      I've been testing some more MESS based systems and I've updated the online Google sheet.

      One of the new systems I've been testing are the older Macintosh Classic games.

      Using the following system from the script generator:

      maclc-flop

      I found several *.dsk games for the old Macintosh computers and so far I've been having some success.

      The MacOS boots up -- then autoloads the game *.dsk file. From there, just follow the onscreen prompts (make sure you have mouse enabled).

      Been having some fun playing Centipede and Star Wars on this system. I have never used an older Macintosh computer and it's been fun finding some games for it.

      I'm still testing the various different Mac systems to see which games require which system. For instance the game Thexder. The *.dsk I found doesn't work with maclc-flop so I need to test the other Macintosh variants to see which one supports the game.

        Great to hear you have some fun with the old mac's.
        Can you post some pictures ?
        That would be nice.

          I compiled mame0233 succesfully in 6 hours on the rpi4 with 8Gb with 32bit buster.
          I increased the swap to rpSwap on 51200 in the mame module-script.
          I booted the RPI4 with a big USB3.0 harddrive :

          • to have enough room for the swap
          • to have no wear and tear on sd cards
          • for speed

            No success for me. I have a rpi4 with 4Gb and I had 9.25 Gb (free space) on my SD Card. I'll wait for the pre-compiled binary option.

                  Perhaps I can upload the mame binary to zippyshare.
                  Interested ?

                      The whole directory /opt/retropie/emulators/mame :
                      mame0233_RPI4_Buster_32bit
                      (File Life: 30 days after no activity.)

                      Edit :
                      No need to download anymore.
                      Retropie has updated the mame binary to 0233.

                        Option (line 11) doesn't work for me. Is it the same for you.

                          Do you use add-mamedev-systems-test6_temp.sh ?

                              I got your last version from your link above : add-mamedev-systems.sh
                              I have used line 10 instead of line 11. Line 11 doesn't work for me when it's time to load systems by letters.

                                Which link ?, be sure you use temp.
                                Did you remove other versions ?

                                No problem for me, I can select line 11.
                                Just installed those.

                                I picked it fresh from github, so it should work.

                                    I created an issue on github for mame.
                                    https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/8274
                                    Hopefully they can fix it.

                                        Retropie added a precompiled MAME 0.233. So now it’s fine from binary

                                          Ok, I will check.
                                          (edit: yes, indeed retropie updated it to 0233 !)

                                          But the temp front-end module-script doesn't depend on mame because of the drc issue.
                                          So this was an other issue I presume.

                                            I tried to run these :

                                            • benesse pocket challenge MAME name POCKCHAL
                                            • Tiger Gizmondo : MAME name GIZMONDO
                                            • Zeebo (Brasil) : MAME name: ZEEBO

                                            No luck so far.
