      @DTEAM I think I'll be installing lr-mess tomorrow then! Results look good.

        @DTEAM Considering there isn't a whole ton of games in the Jaguar library, it would be really awesome if you would consider doing the same thing for the rest of the games too.

          Can I set up lr-mess as an additional emulator within atarijaguar, or does it have to be in a new jaguar directory as described in the linked thread?

          I've got it set up so that I can open my Jaguar games with lr-mess, and I've put bioses within roms/atarijaguar but games are not opening as yet.

          The RunCommand isn't very descriptive:

          Parameters: 
          Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/atarijaguar/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atarijaguar/Alien vs Predator (World).j64" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
          
          

          Maybe the BIOSes are just not the ones, I don't know if the system would get further if that was the reason... Or these hash files I see mentioned, do they come with the lr-mess install or do I need to seek them out?

            Hi. I wanted to do the same thing myself, so I made the change locally and never ended up uploading it anywhere. It's now in RetroPie-Extra, so if you use it, you can safely use the same ROM directory for both lr-mess-jaguar and lr-virtualjaguar.

              Okay, that installed well. Thank you!

              The additional information says the games need to be .zip, for some reason all mine are .j64. I guess I need to remedy that before I get anywhere with this.

                  Yeah, I have done. Ever the optimist!

                  Didn't work, but then I don't know if that is to do with the three BIOS I have in my roms/atarijaguar directory or the .zip/.j64 issue. A bit of experimentation is required I guess.

                  Although does the below suggest that lr-mess wasn't set up correctly? I installed it from Source.

                  Parameters: 
                  Executing: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/run_mess.sh /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so /opt/retropie/configs/atarijaguar/retroarch.cfg atarijaguar /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -cart "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atarijaguar/Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales (World).j64" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

                      I can't suss out which part I need to do here, I've installed lr-mess and then your lr-mess-jaguar is essentially the fake core isn't it?

                      Is the problem that I didn't use valerino's version of lr-mess in the first place? Is that what I need to look into?

                        @AdamBeGood I was referring to in general yes, thanks, and @DTEAM that's great. I'll need to 'mess' around with lr-mess when i get a chance.

                          To install (manually) a system like Jaguar with Lr-mess, fallow this thread:
                          https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22600/how-to-emulate-bally-astrocade-vtech-creativision-and-emerson-arcadia-2001-in-lr-mess

                          Download mame0225s.exe on https://www.mamedev.org/release.html , installe It and go in "hash" folder to get jaguar.xml file.
                          To run Lr-Mess, you need to match the names of your roms with the list in the hash folder (jaguar.xml). Copy that file (jaguar.xml) and paste It in

                          /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/hash/

                          BIOSes are

                          • jaguarboot.zip
                          • jaguar.zip
                          • jaguarcd.zip

                          Copy those Bios in the main rom folder, not bios folder.
                          /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

                          Now Create your system:

                          In /opt/retropie/configs/jaguar

                          emulators.cfg

                          lr-virtualjaguar = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-virtualjaguar/virtualjaguar_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/jaguar/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
                          lr-mess = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/jaguar/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
                          default = "lr-mess"
                          
                          

                          retroarch.cfg

                          # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line
                          
                          input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/jaguar/"
                          
                          #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"
                          

                          in /opt/retropie/configs/all

                          platforms.cfg

                              For Jaguar with Lr-Mess , you must set the Lr-mess deadzone for D-Pad(ex: for AVP)
                              and to adjust the sound.
                              It seems to create some sound problems and control problems for some games

                                Jaguar doesn't have analog input so I don't see why you would need to set a deadzone? I haven't and everything seems fine?

                                  It's maybe similar to the mouse problem with CD-I

                                  For some games. Everything go to right and down without touching controller

                                  In PVA (predator vs alien), the character move alone and when I play with deadzone , It stop.

                                  In Double Dragon V. We don't have the main combat game soundtrack. When I push start (pause) and after (not in same time) push B or A to access volume control in the game, the volume go down alone.

                                  For CD-I,I enabled the mouse to fixed the movement problem, I'll see If It create the problem for Jaguar

                                    The Analog Sensitivity must be fix at 0.3
                                    With that, the controllers issues are fixed. Forget about what I said for deadzone.

                                    For now, No solution for sound in some games

                                      Does this suggest my BIOS is at fault? I am unsure about the game name issue, as I think I have that right as per the Hash file in the Mame directory.

                                      If anyone can quickly diagnose this, thank you. Otherwise, don't worry - I can stick with virtualjaguar.

                                        your system must be named jaguar and not atarijaguar. Lr-mess is really picky with machines names.

                                        See my post above for es_systems.cfg and others

                                        for quick machine info with MAME/ Mess

                                          Ahhh okay, I thought I could include this within my existing atarijaguar folder, I didn't realise it was so specific. Thank you!

                                            you have to change everything for jaguar (roms folder, config file, emulators.cfg (also for virtualjaguar), ect. ) , excepted your theme.
