I'm assuming the Mame set has not been issued yet?

The latest set that has been issued is 273.
Search for : "MAME Sets & Datfiles"

MAME Sets & Datfiles

Thanks, I updated and updated MAME but they boot back. Do I need to add the Datfile somewhere as well? I seen pi didn't say MAME had an update, so am I trying to0 early perhaps?

Run mame with verbose mode and check the /dev/runcommand.log .
Then you can find what's wrong.

No

You should check your version of mame.
Run a game that still works and use "tab" to go into the UI and check "about".
Or check your /dev/runcommand.log after trying to run a game in mame with verbose mode, this might also reveal the version.

If you have an old version, like 0253, and you recently updated the binary via the RetroPie-Setup then there is no new version for the original RetroPie image available.
If so, then this is due to the underlying older linux operating system which cannot run newer compiled mame binaries or canniot compile newer mame source-code anymore.
That would mean that you are stuck with using old roms and an old version of mame unless you create a new linux image, with a newer OS, by yourself with installing RetroPie on top of it.

If you still can't find a solution then I recommend you open a new help thread.

new MAME artworks for some systems here

Folly

@DTEAM

Thanks for looking,

Strange that I overlooked some.
I think the new classich ones are not automatically detected will have a look next time.,..

Databases for 274 and 275 should be OK now.

Folly

@DTEAM

I am busy with rewriting detection for classich drivers.
A few extra drivers popped up :
auslalom
comparc
comparca
monkeysee

I tested all of them and I think auslalom could be added.
What do you think ?

The other 3 aren't interesting to add.

Btw.
What do we do with tbaskb ?

DTEAM

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

What do we do with tbaskb ?

It's already in the classich list. This game works

Folly

@DTEAM

tbaskb isn't in mame anymore when listing the drivers.
That's already the case for a long time now, I think more than 2 years.
Do you know if there is a replaced driver.
I know from 10 versions from mame ago it did still work but wasn't listed.

Well if it still works and there isn't a replaced name in mame than we should keep it in.
