@Legend1977 said in Issue with Insert Coin on Arcade Mode:

@geese-howard Thanks for this, I don't suppose you know how to do this please?

In EmulationStation, press Start and choose "configure input."

Alternatively, begin EmulationStation with no controllers nor keyboard attached, then when it asks you to configure a controller, attach the one you want to configure.

Your post breaks the 1st rule of the forums - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules.

@aaronc75 Could you provide more information about how you have setup Skyscraper? That path to the media looks strange. It seems you have relative paths turned on, but I don't understand why it says ./downloaded_images as the media path.

What are the permissions of the ./downloaded_images folder itself?

What exactly 'not working' means ? EmulationStation doesn't start ? Games aren't working ? Installation is not completing ?
Please add more details about your setup, including the Ubuntu version and hardware details.

@mitu Thanks yes you have right Thanks for the help

@kounabi22 said in can some version of mame other than mame2010 ,play killer instict 1 or 2:

i try so many from sites

retropie also has a documentation about clrmamepro, which allows to ascertain the romset is compatible with the emulator instead of trying random romsets...

@kounabi22
Meh...
I'll stick with a permanent preference for the PS2 version.
It's a game from 2000, yet the Graphics are The Tip of Everest!
Too bad PS2 Emulation is a train-wreck that's yet to be cleared up.

@night5hade This worked perfectly! thank you!

@grfc said in What is the best MAME to use with Pi 4 4GB? (Largest library, highest compatability):

@roslof Hi, not sure of the correct etiquette of commenting here, but I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your efforts on your Retropie & N64 compatibility spreadsheet. I have been referencing it for some time now as I continue to build my arcade collection for my Pi400, but I checked it yesterday and noticed you completed it recently! A massive undertaking by you, and congrats! And I wanted you to know that I (and I'm sure others) appreciate your efforts! Good job! :-)

Kind of you and glad you've made use of the sheets. The project isn't over, as I update it from time to time when I have chunks of time available. Takes a few weeks to go through the ROMs, so can't do this with each major emulator release. Also some good help from a small number of people keeps me on my toes.

Thinking about handling CHD games next... We'll see.

Thanks, I have done that. I'll try different ROMS.

Just posted in there. Many thanks!

@barbudreadmon Fighting Layer runs at over 50FPS in Mame 2010 and is very much playable. I didn't even test frameskip. It is about about 15FPS slower in Mame 2016.

Perhaps I need to check out Mame 2003+ for system 11 and 12 compatability. Further to my previous experiments with System 246/256 (PS2) my understanding is that no version of Mame currently supports these.

@mitu thanks! Updated the command:)

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

I've just read this on the mamedev wiki... "The original controller for 720 Degrees was a joystick that was hardware-limited to only travel along the outermost edges in a circle. The internal mechanism for reading this control was similar to a spinner except that it had the additional benefit of knowing which direction the joystick was pointing. Because this knowledge is an important aspect of the game, the current emulation of the controller maps an analog joystick to the underlying controls instead of a spinner." I've never heard of this before! That would be hard to emulate. So does this mean that the system doesn't recognise when the joystick is central, so you always have to be facing in a direction for the game to work? I'm guessing you would have to set the controls in mame to allow this, but you wouldn't need to configure it as a spinner. I'm pretty sure your left right up down system would work as normal.

@JesseBlue said in Help with identifying two arcade games:

The second one might be Crude Buster (US: Two Crude).

That's the one JesseBlue, I wasn't expecting to find them so fast, and with such a small description, thank you man.

@clyde said in Arcade on wheels..:

Great idea and build. In addition, you could cover it with a one-sided mirror so it looks like a hall mirror when it's turned off. :)

That would look very nice, but I don't know if I can deal with all the glare it will produce.

@sadtraxx What they meant was that you don't unzip the roms themselves, maybe there was some miscommunication.

The files you're expected to have in the folder must match these:
