Just tested it and It does work in regular 2003 also.

Oddly enough one of the best ports of Spy Hunter was for PalmOS. You controlled the speed and position of the car with stylus taps and used the bottom buttons for the weapons. Was a very nice version.

Mame builds are single threaded? Can they be compiled for multi? (I want to play cave games at full speed-_-;)

MAME ROW #162 is live

For MAME I had to change the database to TheArcadeDB. Should there be many videos for MAME as it didn’t seem to get any

@sirhenrythe5th Just did it by changing the User 1 Input Binds under Settings>Input, then Saving Autoconfig. Really really hope I haven't just saved a new set of control overrides for all FBNeo games :(

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Which MAME emulator are you using ?

@quicksilver Awesome job on the fairly grueling calibration of Hard Drivin. Can you, by chance..please share your nvram for this or any other similarly minded games! That would be absolutely awesome! I am hoping to do as many of the more complicated Racing Game calibrations, as feasibly possible. And, these calibrations, we can make permanent, code wise, too! That way, noone will have to calibrate them in future revisions of our MAME code base:) Already have many done, such as Carnevil, Terminator 2, Revolution X, etc, etc.

@victimrlsh I just played some Hyper Pacman (by Semicom) which I thought was only a Pac-Man (by Namco) clone, but I think it's actually cooler. It's Pac-Man, BUT the mazes are much different, you can collect a helmet which allows you to shoot the ghosts (what?), and you get "shoes with wings" that allow you to jump over the ghosts. There's probably more odd pickups, but I just played once and then wrote this. I love oddball stuff. And it's two-player simultaneous! (I thought Pac-Man Arrangement was the only two-player simultaneous arcade Pac-Man game.)

(Hyper PacMan 2 [sequel by a different Korean company] is a fun bootleg of a bootleg that's only found in the Puzzle King multi-cade). It's just wacky. You're in the topics... with a spreadshot shooting ghosts... as Pac-Man. Odd. Ball. XD

@Riverstorm Just thought I'd reply to say thanks for the detailed response to my post! There's a lot of information there, but the combination of LaunchBox and BigBox is a great fit for me. I just grabbed the latest version of MAME, matching ROM set (actually the same as the ones I tried with RP), pointed LB at the ROMs and left it to pull in all the associated imagery, videos, marquees, information etc etc. Took it about 8 hours, but the setup is working really well with minimal effort, honestly. I'm mostly a hardware engineer (PCB and FPGA design, but also MCU programming in C/C++ and ASM) and don't have as much time for tinkering as I'd like at the moment - quarantine hasn't lessened my workload!

Yes that old server originally had 3 GTX1060s installed as it was used by me mostly for CUDA and machine learning development. I was training some models on it, and the GPUs obviously are hugely faster than an i5 - or any CPU - for that type of processing. Those GPUs had never even been plugged into a monitor before now :) I took 2 out as there's no point having 3 to run MAME - especially as they are not SLI capable! My main server is used mostly for storage and some command line tool development, and has a more standard spec - just lots of RAID disk space and memory!

Thanks again, and have a nice day!

Oh, yes the box was initially using the NVidia drivers, and I did use glxinfo, and was actually using the Nvidia desktop config tool. As said, it was weird, but I didn't spend too much time on it.

Also i have found out i needed to update all emulators from within Retropie-setup. i seems the achievements normally only work with the latest versions of the emulators.

Thanks that must have been it, I got it to play with lr-fbneo. Buttons are all now mapped a little differently but looks like I can override that.

Thanks for the help.

@henryjfry said in Certain systems dont work from NFS share:

Would adding async to my fstab improve things do you think?

The async option would be ok, but I don't know if it would solve anything. You can just try different mount options - the less mount options you have, the easier it would be to test different combinations.

@sirhenrythe5th said in Totally confused with MAME:

I also prefer FB-Neo for NeoGeo

NeoGeo is one of the few systems where FBNeo has an edge even against current MAME (let alone a 17 years old version of MAME), so yeah, i recommend it.

MAME ROW #160 is live!

@iamoasis said in Double Dragon (MAME):

some spreadsheets that show games that have been tested on different emulators

Some entries in those spreadsheets are wrong though, because some of the testers didn't follow the "pick an emulator then pick the right romsets for that emulator" rule.

It's not end-user friendly but it's possible..

You would have to compile it for pi (if available), add it to the emulators folder and edit it into the config files and es_system.cfg

That's how I have Mame4Rage2 and Supermodel running on my x86 build.
