@mitu I read through that thread and I can't seem to figure out if they agreed that it was a core problem or a retroarch problem. In either case it seems that the problem was never addressed.

I thought that save states would be a good workaround but that doesn't solve the problem of having to disk swap between game areas. not to mention, the save states are named after the disks rather than the m3u file so any save after the first one made must be renamed in order to be used.

is there a way to force the core into naming the save state a certain way?

edit: I'm an idiot. loading creates new disk drives to the index. you just need to pick the proper index slot, hit insert and that's that. arggagahha

@adambegood said in Old Computer Appreciation Thread:

@folly Let me have a play and report back. I'll have a look at the log.

Yes you should check that.

Other games do work on MAME for FM Towns. lr-mess is the same story.

Strange !
If this works than it looks like the files of Mad Stalker are wrong somehow.
I tested the version I recommended, unzipped and running the .cue should work.

Edit: is this the island postie job? Glad you didn't get rained on.

Not today, but I still do that, often, twice a week.

@folly No worries. You should play it. I really enjoyed that game, except for the final boss!

@folly Thinking about it, is it possible it might work on other cores? Is it a functionality all the lr cores share?
