AdvMESS For Dummies - a basic guide

Unfortunately Firetrack won't work properly. i tested it on bbcb and bbcp128. the game starts fine, but is buggy during gameplay.
-
Unfortunately Astroblaster by Tricky also doesn't work. Same issue like Firetrack.
-
@teller Yes, quite a few games simply don't work in the emulator. None of the super-modern semi-emulated remakes like Astro Blaster or Space Invaders or Centipede do. Them's the breaks.
-
Yep. Same problem as teller.
I will try them on real hardware, and Beebem on PC, just to make sure nothing is missing. -
@SpudsMcToole Firetrack was from 1987.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FiretrackI know. So what? No emulator on any platform runs 100% of games perfectly.
-
Beebem, ran Firetrack, perfectly. As did my Master 128.
This Mess emulator, needs a update, or do a port of Beebem. -
@John_RM_70 Sure, that'd be great. Until that happens we're just going to have to deal with the fact that the Retropie MESS emulation doesn't.
-
You can deal with it, I'm going to stop using it and stick to the real thing. After all, why would I intentionally take a far worse option ?
Until this is dealt with, I'm done fucking around with this nonsense. -
no rushes. it will happen and time will tell.
a working libretro port of beebem would be amazing.
btw, did somebody tried out runing b-em on retropie? i've read that somebody compiled a working pi version. -
Oh I would buy a BBC Micro mini immediately ;)
-
@teller B-Em uses the library Allegro 4.x and other libraries so I think it would need Raspbian installed.
