rebuilding my test box right now. I'll try again later.

                                Maybe I am dong something wrong...

                                On a fresh install, this is what I get when testing nbahangt:

                                Folder: mame-libretro, Core: lr-mame2003...F2 enters service menu
                                Folder: arcade, Core: lr-mame2003...F2 enters service menu
                                Folder: mame-libretro, Core: lr-mame2003-plus...F2 --> "core does not support save states"
                                Folder: arcade, Core: lr-mame2003-plus...F2 --> "core does not support saves states"

                                I'm assuming that this is a simple mapping issue but why would the mapping be different out-of-the-box for mame2003-plus vs maame2003?

                                  if you want keyboard only choose keyboard instead of simu

                                  *sorry fixed the link was one above it

                                  if you want keyboard to controls to work like the old mame2003 you need to go to rgui->options and change input interface to simultaneous

                                  the other two methods explain themselfs

                                    You're trying to get to the screen shown below correct? I thought it might help to verify we are on the same page.

                                    I downloaded both 2003 and Plus from source last night and both work fine with the game in the Arcade folder to pull up the service menu. I am using 4.3, what version are you running?

                                    Also as @grant2258 pointed out above I have my 'Input Interface' set to 'Simultaneous'. Are you able to at least pull up the TAB menu?

                                      That's exactly it.

                                      I am running v4.4.2

                                      For mame2003+, If I set my input to "mame keyboard" I can get to the service menu using F2. I don't have to do this for mame2003...it works out-of-the-box.

                                        Mame2003 had a problems with double inputs from the Kb ra inputs and mame inputs both activated when pressed.

                                        Mame 2003+ offers you an option of retropad,keyboard or the default mame2003 behavior simultaneous which has it's issues. If you don't know they are or experience them in your setup just set it to simu.

                                        Hopefully mark documents this all one day as he put a lot of work into it and the system works a lot better with ra without the need to define keys in mames tab menu thats why the menu for defining keys is off by default

                                          Mame2003 had a problems with double inputs from the Kb ra inputs and mame inputs both activated when pressed.

                                          Mame 2003+ offers you an option of retropad,keyboard or the default mame2003 behavior simultaneous which has it's issues. If you don't know they are or experience them in your setup just set it to simu.

                                          Hopefully mark documents this all one day as he put a lot of work into it and the system works a lot better with ra without the need to define keys in mames tab menu thats why the menu for defining keys is off by default

                                          That makes perfect sense! TY for the explanation grant.

                                            Just out of curiosity have you tried that setting with 4.4.3 to see if does work?
