@dteam Thank you! I had already downloaded those G&W ones and I have them running. Great to get these other ones as well.
-
@dteam Is it a different romset that works with MAME than it does with lr-vecx? All my roms work fine under lr but I can't get them to load in MAME. It crashes back to ES at the "initializing" screen.
-
@tpr
Normally They should work, because we don't refer to %BASENAME% (hash file) but to c -cart %rom% -
@dteam Weird. I've tried three different BIOS files in my /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS directory and about 10 different roms that work in lr-vecx and I can't get anything to load. It just pops up to the "initializing" screen and then goes back to ES. No clue what I'm doing wrong here.

reedit: I added /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS in rompath
-
@dteam Yay! I got it up and running. I added both of these to rompath in mame.ini:
/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS;/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/vectrexI'm running Berzerk and there is a lot of popping and crackling sounds. Is that normal?
I also still can't seem to get the overlay to work.
What do I need for the artwork file in the artwork folder?
-
No sound issue, on my side, if You open your rom with mame-vectrex-autoframeskip
For Artworks, put the vectrex. zip file directly in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/artwork
In the game, go in video options ---> Screen#0 -----> choose the overlay associated to your game.
It works for me
-
@dteam Yay! I got it working! The gameplay under the overlay seems really light though. Very hard to see. Even messing with the mame slider bars didn't seem to help. Any advice on settings to make the game look better?
-
@dteam Also, I can get every rom to work except for Mine Storm. Any idea why? I've tried multiple versions of it and I can't get any of them to work.
-
@dteam Is there any way via the command line to load a specific overlay when you load a rom?
-
On mine It’s not that bad. You can play with the crosshair option or machine configuration.
MindStorm doesn't work for me. Maybe It’s the emulator and not your rom. Ill try It later -
@dteam I did some more research. Looks like Mine Storm doesn't work for anyone. I'm using Mine Storm II since it's the same game with some bug fixes.
I ended up using lr-MESS instead of the stand alone MAME (I like having RA controller options) and it's all working great!
I wish I could figure out a way to load up each rom with the correct overlay already there, but that's a minor thing...
Now to find those Microvision overlays. Still can't seem to find them anywhere.
-
I never found Microvision overlays either.
Altough there was a website describing all the games for Microvision and they had pictures, but I can't find it anymore.Seems I found something else, perhaps you can use this stuff.
(Perhaps there is copyrighted stuff, so I don't use links)
Search for 6fge7fr5j2k6e6d and search in the webpage for the same code.
You should be able to find it. -

Thanks! Downloaded. I'll see if anything can be done with them.
-
heyho!
is there any chance to add the "Bandai Apple Pippin". I'm looking for strange consoles. Would be nice.
Is there any other strategy to run pippin roms on raspi4b 2g?
kind regards

@flori89
I tried It, but It doesn’t work.
Go here if you wanna try everything on lr-MESS easilyDevelopment of module-script generator for lr-mess and mame standalone
For functional unusual stuff easy to run on lr-mess/MAME , see the list here
-
@flori89
I had a try to on
pippin
too.
There was a bios rom missing in my pippin.zip.
("bandai pippin (19960920 - kinka 1.3) - 3e6b3ee4-a52528e9ce8c.rom" was missing)
I found it, so I tried a game.
(Edit : pippin.zip of the "MAME201_Merged" package should contain all)Then I got this output in mame.
-
@folly The FM Towns has the same thing if I recall, but as we know it can run a lot of games really well.
-
Ok, good point.
So perhaps it can work.
I will try some more games then. -
I tried these games without success in both lr-mess and mame (sha1sum)(cue/bin) :

(seems nothing is working)I will have a look for games in the hash table (/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/hash/pippin.xml)
This xml also says :
Todo: Some (maybe all?) Pippin discs are compatible with macsSo there is an option to try it on one of the mac systems.
