Lr-mame 20xy and handheld games

theretroprince

@DTEAM Hi DTEAM. I'm struggling a bit getting any of these handhelds to run in lr-mame or standalone mame. I read through this entire post and I'm still not "getting it".

Would it be possible for you to document a walkthrough for dummies (i.e. me) of the process you did to get it running? Folders, config changes, file and config locations, runcommand, etc? I think I just need a few short paragraphs to get me over the finish line...

Sure, just give me some time to create the tutorial. It will be in another post.

@dteam That sounds great. Thank you!

These work in lr-mame as well for the most part. lr-mess/lr-mame is up to v0.225 right now.

I installed lr-mame (0.225) over the weekend and it's like 0.224. It just works for arcade games. Is there anything special that needs to be done to make this work with lr-mame 0.225 (from source).

Currently, only mame standalone works for me.

Absolutely nothing. Both lr-mame and lr-mess work for everything here for me. I didn't do anything special but compile and install them.

Lr-mess is fine but not lr-mame (arcade games only) . I’ll dig It tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up

Very, very interested in all this. Let us know as soon as it's ready.

It's done. Here's my Christmas gift for Lr-Mess and MAME. It took me a lot of time but It's done. Like I said, I'm not an artist but It's a good B plan for systems not supported by ScreenScraper or others.

You will found:

Cygnusmodified (highly modified) : 155 systems (for 5 inch LCD screen) Hope It's good for a regular TV.
MAME Artwork for Handheld Systems
XML files and "Scrapes" for unsupported systems by Screenscraper or others
config folder with lauching pictures
es_systems.cfg
platforms.cfg
retroarch-core-options.cfg

Fore MAME systems, use the gamelists from Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME

You can redump this folder or distribute some parts of It if you want.
People can add my theme on GitHub if they want.

It's there to share.

I hope It's usefull for Retropie community. regards

Very nice ! I moved your Tutorial topic to 'Ideas & Developments', I think it's a better place.

I added 6 new all_in1 plug & play consoles runned by xavix.cpp driver. They need frameskip = auto. With that, they run well. The list is in "Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME" is updated with those six consoles.

I add those plug & play in my gamelist.xml and downloaded images. see : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bfuYF7Ij_dhNc9b8bVCS6I22XiEmP7rv?usp=sharing

For lr-mess, I added a gamelists and images for pockstat and updated svmu with more games.
