      I looks like it can't find the lr-mess core.
      You probably use an old lr-mess that is still called mess_libretro.so.
      The name of the new version of lr-mess has been changed to mamemess_libretro.so.
      So you should update your lr-mess and perhaps you even need to update your RetroPie-Setup to the latest version.

      Check from this post.

        Oh god. Does this mean the next time I update lr-mame it's going to break every single system I installed using your wonderful script? Dozens and dozens of them? Jesus, what a nightmare :(

        For the meantime I tried editing the lines in EMULATORS.CFG back from mamemess_libretro to mess_libretro.so, but now it fails to recognise the games, even though I'm using the proper MAME softlist name.

          @JimmyFromTheBay said in Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone:

          Does this mean the next time I update LR-MESS it's going to break

          Technically, yes.
          For starters, I didn't change the name but we have to deal with it and it probably won't change for a very long time now !
          That is why I added the script in the later post so all the lines can be converted easily.

          I checked the similarity of the executing line with my runcommand.log and the are identical.
          So you are using the -cdrm loader that's good.

          In this case it doesn't really matter what the name of the .chd is in hotmario.zip. Looks like other names will work too.

          I assume your custom-core-options.cfg has soflist on disabled and that it's loaded from retroarch.add.
          So that should be good too.

          Try extracting hotmario.zip try running hotel mario (1994)(philips)(eu).chd

          Your RetroArch is quite old now.
          I remember cdimono1 had issues in lr-mess around that time.
          Also the later versions need more bios files in cdimono.zip not that it is complaining about that.
          But for some reason, i think it might have some impact.

          What lr-mess version are you using ?

            It has softlist disabled, yes. No idea what retroarch.add is.

            Try extracting hotmario.zip try running hotel mario (1994)(philips)(eu).chd

            That's what I tried first, because it used to run fine with lr-mess-cdi (which is something I installed via another route before your script existed, I can no longer remember how).

            But as of yesterday it (and all my other CDI games) crashed, which is why I installed the alt version from your script. Running the unzipped version has the same result.

            What lr-mess version are you using ?

            lrmame.jpg

            Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.

              @bbilford83 said in Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone:

              On a totally unrelated note, I'm wondering if anyone has installed and played the Amstrad GX4000 and noticed that the games don't take up the full real estate of the screen - like I get black bars above, below, left, and right. Before I mess around with scaling to try to fix it, is there some obvious thing I'm missing that would make it display correctly?

              Short answer: no. The only thing you can do is use custom video settings for each game, because the Amstrad had loads of different video modes with different resolutions.

              These are my default settings that give a decent display area for most games without making the Retroarch menus totally unusable:

              aspect_ratio_index = "23"

custom_viewport_x = "188"
custom_viewport_y = "-165"
custom_viewport_width = "1536"
custom_viewport_height = "1360"

              but you'll need to adjust those for a lot of other games.

                I found this in your logs.

                [INFO] [Overrides] core-specific overrides found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/MAME/MAME.cfg

                I probably loads wrong core-specific overrides.
                Try renaming it, so retroarch will not see it.
                Let me know if it works.

                    Does this mean the next time I update LR-MESS it's going to break

                    I'm really confused. I thought MAME and MESS were all one app now?

                      No, it's still separated, at least for RetroPie, in :
                      lr-mame (arcade only) (mame_libretro.so)
                      lr-mess (non-arcade only) (mamemess_libretro.so)

                        That's quite weird, because I have no such path as /home/pi/.config/

                        It's a hidden directory, linked to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config

                        , and the MAME.CFG file at /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config/MAME/ has no reference to the CD-i in it :o

                        You probably used Valerino's fork once so your hidden directory is probably linked to :
                        /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config

                        The MAME.cfg overides other configs that need to be loaded by default.
                        I think that your MAME.cfg overrides important setting of the other configs that need to be loaded in order to get it working correctly.
                        Not sure why you have it, I don't have it.

                        Have you tried renaming it temporarily to test if it works when you do so ?

                        In the meantime I will check your log.

                        edit:
                        I can't find suspicious things in your log but I keep finding it strange.

                          If the renaming doesn't help then we are on a dead end.

                          Btw. did same_cdi work ?
                          Basically it's lr-mess but with only the cdimono1 driver and some patches.
                          So the speed of same_cdi will be somewhat the same as lr-mess.

                            @Folly lr-same_cdi works, but runs much worse than MESS, slow with very distorted sound. Setting the overclock helps, but only partially.

                            Weirdly, I've just got Valerino's version (yes, it was him, thanks :D) working again by pasting an old backup line into EMULATORS.CFG. The only problem with it is the annoying LCD screen at the top. Do you know what the commandline option to disable it is? I can't find anything in either the Retroarch or MESS options menus.

                                  Too bad, we tried.
                                  I really have no idea.

                                        On a totally unrelated note, I'm wondering if anyone has installed and played the Amstrad GX4000 and noticed that the games don't take up the full real estate of the screen - like I get black bars above, below, left, and right. Before I mess around with scaling to try to fix it, is there some obvious thing I'm missing that would make it display correctly?

                                        Short answer: no. The only thing you can do is use custom video settings for each game, because the Amstrad had loads of different video modes with different resolutions.

                                        These are my default settings that give a decent display area for most games without making the Retroarch menus totally unusable:

                                        aspect_ratio_index = "23"

custom_viewport_x = "188"
custom_viewport_y = "-165"
custom_viewport_width = "1536"
custom_viewport_height = "1360"

                                        but you'll need to adjust those for a lot of other games.

                                        Thanks for this. I had noticed that the amount of blank space does seem to vary game-by-game, I didn't know that was a thing on any gaming system!

                                          @Folly BTW is there an option to enable the Digital Video Cartridge? About 50% of games seem to need it.

                                            No.
                                            As far as I know the developers of lr-same_cdi had help from the guy who made the first Philips CDI emulator for windows which did support DVC.
                                            So hopefully he will help in the future in the development of that.
