      @dankcushions , you may want to consider "fixing default aspect ratio for CPS2 games" to "all games" in Mame2003. I am finding that everything is outside of what it should be. Mortal Kombat plays stretched, Donkey Kong is not 3:4, etc.

        @GreenHawk84 it's not everything, but there is a general problem. I gave cps2 games as examples.

            @space-invader my to-do list is in the first post.

            I think using more than one trackball/mouse in retroarch MIGHT be fixable. I'll look into that in a week or so :)

            It would be awesome! Waiting for your great job!

              aspect ratio problems have now been fixed :)

              previously some games would appear at the wrong ratio (eg blasteroids stretched, street fighter 2/alpha stretched, mortal kombat stretched). now corrected via https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/53

              you should now never need to use custom aspect ratios to get it to look correct.

                      Awesome work man!

                      I updated Lr-Mame2003 today via "source." I went to launch Battletoads and it is still stretched. Do I need to update again today to get the new update to fix it? Thanks!

                        thanks :) it was updated when i posted last (21 hrs ago) so i think so, as battletoads is approx 4:3 on this version (just tested)

                          @dankcushions So is the correct way to update Lr-Mame2003 in the retropie menu and update via "source"?

                            you can update from binary - the binaries have been updated.

                                thanks! so i checked mame2010 out - it has the same issue and it should have a similar fix, but i couldn't quickly fix it as there's some annoying stuff in the way it was written. here's where i'd want to fix it: https://github.com/libretro/mame2010-libretro/blob/master/src/osd/retro/retromapper.c#L144

                                but the machine being run isn't initialised till after, here: https://github.com/libretro/mame2010-libretro/blob/master/src/osd/retro/retromain.c#L222

                                so really either the init needs to happen sooner, or the retro_av_info needs to be reset after the init.

                                anyway, i logged the issue: https://github.com/libretro/mame2010-libretro/issues/20

                                    I'm not working on it right now but it's not impossible, just not much point me looking at it when there's stuff out there I can get fixed easier.

                                      @dankcushions, righto, well it is your own time, but I do hope it can be done. Very much so..

                                          5th September 2016

                                          • Second stick support
                                            For games like robotron that have a second stick to fire, you can now use the second analog stick to do this.
                                            See https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003#dual-stick-games

                                          2nd September 2016

                                          • pointer support
                                            not a huge lot of use for most here, but i added support for trackpads/touchscreens, or any other absolute pointer device. it might work with the PS4 controller's touchpad, actually!
                                            see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003#pointertrackpadtouchscreen-support

                                          1st September 2016

                                          • core input remapping added
                                            see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#core-input-remapping
                                            (although, i still favour https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003#mame-menu)
