@morpie said in RPI 4.2 Mame 2003 SF2 button mapping changed?:

I never changed my config and haven't gone into ES to confirm if there is a difference but when I use FBA my buttons are A-OK in Gunsmoke. Lr-Mame, no... Weird.

Also curious... when others are inputting buttons... do you follow the GitHub diagrams or the labels on your controller? That may flip things if you aren't careful. But you'd notice in other emulators. 360 pad has the buttons labeled so that A and B and X and Y are swapped... I see lots of people mentioning buttons. If I press my A button when it asks and B when it asks, I would have them reversed... Which made console games I am more familiar with just weird.

it's tricky but they had to choose a standard, and the SNES pad was it. i think when you bind through emulationstation/retroarch it says 'B (bottom)', 'A (right)', etc, but even if you go by the positions, the layout might feel better but you'll still have situations where a game will tell you to press the 'A' button, and then you'll have to press your 'B' button, etc.

so i just use a SNES-type pad :)

@meanliar What @caver01 said is what I'd do. You can press R2 on your controller, and then edit the controls for "this game". I set L1/R1 to those.

The script can be handled with joysticks now!

Great, thanks!
Will try it out over the weekend.

@illando said in Multiple mice support in RetroArch cores (lightguns, spinners, trackballs):

Not a real fix but I solved pressing "f" and "g" keyboard keys, placing the player2 crosshair in the bottom right corner. :)

Not a real fix, but an incredible simulation. ;)

I can confirm 'Point Blank' refused to launch on AdvanceMAME 3.6 but it works using AdvanceMAME 1.4 core.

Ah, good to know.

yeah read about that and tried to do the same on the pi3 but no joy sadly :(

@mediamogul said in some MAME ROMs do not fully load using lr-mame2010 emulator:

0.139 MAME ROM

@mediamogul

I was not sure, so I deleted this ROM and downloaded a new one for the same game from this set. And it works!!!! Thank you!

you can see what games are supported by retropie's various arcade and mame cores by looking at the compatibility lists here:

No problem.
Have great fun installing retropie and playing with your brand new RPi3 :)

Thank you for posting this!

I used Savestate not to get this score, but to train any point where I was having a problem, particularly bosses. Just keep restoring state and replay every sticking point (even if you win) until you have it down pat. The 4th boss was just too tough to get through on one play for me now matter how hard I trained it, but there are peeps on Youtube that have played through the whole game both times (there is a 'secret' ending after the 2nd play through)

Don't forget that unlike virtually all other vertical shumps with bombs, your supply of bombs is restored after each boss win, so don't be shy about using bombs first at the tricky spots in the boss battle, then worry about dodging.
