Problem installing Mame 2010 (0.139)

dankcushions

those are all usual compilation warnings and don't really explain the problem. if you look in home/pi/RetroPie-setup/logs there should be an archived full compilation log that should have the issue at the end somewhere.

btw, i compiled mame2010 on a pi 3 yesterday so it works, at least. it's probably a temperature or power issue. possibly ram.

Some of the log files had no contents - this one was there:

I realise this is for the current version of mame - they both seemed to have the same problem though.

Use markdown to format your posts - see http://commonmark.org/help/ - and put large logs on a pastebin type site like http://paste.ubuntu.com/ http://pastebin.com/ or similar.

in that particular log it failed because you had a networking issue - the source never got downloaded.

I caught this at the end of a another attempt

you ran out of memory (and crashed). lower gpu mem split (give minimum memory for gpu like 32MB) and increase swap - (in /etc/dphys-swapfile)

matalog

I changed gpu mem to 32mb and put CONF_SWAPSIZE=500 (from 100) in /etc/dphys-swapfile - this is still not working.

I found this log from before that is a lot bigger. link text

I´ve just installed mame2010 (3 days ago) and no problems with raspberry 3, also i updated scripts, it takes about 1hour and 15minutes full install.
But i have problem with second pad^^

@matalog are you overclocked ?Did you disable overclocking ? If you have enough memory, you probably have an unstable overclock.

matalog

Because of the first answer I got, I removed the overclock instructions, my device shouldn't be overclocked anymore.

The last times I have tried this, it has continued for longer than usual, but it seems to be in a loop, I wouldn't have left it doing that for over an hour.

I'll start it up now and leave it to see.

Why would it take so long? Surely mame isn't that big?

i doubt it's in a loop. it hits those memory warnings as it compiles every driver, i believe. there are 100s and 100s of drivers.

it is that big :) over an hour, as has been said.

matalog

I gave the program the required time to install (over an hour) and It is now working. Buzz, your answer last night was the solution - i just didn't give it enough time.

Should current mame install as readily as mame 2010?

Thanks for the help guys.

dankcushions

current mame is exponentially larger so will take even longer, and more memory, to build. like mame2010, it's probably not very usable on pis anyway.

Im trying to install Mame2010 right now and it is taking forever. It seems to be scrolling the lines but not doing anything else. Is this normal?

BuZz

It's compiling. It takes over an hour.

Thanks, its still running. Wow.

If I want to remove it, how do I uninstall an experimental package?

BuZz

Update RetroPie-Setup as automatic removal is included. You can also install that emulator from binary in the latest version, so no need to compile it.

I have updated Retropie-Setup this morning, but find no install from binaries in mame2010 installer, only from sources? I'm on a Pi Zero, but see no armv6 restriction in lr-mame2010.sh?
