Mame4allpi

TheBear123

Hi, I Can’t find out to install MAME4allpi on my Raspberry Pi. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Brigane

@thebear123 Sure this is possible but you need to give us more info so we can determine the problem you're having.

@thebear123 Mame4all-pi should already be installed. Place your 0.37b5 roms in the mame-mame4all folder and you should be good to go.

TheBear123

@dudleydes Doesn't work. I use retropie 4,2 though, maybe that has something to do with it!

@thebear123 We will need more information than doesn't work I'm afraid. Wrong romset ? mame4all is included in RetroPie 4.2 and does work with the correct romset.

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

TheBear123

I also saw that it couldn't find files that were in the folder. That is wierd

BuZz

@thebear123 You probably have the wrong romset. You need to provide more information. Also read https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/

TheBear123

No, I have the correct romset

BuZz

@thebear123 Then we will need more information as detailed in the post I linked. a log from runcommand would be useful also.

@thebear123 press a key when launching the rom, and launch in "verbose mode" from runcommand. Then paste the runcommand log from /dev/shm/runcommand.log (accessible via sftp or ssh)

You don't mention which rom you are launching. Perhaps you can give the filename and contents etc.

TheBear123

Verbose mode is not an option...

BuZz

@thebear123 my mistake (I was thinking of the libretro core) - just launch normally, and the log file will be available afterwards.

Parameters:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all/mame "Ms. Pac-Man"
Game "Ms. Pac-Man" not supported

@thebear123 did you unpack the roms? - looks like you have the wrong rom names - they also should not be unpacked and do not contain spaces. Please show me the rom you are trying to launch.

TheBear123

@buzz Does it matter What the names are? Really? Then Thats probably Why They stopped working in the first place!

@thebear123 said in Mame4allpi:

Does it matter What the names are? Really?

Don't rename anything, no roms, nothing. Keep all as is or you'll be in all sorts of trouble! So did you unzip them? What is the rom?

jonnykesh

@thebear123 Yes. It very much matters in MAME. The emulator is looking for a specific ROM name as MAME ROMs have a standard naming convention.
