Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone

@Retrodade

Sorry, I don't understand your post.
Can you make a better one ?

Retrodade

@Folly
Yes I’m not the best at getting my point across a lot

Sorry

To run ctvboy

Other than lr-mame update and roms folder
Do I need to ?

The emulator config is just standard Ir-mame command?

And the ctvboy driver is installed with the mame update correct?

Idk why I’m so lost on this one
I’m hoping to get it running

What’s the emulator config command?

And thank you so much !

ctvboy will work in the future with lr-mess but the recent one doesn't run it.
So I think the best way is to wait until the updates are in place.
Hope my answer is satisfying enough.

@Folly yes thank you

A tangent, and not too interesting for those of us who don't speak Japanese, but this is kind of fascinating. If the VCS was a barely-heard-of console, this thing is from Mars...

I'll do a system for my theme today

NEW EDIT: Done!

@Folly do you know about how long it usually takes for the update to show up in the binary? I went to add Tiger Pit-Fighter today and when it didn't work saw I am still on .261, and that's still where the binary is. I tried to install from source and gave up after 6+ hours, decided I should just be patient.

Retrodade

@DTEAM Thank you for that glad i now have the art

also "Double Dragon II: The Revenge and Mighty Max"
what's the game zips name? in newest MAME ?

Retrodade

@bbilford83 I'm getting it to work in Mame but not the retroarch mame / I updated both
might be why I'm not getting ctvboy going I'll have to keep an eye out for updates

If you do it from source it's recommended to edit the module-script and add more swap then it should probably compile within 6 hours with a PI4.
Most of the time the binary is added within the first 10 days of a new release.

How did you update, source or binary ?

Retrodade

@Folly source

I think you warned me about that previously and I had forgotten. But I will just be patient and wait for the binary, even with my fan my pi was throwing heat warnings throughout the compiling and it makes me nervous...

Probably for the next update (MAME 0.263), not available at the moment

If the swap isn't enough it will stick on a certain point.
Heat warnings are not that dangerous if you didn't alter the warning temperature in the config.txt.
By default the cpu will throttle the cpu clock down so the temperature goes down.
The disadvantage is that the compiling will take much longer.

@bbilford83

I compiled it and placed it on the gdrive.
Should be install-able from the script :
mame_0.262_arm7l_gcc8_rpi4.7z

Btw :
I changed swap to 10240 in the module-script.
I use an RPI4 8Gb so here ultimately about 2700 swap is really added.
It took about 4:30 hours without using coolers and overclocking.

Thank you very much @Folly! Forgive my ignorance but could you explain how I go about installing it?

Edit: I realize now you mean through your script, I will give that a shot in a bit (TV I can do it on is being used ATM).

Edit 2: Got it working, didn't even realize you can select old binaries to install on the script, that is neat! It also had me learn how to use standalone MAME for the art, I've only used lr-mame before in general :). Pit-Fighter sure is weird.
