        @barbudreadmon Yup, just read about rollback sets. This has been an educational day for me. Thanks for your replies.

          @Riverstorm It works now, Space launcher up and running. Thanks, any and all, for your help.

            Well done you got there in the end :) BTW how do the colours look.?? Space Launcher was one of arnold's additions, i would have added the colour prom from Space Fever as per this change

            0.82u2: Stefan Jokisch decided to add the color prom from Space Fever to Space Launcher.

              @arcadez2003 Well, glad you asked. Something's definitely up: everything is white, like a vanilla Space Invaders without any background artwork. The sound is also not right, when compared to gameplay on youtube: it plays a looping riff unless you press the button and there are no explosions. I must have done something wrong still...

              EDIT: I did manage to get Match It 2 running perfectly, though, so I don't know what's wrong with Space Launcher.

                This is what i getting with arnold's code in my MAME72 test build.........

                spacelnc.png

                Sound is borked though, when i drop the same rom into my MAME84 emu Space Launcher is in colour and the sound is fine, this update is what will sort everything
                that is wrong with Space Launcher and the other games which share the same hardware.......

                0.82u2: Added vidhrdw\n8080.c and sndhrdw\n8080.c. Nintendo 8080 hardware update [Stefan Jokisch]: The driver has now been split into three parts (drivers, sndhrdw\ and vidhrdw\n8080.c).
                0.80u2: Added n8080.c driver. Stefan Jokisch update the Nintendo 8080 based games. Added Space Fever, Space Fever High Splitter, Space Launcher, Sheriff / Bandido and Helifire from the 8080bw to the n8080 driver. Fixed CPU speed, unified memory maps and changed ROM labels in all games.
                13th March 2004: Stefan Jokisch sent in an update to the early Nintendo 8080 games driver, fixing a lot of bugs and graphics glitches in the individual games.

                Alotta graft but i might take this one on and plod away at it since it's classic Nintendo we're talking about here.

                    "if your roms are in /RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/
                    your dat will be in
                    /RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003-plus/ mame2003-plus.xml"

                          @darknior - @WeirdH posted the correct path above for you on the Pi but I think it's just missing the home directory shortcut ~ in the front but it's correct nevertheless. Here's the full path below for arcade and mame-libretro but I'm not sure on the path for Batocera or Windows.

                          /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus.xml
                          /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus.xml

                            @Riverstorm Thanks i already try these directories and there is no XML file ... It's why i ask some one to share his XML to help me.
                            I search every where on my two PI and my PC, i don't have this file !

                                that not up to date someone at libretro needs to update it the xml file will be where your retroarch savedir is set to. Retropie just happens to use the content dir as the savedir.

                                  @arcadez2003 Good to know it wasn't just me. I got the game running on mame2010, but that one always has messy keyboard controls. It won't give me functioning buttons on my cab for player 2 coin and start, and even if I use a keyboard, the player 2 screen is always up side down, with no way to flip it. Oh well, it's running at least.

                                          Heli Fire it's locking up on boot, but all the other games look lovely now they're all in colour with their special graphical effects and the sound is good now also.............

                                            Yes, I was. Awesome that you got it to work! Shame about Heli Fire though. I really have no idea what goes on in coding an emulator, so I consider you a miracle worker either way.

                                            That 'Sheriff' screenshot gives me WarioWare flashbacks, even though it was presented in white there as well!
