Thank you, I have found that ClrMamePro does work on Linux Via Wine. Another option I have seen is to use Launchbox, but It did not work via wine. It does ask for a email just so you can download it, it feels like it may be one of those apps that are harvesting info and spying on you. As for the Linux compatabile MAME rom filtering software it is "Mame Set Rebuilder" that was very simple and easy to use.

Hi we wrote a complete guide on how to setup both a spinner and a trackball at the same time, so that the configurations are persistent and will apply to a whole game folder.
The idea is to set up a default retroarch config for mame/fbneo that will configure one of these devices as the default mouse (for example, the trackball), and create then just a file for rom folders that will be spinner specific.

For example, you have a roms/mame folder -> all games in there will work with the trackball by default, thanks to the global default config. Then you have roms/mame/spinner then for this folder, you will have to generate a retroarch "content configuration file" that will apply just for this folder, and set the mouse_index to the one of the spinner.

Trap: the retroarch menu will not let you save mouse_index configs, but will create the config files. You will have to add manually a line with player1_mouse_index = 2 for example...

We wrote a detailed guide (in french, use deepl.com to translate) with screenshots, etc. And we use it on several Retropie arcade cabinet that we built, that have both trackball and spinner in the control panel.

I 'solved' it by adjusting the controls in the RGUI. I just remapped the option of test menu to a coin insert since I can't remap it to another key. Not a real solution but for me in this case an acceptable workaround.

@lupin it may well be a generic thing that would affect the official retropie image also but they are not supported here because we don't know what has changed under the hood, and also do not want to encourage the distribution of illegal material under the retropie name, etc. the image maker calling it 'official' is particularly egregious...

@kenmetro said in Mame2010 or Mame2016 romset, which one should I keep?:

also have complete set of both Mame2010 and Mame2016. I don't want to keep both romset on my HDD and waste a lot of storage space for nothing. Could anyone suggest which romset should I keep for future use?

Keeping on-point, when possible, 2016 should trump 2010. For one thing, you could 7zip 2016 ROMsets and they'll work nicely. If you have any questions about compatibility, refer to my Arcade Recommendations List. You'll note that lr-fbneo is highly recommended, but you'll also note 2016 vs. 2010 compatibility for other ROMsets.

Hope this information is useful. It is also highly optimized, in case you just don't want multiple variations of some of your games. Or don't care about the 300+ Mahjong games, or gambling/casino games.

@jiryn said in Sound Issues with System 32 Games in MAME2003, 2010 and 2016 (Jurassic Park):

@barbudreadmon
Interesting, and I never use the controllers in bluetooth mood, they are always hard wired to the console with USBC
Never tried overclocking, just use it stock for the most part.

More interested in the best em ups anyways, but Jurassic Park was always a fav.

The Sega system 32 graphical rewrite circa MAME97-98 will always cause performance issues on lesser devices,
as @barbudreadmon suggested quite often this can cause skipping and or other sound issues. MAME2003
is one of the fastest cores and apart from that it uses the faster although slightly more imperfect system 32
video code from before the big rewrite i mentioned above.

So it might be your best bet to get the best performance on your device of choice and may sort your sound problems
when playing Jurassic Park it's worth a try at least.

@kounabi22
Meh...
I'll stick with a permanent preference for the PS2 version.
It's a game from 2000, yet the Graphics are The Tip of Everest!
Too bad PS2 Emulation is a train-wreck that's yet to be cleared up.

@jiryn map dpad and analog to UI under input general.

Mame2003 does not natively support analog so you'll need to use analog to digital after mapping your dpad.

Mame2003-plus does natively support analog

Make sure you're mapping (up dpad and up analog) to everything you want to be able to use either on.

You'll find MAME 2010 in the "optional" packages in RetroPie setup. It isn't installed ex-factory.

@McJones9631 https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#updatinginstalling-individual-packages

it's in the "optional" section

@Darksavior said in Mame 2015:

I'm not sure how well system16/18 is emulated in fbneo

Afaik system16 is fine, system18 is a different matter (among other things, i kinda remember there are tile priority issues) and would require a major rewrite to be glitch-free.

@nes as with the roms you will need the right CHD-Version for this rom-set.
btw - Killer Instinct will not run good even with a overclocked Pi4, so you might be dissapointed.

@roslof - Nice, that looks right, I appreciate the screenshot.

@pjft - Thanks for the tip on AdvMAME I'll give it try this weekend.

@mitu

Thanks for reply. From retropie website. I have been tinkering alot I've messed it up myself somehow following various guides for controller settings in mame. I might have to just start again with new image.

@shredman I have just had the same problem using a PS3 controller and fixed it by going into the retroarch config > controls, the analog stick buttons were configured to open the MAME menu and service mode. Turn them off and don't forget to save the Remap file (not Core overrides as mentioned in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15330/enabling-xbox360-analog-controls-in-lr-mame2003/3 )

@johnsorger6 How did you create the 7z archive ?
Can you run with verbose logging enabled and post the contents of the log file /dev/shm/runcommand.log on pastebin.com so we can take a look at what errors appear ?

Sorry for pinging you all, but I wanted to make you all aware that I missed two erotic games.

The games in question are Bubble 2000 (bubl2000) and Pang Pang (pangpang).

Sorry for missing them: especially so if any of you have children. Thank Malachiel from our Discord server for informing me about those two games. If any of you have found any games in the erotic, casino, mahjong, or quiz genres, then please let me know: especially so when it comes to the erotic ones.
