Revenge of Death Adder not launching
-
When you launch the game and it fails check
cat /dev/shm/runcommand.logfrom shell and see what the errors are.I use advmame 3.9 and ga2 works fine for me, I am using the world rom though never tried the US version.

Thanks, I'll try the logs!
What is advmame? I didnt see that in the list of rom folders (even though I do see mentioned in the docs)
-
I use the arcade folder for advancemame roms instead of the default mame-advmame folder, it also uses the .106 romset. I've had really good luck with it. but YMMV. You prob don't see it as I don't think it's installed by default.

Once you check the runcommand.log file that should help, most of the time it's just the wrong romset you will see errors about missing files in the rom.

So I finnaly figured out that you find advmame in optional packages not experimental! I got teh game running, but there is no sound and the controls dont work in advmame. Do I need to configure them specially for advmame? It works fine in all other emulators.
Thanks

@seismicsquall Advmame's input is not automatically configured after you add you gamepad in EmulationStation, like RetroArch. You need to use a keyboard and press Tab to bring up the MAME menu and configure your input.
-
@mitu Thanks. I'll give it a try today. Is it the same deal with the sounds output?
-
Which Raspberry Pi are you running? Pi3 B+, Pi4?
-
Golden Axe 2 does run well, with sound, using AdvanceMame on a PI3B+.
No idea why you dont have any sound:/ -
@GreenHawk84 Pi4 B
-
@seismicsquall Get the correct romset. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/
The game has visual bugs with mame2003 so use mame 2010 or 2016. I like to use shaders so I don't use advmame.
-
I got it working with AdvanceMame. It seems the sound only works once you start the game (which I could not do earlier because I could not configure my controls). Once I accessed the advmame emulator menu by pressing Tab I was able to configure my controls and start the game.
After playing it for about 5 min I can say that I did no experience any sound or visual glitches - the shadows seemed fine as well.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Also, anyone know the difference between the World and US versions?
-
@seismicsquall usually the US-Versions come with the FBI-Screen "Winners dont use drugs", but no differences in gameplay etc.
There are only very few games that really have major differences in Level-Design etc -
Jeff Sessions should recuse himself from those.
-
@seismicsquall idk specifically for this one, but lots of US versions have some kind of censorship, grey blood and the likes.
