      @folly Yes, after booting PI in RetroPie carousel I pressed F4, and I obtained the terminal screen with blinking cursor. I typed in "poweroff" and it worked as expected...

        The cli (command line interface ) is the ms-dos of linux.
        Just like ms-dos you can type the command dir, for example.
        The dir command happens to be in there but normally you use ls.
        Just try and you will see the similarity.
        Here you will find some more basics :
        https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/how-use-linux-command-line-basics-cli/
        Try to get a bit familiar with the cli.

        If you are a bit familiar with the cli then you can use these 2 commands.
        The first will install the program curl, which is needed to download my module-script.
        (It's possible that curl is already installed, but we do this just to be certain)
        The second will download my module-script into the correct directory.

        sudo apt install curl -y
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/supplementary/add-mamedev-systems.sh > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/add-mamedev-systems.sh

        Now you can start the carousel (emulationstation) again, just type :

        emulationstation

        Find the RetroPie-Setup in emulationstation and run it.

        First update the setup script.
        (after update it should display same version and a recent commit)
        rp-setup-update.png

        Go to :
        configuration/tools

        Select:
        add-mamedev-systems

        install:
        mame and lr-mess

        (next will install pmd851)
        goto and select :
        All systems > submenu
        All (alfabetical) upon systems names
        P upon systems
        pmd851

        Find the pmd851.7z bios file and place it in :
        /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame
        (you can do this also in the restricted browser part, but you have to fill in the website.org) (you know the well known archive)
        (or do it later, just like you did with other roms or software)

        Find the pmd85_cass.zip and extrat the files in :
        /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pmd851
        (you can do this also in the restricted browser part, but you have to fill in the website.org) (you know the well known archive)
        (and later copy the file from /home/pi/RetroPie/downloads/mame-sl to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pmd851)
        (or do it later, just like you did with other roms or software)

        Exit the setup by selecting cancel and back.

        Now emulationstation should appear again.

        If the rom and cass files aren't in place you will see nothing.
        If the are they should appear in emulationstation.

        Then you you are able to run them.

          @folly Thank you very much for these steps. I was able to finish setup script update. However, I cannot find the "add-mamedev-system" item in "configuration/tools". Would you please help me?

            Goto the cli and do the next command :
            (here we check if the file is present and what sha1 checksum it has to confirm it's the correct file)

            sha1sum RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/add-mamedev-systems.sh

            It should output this :
            e2a33576c0a548692b10d3f636f9c85594841f04 RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/add-mamedev-systems.sh

              @folly Thanks. I have checked it - and there is no such a file on my PI. I am attaching the list of all files in that folder...checking_file.jpg

                Be sure your have an internet connection try to do the curl command again.
                Then check again if the file exists.

                You can also download the whole package here https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share
                (click on code and you can download it)
                Then just extract it and search the file and copy it to the correct path, like you would when copying roms to your PI.

                    Nice to hear it working !
                    Hope many more games will work.
                    Let us know.

                        @folly There is very useful information about games/programs for PMD-85 at https://pmd85.borik.net/wiki/Download . For example, I want to play "ZABY" game (Frogger) - the game information is in "Other" section on the web page. I am attaching image. I tried to load it with MGLD 01, but it appeared as "09 ZABY", so I tried itagain with MGLD 09, because "09" is the number which was used for storing this game on the tape. After loading, nothing happens - this game is not "autorun". I had to write command JUMP 1500 to run it, because this address "1500" is specified in column "spustenie" which means "to run" in English... frogger.jpg frogger2.jpg

                          Good info ;-)

                          I will have a look.

                          The hash file says :
                          <software name="zaby" supported="partial"><!-- loads but does nothing -->

                          Are you able to play ?
                          I can get the same screen as you do but I can't play.

                          BTW. I now see that the JUMP commands are also in the hash file.

                            I have a working boulderdash from "pmd85emu_games_vbg".

                              @Folly OLD THREAD REVIVE!

                              I'm trying to get this system running, but I'm getting nowhere.

                              I installed it with your script as usual and the games show up in EmulationStation.

                              I've got PMD851.ZIP in the BIOS folder, containing PMD85-1.BAS and PMD85-1.BIN.

                              I've got the gamelist game files in the ROMS folder and I'm trying to run one that works according to this thread - Manic Miner.

                              But I keep getting dumped straight back to EmulationStation with this log:

                                Works here with mame and lr-mess, no problem at least for the regular basename and -cass runcommands I used.

                                Something doesn't add up.
                                You have mess_libretro.so whereas mine uses mamemess_libretro.so
                                Do you use a very old lr-mess binary and or script ?

                                The runcommand lr-mess-pmd851-cass you used is the same as I used except that yours has mess_libretro.so in it.

                                Does standalone mame work ?

                                  @Folly I haven't updated MESS (or lr-mame) since it became "mamemess", because I can't face editing literally about 100 different EMULATORS.CFG files. I would very much like to throw whoever made that change down a well :(

                                  So after I installed the PMD85 via your (old) script, I had to change all the mentions of "mamemess" back to "mess" or it crashed much worse. At least now it TRIES to run, and I don't see why it's failing. All the other systems I installed with your script (all using "mess" rather than "mamemess") still work fine.

                                    It shouldn't be that hard to change as I once made a command that will do that in seconds.
                                    However be prepared that somehow your OS will soon be out of date too for the very latest mame and probably lr-mess.
                                    Perhaps the time will come soon to make a whole new image.

                                    So after I installed the PMD85 via your (old) script, I had to change all the mentions of "mamemess" back to "mess" or it crashed much worse.

                                    Indeed it will crash as it can't find the emulator core under that name.

                                    At least now it TRIES to run, and I don't see why it's failing. All the other systems I installed with your script (all using "mess" rather than "mamemess") still work fine.

                                    Here is the deal :
                                    Always try with standalone mame first.
                                    If that works you know your roms are correct and you can move to lr-mess.
                                    So first let me know if standalone mame works or not.

                                      But why wouldn't it, as it's still there from before, running all the other emulators I installed from your script in the same way?

                                        You told me that it crashed worse when the name mamemess_libretro.so is in the runcommand.
                                        So my reaction was :
                                        Indeed it will crash as it can't find the emulator core under that name as yours is mess_libretro.so.

                                          @Folly But I edited the EMULATORS.CFG to tell it to look for mess_libretro.so (which is there, running the other systems) rather than mamemess_libretro.so (which isn't there, because I've never installed it).

                                            I understand.

                                            And, did standalone mame run ?
                                            What version lr-mess do you use ?
