@archie456 note that mame4all is redundant on pi3. see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Arcade#step-1-choose-your-arcade-emulators

FWIW, I ran into this issue as well after updating. Going into Raspi-Config and changing the audio from Auto to HDMI fixed the issue for me.

TLDR; -- map your USB encoder to match USB console pads

REYANN ENCODER appears to work best as
0:B, 1:A, 2:R1, 3:Y, 4:X, 5: L1, 6: L2, 7:R2, 8:SELECT, 9: START

Did some more work with this. The joysticks work great when (when mapping of multiple are the same - as discussed). There was an issue where I started to need to remap per system if I was using USB console-like controllers.

It started out to be fine, then started to become a pain - especially once I found and started to use this GEM by @meleu
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/740/having-more-than-one-player-1/18

Since one set was remap, and the other wasnt, the graceful fallback didnt work.

I rewired the USB encoder pins and its all working great. PIN:BUTTON layout at the top. LOVE I

One reason the roms don't show up could be the Option "Parse Gamelists Only" in Emulation Station's Main Menu -> Other Settings (Screenshot). It should be set to OFF to see every zip file in the rom directories in Emulation station. If they will run, however, depends on the correct rom/emulator combination, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/.

@victimrlsh I know it's meant to have a rotary with push-down for fire, with a separate single "grenade/enter tank" button in the middle of the panel.... so I did the best I could with my panel and it works fairly well.

I have a split two-player joystick setup... left joystick is set to be the player control, right joystick is the gun/turret position control. Directly below and next to the right joystick, I have two buttons for the old school "two-player" games. The button closest to the joystick I can hit with the base of my hand, or just point the joystick and drop down to fire continuously. So that became the "fire" button. The adjacent button is the "grenade/enter tank" button, which I can slap or hit quick with my other finger, then jump back on the joystick.. etc.

Also.... my Joysticks on this particular cabinet are original Wico leaf-button sticks. I tried using the newer cherry switch style buttons that I have on another cabinet.. but the feel is not the same.

If you need a pic, let me know.

Didn't you already asked this a couple months ago ?
You got an answer on how to set-up your keys in Emulationstation - did you try applying the steps there to configure your controller ?

Another question: can I switch of the emulator type display in favourites, that thing in brackets:
MOON PATROL [MAME-LIBRETRO]

I think this should be possible for custom collections, though your version of Emulationstation is a bit old for that. How did you install RetroPie ?

All the trackballs are pretty much the same.
The hardest part is make sure you use multimouse in MAME settings if you have more than 1 mouse device, as you want to be able to set device specific sensistivity values.

You can figure out per games sensivity values with some info from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160421175734/http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Spinner_Turn_Count

@IanDaemon Nice score! I went with advmame 1.4 to get the sound working.

Perfect. I never would have found it.

I set the to fast forward parameters to null. It's working as I would like now.

Thanks!

@showstopper said in FBA Neo Romset help?:

For the HBMAME bit is there a list of the files that are required?

No, sorry, but apart from the few dkong hacks i added a few weeks ago (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23549/donkey-kong-spooky-remix-in-retropie), i expect most of them to be also available from older FBNeo/FBAlpha romsets.

MAME ROW #149 is live. We'll close voting on Thursday this week.

@mitu THANK YOU VERY MUCH! you are the best!
With this advice you save me tons of hours.

@cyperghost

Unfortunately I didn't get much chance to play anything, as I was accompanied by my 5 year old son for the first time, and he was more interested in the merchandise in the trade hall - picking up a Golden Mario and a bunch of Star Wars figures.

They always have a stand-up Star Wars machine there, which is my favourite one - I have great nostalgic memories of playing that in wet October holidays on our annual trip to visit my grandparents.

Apparently they also had the sit-down version of the Star Wars cab this year, but I didn't see it.

I think the vector graphics still look pretty good and haven't really aged as much as some of the other technology around at the time.

They had quite a few sit-down cabs this time actually, which was new, and a bunch of Candy cabs as well.

My favourite one to see, if perhaps not to play, was an ancient old Video Pinball one they had a couple of years back.

MAME ROW #147 is live!

I just got it to work for me in my retropie in emulation station 2.11.

I kept the name of the rom as dkspkyrmx.zip, dropped it in the rom folder, set the emulator to advmame and set the emulator to lr-fbneo and it worked no prob.

@jodiefoster clrmamepro works, you are either not using it properly or using the wrong dat file

@jodiefoster said in Question about mame roms(please read all):

their is no 100% accurate .dat out there you will find

Those dat files are directly generated by the emulator using its own code, they are 100% accurate by definition.

You can use CLRMAME pro and dat files.

It's free.
