Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone
-
I compare your classich drivers list from your first post vs my list and monkeygk and nstarfox are not in your list. Do you know if new roms are missing in our lists?
I will try to generate new mp4s with the background (for some handheld system) when I have time
-
My first post list isn't updated yet.
(I will probably update it when I have build up the new dorted list for mame 251)
Though I can see that nstarfox is already in my classich.ini .Is monkeygk an old driver ?
I don't see it in 250 and 251. -

I don't see it in 250 and 251.it's a clone of GNW_MMOUSE in Game and Watch from MAME 0.238. Not listed anymore. I'm gonna delete it.
-
Everything is updated to mame0251.
I also did the driver links in post 1.Edit :
Damn, I made a mistake ;-(
I used the wrong in files !
I have to rebuild the database again. -
I hope everything is ok now.
For those who did already an update to mame0251, please update again, within the script, to update to the latest database.

@Folly Can you provide me THE link again to re-dl the latest archimedes and gsplus versions that work with mame?

The rompacks, you talk about, should be op to date and you should already have them.
Check this out, and you will see what is updated or not :

I tested the latest version of your script and it works like a charm!

Thanks,
I tried to improve the filter on the deco_cassette system because I wanted to filter out the bios file.
Sadly the "not" filter doesn't work properly.
Assuming it has something to do with using it on the array which gives a different output than normal.Not really a big problem so I leave it as it is.
I will add the bios name in the gamelist as :
ZZZ(notgame):BIOS
This will place the file down in the list, just as other, not game detected, files. -

I never heard about that one, i'll try it this week! Is it arcade games on cassette?
-
I saw a post about it on the mamedev forum, just recently.
This is the wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DECO_Cassette_SystemI added it in version 0251.01

@Folly
Those games are already in my Arcade folder. They also run well with lr-mame 2016. The 2 minutes counter is a pain in the ass . -
Indeed, they are not new but now they are now categorised.
There are a few new multigame ones that will work without loading time :
decodark
decomultI think most slow loadable games are in there.

I agree, it reminds me "Playchoice 10". I will not add the gamelist on the drive because we can scrape that system with Skraper (ScreenScraper) or other .

Hi @Folly, quick update on the import into retroscraper of lr-mess roms. I've imported all the roms from 'standard' systems (such as c64, msx, etc..) and all roms for about 200 lesser know systems (still 150 to go). In total, I've added around 300k roms (totaling over a million now) and created around 30k new software references.
Everything should be available by tomorrow morning after the API refresh.
Once the whole thing is done, I'll start (if you guys are ok with it) importing the images from your gamelists.
If everything goes ok, the gamelists that you have pregenerated could be done on the fly with retroscraper.
Bye!
-
That's great news ;-)
Really curious. -
I have implemented the retroscraper option into my script.
I solved all problems I faced.
Hopefully there are no issues.
There is some room for improvements in the future like :- scraping recursively
- scraping all folders in one go
- perhaps use the retroscraper-rpie when someone has installed it
Overall I am quite happy with it.
Please test and let my know if you like it and if it works for you.

@Folly Ohm some info, if you want to add paremeters to retroscraper:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zayamatias/retroscraper-remote/main/retroscraper.py |python3 - --PARAM
Where param is any of these:
-h, --help show this help message and exit --systemsfile SYSTEMSFILE location of the es_systems.cfg file) --nobackup Do not backup gamelist.xml file --relativepaths Use relative paths instead of full paths --recursive Search subdirctories in systems paths --mediadir MEDIADIR Single media dir wwhere all media is going to be stored, strat with '/' for absolute path (this will append the system name autoamtically), otherwise relative to system path --keepdata Keep favorites and play count of your games --preferbox Prefer boxes instead of screenshots --novideodown Do not download videos --nodb Do not use a local DB to store file hashes (might impact performance nagatively) --language LANGUAGE Select language for descriptions --google Use google translate if description not found in your language --country Add country decorator from filename [Sonic (es)] --disk Add disk decorator from filename [Sonic (disk 1/2)] --version Add version decorator from filename [Sonic V1.10] --hack Add hack decorator from filename [Sonic (madhedgehog hack)] --brackets Add brackets decorator from filename (Sonic [TT]) --bezels Download bezels for games --sysbezels Download system bezel if game bezel is not found --cleanmedia Clean media directroies before downloading --systems SYSTEMS List of systems to scan (comma separated values) --debug Use for debugging purposes --listsystems Return a list of available systems --listlangs List available languages --appver Display retroscraper version and stop --sort ORIG DEST Sort your roms by system, put all your roms in one directory and output structure to second directory
As you see there's the recursive flag to go into subidrs, and by default retroscraper will scan all systems found in es_systems.cfg.
Let me know if this helps!
-
Thanks, though I am aware of the help/parameters.
Just haven't added--recursive
or an other optional option to the command just yet.
First I want to see how it works without it before moving a step further. -
