@obsidianspider Oh, I misunderstood you.
I do enjoy MAME ROW too, but I only play the games I am interested. Last two weeks, it wasn't interesting and thats why it looks as if nobody want play anymore. And thats gonna to happen again, because its totally random. In fact, MAME ROW was the reason to me to stay on this forum. I even looked up all the old selected games to see if I can find something to include in my RetroPie collection. The value is great here!

On the other side, if you need assistance or a break, that would be understandable. Maybe someone can come in to the administration part here? Selection of games every 2 weeks sounds fair too. But if the games aren't interesting, then it would be too bad. You could decide on the fly, if the week will be extended. Like say a great game like Bubble Bobble appears (like it did) and many gamers are interested in playing it for highscores. Or like in the Tetris game we had several weeks ago. There was much more potential. Then you just say this week will be extended. And if we got games nobody seems to like, then a new selection is done. What do you think?

I even made a thread for this in General forum:

Aaand don't forget the weekly analysis from GtBFilms. Its always interesting to read it.

Hiya

Figured it out, there was a custom runcommand script that was being ran during launch of each emulator. Once that was disabled, it fixed the problem entirely.

@gtbfilms Its done. :-)
Update. Made it to second boss.

@jjr71 See point 5 of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

I use a 2 TB USB drive. It runs right off the PI without any power issues. Entire PSX library is around 800gb. Why stop at 64? 😁

On a technical level, this could happen by:

Get a copy of WolfMame 0.139, a copy of the MAME 0.139 source, and a copy of the current MAME 2010 source. Generate a source code diff between WolfMame 0.139 and MAME 0.139. Selectively apply the diff to MAME 2010 You have a libretro WolfMame core

The first two steps might take a couple of hours to figure out and set up in a filesystem tracked with git.

The last step could take hours, days, or weeks. If it took less than 10 days of work I think a coder would be proud. It's totally doable, and if someone took the lead they would probably get some help.

Maybe this would be good for a libretro bounty.

@thelostsoul I'm using my homebuilt Heath Robinson Golden Axe controller!

However I noticed from pictures of the original cab that it actually used buttons, not a joystick.

Thanks for the comments on my score - getting through the red zone on the first two screens gains you a lot of points. And actually they are relatively easy once you get the timing.

@udb23 Argh, thanks for reminding me. I wanted to copy the samples to the 4.4 sd card, but had to expand its partition first, and then I forgot to copy the samples … :P

Are you using a merged romset? Don't do that.

I just have to update the lr-fbalpha package right?

If you mean from binary, probably not. As said above you'll probably have to update from sources.

This worked! Thanks so much again!

I love the fold away control set.

On the first photo I was thinking "What is that semi circle thing? Is that a control knob?" and then I realized that it is the ceiling reflected. That does get me to a question. I know getting photos may be difficult, but how well does the screen show through when playing? These pics captured a lot of the reflection and so I was curious if that has been a problem for you while playing or if once back lite you can even tell there is a mirror in front.

MAME ROW #82 is live!

@thorr69 said in Tab not working in MAME:

Just curious if this was resolved. I am having the same problem but the posted solution doesn't work for me. My pi doesn't have that file in that directory and thus it cannot be deleted.

Please start a new thread with the requested information detailed at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Using that information, we'll be able to zero in on where the file is located.

If you like playing for highscores, then visit MAME ROW (its a subforum on this forum). We are currently playing Parodius.

MAME ROW #81 is live!

To me Pole Position I and II both work fine with lr-mame2003.
Check configuration here.

@thelostsoul

Well done. Don't stop until you topple 'V. T'. ;)

Try the MAME 0.139 version with lr-mame2010, I haven't tested but saw that it might work.
