@red_trev said in issues with MAME(0.198) ROMs on lr-mame:

I think its the ROM rather than the emulator.

You think wrong :

as i told you, clrmamepro is your friend, so you are supposed to know if you are using the right rom or not, no need to think here, as long as you don't skip the step of verifying your romset, there'll never be a "rom problem" in arcade emulators http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=acheart => that game isn't playable in MAME, even including latest version

thank you for the link ! I will check the few games I am looking to play if they work in MAME , I have everything else I need already working in FBNeo

@jimmyfromthebay The MAME libretro core has a subpar libretro implementation and a lot of bugs because of it. It should be avoided whenever a game is supported by one of the recommended arcade libretro cores (FBNeo, MAME2003+). FWIW, FBNeo supports those 2 games and has a working dipswitch to toggle between single and dual screen.

System apfm1000 is working :

@johnodon The driver status indicates that the game should be fully playable, however it doesn't prevent the possibility of regressions or other issues, that's your job as a user to report such issues to the emulator authors. Take the color/sound/graphics status in mame with a grain of salt, i know of several issues that i reported myself but it seems they weren't fixed nor had their status updated.

@dankcushions said in Running out of MEM and SWAP when compiling lr-mame:

@johnodon yes, i pointed you towards the script earlier. however the script provides an informed guess rather than a cast-iron guarantee. normally it's enough.

lr-mame is in the experimental packages for a reason...

Gotcha. Thanks for all your help.

@dankcushions
thanks, I need to start wrapping my head around github at some point

@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.

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

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?
