Folly

Oops a mistake ;-), fixet it ! (updated)
This is because I also did tests with that line on apple2gsr1 just picked the wrong one.

I found this today
MESS and MAME: The Guide

I will read some, perhaps some interesting stuff to find.

Strange, those lines work with .bin and not .zip

mame-system-apfm1000-cart-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apfm1000 -v -c -autoframeskip -ui_active apfm1000  -cart %ROM%"
mame-system-apfm1000-cart = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apfm1000 -v -c -ui_active apfm1000 -cart %ROM%"

@dteam

I will try here in ES.
But I think both work on my side.

Edit:
.zip works for me.

Now it works for me with .zip. I deleted everything and restart from scratch and now it works

Is possible play sega arcade game in follow link with lr-mess?

@folly I've got everything loaded that's a cart.

All 13 games start and run using "lr-mess-systemapfm100-cart" and a BIOS file that has
apf_4000.rom
basic_80.rom
basic_68.rom

Only issue I had was Sapce Detroyers says "rocket Patrol" as the title and the graphics are a mess.

Other than that, everything worked as .zip files

nevermind... I see what you wrote up there about this game needing extra ram.

I've got everything working now. Easy install as well. My controller works, but does not fire. I'll keep playing with this and see where it gets me. Like you said, it's a bit strange that Space Destroyers requires a seperate path that is nothing like the rest. I hope that can be changed to the same as everything else.

@isidoro80
If I remember correctly Sega Model 2 needs many resources from the host computer.
I doubt it will work on the pi.

DTEAM

@isidoro80
With MAME, maybe yes with a X86 build but not for Lr-MESS. Lr-Mess only covers non-arcade games

@dteam can you test if it works with mame current version in raspberry?

Folly

@isidoro80

More information :
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Sega_Model_2

Not sure which system name it is using, but this documentation states that using mame is a bad choice.

DTEAM

@isidoro80
Already tested. It doesn't work

For SEGA arcade "3D":

Model3 see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26909/sega-model-3-segamodel3
SEGA System 32 : lr-fbneo
NAOMI and Atomiswave : lr-flycast

According the table, only Motor Raid and Rail Chase 2 seems to work with MAME

You can use the game-specific lines to create per game settings for the keyboard or joystick. We could even share them if we want.

Like you said, it's a bit strange that Space Destroyers requires a seperate path that is nothing like the rest. I hope that can be changed to the same as everything else.

If you know how it works then it's not so strange.
Basically the default system we install doesn't have the added ram and it just loads the roms/media directly without using the hash-table database..
Extra cartridge information is in the hash-table database and not used in the above situation.
With the test line it will use the hash table because the loading process is based upon hash-table database loading the information against the software filename.
Hope you understand this explanation.

@dteam in the description of the test mame 0.192 was used, perhaps with the latest version it works

I have no idea what you're talking about... lol.. but it really sounds good!

What is the hash table? I've got it running like you said and I'll work with it fine. If you wouldn't mind posting your per game config, that would be helpful I'm sure.

Thanks!

@isidoro80

Well.. no one can really tell you where to go for roms... you will/can banned for even asking, it's one of the rules... please adhere to it. This is the 2nd time you asked.... but... I can say this.

Archives hold a lot of things you might want. Using a mame version like .236 and searching for an archive will probably get you there. Keep in mind, a lot of the games are tied in to a massive list.

You can also search for each system by the name of the system and look for roms. Best I can do without getting myself into trouble. I really like this forum and I want to stay on it. LOL.
