MAME ROW #106 is now live

Found a solution:

720 Degrees (revision 4) on lr-mame2003 (I think I unzipped 720 and 720 rev 4, merged the contents then rezipped as 720.zip).

Paperboy (revision 3) also on lr-mame2003.

Both work very nicely now, with no nasty tearing/glitching effects.

@George Create a PR on the Retropie-Setup repository - github.com/retropie/Retropie-Setup.

Thanks @mitu. I just submitted a pull request. Had to do a little file cleanup to eliminate some previous versions I had committed under the same branch.

Thanks again for all the help!

@limkuncui @mitu macros disappeared from the core options menu, but some are available from the controls menu

Thanks. Got it working with the first set of instructions.

I have also removed the links.

World Class Bowling is a hoot.

It worked like a charm... thanks for the code dudleydes.

If anyone else is thinking about doing something similar, please bear in mind that you will also need to copy the Mame configurations (overwrite the mame folder in arcade), otherwise you'll loose your keyboard mappings and other configurations.

Cheers,

@amishgamer Have you tried the suggestion in the docs for the config hierarchy ? Create a romname.cfg file alonside your ROM file and put there the setting you'd like.

@amishgamer Yeah, I forgot to use Clone Spy for automatic removal. Found out about that two days ago. Also, there are a few more differently named duplicates that I'm slowly removing for a full release.

I'm currently working on my ideal ROM set of USA>World/Europe>Japan, but I suppose I can fix up those batch files in the meantime.

Also, I just found out about this simple program for building ROM sets. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15233/mame-set-rebuilder

@melbmatt50 You are limited by the romset. AdvanceMAME may have the other games you require. Which games are you wishing to run? Post here and people can tell you what they use.

@chemdream said in Libretro-Mame-Latest (experimental):

I swear I googled this and couldn't find it.

If I installed the experimental package of mame-latest, does that install mame 0.200(or whatever the latest is at the time of reading this) core? Or will it install a different version. I wasn't sure how fast mame releases were turned into cores.

I have the latest updates of RPie/Emulation station on AMD Ryzen, Ubuntu 18.04.1.

Thanks!

The repository for libretro/mame merges the new MAME code in usually within a week or 2 of a new MAME release.

So the current lr-mame code includes all the mame0.200, changes in mame 0.201 will be added in in about a week or so (ish)

@cyperghost I agree with you...wish I would have thought of that myself! xD

@mitu with regards to the information which you said has the details of requirements to run the roms, is this something that is contained in something like a text file that is in the rom zip or where would i find that information?

Some of the games that I have attempted to scrape artwork for, I haven't been able to find artwork on the site that it uses. I have seen that there are Youtube videos which allow you to create it manually but these seem to involve many steps and I was just wondering if there's an easier way to do it.

in all honesty its easy to setup but you need to understand ra and it needs documented you can go back to the old way like above or set up up in controls both work im sure mark will get round to documenting it for people

Thanks!
