@johnodon ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs - they are gzip compressed. Can decompress relevant one and put on a pastebin site. Please start a new topic.

This is the last error I see before the script exited:

@johnodon you ran out of memory. Increase your system swap maybe or build with

sudo MAKEFLAGS=-j1 ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Or -j2 maybe. (Number of threads).

I didn't even have a swapfile. :-\

Created one and retrying.

Thanks @BuZz. Sorry for hijacking.

Completed successfully.

So the Libretro team updated lr-mame to v222 and I tried installing from binary and v220 was installed...and then I compiled from source and it was v222 but it errors out when trying to play a rom.

So what is the binary source for lr-mame?

And the compile time for the latest v222 source was somewhere about 3 hours.

On the PI systems, probably the source when it was last compiled - 21 May, lr-mame using 0.220 upstream.

And the compile time for the latest v222 source was somewhere about 3 hours.

On a Pi ? I highly doubt it.

My point is something is broken again with the lr-mame because I know that compiling from source for lr-mame and/or mamedev is about 6-8 hrs on a Pi4

lr-mame should be fine - when did you try to install it from source ?

bluestang

@mitu last night - Here is the install log - https://pastebin.com/h8mxUE7n

132/132 projects (line 1942) seems rather low compared to previous compiles I've done in the past.

mitu

@bluestang I don't see an error in the log, I'm not sure what's the error ?

bluestang

@mitu let me clarify my issue:

compiling lr-mame is fine - no issues as you can see from the install log, albeit the number of projects seems lower than usual.

However, when I try to start a rom with lr-mame it errors out. Unfortunately, I do not have the log for the exact error. I got carried away with trying to clean out old files and the log file with error accidentally got deleted.

The only way to reproduce the error on my end will be to re-compile lr-mame again. I'll post that log if I can later today.

So that is why I also asked the question about the latest compiled binary earlier, because I was under the impression that the binary would have been recompiled with the new v222 mame source files. (i.e. - like the librtro nighty builds)

You don't need a build log for that (the one you posted is fine), get a verbose log from running the game and post it on pastebin.com.

The binaries are not automatically updated each time the upstream changes/releases a new version.

bluestang

@mitu I will get the verbose log for you later today. As for the binaries, are the ones the LibeRetro folks compile not the same? - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/

No, we don't use the Libretro buildbot binaries.

@mitu almost 4 hours later - here is the error - https://pastebin.com/zMQtmSTK

This seems pretty important:

line 192 [libretro ERROR] System not found: arcade
line 193 [libretro WARN] Driver arcade not found -1

I updated the source compile log as well - https://pastebin.com/h8mxUE7n

I think that's a red-herring. I get the same error even when a game is correctly booted, for instance 1942:

I'm using the currenty binary, not a source update - if something is not working that was previously working, then it might be from the update.
As always with Arcade emulation, I'd double check if your romset is correct for the MAME version you're trying to use.

bluestang

@mitu there is an issue for this opened up in the lr-mame Github - https://github.com/libretro/mame/issues/163

Romset is the correct version.
