Yeah I would like to see this happen

@mitu
i was looking to play around with it and to make some thing that will run old arcade games -ps 1possibly ps2 , dream cast, game cube, and Xbox games. to give to my cusin as a gift for his doctorate graduation in 1- 2 years when he is done and i would not mind a copy for my self and i dont want to have to build something too big for him that is going to cost me a arm and leg.

OMG, bad dude vs Dragon Ninja was it!

I don't know how you figured that out by my description, but you nailed it. Thanks soooo much!

glad to help :) it was the train level that gave it away

@buzz I've deleted at least 5 accounts. Seems at least a new one each evening :/

I have found that arcade games using lr-mame2003 have vary wildly in their audio volume. Onw example, is Xevious which is much louder than other games and some games end up being much quieter. I know I can adjust the volume under settings / audio but that isn't persistent. I know about the hotkeys for volume up/down but again, I would have to raise adjust the volume every time I play Xevious for example.

Is there a way to adjust and save an individual game's volume? I checked the mame menu for Xevious and didn't see a volume option. I guess my other option is to figure out how to install a volume knob in my cabinet so I can just adjust on the fly but that's not much different than using the hotkeys other than a quicker way to dial in the volume. It sure would be nice to just be able to save a +/- db per game and be done with it though.

@RetroFreak89 I know this is a little late to the party - but there is a program called Exult, which is a recreation of the game engine that Ultima VII used - and there's a linux version of the source.

I haven't personally tried to build this on a Pi, but....

In theory, it could be done, and you could have a more 'native' running version.

I used Exult's windows builds many moons ago, and they were pretty stellar for usability and such. Many bugs were fixed, more modern systems are obviously supported, etc.

If all you want to do is play the game - this is a good way to go.

If you absolutely must have the original exe - then dosbox is likely the best way to go - maybe specfiically "dosbox pure".

Either way, google will get you to Exult or DosBox Pure..

Good luck, avatar!

@herb_fargus Ah right, thanks for your help. I did not realise that. I think I need to do some more research to learn more about it. Apologies if I broke any rules. Thanks Again

Stumbled into those two titles which look quite interesting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Syndrome there are NES and SMS ports, but the arcade version is far superior. Terrific 2-player action

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Explorer still have to try it. This one got a followup on the Super Famicom called Crystal Beans, it's only in japanese but there's a fanmade translation patch for it.

EDIT: also, changed the thread title to add the 'coop' bit

looks great, well done

Thanks everyone!! Your support means a lot!! It's definitely giving me the kick in the ass I need to get more done on it!!

It started as an idea, and now it's becoming more and more real as I go! The fun part is figuring out what each book would look like if they existed, and trying not to make it look stupid or silly.

I'm still not happy with the PSX pages, so when inspiration hits me, I'll try to redo them.

Trash it for PS1
It's an action game where the 1-4 players have to destroy buildings with gigantic hammers. As a player, you take role of a construction worker who has only one mission: To smash everything to bits and cross the finish line before the opponents. Check it out on youtube it's actually great deal of fun.

@kg14 read the forum rules.

How they are doing it is that it's illegal and eBay cares more about getting their cut than the law.

fixed on its own, restarted rpi

wow @edmaul69, thank you very much. i didn't think about it. i switched joypad from analog to standart in Little Big Adventure and its working now ;) legend of mana works as well
you are great, cheers

@ramospa I have NO idea how I originally missed this post, but just wanted to update this to reflect that these instructions worked perfectly for me. It seems that after all this time, the cheats found on the Reddit thread in the OP were the right one, they just had to be entered in a format familiar to Retroarch. I found it easier to store the cheat file in /home/pi/RetroPie/cheats, but otherwise, 10/10, BRB playing this game at last!
