@Folly nice i will do that!
i want to mention the Sinden guys have a hack version of lr-mame
the install is called " lr-mame-StormedBubbles"
they also have a few hack versions of other mame and mess
the install plays 3 "plug and play" light gun games

Mission: Paintball Powered Up (pballpup) - Perfect accuracy correction. Needs "Boot from CLI" enabled in core options.
Star Wars: Clone Trooper Blaster Game (swclone) - Perfect accuracy correction. Needs "Boot from CLI" enabled in core options.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant & Monster Mayhem (tmntmutm) - Perfect accuracy correction

of course this version of mame launches more than 3 games
but figured I'd mention it since these are plug and plays and maybe it could open more doors?

Do you want them to be added to category all_in1 ?
I think a non-arcade lightgun category is more appropriate, don't you think ? (is not yet there but can be created in add-systems-mamedev)
We can already sort on lightgun in the database and there are probably more similar games.
Another problem is that automating a category becomes more difficult because it becomes a compilation of quite some different stuff.
That means obviously more manual editing a category.
This is probably not the route to take.

What do you both think @Retrodade @DTEAM ?

Retrodade

@Folly yeah, I know what you mean.
they put them in its own category of "plug n play"
they are like jakks I guess? I have mine in arcade since its not LCD and I think 1 or 2 were tiger, I forget the other, thought it said Jakks, but no title load screen on one I believe, but the net search just shown a gun to plug into the TV
I'm just passing the info since they are plug n plays
but where they belong? that's a good question.
put them where you feel is best

I don't own a sinden, but their custom versions of Mame have great accuracy for light guns

@Folly

Hi Folly, are you able to run tsimquest.zip or 7z (Tiger - Castlevania Simon's Quest). I'm not able for now !

You can update the binary, it's now 250.
The game works.

@Retrodade
Hi , I took a look and it's fine. They are "plug n play" and they were commercialized. @Folly, I think we could add them to "all in one", what do you think?

Folly

@DTEAM

Yes, that's ok.

Retrodade

@DTEAM

Perfect.

@DTEAM
nice I been working on scrapes for myself on odd systems, felt i could get caught up on handhelds. I made these but no video (something at least) anyways you probably have everything all done but ill share mine in case the two I had no luck in finding here are my handheld scrapes I managed to do (maybe this can help )

top 2 in your list is eluding me

DTEAM

@Retrodade
If you want to participate to our effort to create gamelist and "scrapes", go here . It's the the thread associate to our project for that. You'll find what we already done and our folder structure here.

Retrodade

@DTEAM thanks! will take a look
I checked quick I did a few systems running mame/mess you don't have scrapes for, like Gameking and Sord M5 and a few others that I made myself...not sure if my style would interest everyone but, I'd be glad to share if there is an interest
if not that's ok too

I will check out your list deeper thanks

Retrodade

@DTEAM I stumbled across these that worked

mc_hh210.zip
mc_105te.zip
mc_110cb.zip
mc_sp69.zip

3 worked in mame-autoskip , 1 was in mess
seemed like multi plug n plays and a handheld

not sure if this is useful info, or maybe u have them included already?
anyways I didn't see them in your list so figured I'd mention.

DTEAM

@Retrodade
Most are already in the list above (second post)

For All in one:
pballpup
swclone
tmntmutm

Updated gamelist.xml for these three (video, marquee, image).

Retrodade

@DTEAM
nice !
With the 5 new Jakks, want me to tackle the scrape on those? let me know
if not... ok too, but I think I can handle the 5

@Retrodade said in Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME:

With the 5 new Jakks,

Have you the names of those roms, Did you test them?

Retrodade

@DTEAM well, now you got me thinking, lol you probably have them then but mine worked and I had no scrapes from them, so I assume sine i grabbed your gamelist and they aren't on that gamelist.
I decided to make these scrapes.. you can get the zip name from the game list text to add to a gamelist. here is the added text and the scrapes including video - let me know if these are "new working"
