@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.........
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.

Hi guys, thanks for all your work it's fantastic.

Where is it generated please?
If you van give me the actuel one it can help a lot, but i would like to understand because i see you will release a new great update in a near future ....
Thanks -

Where is it generated please?
"if your roms are in /RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/
your dat will be in
/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003-plus/ mame2003-plus.xml"(from this post)
-
@WeirdH Yes i've think to this and search in /userdata/roms/mame froam Batocera and it is not here :(
Same on PC shere i drag n drop my rom file ...
I will try on my Retropie but if you can share the file here.
Thanks -
I've try on my Retropie and same :(
Not there : /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Arcade
Not there : /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame
Not there : /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003-plusIf some one can share his file, really i don't understand :(
-
@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 !Life is game, just play it !
-
@darknior You can get it from here: https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/mame2003-plus.xml
-
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.
-
@darknior I would send you mine, but I don't know of a good place to upload.

Your talking about Space Launcher i assume.?? i've added the n8080.c driver but not yet submitted it to MAME2003+ core as i've ran into a issue with one game namely
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.............Bandito / Sheriff
Space Fever
Space Fever High Splitter
Space Launcher

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!

@arcadez2003 Great you added Sheriff, thanks! Was only playable in mame2010.
For all those that may be interested an overlay and info on how to setup controls can be found here. -

Heli Fire may work in this core i've had similar issues previously with games not working in my MAME72 test core but they're fine in this one Virtua Fighter for example.
anyway i have now pushed my n8080 backport improvements to MAME2003+ the roms needed to change but for ease of use i've updated em to latest MAME more or
less.Please give Heli Fire a whirl and lemmie know if it plays or not

for the missing gfx prom via a later MAME build.Arcade Addict
