      Hey there!

      Just wondered if we will ever have superb BBC Micro emulation working nicely?

      alt text

      I would love to be able to play these:
      FRAK! (1984), Exile(1988), Revs (1984), Chuckie Egg (1983), Repton (1985), Elite (1984), Citadel (1985), Snapper (1982), Daredevil Dennis (1984), Stryker's Run (1986), to name a few...

      Any way of playing these games though emulation station just like we play SNES games? (hopes)

        I've been bugging @BuZz for years but he's got enough on his plate without me harassing him on a daily basis (I do anyways!)

        There are ways through advmess/ beebem but both have downsides/are a little complicated to sort out/have bugs.

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

            @nevsan I had it running in Advance MAME/MESS 3.x but I had no idea what I was doing, as I have never used a BBC Micro, let alone had any software for it. However, it did boot successfully. I cannot speak for performance, but I am using Advance MAME/MESS as my Apple II emulator and it works fine.

              You’ve just listed my childhood! Add in Space Adventure and I’ve got a full house:) I have a pi2 (won’t work with a 3) with risc os and a bbc emulator on there to get around the (avid) wait. I haven’t yet got a compatible joystick or even the knowledge to get one to work in order to complete my youth, but just being able to play the old games is close to heaven! I’ve no doubt bbc emulation will happen within RetroPie, and no desire to push for it, what with so much else going on. But, needs must:)

                I've been keeping a watch on this for a while as BeebEm has been ported to the PI and is classed as one of the better BBC emulators with the last Windows version or the one previously as a couple of things had to be removed for copyright reasons

                Try this link for the PI version based on an older Linux BeebEm that has been ported for the earlier Windows source

                https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra-unstable

                This is a couple of years old but explains how its possible to get some keys working, but again its a user built fork

                  @nevsan I have (or had) advmess up and running emulating the BBC Micro. Last time I checked several months ago Chuckie Egg and Repton were working. I've made a few changes to my overall Retropie setup a few months ago.

                  Once I get home in a couple of hours, I'll have a look and make sure they still work and, if they do, I'll let you know what I did to get them working. My set up is quite complicated. I wanted to make sure that each game started automatically from Attract Mode (I don't use emulation station) and I managed to achieve this.

                    @edmaul69 Hi. In another thread I found your lr-mess binary which you kindly put up on Google Drive. (I can't compile the latest version of lr-mess because it uses GCC 5.0 and lr-mess2016 doesn't work).

                    Unfortunately, I'm getting a segmentation fault trying to run a couple of CreatiVision games, Planet Defender and Crazy Chicky which won't work with advmess either, albeit advmess is good for 4 or 5 other games.

                    I'm just wondering if your lr-mess setup is still working and whether you might have any tips that could help me get it to work. I seem to have all the config files and other things correct, so far as I can see. Thanks.

                      @nevsan I've checked my advmess setup. I currently have 4 games working - Elite, Chuckie Egg, Planetoid and Thrust. Beebem is the better emulator, but when I last tried it, the sound did not work, so I resorted to advmess.

                      Install the latest version of Advance Mame which currently is 3.7. In the /opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/bin folder, you will find advmess.

                      My setup is complicated. There may be an easier way of getting it to work. I've got an arcade table with 4 Dragonrise USB joysticks. I didn't want to use a keyboard to control each game, so I've mapped the joystick inputs to each game's keyboard controls using xboxdrv. Because each game had different controls, I found that it was best to copy the advmess binary and create chuckieegg, thrust etc binaries (making each of them executable). Then I could tailor xboxdrv for each game through runcommand-onstart.

                      I'm using Attract Mode so here are my configs, some of which you'll need to adapt for emulation station if you want to go down this route. Here is my vanilla BBC Micro setup anyway:

                      # Generated by Attract-Mode v2.2.1
#
executable           /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh
args                 0 _SYS_ bbcmicro "[romfilename]"
rompath              /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/bbcmicro
romext               .ssd;.SSD
system               BBC Micro
info_source          thegamesdb.net
artwork    flyer           /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/bbcmicro/flyer
artwork    marquee         /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/bbcmicro/marquee
artwork    snap            /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/bbcmicro/snap
artwork    wheel           /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/bbcmicro/wheel

                      My emulators.cfg which is in /opt/retropie/configs/bbcmicro:

                      default = "advmess"
advmess = "/opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/bin/advmess bbcbp128 -cfg /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/bbcmicro.rc -floppy %ROM%"

                      See my next post for my bbcmicro.rc.

                      You will see in the bbcmicro.rc a line beginning bbcbp128[home_pi_retropie_roms_bbcmicrochuckieegg_chuckie]/script_play delay(750); simulate_key(key_scrlock,75);

                      This line and the lines that follow allow me to start each game automatically. These lines send key signals to the emulator to "chainload" the relevant game.

                      As well as the game roms which go in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/bbcmicro/ folder, you will need the BIOS file. I'm using bbcbp128.zip which I've placed in the /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/roms/ folder.

                      I hope this all helps you in some way.

                          I would also love to see the BBC Micro emulation on RetroPie. There were some really great original games which you cannot get on any other micro. I found one game where you have to build a wall to stop people coming to stealing your money. Donald Trump may love to play this game!

                            Still have fond memories of the old SHIFT+BREAK combination followed by the eager wait to see if the disk actually would load.

                            Not sure if Elite, Chuckie Egg and Exile are really viable reasons for Beeb support though beyond simple nostalgia for those particular versions of the games. They were the original versions, no doubt about it, but both games were roundly surpassed by their various ports later on.

                            That said, Superior Software's substantial back catalogue of Beeb/Electron "exclusives" is worth a look, and the Beeb's versions of Repton & Repton 2 still remain the best way to play the game, even compared to Superior's horrendously bad PC ports.

                              Would definitely still love to see BBC Micro emulation. Seems a massive gaping hole in what RetroPie can do.

                              The BBC Micro has a ton of unique brilliant games and software. On a personal note, I'd love to be able to use a RetroPie to run some old SpecialNeeds games and software that just never surfaced on other platforms.

                              When I see that emulation can be done:

                              - with good working sound and speed, I can't quite understand why it's getting pushed aside from the RetroPie top-bods. Too difficult to get working?

                              It's not a lot, but I'd happily donate £50 if it could be included, at least in the experimental builds section.

                                It's already working - have you read the previous posts ?

                                  @mitu - Yes, I mean to get it working in a less cumbersome way. So it could be listed here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki - downloaded from the RetroPie setup area, and not involve messing about with individual files just to change disks.

                                    @oneswitch Yes, that part is missing - adding the BBM as a separate system. Maybe one of these days it will appear :).

                                        I constantly bug jools about it. Bit more intensive as it requires actual emulator development as opposed to just setting up a script to compile it.
