Sega model 3 #segamodel3

Still not sure what these settings really do.
In the test menu I did not seem to see any difference.

I will try again soon.

@folly
It is essentially the same as what I have already discussed above.

I'll play with sensitivity. I'm sure my problem is with this parameter like It was with N64 and CDi.

Folly

@dteam

Ok, understood.

@folly
I will try after the endless download of MAME 0.233 😂

Sorry, i was distracted by the pinball bartop i've been setting up (it makes mame configuration look easy! :D )

The automated resolution is a good idea in theory, but my only worry is that our hardware can't really handle going far beyond the Model 3's native res.

I worry that the average user is going to think they can't run it above something like 640 x 480 wheh in reality you can have it look ok and run ok by rendering low and stretching.

If you don't set a resolution when booting the emulator, it will use the regular resolution. But if you do it will take that resolution.

I would recommend to test it first.
If doesn't work we can always revert it back to the original 3 lines.

Is daytona 2 playable now? If so I will try the model 3 emulator on my pi. But that it runs at all is still awesome.

Folly

@phialek

I just tested Daytona2 for you.
I played a few minutes, it should work !

phialek

@folly
Thats awesome!

Folly

@phialek

Try my module-script, let me know how it goes.

phialek

@folly

Is the file "supermodel-mechafatnick.sh" all i need to get it to install? I have tried the instructions on mechafatnicks site, but couldn't get it to work. I just read that it needs a lib2 dev upgrade, that and a typo where the folder in the roms was wrong spelled didn't let me go further.

I think i will delete everything i have done so far and just use your script "supermodel-mechafatnick.sh"

Folly

@phialek

The "supermodel-mechafatnick.sh" is all you need and should be fine.

phialek

@folly

it didnt start

here is the log:

@phialek

Hi,
I removed my earlier post.

Indeed, I discovered that the latest version seems to have an issue with the auto-resolution when running the normal way.
I have to investigate why it isn't working the way it should.

Can you de-install the latest version and then install this older version ? :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/bcc1bfb9ef00ded0b060f70df06d10c6660f07f1/00-scriptmodules-00/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick.sh

It will produce 3 lines in emulators.cfg with different resolution.

I hope this will work for you.

phialek

@folly

thank you, now i could choose a resolution, howeever it didnt run the game. here is the log:

@phialek

I can't directly see what wrong.
It looks like the same log from earlier.
I would expect to see some -res parts for the resolution but I don't see that.

Do you use a pi4 ?
Is the binary of supermodel in this directory : /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick ?

mechafatnick

@folly @phialek

If the binary is there, could it be a permission issue? is it worth running:

chmod -R 755 /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick

just to be on the safe side?

Folly

@mechafatnick

Good suggesting.

I am confident it should run one way or another.

@phialek

After you did the permission part.
Can you then check if you can run the binary manually ?

cd  /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick
./supermodel

You should then get the help/usage output of the emulator and then we know the binary is working.

phialek

thanks for all the help

the bin is not here:
/opt/retropie/emulators/

how do i get it there? i thought the script would do it on its own.

and yes im using a pi4

phialek

its in the supplementary folder. i will change its location now.

after changing the location daytona 2 is running. but super slow about 20% of original speed. is there a way to make it faster? the audio works great though.
