Everything is down now so I can't get any files.
Will try to getbbrostomorrow so I can test with softlist loading and eventually without. -
Edit : A solution is in the next post. This post seems irrelevant.
I think they need to add HuCard slots in pce_cd.cpp.
(// TODO: correct name, split into incremental HuCard slot devices)Listslots will give :
pi@pi-2204:~/RetroPie/roms/pcengine/cylums-turbo-grafx-cd-rom-collection$ /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listslots pce SYSTEM SLOT NAME SLOT OPTIONS SLOT DEVICE NAME ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------------------- pce ctrl arcade_pad_6 NEC Arcade Pad 6 avenue_pad_6 NEC Avenue Pad 6 joypad2 NEC PC Engine Pad joypad2_turbo NEC PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 2 Button Joypad mouse NEC PC Engine Mouse multitap NEC PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 Multi Tap pachinko Coconuts Japan Pachinko Controller CJPC-101 pcjoy Micom Soft XHE-3 PC Joystick Adapter for PC Engine cartslot [none] No options availableYou see that there are no cartslots available.
Don't know if it is correct but it seems it's only possible to softload pcecd files.

I have Loom.chd booting now ;-)
I had a look at the PC-Engine docs and found that lr-beetle-XXXXX needs
syscardor equivalent to boot cd's.
So I had a search in the the software for pce./opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listsoftware pce|grep cdsysThe cdsys.zip file contains all version of syscard (cdsys,cdsysa and cdsysb)
I tried them all on my Loom.chd and It booted in the CD boot screen.
After pressing "1" it will mention that Loom requires the Super CD-ROM System.After a good search the rom for mame is scdsys, obviously.
So I did a test with that rom with this test cmd :pi@pi-2204:~/RetroPie/roms/pcengine/cylums-turbo-grafx-cd-rom-collection$ /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -rompath . pce scdsys -cdrm Loom.chdPutting the scdsys.zip in the same directory as the game.
Now after pressing "1" the game boots !So I don't have the bbuster.chd yet, as everything is still down.
But this is something you can try.
Just add thesecdsysandscdsysfiles in BIOS/mame and add one of them instead of~~pcecd~~.Let me know if it works.
ps.
scdsysis probably the best way to go as it looks like it is the latest version and will probably cover most games. -

Wow, nice work! You are now a MAME expert!
Glad to see you solved this puzzle!NEW EDIT: I can't find cdsys and scdsys. I'll continue to search them on google

@DTEAM
Added to the normal versions (now 253.08) (commit has wrong version (mistake)) :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/e6b9900cc28e4d6b673a28e4e19c71066db05e0fCan you test !
Help has been added, look at that too.
BIOS can be in BIOS/mame/pce -

I am probably moving back to my Debian 11 VM.
Ubuntu 22.04 already gives multiple things that need fixing.
If you are familiar with these problems we can add a separate thread for this and discuss it over there.
The issues are :- emulationstation and emulators not centered in desktop display
- solution is to enable auto-removing the top-panel/top-bar so emulationstation will use the whole screen. (install the extension manager from ubuntu software and enable hide top-bar)
- https://fostips.com/auto-hide-top-panel-debian-ubuntu-fedora/
- OSX shortcut key combinations interfere with the Ubuntu VM
- solution is to change some shortcut key-combinations in OSX so they don't interfere with ctrl in combination with the cursor keys in the Ubuntu VM (^->,^<-, etc)
- apple keyboard keys aren't all correct and can't find a solution
- apple keyboard FN key not working for using F1 - F12 (solution was to set keyboard & mouse, in the VMware, on on mac profile)
- selecting multiple files with the ctrl-key in nautilus doesn't work, also no solution found
- tried caja and it doesn't work in caja either so the issue seems not file-explorer related
- Ubuntu key combo's (ctrl+alt) activate unwanted conflicts when playing games
- moving files from the host to the VM doesn't work
(VMware tools is noted as installed and copy/past of text works)- reinstalling open-vm-tools + open-vm-tools-desktop did not work
- using caja instead of nautilus works but a drag file icon is displayed which cannot be removed without restart or logging out and logging in
- logging out and logging in and selecting the settings icon to open
Ubuntu on xorgseemed to be a solution however the VM will freeze/lock (and is troublesome to shutdown or restart)
- It's a bit slower than Debian
I had hoped it was better but I expect much more issues.
- emulationstation and emulators not centered in desktop display

Tested already many files from the
chd_pcecdromset.
And Buster Bros. (USA) from theredump.pce.revivalworks too.
Up til now many work ;-)I hope the speed is ok on the pi4, can't test right now.

moving back to my Debian 11 VM.
Sounds like a good idea (though I never used pure debain so far), i also encountered some trouble whence using shared folders now: seem to be working right after enabling 'em, but not anymore after a reboot/restart (need to be deactivated, all FS traces removed from the guest (media target folders) and then can be enabled again). Guess the OpenVMware-Tools need some overhaul in regards to nowadays Ubuntu. But for me setting up a new vm has has to wait 'till next week, as i am currently abroad.
-
We can make threads of both in general discussion and discuss installation and issues we face.
Let's see next week or so. -
Any news ?

It doesn't work with No-Intro Roms, i'll try with MAME roms
I got the good BIOS -
@DTEAM said in Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone:
It doesn't work with No-Intro Roms,
Looks like No-intro roms (
nointro-merged) are just regular pce files and no cd-rom files. -
It works with:
mame-system-pcecd-cdrm-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -autoframeskip -ui_active pce scdsys -cdrm %ROM%"I added scdsys in my command line. It was my error.

pcecd
Should not be in there.
You use the latest mame, right ? -
The speed is very good on a PI4 but without autoframeskip.
I recommend:mame-system-pcecd-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -ui_active pce cdsys -cdrm %ROM%" -

Btw. I can add that line too if needed, What do you think ?

You use the latest mame, right ?My bad for pcecd, I did a cut and paste from my previous post , but it's not in my real command line. I modified my post.
-
Another mistake ... Oh my god!
No it's scdsysSorry. So ... the good line is:
mame-system-pcecd-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -ui_active pce scdsys -cdrm %ROM%"NEW EDIT: It works with all .chd files, regardless of the name used

Haha, Some days are just .....
I have them too you know ;-)
