@publicENEMY There was a test build that let you select multiple entries with Ctrl-A, Ctrl-Click, and Shift-Click, but alas, the download link doesn't work anymore.

@markwkidd Maybe you could put it up again somewhere? I'm still using it and I find its selection controls very convenient. Alternatively, I could host it in my own Github repo with your permission. At the moment, only my local storage and its backups prevent this version from vanishing into oblivion …

(Oh, I just noticed that I already asked you this nine months ago. I don't want to bug you, just tell me to shut up about it and I will. 🤐 )

edit: According to his profile, markwkidds last login happened in May, 2019. So maybe we lost him entirely. 😟

Thanks @GtBFilms ... I was starting to wonder if we were going to have a #19 ;-)

Also, thank you @obsidianspider for filling in for @meleu again!

By the way, I'm using v0.37b5 ROMs on a v4.1 build of RetroPie (for RPi 1) in the mame-libretro folder in order to address an "insert coin" issue I was having with the select button on my XBox 360 wireless controller. The solution posted here...

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/879/mame-and-coin-up

...is what corrected my problem.

I've been Reading about this, and well, I don't have problems with my favourite games speed but yes I do have one single thing that bugs me and it's about Double Dragon 1. The game speed seems ok but the sound pitch is a Little higher than the original and sometimes sfx's sound really way too different from they actually are. Would this Hz thing fix that too?

@columboscoat
You're still quite knowledgeable and helpful though.

Sorry for the trouble man.

@GtBFilms @meleu gave me a link to his script and data file in a previous thread and I've been using that for the data, and to generate the new post I'm just "Quoting" the old post and then removing the > from the beginning of each line with a Find Replace to get the bulk of the content and then add the most recent MAME ROW and of course adjust the three games to choose from, etc.

That way you're not manually creating everything from scratch.

I can't access it but still I know that You can override it by just copy pasting text on the cell with data validation :/
Still just disabling any editing option will work fine. I don't trust any of those sheets but for me they are a list of compatible roms.

@bktrantam You should have mentioned your existing thread to avoid a parallel discussion. Just a friendly advice.

@Melvin.FoX i will. And if i still have issues i will post them.

@dankcushions Not picking a fight, not in the slightest. As far as I am concerned I have done nothing wrong. I see people being referred to search engines all the time. If I had posted a direct link I would apologise and move on. Archivedotorg is nothing more than a repository. Referring people to it breaks none of the forum's rules as far as I, and others, are concerned.
Where is the dotuk link in any of my "non-conforming" posts?

@obsidianspider hmm i would guess that it's in the .cfg file, which would be
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/cfg/gamename.cfg
or
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg/gamename.cfg
depending on where your rom is.

@rbaker Regarding Step 4, simply restarting EmulatiomStation will do the trick. No need to restart the whole system. At least in the last versions of RetroPie.

@Micky Please open a new topic instead of re-opening old ones.
Try to add some info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, and take a look at the arcade quick start from the Docs - just in-case you're not familiar with how arcade emulation works.

@rbaker Sorry for the late reply, it works fine in Emulationstation, in the menus and other emulators.

@Mobile.Rodri said in MAME Savestates not working in Retroarch:

@illuminerdi I was able to save state using Lr-mame2003. I tried several games and all worked. I can try a specific game but it seems ok. I forgot to get my version, I'll double check when I get to the train, but it's relatively recent. I updated right around Christmas.

It worked for me too with Neo Geo games with the emulator you mentioned. I don't use them when I play arcade games, you basically have unlimited coins in most games one coin is equal to 1 credit/life. You beat the majority of the games within a hour.

MAME ROW #17 is live!

@meleu google was my friend :/

If you're still using mame4all, then I don't think there's a solution - it's a known problem and since there's no new development is happening for this emulator, it's unlikely it got fixed. I think there was a recent topic with the same symptoms for the latest RetroPie version.

Otherwise, please open a new topic instead of bumping a 3 years old topic, and add some info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@waltisfrozen This was already changed - if you update to the latest retropie-setup it no longer uses md5 hashes by default, but just includes system and rom name minus extension /path (excluding all characters except a-z A-Z 0-9 _ - in the format system_romname

for per emulator settings, the format is emulator_romname
