BBC Micro Emulation
-
@herb_fargus i believe it works in lr-mess but is is laggy for me.
-
@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-messbinary which you kindly put up on Google Drive. (I can't compile the latest version oflr-messbecause it uses GCC 5.0 andlr-mess2016doesn'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
advmesseither, albeitadvmessis good for 4 or 5 other games.I'm just wondering if your
lr-messsetup 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.
Beebemis the better emulator, but when I last tried it, the sound did not work, so I resorted toadvmess.Install the latest version of Advance Mame which currently is 3.7. In the
/opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/binfolder, you will findadvmess.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 theadvmessbinary and createchuckieegg,thrustetc binaries (making each of them executable). Then I could tailorxboxdrvfor each game throughruncommand-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/wheelMy

bbcmicro.rc.You will see in the
bbcmicro.rca line beginningbbcbp128[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 usingbbcbp128.zipwhich 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.
-
@oneswitch said in BBC Micro Emulation:
Too difficult to get working?
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 :).
-
@mitu Hope so.
-
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.
If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

@herb_fargus One day, hopefully. Thanks for the update.
