Romset 0.78 No Change:
Asura Buster (asurabus) - Working fine but i have an echo and sound play two times. No problem with FBA.
Asura Blade (asurabld) - Working fine
Double Dragon (ddragon) - Working fine but some slowdown not on FBA
Power Instinct Legends (plegends) - Working fine

Snowboard Championship Work (snowboar) - Impossible to make it load -
Rom from other Romset to replace :
Counter Run (countrnb) - Working fine
Lode Runner The Dig Fight (loderndf) - Impossible to make it load. Working fine with 2 screens on FBA. -
New Rom :
Go Go! Mile Smile (gogomile) - Working fine
Hyper Street Fighter II - Aniversary edition (hsf2a) - Working fine. Same as hsf2 on FBA
Vasara 2 (vasara2) - Working fine but music is slow ... -
For NEOGEO i don't know what set of rom i must to try ???

@darknior thank you for your ongoing notes. I plan to create a new DAT for just the added/changes romsets once the changes slow down. Your notes are helpful.
-
@markwkidd Great idea!

Ok thanks it will for sure.
I will continue to test the games added to make report to @gamez-fan
I wish it will help to correct bugs. -
For Neogeo all Roms and the Bios are still MAME78!! Except for the ones i recently added @darknior as i mentioned to ya on the github
use the NeoGeo Roms from your MAMEoXtras set for the newly supported ones. -

Sound is not 100% in this one i just added it while hooking up the sound for Asura Blade in MAME78

Lode Runner The Dig Fight (loderndf) - Impossible to make it load.What's the problem exactly..?? i need more info than the above ;)

Go Go! Mile Smile (gogomile) - Working fine
I had no input with the above game it's already supported in MAME78 but thanks for the credit anyway :)

Vasara 2 (vasara2) - Working fine but music is slow ...
Check Vasara for me please to see if that game also has slow music tempo.

Hey gamez. Great to see you over here as well!
Thanks for whatever you do on the Mame end. I'm afraid it will probably be quite a while until I get a pi 3 and do any arcade related stuff myself, but it's awesome to see that you're on the case. It's in great hands. :)

I can't really help, i launch them, i have the black screen like if the game will start, and it come back to ES.

Just boot Vasara in this Emulator and tell me if the sound is slow in this game or not.

ThanksYes but you have to do it via the dip switch options look for monitors and select A Only
PORT_START // port F PORT_DIPNAME( 0x03, 0x01, "Monitors" ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x01, "A only" ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x03, "A and B" ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x02, "B only" )

FIX - Might as well get Title Fight to work (titlef) - https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/156

The video above is from newer MAME where they totally broke the background Gfx, in MAME78 with the older video code it'll look more like this.......

Not perfect but better than having none at all :)

FIX - Make Air Rescue Work (arescue) https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/157

FIX : Optional Williams sound with the speedups : https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/159
Removed in MAME61 these are the speedhacks that will significantly boost performance
in the following Midway games..........All Midway Y-Unit
All Midway T-Unit barring MK2 which uses DCS soundThis could be of great benefit for users of this MAME core on lesser hardware. Drivers that will be affected by this change...
- mcr68.c
- midtunit.c
- midyunit.c
- williams.c
- mcr_sndhrdw..c
-
Might as well add Puzz Loop 2 which was playable from MAME 93.u2, this is the last of the later CPS dumps which can be added to the MAME78 codebase due to changes with the XOR decryption handling from MAME100 onwards.
https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/160

https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/162
0.91: David Haywood increased interleave in MegaSys1 driver, fixing speed in Avenging Spirit.
-
Two possibly very simplistic questions...
-
To take advantage of these improvements and backports, does one simply need to update lr-mame2003 from source?
-
Does one still use the 0.78 roms, or does one need earlier/later roms to account for the changes being made?
Thanks in advance,
Rob -

I was really hoping that openice would be one of the games that would get these speed boosts. Oh well. Right now, it runs with slowdown on mame2003 and runs perfect speed on anything older but nvram doesn't get written out so it's useless.
