Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone
-
I did a huge update.
You can test some new stuff ;-)Front-end 2v4 improved
- cleaned up a bit
(removed tho old forum selection list, now there is a new one)
(removed some functions and added some functions) - re-ordered the menu
(hopefully, in time, it will evolve into a better and simpler structure) - add experimental help lines
(perhaps not a definitive solution !) - add saving and removing database file locally (for offline usage)
(file is save in or deleted from : /opt/retropie/emulators/mame) - add more sorted lists (remove test lines)
- add SEARCH form, to create a sorted list on the fly
(still an issue in the dialog form : "cancel" button doesn't work) - add download option with form
(only available with the correct input !)
(still an issue in the dialog form : "cancel" button doen't work)
- cleaned up a bit

@folly
When I updated Retropie, something happened with my Retropie Setup. I can't run Retropie Setup anymore. I suspect the Valerino script. Any idea. Maybe it's helpers.sh. -
Don't know.
You can try and rename the directory and git clone the repository again.
That way you have the whole directory fresh and a backup of the old directory.Then try if it works ! (edit)
Later you can copy the module-scripts, you had, back in.
Is it a solution ?

I just did my trick here, using :
Renaming the old RetroPie-Setup to RetroPie-Setup.old
cloning :
cd git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.gitrunning (4.7.19) :
cd RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_setup.shLooks fine here, so I suspect it's something else.
If you have it running I recommend you add our -ext script from now on in :
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup.ok/ext/RetroPie-Share/scriptmodules/supplementary/add-mamedev-systems-2v4-ext.shThis places all generated module-scripts in :
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup.ok/ext/RetroPie-Share/scriptmodules/libretrocoresAnd in the RetroPie-Setup they will be arranged on external repository name .

@folly said in Development of module-script generator for lr-mess and mame standalone:
cd RetroPie-Setup
It's do this:
pi@retropie:~ $ cd RetroPie-Setup pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo ./retropie_setup.sh sudo: ./retropie_setup.sh: command not foundor this
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/packages.sh: line 903: source: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/add-mamedev-systems-2v4.sh: cannot execute binary file Module is missing valid rp_module_id Module is missing valid rp_module_desc -
remove our script
add-mamedev-systems-2v4.shand try to run the setup again without it.
You should use this :sudo ./retropie_setup.shCould you check the permission of the files again for me ? :
I have :pi@raspberrypi:~/RetroPie-Setup $ ls -l total 76 -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 146 Oct 28 21:16 AUTHORS -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 417 Oct 28 21:16 CONTRIBUTING.md -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 635 Oct 28 21:16 COPYRIGHT.md -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 32265 Oct 28 21:16 LICENSE.md -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 2033 Oct 28 21:16 README.md drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Oct 28 21:16 ext drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Oct 28 21:53 logs -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 6374 Oct 28 21:16 platforms.cfg -rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 2314 Oct 28 21:16 retropie_packages.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 520 Oct 28 21:16 retropie_setup.sh drwxr-xr-x 7 pi pi 4096 Oct 28 21:16 scriptmodules -
Do you have these permissions for the file ? :
ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 520 Oct 28 21:16 retropie_setup.shThen it's not executable, and you will get :
pi@raspberrypi:~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo ./retropie_setup.sh sudo: ./retropie_setup.sh: command not found -
@folly
The problems seems to be your script. I removed it and now it's fine. -
That sounds bad.
I don't have any problems over here.
I will pull it from github to see if I get any problems.I assume it was the latest.
edit:
I installed everything fresh on my x86 laptop too.
I found some compatibility problems for the sorted lists, so I will look at that.
But no problems in crashing or recognising whatsoever.Did you try to edit the script and perhaps made a mistake in doing so ?
Can you open the script into a text editor to check if it's a good file ? -
I don't expect it, but be sure you don't saving it as a html file :
(right-click on raw and download should download the correct file) -
F Folly referenced this topic on
-
Any luck yet ;-)
-
No, I followed the instruction from Post #1 and put add-mamedev-systems-2v4.sh
here
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementaryI did that a lot of times. I don't understand why it doesn't work now.
I'm gonna re-downloaded your file
-
Yes indeed you did that a lot of times, so I was confident you had a correct file.
Not really sure either what the problem is but I am quite confident that the script should work.
Is your sd card still ok ?
No problems at boot ?
Do the older scripts that you tested earlier still work ?How old is your retropie-image, is it based upon buster ?
Perhaps an idea to update.Btw. I read that 0237 is out now.

@folly
It works !! I solved the problem . I don't know why, but i had problems to transfer my file. Now It's fine. The problem was on my side. It's not a general issue -
Aha you found the problem, great to hear it's working again.
-
@folly Hiya. Doing good here with the script. I've got all my handhelds working great and moved into the TRS-80 CoCo.
Ran into a question there.. I don't see a CoCo disk/flop1 option to add in to my list.
How do I use .dsk images with this system. I'd rahter not have both the TRS-80 and the Coco, just one works for me as I already have the Dragon32 running.
Thanks!
-
The system coco has FDC support (floppy drive controller) as an
external slot, reading from the mame output.So by default it will not support a floppy drive controller out of the box and so my script will not detect support for floppy-drive media.
No detection means that no module-script for that media is created and installed.To be able to do that a manual line should be created to be able to add FDC support.
Looking at the mame output for coco2 or coco3, they will have FDC support OOB.
Don't know for sure, but perhaps the easiest way is to install one of these :
Driver coco2 (Color Computer 2): *computer*non-arcade Driver coco2b (Color Computer 2B): *computer*non-arcade Driver coco2bh (Color Computer 2B (HD6309)): *computer*non-arcade Driver coco2h (Color Computer 2 (HD6309)): *computer*non-arcade Driver coco3 (Color Computer 3 (NTSC)): *computer*non-arcade Driver coco3dw1 (Color Computer 3 (NTSC; HDB-DOS)): *computer*non-arcade Driver coco3h (Color Computer 3 (NTSC; HD6309)): *computer*non-arcade Driver coco3p (Color Computer 3 (PAL)): *computer*non-arcade Driver cocoe (Color Computer (Extended BASIC 1.0)): *computer*non-arcade Driver cocoeh (Color Computer (Extended BASIC 1.0; HD6309)): *computer*non-arcade -
@folly I put those into \BIOS\mame as well as \roms\coco
what do I pick as far as an eumlator? the lr-mame-basename, lr-mess-cmd? or any other?
-
on top of this, a few games appear to be corrupt roms and do not work properly under MESS.
a lot of artifacting and lines all over stuff. Worse is Dungeons of Daggoorath, the only reason really for me to even have the TRS-80.
I was hoping to get Flight Simulator II working as well... but that's a .dsk image.
Controls for left, right, up and down not working either. Mapping is there, but doesn't look like the system is recognizing it.
