@mitu Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for!

@andymassey Just remove the transparent plastic holder. Then you will be able to take half of the joystick off. That part has to be rotate by 90 degrees and reassembled. Finally you put the tranpsarent plastic holder back.

@geese-howard said in MAME 0.247 in RPi3:

Anyone uses it from https://stickfreaks.com/mame?

There is a spreadsheet showing a good performance using latest build - .0247, however i dont know how to install it.

If you wait a week or so the mame0.247 will be as binary in the RetroPie-Setup and you know it will work for sure without a lot of hassle.

But if you really want to try you can easily use it.
Be aware of the fact that the binary can fail with some distributions.
Not sure it will still work on Buster 10 distributions, but you can try.

If you have already mame installed earlier from the experimental section, which makes sure all dependencies and configs are installed, then you can just download and copy the files from within the zip file to :
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame

Optionally you can rename the old folder, earlier on, from :
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame to /opt/retropie/emulators/mame.bak for example.

You have to do the commands as root with sudo.

If we're talking about emulated games, the date/time of the emulator may not have an influence on the RNG the game implements - most of the emulated systems didn't have a real time clock or the concept of the system date/time.

@Addison it all depends on how the game implemented the RNG, some of the games relied on the RAM contents to initialize the RNG. On an emulator, the emulated RAM may get initialized to the same value (zero for instance) and thus there's no RNG at stake. Some emulators cater for this kind of situation with options - for instance Snes9x has a Randomize Memory option for this kind of situations, others may initialize the RAM directly with random values to prevent RNG failures.

Funny enough, some games' RNG can be manipulated, a technique used in speedruns to get a predictable set of events/weapons/etc. An example is below, where the runner saves and resets the game during startup

@PARALAX Yes, delete all folders and files.

See if the adapter has any firmware upgrades that fixes that. You never know.

@cdaters glad to help

@mrmadcatz I think you got your info here - from @barbudreadmon. The configuration for this game in the hiscore.dat file is wrong - that's why saving the hiscore doesn't work.

Same situation is present in MAME, so it looks like saving it won't work until someone adds a proper hiscore.dat entry for the game. The hiscore.dat file instructs the emulator how to save the high scores for the game, if there's no entry for the game or if the entry is not correct, no emulator will be able to save high scores.

@mitu Will do just that, thanks

@sirhenrythe5th wow i didnt know that ;D

@shift838 said in No Movement using MAME or MAME4ALL:

The only issue I seem to be having now is even though I have 2 joystics any game with MAME if selecting 2 player all plays off the first joystick. but so far I have only tested games that had only one joystick. I still need to test games that had multiple joysticks for players to play at the same exact time.

That's completely normal if you've ever played the actual arcade games. The only time you'll have the second controller active is on games where both players play at once.

Hi @ExarKunIv and @retropieuser

I tried AetherSX2 with your Retropie-Extra script and unfortunatly it doesn't load on my Pi5. Kernel8 is activated and I already run PPSSPP and Dolphin with XINIT-WM and I got the good bios

here's my runcommand.log

https://pastebin.fr/138616

Now, I'm stuck. Do you know why it won't load?

@mitu , worked...thanks a bunch.

@mitu, perfect. Thanks for the help.

@mitu I didn't, I created the GAMELIST.XML from scratch.

@ropgar id be happy to test with a usb nes controller if that would be helpful.

@h2805270

Are you already running something on the pico ?

I have BBC-micro somewhat running on the micro !

You can add shortcuts to your gamelist that will start with an empty file, thus disabling the auto-loading. Some emulators already have a similar shortcut (+Start Amiberry, +Start Fuse), you can replicate the setup for others.

If you prefer working from the desktop, then you can leave RetroPie alone and just install the emulators manually on a Raspbian + Desktop image.
