MAME Cheats on RetroPie!
-
@mediamogul - It's been a good read so far but still at the beginning laying the ground work for the story. So many forum members seem to recommend it that it has to be good. I agree about the movie, well book adaptions in general. Your caution is duly noted. I don't want to high jack the thread off topic but wanted to comment as I was reading threads.
@columboscoat - I'm not sure if you missed my point or maybe it's to late and I'm missing the point! :) Proper grammar is something I genuinely appreciate as it gets so brutally mutilated with shorthand texting. Being grammatically correct is so rare it's a super power and that makes Media Superman...errr...no...Letterman (remember him)...I think it does anyway...or something like that...something...good...like...that!

That and Earth's yellow sun of course. ;)

@Riverstorm It's not uncommon for people to coummunicate properly even via text. Maybe you should stop texting 12 year olds. Some of us are actual adult humans who value clear and concise communication. U gt me bruh? Sweet.

The Pi 3 has zero problems running the capcom library of 1990, Neo Geo, Konami. Popular arcade machines that have been worked on for the past 2 decades are very efficient now. CAVE shooters arn't bad, it can get a little slow. I'm sure there are many other arcade games that can be singled out from that erra that are fine, too. 32 bit arcades like SEGA's and Psy aren't well optimized and will fall apart.
current mame basically isn't optimised - that's not the intention. the code is there as a readable reference and to be as accurate as possible not as a means to run games. any optimisations that affect either of those goals have been taken out.
older mame (0.78) is less accurate (samples, hacks and so forth, and just because it was 14 years of development ago) and therefore runs a majority of its subset fine on VERY weak CPUs like the pi2/3.
as an example: cps2 and neogeo will drop frames in current mame on a pi3 and especially pi2. mame0.78 and fbalpha can run them on both at full speed on a pi2.

"as an example: cps2 and neogeo will drop frames in current mame on a pi3 and especially pi2. mame0.78 and fbalpha can run them on both at full speed on a pi2."
I´m using (and loving) Advance-MAME and have the CPS-II Games working at full Speed, even on a PI2.
Concerning NEOGEO-Games i fully agree!Side-Effect by using Advance-MAME: the cheats are fully implented by Default, just enter the DIP-Switches via the TAB-Menue when running a game et voila: Cheats can be activated on the fly. (as example: "undestroyable (cheat) -> yes")

advance mame isn't current mame. it's also a fork and has it's own optimisations.

Well surprisingly I do! ;) I have a half dozen nieces and nephews. I have children too with my oldest getting closer to 30. It's so precious watching them grow. Once you have kids they are a source of sorrow (and sleeplessness...you do loose years of it ;) but also the greatest joy you can ever experience. Looking back at photos when they weren't much bigger than a football is still amazing for me every time. Being middle aged now I do center my life around immediate and extended family activities like holidays, birthdays and just random gatherings grilling out, playing, etc. I can't think of anything more important.
I have to say I wasn't trolling the forums looking to hand out random compliments (not that that's necessarily a bad idea). I've been reading Media's posts, threads and guides for months and we even chat occasionally. I don't get to read the forums daily some weeks and miss others completely so I have to skim and read the posts that look interesting or contain information related to what I am trying to understand or configure. There's several excellent writers on the forums, the Wiki's are an incredible source of information. In fact I don't think I would be doing hardly any retro gaming on the Pi if it wasn't for RetroPie but Media's writing style just sticks out to me and his creative sense of fun humor. I think he's a neat writer and just felt like commenting.
For the life of me I am trying to figure out why you're flaming when all I was trying to do was share a thought that was a compliment. I believe it was well received by Media so why would you possibly care enough to take your time to post things so random (that were actually true) and derogatory when we know nothing about each other good sir?

I give up, it drives me crazy, in retropie shows me that mame2003 is installed, on mame runcommand is only 2 emulators
@dankcushions is the authority on all this and I believe he's likely nailed the source of your problem to having the ROMs installed in the wrong folder. If you ever decide to revisit this situation, you should definitely start by making sure your ROMs are located at
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/. -
@mediamogul The roms are in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame
Can i move only the roms or roms and folders from mame-advmame in to mame-libreto?
Also is possible to rename the folder mame-advmame in to mame libreto?
-
I would just move the ROMs from one folder to another, but renaming should work as well.
-
@Rpie4TheWOLF and you have a 0.78 mame romset, right?
-
@dankcushions I have the Reys 128gb Image, where i check the version of the MAME roms?
-
I have the Reys 128gb Image
That is an unofficial image that isn't supported on these forums. Someone here may be willing to help you further, but you'll likely need to seek support from the location where you downloaded the image unless you're willing to start over fresh with an official RetroPie image. In the interest of concluding this specific issue, I'll just recommend that you validate the MAME ROMs that came with the image and rebuild if necessary, or otherwise acquire a new set that you can be sure is 0.78, also known as the "MAME 2003 Reference Set".

I've been enjoying retropie 4.3 and I finally found out how to enable cheats in mame (mame4all)
If you edit
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all/mame.cfg
and change
cheat=no
to
cheat=yesYou'll be good to go.
I'm only posting this here because googling "retropie mame cheats" always leads me here.

@bubba-doom hi sir, lr-mame2010 has support cheat or not?? If yes, could you help me know how to enable it, thanks your kind
