@jsm said in LR-MAME not saving High Scores:

Just seems like a big oversight to not add the plugins components for things like hi Score to the LR-MAME build since MAME went to that system quite some time ago.

well, i tried to make you use something else because i know that's the most broken mame core, we are talking about a core that'll enter an infinite loop without providing any useful error when using the wrong romset here, and it has been like this for quite some time now... so i don't expect hiscores to be a priority if anyone is even working on improving that core...

How did you 'downloaded' ? If you've used the binary install, you'll get Mame 0.229 and lr-mame based on the 0.229 MAME version.

Oh my god thanks I'm so angry I swear I used the search before I made this and must have missed it.

not update until optimizations are in place

Well, i doubt that's gonna happen soon, netlist emulation has been around for 10 years and always required a somehow good cpu. It'll probably take some time before they make another breakthrough performance-wise, and i'm not sure the MAME team even care about performance in the first place.

@roslof said in lr-mame: Cinematronic Changes and the Pi 4B:

Of course fb-neo is another alternative

Actually, this driver is the only vector games driver we are missing. In my previous post i was talking about netlist emulation in general, since it's used in most 70s and early 80s games, i guess we'll keep using samples for now.

@dankcushions Hi dank. This is actually great to know, as I think you probably just saved me from disappointment.

So I'm working on an arcade build of sorts for the .221 set in its entirety. I guess I assumed here that I could download and align everything to lr-mame, but that doesn't seem to be the case, correct?

Should I just stick to MAME 0.78 and lr-mame2003-plus and go that route? At least I know those will work and that core is bulletproof.

So..... Anybody?
Throw me a freakin' bone...

@Darksavior That's more or less the results i expected in terms of performance for lr-mame on a rpi3.

Sadly, sega system 32 is not available in fbalpha, but maybe someday.

@grant2258 It worked for lr-mame2003 but not for lr-mame2010.
It seems is an impossible mission to configure player 2 controls in lr-mame2010: do you have experienced it?

Still an issue with the compiled core.

I had this issue where a left mouse click would freeze any game that had a panel overlay (the side art around the actual gameplay). Here was a thread about it. It looks like its fixed on the newest version of Retroarch 1.7.7.

@UDb23 it's getting there then ☺ my cab is fine but since I've got it into a usable state I've never actually got around to finishing it. One day...

@UDb23 sweet... as always buddy.

@HurricaneFan Try this game ;-)
It looks simple at first glance... but it's quite tough.
The Stern version, theends, is slightly different and somewhat easier.

btw that's part of the fun with Retropie; we all discover new games thanks to others sharing their fun, their favorite or even issues .

@Mebejedi Welcome to the forum.

It would be better to start a new thread about this because your problem has nothing to do with the overlay that this thread is about.

No matter what, you should provide the information that is asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
