@leitmotiv You can use the same topic, it's up to you if you want to use another forum or not - you might try the AdvanceMAME forums.

@jmbooth2000 Raiden Fighters 2 sound rom was properly dumped for MAME 0.149, so having sound issues with older MAME version is to be expected.

@mitu I think I've already got lr-mess installed (EDIT: actually lr-mess 2016). What do I need to add to EMULATORS.CFG?

@SpudsMcToole Oh, if it helps - when I get the MESS copyright splash screens and it says "Type OK or move joystick left then right to confirm", the joystick is recognised and works but the keyboard doesn't. (The keyboard works fine with other emulators.)

@mediamogul said in Using xboxdrv with mame4all/advmame: At this point, the only suggestion I can make to move forward is to reinstall RetroPie using the official image. I would also recommend re-configuring your network to allow a direct connection to your Pi so that you can troubleshoot these types of issues more effectively. I had to rework my entire network configuration about two weeks ago, so I know it's a pain. However, as it stands, you're working at a huge disadvantage by not being able to fully relay the exact contents of these configuration files and error logs. Yeah, redoing my network is something I'd like to do at some point anyway to simplify working with some things, but it's not something I'm prepared to do right away. Nor is re-flashing the SD card, although I recognize that would simplify a few things. (I'd have to save some of the info I've already setup, like my onstart/onend scripts, but that's okay.) I may have to go forward with the system as it is now and look into getting the rest of this working at a later date.

@pyjamarama Advmame has the config files in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/ for each version. For Vice - see the corresponding emulator page at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Commodore-64-VIC-20-PET/.

Thank you, setting it to SDL worked. I never would have thought to try that. I think that they modified something in Advmame as it was working prior to one of the updates with 3.x then just nothing and still worked with 1.4 with Alsa.

@alturis said in AdvMAME 3.6 Input Issues with certain games: but they are nowhere near as convincing as the retroarch crt shaders. I would probably still be running advmame for everything if it weren’t for those shaders in RetroArch. This and better analog support is the reason lr-mame2003 became my default, but it was mostly for the shaders. Now, Advmame is primarily for vector on my cab until someone adds hi-res rendering to the vector video in 2003.

@alturis To my knowledge you can't, but I haven't put a lots of time into experimenting either. Acceleration, for example, seems to only affect the max speed. If you continue to test and find out something different, I'd be very interested.

@alturis said in AdvMame Artwork: Missing something: @jonnykesh Weird. The information I was reading about it seemed to suggest just the opposite. That the old format was .art and the new format was .lay Yeah, you have it right, but wrong assumptions about which one AdvanceMAME requires. I tried to clarify that here, after @Meneer-Jansen's post.

@andershp ha ha ha ha, must have made an odd typo and then autocorrected to "old". Funny, but possibly true!

@mgrabow said in Tankstick Trackball Not Working in advmame: verbose mode appears no where the link several people have refered be to. The option is in the Runcommand menu, but the screenshot/example of that menu is likely old and does not show that choice as an example. However, if you use Runcommand, L "Launch with verbose logging" is an option.

@dudleydes - Have you tried the AdvMAME forums. It might be a long shot but it can't hurt to see if anyone has some suggestions. It sounds like AdvMAME is not doing some cleanup upon exit possibly? AdvMAME Support Forums I recently bumped up to 3.5 and find it does has some issues that 1.4 doesn't have. I keep both loaded until 3.5 does some "optimizations".

I tried device_joystick raw first and had no luck with either controller, but sdl worked so i stuck with that. I will take another look at it. Thanks for the reply!

@caver01 I really appreciate how helpful you have been. I just don't want to waste your time.

@stevep Did you add ROMs? Which advMame? There are 3.

@lushous ??

SOLVED..?!?! So no real explanation. I came home, scratched my head a few minutes, made sure my files were not set to read only, reinstalled the advmame packages, double checked my placements and linkage, rebooted the entire house... and it works now. Three randomly picked games loaded up. I need to map keys but yes, this is awesome. In the attract mode motion blue & hyperpie, the sega and atari circuit board system display layouts pull from the advmame set, and it turned out to be one of the only sets I don't have, so this was awesome, not sure what all was wrong here. Thanks again to everyone's help on this
