lr-mess2016: does it work at all?

@SpudsMcToole Your log file shows that RetroArch cannot find the core file. The correct name of the core name is mess2016_libretro.so, your log file shows different name (mess_libretro.so).

Cheers. Fixed that, but it now gives me a "segmentation fault", whatever that means.

dmmarti: will have a look at your post and see if I can get anywhere.

The Segmentation fault is a generic error, it usually indicates a bad ROM/Game file. More details on the error would be visible if you enable verbose logging.

@mitu I wonder if it's because I've got it as astrocade, not astrocde?

@SpudsMcToole Hmm, nope, still doesn't know the game.

[libretro INFO] Starting game:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/astrocde/spacefrt.zip

"spacefrt" approximately matches the following
supported software items (best match first):


/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1006: 25678 Segmentation fault      /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess2016/mess2016_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/astrocde/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/astrocde/spacefrt.zip" --verbose --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

@SpudsMcToole Did you check @rkoster's guide from this topic ?

SpudsMcToole

@mitu Yeah, that was what made me try it in the first place.

rkoster

I wasn’t able to get lr-mess2016 to work at all.

rkoster

Just to add to this, here's my previous post on failing to get lr-mess2016 to work. Looks like the same error.

tobas

@rkoster how do you guys even get mess to install? it fails because of a gcc error everytime

rkoster

@tobas Check this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18126/lr-mess-and-lr-mess2016-not-compiling/19

Basically, it's usually lack of memory.

Is there a binary install for lr-mess?

If you're on Raspbian Stretch, yes.

tobas

@rkoster is that a solvable problem with a pi 3b?

rkoster

@tobas I used the binary install on a 3b. So I know it works that way. Check the experimental install menu, I think the binary install is in there.
