@mitu It's working perfectly with box86-0.2.2.

Here is my script that runs UT2004 natively at full speed on Piboy XRS through EmulationStation with mapped controls. We must go into the UT System folder before launching ut2004.bin to avoid "MissingIni" error.

if pgrep xboxdrv; then sudo killall -s SIGKILL xboxdrv > /dev/null; fi cd sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --config /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/PiboyXRS_unreal_xboxdrv.cfg > /dev/null \ & cd cd '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/UT2004/System/' xinit /home/pi/box86-0.2.2/build/box86 'ut2004-bin' > /dev/null 2>&1 sleep 1 sudo killall -s SIGKILL xboxdrv > /dev/null

The PiboyXRS_unreal_xboxdrv.cfg file :
(Should be working with any gamepad with adjustments)

You can adjust some keys in UT controls parameters in game instead modify this .cfg that can be used for ohters FPS games.

Thanks for your help.

@wstanek That's a nice idea, but you have no way of downloading the database of information.

@iandaemon I really have to finish that cocktail cabinet rebuild to get back to Grobda.

MAME ROW #177 is now live!

@sirhenrythe5th I recently introduced friends to Robotron 2084 and Cloak and Dagger. Both great dual stick games!

The version of Asteroids that's included in the 3-in-1 GameboyAdvance cartridge is nice. You seem to have unlimited warps although I can't figure out if you can control them or not. (Was the original like this? I know in "Deluxe" you had three shields.) You can select between two or three backgrounds during the game which is nice.

The game seems MUCH easier on the GBA , but considering this was a "kid's console" I guess it shouldn't be surprising. I quite like this version. Initially all I played on this cart was Yar's Revenge (not Pong or Asteroids), but now this is another classic arcade game to add to my list.

@sirhenrythe5th I'd really like to see the high score table :)

Tangent intro: a few years back, after noticing that I had a lot of MAME games that I should like but ended up not playing them very much because the process wasn't fun enough, I read an article which is no longer online that made me understand why: https://web.archive.org/web/20181120043643/http://insomnia.ac/commentary/arcade_culture/

I ended up learning that this author seems to have some strong opinions on some topics, and tends to write in a controversial tone, but this specific article I save to this day because it changed the way I played MAME games - and made them so much better as a result - precisely because of what you just said very subtly, "don't play anything with continues".

As such, I set up a collection on RetroPie where I'd keep some games that I'd just play over and over again, 1 credit at a time, to see how far I'd make it. In the beginning they were Final Fight, Contra and DoDonPachi - I don't think I had any others in my "regular" list. It took me a while to consistently get to the first @mitu score, and afterwards making it to the high score list was an extremely rewarding achievement - that's why I want to congratulate @IanDaemon and @mitu on their scores during just the MAME ROW period! I certainly didn't get to have a score in the high score table in the first week.

These days I get to the end of level 2 boss consistently, and the majority of the time I get to the 3rd level and lose somewhere around there.

My top score is 8.5M, 4th level - I don't think I ever made it past it with 1 credit.

Still, a lot to learn, but it's one of my favorite games from these past 2-3 years that I've played it. I didn't take part in MAME ROW because I didn't have time, but I'd love to try it out and submit a new score if I get to the high score table again.

But do share your score, really - impressive achievement 1cc'ing this game :) Hope to get there one day.

MAME ROW #172 is now live!

I had my weeks mixed up so apologies for the delay. MAME ROW #170 is live!

I didn't know about this game until the "MAME RoW" and I still play it to this day. It's dig it. @obsidianspider Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, but MAME ROW #168 is now live

MAME ROW #167 is now live!

This is the only "beat 'em up" I put on my cocktail cabinet. I use a split-screen shader for simultaneous two-player. It's different from what I'm used to (being a non-Capcom-beat-em-up), but I like it. Thanks MAME RoW for re-introducing me!

MAME ROW #165 is now live!

Oddly enough one of the best ports of Spy Hunter was for PalmOS. You controlled the speed and position of the car with stylus taps and used the bottom buttons for the weapons. Was a very nice version.
