it works on the old emulator but not the updated one?

Using 4.2 latest lr-mame 2010 seem to work fine; but I only use a few roms.
Do you have issues with all .139 roms ?

edmaul69

@UDb23 yes. All of them i have tried work fine on the slightly older lr-mame-2010. None of the work on the very latest update. I even updated retropie setup a few minutes ago and reinstalled lr-mame2010. Nothing works.

1.5.0 - MAME 2010 0.139 works fine. It is what is on my last update of retropie 4.1.17. I have no idea what version the new one is because no games boot. Do you have retropie 4.2.2 installed?

UDb23

@edmaul69 Will check with other roms and let you know.

@UDb23 i edited my last post. What version exactly is your retropie and what version is the working mame 2010 you have?

Spiders overlay for lr-mame 2010 ready ;-)
It is setup to force correct aspect ratio.

Retropie 4.2; RGUI says I have the same 2010 version as you "1.5.0 - MAME 2010 0.139 b9c98d0"
Means I should not update !

Maybe @buzz knows what's new in the current lr-mame2010 that may generate problems.

edmaul69

@UDb23 if you do update backup the mame 2010 libretro.

@UDb23 i accidently posted my last post while testing. Please ignore it. I edited it. All mames and lr-fbalpha run fine so it is only lr-mame-2010 that is not working. I will start a new topic to try to get it fixed.

I think a good majority of games work better in lr-mame2010. It just needs a bit more love like saving the directories in the proper place instead of the retropie root, some games have the wrong aspect ratio and you can't use the mouse for gun games. A few notable games which are better in lr-mame2010 :-

Escape from the planet of the robot monsters (continually runs forward in lr-mame2003)
Super sprint (continually accelerates in 2003)
Tapper (doesn't work in 2003)

And a lot more which I can't think of at the moment (not at home). (Also has auto frameskip for those games that don't quite hit the magic 60hz). @pjft Outrun runs like crap on lr-mame2010.

@windale Escape from the planet of the robot monsters and super sprint arent actually an issue. They are analog controls. If you setup your system to use analog controls it works perfect and better than if you were using digital controls.

Golden tee (all of them) but 2k and classic only work on mame 2010.

Actually, the GT series works fine on AdvanceMAME (Pi3).

edmaul69

@caver01 yes. I should have specified better. I was referring the difference between 2010 and 2003. I actually need to try it out in advmame personally to see if there is any improvement.

Have you tried changing the controls on those games in lr-mame2003 ? I couldn't get them to work properly. It's a lot of hassle that isn't needed on lr-mame2010.

@windale by default the right analog works in games like super sprint. super sprints steering wheel is a spinner. so by default it steers with a mouse. games like outrun automatically work on the left analog. i put this in all my retroarch.cfg files except for psp and psx as they have seperate controls for dpad and analog. this makes the dpad and left analog both work in everything. add this above the #include.... line in the retroarch files

input_player1_up_axis = "-1"
input_player1_down_axis = "+1"
input_player1_left_axis = "-0"
input_player1_right_axis = "+0"

input_player2_up_axis = "-1"
input_player2_down_axis = "+1"
input_player2_left_axis = "-0"
input_player2_right_axis = "+0"

@windale i forgot to tell you this part to make stuff on the right analog like super sprints gas, brake to work on buttons, you want to add this to the retroarch files they can co exist with the existing settings. you need to add the button numbers you want to switch them to.

input_player1_r_x_plus_btn = " "
input_player1_r_x_minus_btn = " "
input_player1_r_y_plus_btn = " "
input_player1_r_y_minus_btn = " "

input_player2_r_x_plus_btn = " "
input_player2_r_x_minus_btn = " "
input_player2_r_y_plus_btn = " "
input_player2_r_y_minus_btn = " "
