ok cool appreciate your help.

Just managed to figure out!! I SSH'ed into the box running retropi and ran emulationstation from that console . When i did that, emulationstation appeared on TV (great). When i ran game, i saw a menu that says to press a button to configure, and there I've seen to run with verbose logging. When game exited, i opened up /dev/shm/runcommand.log file and saw that umk3-u2.bin file was missing. So I've kept on looking for 0.78 romset mk3 files until i found that there is umk3-u2.bin file in one of them ! When i found it, I've copied that one to arcade dir and ran it without issues!!! I love mk3 ! Now all i have to do is find my notebook with special moves written on it for every character which i collected during old days ! Ahhhh, that takes me back! Thank you, all of you for assisting ! Would not have done it without you!

I was testing the controller parsing utility of LEDSpicer when I found that was not working for that emulator on the retropie, so I used a different approach, now is working, I found out that I cannot depend on other programs functionality.

@arcadez2003 i see, thx for Info. My Problem is that i cant stop once i have speed and the whole game becomes terrible hectic. But maybe i just have to practice 😉

@jarhead0313 I wouldn't post multiple times about the same issue. Which MAME emulator? Seems like you have mapped the buttons incorrectly. Tell us more about the setup according to https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first How did you configure?

@shoebox low voltage can cause big problems, underclocking is one of them. I would skip the canakit power supply as they are one of the less reliable and go straight to the official raspberry pi power supply.

I am not sure if you are still having the same issue, but I was experiencing the same thing after the latest update. I was able to fix the issue in the input settings by setting throttle, frameskip dec, and frameskip inc to ‘none’ (which can be achieved by hitting esc). For some reason when hit joystick directions I was randomly registering F## keyboard presses as well. I noticed this when binding some other controls. Not sure why, but those options above are tied to f8, f9, and f10 and seemed to be causing the problem. I hope this helps.

@mediamogul said in Using xboxdrv with mame4all/advmame: At this point, the only suggestion I can make to move forward is to reinstall RetroPie using the official image. I would also recommend re-configuring your network to allow a direct connection to your Pi so that you can troubleshoot these types of issues more effectively. I had to rework my entire network configuration about two weeks ago, so I know it's a pain. However, as it stands, you're working at a huge disadvantage by not being able to fully relay the exact contents of these configuration files and error logs. Yeah, redoing my network is something I'd like to do at some point anyway to simplify working with some things, but it's not something I'm prepared to do right away. Nor is re-flashing the SD card, although I recognize that would simplify a few things. (I'd have to save some of the info I've already setup, like my onstart/onend scripts, but that's okay.) I may have to go forward with the system as it is now and look into getting the rest of this working at a later date.

@pandamkii There's a lot that you need to go over and learn when first dealing with MAME. You should start here and move forward into the docs as needed.

@m0riarty Better response might be from the better performance of the emulator tested. MAME4ALL is based on an old mame version is no longer developed, things have improved over time. If you wish to investigate more, head on over to the docs and you can see all the available arcade emulators on RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/

@norbit2 said in Need Help with getting a B-Wings ROM to work in MAME4ALL: Does anyone have a link to a B-Wing ROM that would work for me? I think your issue is mame4all nor lr-mame2000 support B-Wings. You'll need to upgrade to lr-mame2003 for it to work.

Figured out how to do it indirectly. In \retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg <system> <name>mame-mame4all</name> <fullname>Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/roms</path> <extension>.zip .ZIP</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS mame-mame4all %ROM%</command> <platform>arcade</platform> <theme>mame-mame4all</theme> </system> In \retropie\configs\mame-mame4all\mame.cfg rompath=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all samplepath=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/samples Put all game zips in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/ Duplicate empty zero byte zip file names under /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/roms to generate the menu in subdirs. This also fixes issue where sample.zips shows up in emulation station menu.

After using ClrMamePro and updating my ROM set... and finding out that i didn't have to go through all of that.... i already had the correct ROM set version. All i had to do was copy over dkong.zip and then ReStart EmulationStation. Donkey Kong showed up and played just fine after that. Thanks for all the Great Advice.!!!!! Later, David, ThunderBoyDavid

@starfry said in Can I limit the frame rate of MAME emulation?: here is a list of games that I've tried in MAME and found to play fast: dkong.zip galaga.zip mrdo.zip pacman.zip invaders.zip phoenix.zip scramble.zip we have a compatibility sheet which doesn't seem to detail any issues with these games: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SHspjyHavY9-PKbO2swDr52BS2Wl_mB_Vjx2Z1SXiD8/edit#gid=828747670 my only guess is that you have a keyboard or some other device that is pressing F10, which apparently toggles the throttle: see readme at https://github.com/RetroPie/mame4all-pi

@eskodisk Out of curiosity... I was looking through some of the Arcade1up forums. Apparently some of them use Mame2000 (as well as other Mame versions, RetroArch, and remnants of Retropie). Their are problems already identified that may be helpful. High-scores was one of them. The guy who is leading the 1UP hacking charge has a thread on Reddit, but he doesn't know anything about Retropie, RetroArch, or Libreto, and was asking for help... if anyone wants to help him. ; ) https://www.reddit.com/r/Arcade1Up/comments/a02870/hack_original_board_not_just_replace_w_pietc/

@andrewlee32 Listen, MAME has made better men than you weep for their mothers! Your best bet for a good grounding is getting ROMs from the MAME 0.78 reference set, maybe you could google that... Put them in the Arcade folder and choose lr-mame2003 as the default. That is my VERY quick start guide to MAME.

@weed_snorkeler said in Changing the menu key in mame4all: @riverstorm I don't have a desktop, I only have a laptop. I've been turning off my Pi and editing the config files from the sd card. I'm going to need to get a keyboard some time soon though, I need one. Ah, that makes sense! I was like this is a first. I do keep an extra keyboard and mouse handy and also the Logitech K400 Plus (wireless w/dongle) which I mainly use for the Pi as it's has an almost full size keyboard, glide/mouse pad off to the right (all-in-one) and the USB dongle is the micro type. It's well suited for doing tweaks in front of the TV. They always seem to be on sale every few months at half price for $20. Ok, I'll try it. I used mame4all because I heard it had the best performance. Thanks for the tip. We were having a discussion if mame4all is a valid emulator in this thread (the last 3 or 4 posts). I am a strong advocate for mame4all-pi for the reason you stated and few others. I think the feature and ROM differences are subjective to your needs and I'm not sure if anyone has done any type of actual benchmarking as to which runs games better/smoother framerates. I was a die-hard mame4all-pi user and only converted due to some feature enhancements. I do use lr-mame2003 as my default @dankcushions has made some nice tweaks to improving lr-mame2003 over time. Another thing I don't care for that wasn't listed in that thread is when you pause in lr-mame2003 the screen goes blank/black which seems simple enough but it's a bit annoying for some reason when you're used to mame4all-pi where the screen is "froze" on pause. It helps to see where you're at before un-pausing. It's easy enough to get around by disabling pause in lr-mame2003 and using Retroarch to pause but I had a dedicated P button on my box that no longer works but the joystick is fine. For me it's minor issues/polish but not enough to stop me from using lr-mame2003 and I do keep mame4all-pi ROM set handy if needed. I think mame4all-pi is so universally ported it will always have a place. I would try both if even for contrast. I have it on a iPad even and it runs well but there's not much to say for the controls on a touch screen. :)
