@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.

@Folly Nevermind, I figured it out. My command line looks like this now:

lr-mess-fmtmarty-carmen = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch --config /opt/retropie/configs/fmtmarty/retroarch.cfg --appendconfig /opt/retropie/configs/fmtmarty/retroarch.cfg.add -S /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fmtmarty -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fmtmarty -v -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mamemess_libretro.so 'fmtmarty -ram 4M -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame;/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fmtmarty/ -cfg_directory /opt/retropie/configs/fmtmarty/lr-mess -c -ui_active -flop /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fm_towns_disks/carmen.mfi -cdrm %ROM%'"

and I added:
-flop /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fm_towns_disks/carmen.mfi

which pointed to the disk and the game loaded with the floppy already in the drive!

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?

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 .
