      @AdamBeGood Try it anyways.

      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
      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1264: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/run_mess.sh: No such file or directory
      
      

      Follow this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/25576/new-scriptmodules-lr-vice-xvic-gsplus-proper-lr-mess-integration/4?_=1601438647362

      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

          jaguar_exts=".j64 .jag .zip"
          jaguar_fullname="Atari Jaguar"
          

          in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation

          es_systems.cfg

             <system>
              <name>jaguar</name>
              <fullname>Atari Jaguar</fullname>
              <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/jaguar</path>
              <extension>.j64 .jag .zip .J64 .JAG .ZIP</extension>
              <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ jaguar %ROM%</command>
              <platform>jaguar</platform>
              <theme>atarijaguar</theme>
            </system>

              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

                    retroarch-core-options.cfg
                    My setup

                    mame_current_frame_skip = "1"
                    

                    In the retroach menu Main menu/settings/Input/
                    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

                      I am getting this output on RunCommand now: https://pastebin.com/SrmvBbK0

                      202.[libretro INFO] ARGUV[0]=atarijaguar
                      203.[libretro WARN] Driver atarijaguar not found -1
                      204.[libretro WARN] Game not found: alien vs predator (world)
                      205.[libretro INFO] RES:-2
                      

                      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

                        see : http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=jaguar&arcade_only=0&autosearch=1&lang=en

                        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.

                              There's no need to do that with the lr-mess-jaguar.sh I provided above. I have both lr-virtualjaguar and lr-mess-jaguar using the atarijaguar roms folder just fine.

                                With your method, I agree. It's maybe precompiled with some tweaks. Probably "enable softlist = off and maybe boot from CLI = off.
                                Did you have sound issues with some games like Double Dragon V or Rayman with this setup. Is It fixed?

                                  I read the script that you proposed and It's very nice!
                                  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-mess-jaguar.sh
                                  People should use It. It's easier.
                                  The two methods work.

                                    I haven't tried it yet, I'm working right now so I'll look at it a bit later.

                                        In the jaguar.xml file , they identify sounds issues, black screens, gfx issue and more per video games for Lr-Mess.
                                        Both of those emulators are less than perfect. A lot of issues with those two.
                                        We have to test games and get the best emulator for each one of those.
