Qix (lr-2003-Plus) .78 roms (unmerged)
-
I should also point out that both Qix and Defender run fine with fb_neo as the emulator, so it seems to me it's related to lr-mame-2003-plus.

@agrajag https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first shows how to format posts or upload logs.
your config is non-default and has lots of customized settings. the retropie default is much smaller and has specific retropie defaults. there's so much different in your config i don't know where to begin.
not least
savefile_directory = "~/RetroPie/saves"if you're not aware of why it's set up this way, i would update retroarch via retropie_setup package manager, and replace your config with the default copy it creates that is named retroarch.cfg.rp-dist
fyi the reason it gets like this is typically because you delete the /all/retroarch.cfg file and let retroarch populate its own defaults. you never want this to happen - retropie's defaults are carefully curated and fundamental for system function.
the good news is you should get a nice performance boost, as a lot of sub-optimal settings are there. however any saves you've made with this bad config will need to be moved out of that location and put into the relevant /roms/<system/ path
I should also point out that both Qix and Defender run fine with fb_neo as the emulator, so it seems to me it's related to lr-mame-2003-plus.
different emulators have different dependencies on the save location. it looks like mame2003-plus has dependencies on this location - i think it uses it for saved eeprom states so that certain games load correctly.

@dankcushions Anything is possible, but I never deleted the .cfg intentionally.
I also have no saves in that folder as there is no folder there at all so there's nothing to lose. I just hope this process doesn't crush everything else that's working. <grin>

@dankcushions Thanks. I just updated Retroarch (while out of ES in case that mattered) and then rebooted, went into /configs/all/ and found retroearch.cfg.rp-dist and copied it over to be my new retroarch.cfg. I then rebooted and verified that my .cfg was fully intact (as in new and clean). It was entirely different and starts off like this:
## Skeleton config file for RetroArchI then launched QIX and it failed to run. However the verbose log this time shows NO mention of the word "Failed". It just didn't run (nor did Defender again, but everything else I checked runs):

@agrajag please use pastebin for these large configs, as per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
i can't diagnose your issue further. according to https://buildbot.libretro.com/compatibility_lists/cores/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus.html qix works. @mahoneyt944 works on the core and may be able to assist.

@dankcushions said in Qix (lr-2003-Plus) .78 roms (unmerged):

Thanks for taking me this far. Learned a lot and that's always a good thing. Will look at pastebin as well.
I'm sure we'll figure it out even if I have to resort to a clean wipe.

Just giving an update. After much checking and prodding and re-installing Retroarch and a fresh retroarch.cfg, QIX and DEFENDER still are not loading, but now they're both giving the same verbose output.
No "Failed" messages, but they both throw up a confusing error that has a checkered past on the forums:
[libretro ERROR] cpunum_get_localtime() called for invalid cpu num!The last line is just the call to log the verbose output.
I'd be curious to try one thing I saw in the thread about the above error and that's if I can load these roms from ES, but I'm not a linux guy and have no idea how to do that, nor if it would really tell us much. I do know they run from FBN, but that's not much of a help.
I did try loading the two other defender roms and the three other qix roms and all of them failed the same way.
I then also loaded both roms on my PiBoy DMG and, of course, they worked fine. I'm lost.
About the only thing left I can think of is some sort of wipe, but I'd hate to lose all the work I've put in. I suspect I could save out the gamelists, media and ROM folders and then do a complete re-install. Ugh.

@agrajag qix works perfectly fine. Somehow your configs were messed up and you're getting write issues. You might be better off on a fresh image.
-
qix and defender use NV ram save files which probably are not saving correctly with your config settings. If it's correct in the main Retroarch config then you're probably overwriting it with a core or game level cfg. I'm guessing this happened when you tried to enable autoloading save states/ files you mentioned in your other post.
Post a new log of qix.

@mahoneyt944 Sounds like a solid theory. I checked something quick. Google suggests Food Fight, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Road Runner all use NVRAM, and those I also have loaded. I tried each and Food Fight also failed to load. However, the other two both loaded with no issues. If they do NVRAM the same way then it's not that.
The log's here:
Filezilla reports the /retropie/saves/ and /retropie/states folder with permissions of drwr-xr-x just like every other folder.
The only issue I see is the libretto cpu num error. Do you get that? It's the same for Food Fight and Defender. If it is permissions then I should be able to create those somewhere.

@mahoneyt944 Grrr. Discussion of this entry includes this:
https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/issues/721
In it the poster mentions that another user sent him a fix for it, but doesn't mention where, how, etc....
It does mention @grant2258 as the one that provided the fix and I hoped we'd be able to get his attention here, but apparently he was banned. Blocked at every turn.

@agrajag it’s still using the wrong save path... can you please upload
/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg (again)
and check to see if there’s a qiz.zip.cfg if the arcade roms path. something is clearly wrong here. -
Here's the /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg (which is huge like the other one):
The /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg is still mainly the skeleton file except for the last few lines (hmm, maybe make the first one match):
Regarding .cfg's in the /home/pie/RetroPie/arcade path, Not a one. Currently I have 118 roms in there and they're all as expected. The only qix file is qix.zip. Same for defender and foodf.

@agrajag defender and food fight preload nv files at launch. Indiana jones saves on exit. So that's the difference.
Probably this file, the default is not huge.
/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg -
@mahoneyt944 said in Qix (lr-2003-Plus) .78 roms (unmerged):

Question: IF it's permissions, wouldn't Indy (and maybe Road Runner) still not be able to write those files and that would show up (or not show up) somewhere? Wondering if that could be a test for this.

my same comments before apply. you need to reinstall the emulator, and replace it with the /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist
it will be an even smaller file. it shouldn't match the /all/retroarch.cfg file
forget the permissions of this bogus directory - fixing your configs will fix this issue.

@dankcushions Reinstall what exactly this time? (sorry, just want to be clear on what step exactly to take next.)
-
@agrajag update lr-mame2003-plus so it generates retroarch.cfg.rp-dist in your
/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/directory, and use that to replace the messed up retroarch.cfg in the same place. -
@dankcushions Process completed.
I can report that Qix, Defender and Food Fight all now run flawlessly (well, at least as flawlessly as expected)!
Thank you guys for all the assistance. I have NO idea what step created those huge .cfg files. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.
I also, just after fixing this, noticed that I still had some symlinks for rom paths and a couple MAME cores (mame, lr-mame, lr-mame-2016) that didn't need to be there so I uninstalled the latter and deleted the symlinks which fixed ANOTHER issue which was that my ES boot time would hang at "Configuration" for upwards of 80 seconds. I'm now rebooting almost instantly, so double-win.
