    Hi,
    I can't run metal slug 4 and 5 on mame2003-plus. Works fine on fba or mame2010 but cheat don't possible.
    I tested the romset 0.139 with neogeo bios 0.78 and 0.139 but don't works.
    I tested to rebuild the rom with clrmamepro, but don't work.

    a solution for it to work?

    ps: sorry for my english.

      Is it just me or ain't the TAB button working for controls setup?

        Does taito f3 have any hope of being playable on the pi? Even at 1.5ghz, there's still considerable slowdowns.

        Is this strictly a Pi issue or is it an emulation issue? I can't say for sure whether I have tried any of these on my x64 build but I can try later (traveling for business). Is the slowdown obvious and throughout?

        John

        The pi is too slow, and I don't know if any arm optimizations can be done to help that. The slowdowns are quite obvious, especially on stock pi3 or pi3b+ speeds.

          Can someone check Ninja Baseball Bat Man's audio? The music is totally off in mame2003 and 2010. I double checked youtube videos and FBA plays it properly. It's barely noticeable in the 1st level but it's quite clear when the boss fight starts.

            @darksavior I ran it in lr-mame2003-plus and did hear completely incorrect audio at the boss, then used lr-mame2010 and it sounds exactly like this video to me at the boss.

            I didn't test lr-mame2003 as I don't have it installed anymore. I can't run the game full speed in lr-fbalpha on my RPi3B.

            Just for complete clarification, in all three emulators I tried, I used the exact same "Ninja Baseball Batman (US)" version of the ROM archive, which is named nbbatman in MAME v0.78 and MAME v0.139, while it is named nbbatmanuFB Alpha v0.2.97.43.

            Also, when it comes to lr-mame2003-plus and lr-mame2010, I do get slowdown during non-gameplay parts, with lr-mame2010 having less severe instances of it.

              thanks for pointing this out the noise is bad at the beginning too but its terrible at the first boss. I have put a pull request in with a fix for the sound issues. here https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/pull/374 when its pulled your good to go

                ok its good to update i done the fixed and broke recordings as well so you can decide if its worth compiling the ssv games audio is fixed as well.

                  @grant2258 That was fast. Thanks! Audio sounds good. It is weird how the intro part of each level has this severe slowdown but the rest of the game is fine at 60fps. At 1.5Ghz, with FBA i get 60fps at the intro part but then it's the rest of the game that's slow in the mid 50s.

                      @grant2258 @Darksavior May I ask you guys at what resolution you play and if you do any shader? Both are affecting the fps too.

                          @darksavior How do you determine the fps? I want to see how much I get with 480p and scanline only shader. Just for curiousity.

                            @thelostsoul You turn it on from the rgui by pressing hotkey+x. They changed the area where it was. I forget where. Onscreen overlay options or something.

                            Scanlines are achieved by an overlay which is just a picture with lines (yuck) and doesn't affect performance. Or by a crt shader like the optimized crt-pi shader or zfast shader which produces a crt tv's dots and properly produces the scanlines. The PC version of retroarch has more advanced crt shaders that benefit from a 4k tv.

                            You can also tinker with the shader settings. I don't like the crt-pi shader's default. Too dark. I max out the shader's brightness setting and use that.

                              @darksavior Ah ok, I just thought there would be a different way to do this properly. I remember that option now you mention it. About the shaders, I like the crt-pi shader and its vertical counter part, but 1. they aren't made for 480p 4:3: pc monitor and second for some arcade games it just looks awful. And I read somewhere even the crt-pi can have an inpug lag effect on "some" systems, but probably even not noticeable.

                              Anyway, thats a different story and probably this isn't the right place for talking about it. I will test some games and check the fps.

                                Tatsuya79 from the libretro team says that the very latest RetroArch nightlies/source provide improved mame2003-plus runahead lag reduction via the "2nd Instance" approach.

                                It remains to be seen whether that will be practical on low power systems but there are examples of runahead working with some other cores on the rpi -- it is likely to vary from one game driver to another with this core.

                                    That's a setting in the RetroArch latency settings -- it should be enabled for mame2003-plus runahead.

                                      @markwkidd - Ok, I see why that could be resource intensive but it would be slick if it works well on the Pi. I wonder what console cores are using it. Here's a Libretro link that explains what it is and how to use it.

                                        There are some posts in these forums you can probably search out -- my sense of the state of runahead on pi is that it's limited but better than many were initially predicting considering the pi cpu.

                                          The RetroArch developers have said they will add support for MAME artwork files to RetroArch (including backdrops and bezels) if someone will code it.

                                          I've started a bounty for anyone interested: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/7419

                                          This would be a great step forward for all arcade emulation via RetroArch if it is added.
