There's no lr-mess-jaguar in RetroPie. If you're using @folly's scripts, then please post it that topic.

@mitu Hi, just a quick follow-up that downloading from source (MAME 0.263) has resolved this error for me as well. Thank you!

@Folly Thanks, I got everything running now!

Libretro mame master branch has been updated to 0255.
Compiling for arcade and mess sub-targets has been implemented again.

Hopefully everything will work like it did before.

@Folly yea for sure i am about to install mame and other systems i let you know how it goes.

@mitu said in lr-mame & lr-mess binaries:

Latest commit on the upstream repository is from May, 27 - I think the binaries are pretty close to the 'lastest version'. You can check when the binary was built and from which commit, just to compare with the upstream repo (https://github.com/libretro/mame).

Ah, I see that now. Looks like they're dealing with one heck of a pull request. I'll keep an eye on the upstream repo. Cheers, and thanks!

@Widge

That's ok.

We will have to wait until somebody else has figured it out.

@jamrom2

Nice work !

GameKing gamelist with videos and boxes is now available here

@mitu

It's working perfectly after updating the RetroPie-Setup script and installing lr-mess from the binary again !

@csl

No problem but I think we see things from a much different angle.

I don't know the exact answer, you should ask a "global moderator".
But, I think, it basically comes down to how much time the developers can or want to spend and what they think what should be added or not.

And when something isn't there, some people become developers themselves.
Perhaps you can contribute to the open source community too.

I think you can just add gameandwatch in line 50 of /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-mess.sh
I haven't tested though !
Let me know if it works for you, perhaps we can learn from this.

@gilmo714 No links to copyrighted material please - see the forum rules.

Never mind, fixed it :)

I think I'd crossed the streams while flailing at the options. The key is to add -gameio joy to emulators.cfg, so that it reads like this:

lr-mess-apple2 = "/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/run_mess.sh /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so /opt/retropie/configs/apple2/retroarch.cfg apple2e /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -gameio joy -flop1 %ROM%"

And then go into the MESS menu and set the analog controls up like this:

The key is those "P1 Joystick X Analog" and "P1 Joystick Y Analog" lines - you have to make sure those are set to "None", which isn't the default. Take those two steps and you should be sorted.

@jimmyfromthebay a bit late now, but you should know we do not support third party forks of the software, such as

Valerino's fantastic alternative RetroPie-Setup script

although they are active here to assist: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/25576/new-scriptmodules-lr-vice-xvic-gsplus-proper-lr-mess-integration

that said, your issue appears generic. note that the location of active overrides is found in the verbose log as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

I added Pocket Challenge V2 in Cygnus Blue Flammes theme.

You can run it with MAME or WonderSwan emulators
With MAME, it's pockchal

You can use Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone to install this system, but you will need to manually add WonderSwan emulator connections.

@Folly

MAME 0.271 is released

265-in-1 Handheld Game (SPG2xx based) [David Haywood, TeamEurope] (All in 1)

I updated everything to 0271.
Again this was quite some work.
To give you an idea here I added a readme on how I do that (just scroll down):
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/tree/main/00-databases-00/sorted_info_creation/0XXX
I also added this so others can join in if they want.

Hope everything works like expected.
Only the mame0271 aarch64 binary has been added to the gdrive
X86_64 binaries are still missing
lr-mess/lr-mame binaries are also still missing.
Will see if I have the time this week to add more binaries.

@dteam

That is just what I was thinking tonight.

Cool, we were on the right track ;-)

Well, still we have to learn allot about MAME, we are not finished yet with learning !
