@meleu
Yeah, I'm enjoying trying out some unknown games that I wouldn't normally know about, thanks for taking the time to organise this @meleu

@hiulit the libretro core of current mame is already available in retropie in the experimental menu - "lr-mame"

Created a new topic for this week:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4522/mame-row-3

Cheers!

Use the .078 Mame set.
Google this exact phrase (no quotes): MAME 078 non-merged rom
It is the Please no links to sites that host copyright roms site.
Some kind soul put all the parent pieces into the child ones to make a great set.
(Hopefully this is allowed as I am not directly linking to roms. If it isn't I apologize in advance, and please delete.)

yep :) i found that out too, sorry i didn't think to look for that. they still would not exit even after the move. here is my file for
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg , which is my 2 player joysticks/buttons . they both connect through a usb circuit board, plugged into the pi via usb.

i updated retropi via the menu system to the latest version. it added new items as well in emulation station i see, such as msdos.

Try to use the correct romcheck, if doesnt work, try with load the rom with fba-next, if not too, try to load with advmame (to configure your joypad press TAB), it happened to me with Night slashers (tryed 4 rom version, .78 romset and only advmame 1.4 launch the Night slashers korean 1.3v rom).

I remember running into this issue with Double Dragon. It was so long ago, I forgot what I ended up settling with. I know there is a Neo Geo version and I know there are other emulators that may play it better. You may just have to get some different rom versions and toy around with it.

@Cole_48

Haven't tried it myself, but I think it's your best option.

Port to macos
Get the script with the following command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/share/master/noclones_fba-next.sh --output noclones_fba-next.sh

on script replace the line 47:

if ! wget -O "$gamelist" "$gamelist_url"; then

by:

if ! curl "$gamelist_url" --output "$gamelist"; then

@itsnitro you can see the list in this post:

Works great

@thanosazlin said in runcommand for arcade rom missing other emulators:

They are not selling the retropie , it was just an added extra if u wanted after the fact , they don't even advertise such . Also it more of a convince for not so tech consumers I guess , which is not I ;) .

Anyway , I just looking for resolution , not lectures or slaps on the head for something im not in control of. I mean both are the same retropie in the end , I was just looking for simple help as a consumer LOL. Didn't expect that type of reaction .

Well, it is a PITA to be expected to support "customised" versions of RetroPie, but it is against the licence of much of the software to provide an image with a commercial product - https://retropie.org.uk/documentation/legal-contact/

Even if the image is "free". You could argue that it is added value to the product anyway - which is why people do it, rather than just linking to the RetroPie site for a download as we ask.

And much of the time these "included" images are also packed with copyrighted games too, which further damages our name and our project (Like the problems Kodi have).

A vendor wants to include the RetroPie image with their product against the emulator licences and our wishes - sure we can't stop them - but we can certainly ask their customers to go to them for help.

@allenpie that's great I will send you a message at the weekend. If the Vm is Windows then it will run as for samba as long as you have read write permissions for set the directory as a network drive it will be fine. Hoping that you will be able to help fine tune the program as at the moment it's all done from my point of view! Thanks!

@battlecat said in Mame Logo Variations:

@dankcushions Hey there. I was playing with RetroPie and MAME last night. I noticed that in one version of MAME I think MAME 2003 R-Type Leo has no audio. When I loaded it from the mame4all version I had audio.

This is the kind of thing that requires me to keep both MAMEs active so that I can get working versions of all my roms.

Thanks,
BC

works fine for me in mame2003.

If anyone gets the error "pacdrive: error while loading shared libraries: libhid.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" with Retropie 4.4 on a Raspberry Pi, use this command to fix it:

sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libhid.* /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

It will move the libhid files to the correct location where pacdrive can find them.

@Pyjamarama said in AdvMame and MAME2003 simultanesously?:

Is there artwork that makes AdvMAME set apart from MAME in the GUI?

Ahh, I get it now. Yes, you can do this:

See this thread with graphics to match:

@meleu Yeah

If your aim here is to play these games with two controllers but still choose the player you want, try using the 2-player clones.

For example, tmnt2po lets each player choose which turtle they want to be.

Yeah good point, the FBA emulators also run recent MAME romsets, those are worth a try too.

You can also run the very latest lr-mame on RetroPie.

However, even the latest MAME doesn't have the 2D games right. If you truly want to play these games, fix their emulation in mainline MAME then consider backporting them to earlier stable MAME libretro cores.

At this point you really need to start using the search feature. These questions are very basic setup ones.

Last freebie: Use TAB key to access Mame controller configuration. Yes, you should have a keyboard handy when configuring Mame.
