Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone
-
For Datach, I'm able to run it with those lines:
mame-system-nes_datach-cart = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c nes datach -cart2 %ROM%" mame-system-nes_datach-cart-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -autoframeskip nes datach -cart2 %ROM%"I'm not able to run it with Lr-Mess and softlist for now

nes datach
Perhaps I will try and implement this in the 2v2 version.
I already have done some work on 2v2.
There are many thing I want to change or add in this version.Also adding just lines for specific systems.
Problem, for now, is that the if functions are at the moment coming inside the generated module-scripts.
I want these if functions outside the generated module-scripts. Perhaps I can find a way.
This can be done in a similar way fornes detach, I think.Perhaps
nes detachwill work on lr-mess with my discovered lr-mess direct line.
Maybe I will have some time to test that.We will have to see how it goes.
edit:
The mame lines work for me too.
Tested some experimentallr-mess directlines, not working right now. -
I got it working with lr-mess.
The trick was, it has to find the hash tables !
Otherwise it won't work.I had a look in the the original lr-mess module-script.
Hash tables for lr-mess have to be in/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/hash/*.xml.
It seems lr-mess looks for them in that directory.
I created a link from : /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/hash
Copying will also work, I think.Then I used a direct lr-mess line, which I plan to add in 2v2.
This is the modified one for nes_detach :
lr-mess_nes_datach = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg -v -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so 'nes datach -cart2 %ROM%'" -

To play those games (Datach) you must enter barcodes. If you go in UI Mame menu in Barcode Reader. Go in "new barcode" . Enter the code with your keyboard and after, go down to "Enter Code" and press enter or B button. Your barcode will be activated. -
Ok, that worked in lr-mess.
Seems we have to do a lot of translation with RetroArch if we want to play.
I have already add that in 2v2.
The generated module-script will add it if it's not there.Still, I have to work on the naming of the runcommandlines, though.
I had improved it a bit, but I am not satisfied and I have an issue because if the name in emulators.cfg doesn't begin withlr-the required dev/shm/retroarch.cfg for the libretro-core is not loaded.
So I have to take a second look at that.

Tried a few things, but can't get it running.

i'm working on a gamelist.xml for Datach -

It's better than I thought. Don't be fooled by the quality of my photos. It's better than they appear

Really nice gamelist !
Using the name "nes_datach" is really appropriate, but I am not so sure how to implement this into the script.
I have been trying to extract some info about "nes_datach".
Not sure if I can use this in the script, but with this command I can extract these :/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listfull | grep slot | grep nes nes_cart_slot "NES Cartridge Slot" nes_ntb_slot "NES NTB Cartridge Slot" nes_ade_slot "NES Aladdin Deck Enhancer Cartridge Slot" nes_datach_slot "NES Datach Cartridge Slot" nes_ks_slot "NES Karaoke Studio Expansion Slot"nes_cart_slot -> normal cartridge slot
nes_ks_slot -> not a cartridge but an expansion slot
( not really sure how to add some slots, because we have different types and names ! )With this command we can list all slots of all systems, perhaps we can find something interesting with this :
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listfull | grep slotWe can also use this plain command or using it with adding a system :
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listslotsThis link shows some examples with Amstrad cpc6128 :
https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Driver:AmstradHere they show how to add an extension, but with nes
-expwasn't recognised.Just like the
-listmediaoption, using this :/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listslots nesWill reveal that you can use the
-nes_slotoption. ( I don't know what parameter to add, though )Well I stop for now with the information.
It's nice knowing, a bit, how this structure works. -
@dteam Fucking awesome. Thanks for your sharing images and video scraped for gamelist!
Which theme can I apply for? Carbon?
Could you send me system theme and loading screen for Datach? If possible, the whole theme you are using? I am very impressed by your theme! -

All info is in this thread, you should use this post :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28461/translate-games-on-the-fly/10
Add the lines to your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgIf a libretro-core is used you can press the hotkey "t" and things will be translated on the fly.
Press again and, if all goes well, you can play further.
For security, you could make a saving before translating if that's possible.Edit :
Read from here to use the joystick to translate the picture :

You can use my cygnus_modified theme and copy & paste my es_systems.cfg in your /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation folder
see:

For Carbon, you must add a logo by your own

Will reveal that you can use the -nes_slot option. ( I don't know what parameter to add, though )
Is It the same thing for MSX?

For moonsound I added theyrw801.romfrom openmsx tomsx_moonsound.zipso it loaded the second time.
Option-centronicsseems to work also.I hope you see the picture here. ;-)
