@WeirdH thank you, but i solved setting a lower resolution.

@Sailing_Nut said in lr-mame2016 Questions:

I was lead to believe that the mame-libretro was a generic folder for all MAME variants. I'll look at it more closely.

It is. If you have roms in that folder and several libretro Mames installed, you can press A when launching a game to choose which of your Mames should launch that rom (or set ot as default for everything in the folder). That said, I don't know from memory if Mame2016 is a libretro core.

@jimmyfromthebay that's weird because I run my game-override configs from the "configs" folder and I've not had any issues.

What's this?:

configs.hdmi

...is it supposed to say that, or...? That's not standard, I don't think...

I'd like to piggyback here just a bit, and hopefully not offtopic just to share my experience for whatever it's worth.

I've tried many times to get mame installed on my custom built PC from 2012 and failed numerous ways. The PC is AMD processor based and uses a Radeon 7770 GPU, and I can install lr-mame20003 and lr-mame2010 with no problems whatsoever. But when I've tried lr-mame2016, lr-mame, or even mame, I always end up with errors similar to the above and a failure to install.

fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

I've mostly stuck to Ubuntu 20.04, but once tried 21.04 and ran into the same thing @johnodon mentioned about the qt5 dependency. So today I got hold of a Dell Optiplex 3070 to test. I was able to install lr-mame onUbuntu 20.04.2 on the first attempt. This is Intel CPU based with integrated graphics.

I suspected and am now increasingly convinced that either my AMD CPU or my old Radeon GPU has something to do with being unable to install on my old PC. Unfortunately the logs and error messages don't provide enough clues to fix it in my experience. So when I get around to doing an arcade cabinet build, I will be looking for an Intel based system.

I wonder if there is anyone who can say they have installed newer mame cores on Ubuntu using AMD processors or AMD / Radeon GPUs.

@jimmyfromthebay well, a verbose log would tell us what it is.

@roslof
I have the exact same problem but I can't find mame 2016 folder under the bios folder on my image-virtualman 128gb arcade but it must be there as it is an option to use to open the rom file!
Any idea why, or where it could be??

@bollwerk I tried it now and sometimes the game loads, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it works without the menu screens. Weird. I am using an experimental kernel and the kms video driver so there might be bugs with that.

Here's a verbose log: https://pastebin.com/25ZvhUBh

Seems to work fine on fb-neo.

Now if you or someone can tell me how to save high scores in mame2016 it will be awesome! I just don't know where the files should go.

@barbudreadmon alright, thanks for the explanation. I'll switch off most of my systems on it so.

Thanks for the replies, explanations, and time !

and keep up the good work of course ;)

@mitu Coincidentally, I tried stretch with his mame build last week and it ran like dogcrap. I tried a neogeo game and ran at 30% speed.

Looking back at this post with that image i posted man my table was dirty lol.
