        Hello

        my Pi is in an Acorn Electron keyboard and consequently does not have a scroll-lock.

        Is that key hard-coded or is there a way for me to remap it elsewhere? Is there an .rc or other file I can configure?

        TIA!

            @valerino Just catching up on this after seeing it a few months ago... So this is now available to install within RetroPie, in the RPi-Setup menu? What is it called there?

              To install things, you have to use the branch from @valerino, look at the first post.
              Read this post thoroughly and look at the NOTES !
              Click the link in the first post and read the readme on Github on how to install.

              Edit :
              My advice : install lr-mess from the binary (if you don't have a specific reason to use the source one).

                @valerino Running into problems with the script, ive installed the MESS emulator several times and all was working fine, then I tried to do a clean install on a freshly downloaded version of Retropie &followed the steps from your read me file.
                I've been trying to get it working for the last week and all I get is the same error, any help would be appreciated.

                here is a copy of the log where it stops doing its thing

                  Why don't you install the binary version ?

                      I am now building it to see if I get the error.
                      But this can take up to 4 hours.

                      Last month it compiled fine.
                      But I always notice that the pi gets really hot while compiling.
                      You have to make sure it will stay cool.

                      For me there was only 1 reason to compile.
                      There is an update on the P2000T which will then support cas files.

                      What is your reason to compile it ?

                        Well that was a lot easier and works, cheers @Folly, that will save me loads of time if I have to do it again

                            wanting to have a play around with bbc, electron & Phillips cdi.
                            it used to compile fine for me up until a week or so ago, then I started to get the 'couldn't find mess_libretro.so " error.
                            I always built it from source, just followed @valerino instructions.

                              I think on the time he was writing the instructions, you could only compile from source. But now the binary has been added.
                              Perhaps @valerino is willing to edit this post.

                              I think bbc, electron & Phillips cdi will all work with the binary though. ;-)

                                Mine crashed now while compiling.
                                So, I stop for now.
                                Perhaps some another time.

                                  Perhaps some another time.

                                  was it about 1hr into the install? thats what ive narrowed it down to, tried it on ssd, usb and sd.
                                  Anyway thanks for your help @Folly , at least if its a bug or something has changed @valerino can maybe have a look into it

                                    Mine crashed now while compiling.
                                    So, I stop for now.

                                    Yes about an hour, when i clicked the terminal.
                                    But the last few days my pi4 gets stuck more often, I just installed a cooler.
                                    Hope it get's better.

                                    I looked at both branches but Valerino didn't edit this file.
                                    It's the same as from the original RetroPie-setup.
                                    Perhaps it's best to try it again in a few weeks.
                                    Maybe it's an issue in lr-mess.

                                      I just had a look through this thread and I couldn't find any reference to this, but has anyone gotten lr-mess-vectrex up and running with overlays yet? Thinking about going down that rabbit hole but wondering if there has been anyone who has done it yet before I attempt it?

                                        Yes, that works !
                                        You can use the same methode as used with lr-vecx.

                                        I have some background information about that in my repository :
                                        https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/tree/main/00-scripts-00#run-with-a-backgroundoverlay-picture-for-handheld-or-vextrex-with-retroarch-in-lr-mess

                                        So if you already have the overlays working, they should also work with lr-mess.

                                        For handhelds I made a script that will generate these configs :
                                        https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/blob/main/00-scripts-00/generate-overlay-configs.sh
                                        The goal is to add vectrex also sometime.

                                        btw,
                                        Speech synthesis works with lr-mess, with lr-vecx this is an issue.

                                            @roslof @Folly Where did you guys get the overlays and artwork for Microvision? I was able to get the console up and running but my Googlefu is failing me on finding the artwork. I have the stuff from the MVEM site, but I can't get those artwork files to work with MESS.

                                            Also, thank you for the notes above. That was all fantastic and I was able to get the console up and running with little hassle thanks to your advice. The only thing I can't find is the artwork.
