I thought 265 was the crossover point.
Only if you want to use the newer mame 265 version.
Edit :
The newer script will still work on older OSes but newer mame versions will not. -
MAME 0.266 is released. No new stuff for us.
-
Yes I saw, nice !
Have build my first x86_64 binary.
Computer is now busy with creating the inis.
Would like to be completely independent from progettosnaps in the future but that is probably too much work.Ps.
Have you had the chance to look at the script updates or is it too much for you ? -

Yes, it's working well ! I installed 0.255 with your script
New games from Gameking III doesn't work. don't know why -

Is it a typo or is 255 correct.
255 is quite old or was it a test on your side to test the script.Which games do not work ?
-
(MAME file names) diamond and hemic. All gameking3 games working well excepted those 2 new games
Problem with CDI, All CD systems work excepted CDI. Maybe it's on my side for that one.
For CDI and GAMEKING3, i used your script.
-
Do you use RPI3 or 4
-
@Folly
Pi4 -
It's likely due to the version/binary of mame you use.
-
I stopped updating the database ini files for 266 and decided that I will skip this version update.
It might be that I will also skip several more version updates that will save me a lot of time.Seems to me that a large number of users cannot or will not play with mame 265 or higher yet as most are still using older OSes and the users of PI5's seem also limited.
Therefor it makes no real sense to do the version updates.If someone thinks differently about it then let me know and I can reconsider.

CDI works with 0.264 but not with 0.265. I used mame0.265 binary (line 12) from your script. 0.265 has some bugs for some system. For exemple for VIS, I cant use MAME alocated buttons , like exit. but for some systems, everything working well. I came back to 0.264.
Does it exist another precompiled 0.265 compatible with a Pi4?
-
Ok interesting that you could somehow use 265 partly.
Did you make a new 64 bits Bookworm image for yourself and installed RetroPie-Setup on top of it ?No there is not another 265 binary for the PI4.
You should make it yourself. -
Just tested cdimono1 (philips cdi) and it does work on my PI4 and PI5 with the mame 265 stickfreaks binary.
Will test VIS too, will let you know.
Edit :
Tested VIS with "Americas National Parks (1992)(Multicom)(US)" on my PI4 and the shown EXIT buttons in the game do work.
Which game did you try ? -

Line 12 is a totally different binary, see here :
If possible then you should use :
-
Links Golf
For MAME I made a mistake, I used 0.255. It was line 12 on your main download page (Experimental one, at risk ) Sorry. I read too fast. Stupid mistake from me. Sorry for wasting your time.
The stickfreaks file you have is for a 64bit Raspberry Pi OS
see :
https://stickfreaks.com/mame/_README.TXTI think I need the "armhf"/"armv7l" version for 32bit Rasbperry Pi OS......
It doesn't exist for 0.265. He has stopped to share this option with MAME 0.260. With retropie, the official 32 bit binary file stop at 0.264.Well, I'll have to go with my Pi5 to continue
-
Ok now I understand,indeed that binary is for RPI1.
Indeed the stickfreaks website dropped the 32bits/rpi2 versions.The 32 bit's 264 mame binary should still be available from the RetroPie-Setup when you install mame from the original mame module-script.
It is linked in my script or go to experimental packages and install/update from binary instead of source.I have never added that one to my gdrive.
I will see if I still can. -
-
I never used cross-compiling but indeed I see some returning news.
Seems it's best to use a 64bits OS in the future.What did strike you the most ?

Not that much. Just the newest additions. 0.264 works well
Maybe we are near the end of 32 bit with MAME. I'll do a manual installation of Retropie on my Pi5. I didn't found a recent (0.265 or 0.266) precompiled 32 bit version of MAME
-
Let me know if it works for you ;-)
And if you want you can share it for my gdrive.
