      Other question. With

      Supermodel-mechafatnick-normal = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick;/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick/bin/supermodel -legacy3d -sound-volume=50 -music-volume=60 -no-vsync -no-throttle -no-dsb %ROM%"
      

      Do we lose @mechafatnick game settings in /bin/Config/Games.xml

      One of his command lines was

      Supermodel-45-hz-PPC-Underclock = "XINIT:/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel -game-xml-file=/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config/Games.xml -ppc-frequency=45 -legacy3d -sound-volume=50 -music-volume=60 -no-vsync -no-throttle -no-dsb -res=496,384 %ROM%"

          I use pushd in the line.
          It's something like cd.
          So the emulator starts from that directory and therefor should find the game-xml also without the need of adding it to the line.

                I added those lines... We never know 😂

                mame_autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -c -autoframeskip %BASENAME%"
                mame = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame %BASENAME%"

                    @dteam I didn't even think about the possibility of it actually ending up as an experimenal emulator. I just wanted to run some arcade-perfect VF3 :D

                    I've amended the zips on my guide and also put my amends to the sourcecode up on github for anyone who's interested:
                    https://github.com/Mechafatnick/SuperModelPi

                    can you add your work to the libreto GitHub ? (https://github.com/libretro/supermodel) might waken them up to add an official core in RetroPie ;)

                      @red_trev I think it would all need to be redone anyway. Aside from needing to take standard libretro inputs, i think the act of turning it into a core might be easier said than done. I remember the abortive lr-Yabasanshiro needed access to things that you can't really access via Retroarch.

                        For libretro it’s doable but it’s a lot of work. You will have to chose for the user a preset setting for controllers. For video options you will have to propose the default size but also some choice and a custum option. In option, the user could choose your settings in your proposed command line. The black menu should be in option, etc. Etc.

                        It’s a lot of work and a lot of decision to take by you for the user, but doable with supermodel.

                          Besides, talking about libretro....

                          I would like to have some hotkeys, that we normally use in libretro, into Supermodel.ini for the standalone supermodel emu like this (adding F2 and F4 for saving and loading states) :

                          InputUISaveState = "KEY_F2,JOY1_BUTTON9+JOY1_BUTTON7"
                          InputUILoadState = "KEY_F4,_BUTTON9+JOY1_BUTTON8"
                          

                          and...
                          We decided to remove all video options from the run-line.
                          But the Supermodel.ini lacks these lines.
                          So it would be nice if the Supermodel.ini contains some standard video options , something like this :

                          XResolution=800  ;    <------------the user must define according to the size of his screen. Default value 496
                          YResolution=600 ;   <------------the user must define according to the size of his screen. Default value 384
                          FullScreen=0
                          WideScreen=0
                          Stretch=0
                          WideBackground=0
                          

                          So then the user can alter them to wat they want in there without having to look for these lines elsewhere and paste them in.

                          Can you do that ?
                          Or will this conflict with other stuff ?

                              @folly I can't do it right now but absolutely - anything you can put in the command line you can out in the ini file!

                              Name: XResolution
                              YResolution

                              Argument:       Integer.
                              
                              Description:    Resolution of the display in pixels.  The default is
                                              496x384, the Model 3's native resolution.  Equivalent to
                                              the '-res' command line option.
                              

                              In fact, check out section 13 here to see if there's anything else you think we should add:

                                I will have a look and do some experiments, when I can.

                                  @folly We can trim the list in emulators.cfg as well i think! Excitedly i've just found that the MPEG board emulation works well with an underclocked CPU, so we can have music in Scud race!

                                  So far the only game that performs to the point of being unplayable is Harley Davidson, which is a shame as it feels like an interesting precursor to the open worl do Crazy Taxi.

                                    Let me know what lines can be removed, from the module-script , and I will remove them.

                                      Could it work also for Spikeout. We don't have the soundtrack with Spikeout. We only have the punch sound (action sounds)

                                      For game like Daytona USA 2, is there a way to preset game assigments like LINK ID to SINGLE and for some other games the country? Is It in Games.xml?

                                      @Folly, is It something to cover in the Script or it's on @mechafatnick side.

                                        @dteam I think it's actually coming from the ROM itself. WIthout redumping the simplest thing to do would be:

                                        -Work out all of the games affected
                                        -load the ROMs and set them to single machines
                                        -Have the install script copy the files created into the nvram folder at install.

                                        Then the emulator should find the nvram file to begin with and set it up correctly. Easy!

                                        I think Spikeout is another game that streams from the Mpeg board. This was frustrating as a lot of it is perfectly fine but it has some quite wicked slowdown in places. Definitely worth trying is with the DSB on and the CPU underclocked to a couple of different values

                                          When I used your script. From the menu I had to select "help" (only option) and after that the install option appears with the help option below. Is this normal?
                                          BTW, at the end, it works. It's just a question about the menu itself.

                                            The module-script doesn't have a menu by itself.
                                            The menu is build up by the RetroPie-Setup.

                                            If you have a bad internet connection then you don't see install or update, for that matter.
                                            Could also be something different, will have a look at that.

                                            It tested it a couple of times. (btw I have RP-Setup 4.7.11)
                                            I could not find any problems at the moment.

                                            Would like to see a picture of the problem, can you post one ?
