https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md can be used on both its a libretro core so will work in retroarch as well.

@mitu @markwkidd The mame2003-plus-fix worked for me. With it, I can build mame2003-plus from the packages menu, whereas the normal branch fails.

@Darksavior @grant2258 Thanks.

Edit : The mame2003-plus fix works and it compiled. Playing some games now that wouldn't run in mame2003. Thanks for all your hard work !

@maxus What error do you have when you install mame2016 ?

I can't build it either. It fails with the error

Could not successfully build lr-mame2016 - MAME emulator - MAME 0.174 port for libretro (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-mame2016/mamearcade2016_libretro.so not found).

The full log is here.

@clyde Seems like already it's already been reported in https://github.com/libretro/mame2016-libretro/issues/12 .

How well would mame 2016 run on a Pi3 ? In other words: what roms would be playable ?
Any specific game that runs better on 2016 vs FBA or mame2003/10 ?

There is an official fix to the mame2003-plus issue that only needs testers if anyone here is interested in taking a shot: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2398

Hey man.

I found this thread because I had the exact same install issue as the OP.

I clicked that link and I have no idea what you'd want me to do.

If you could give me instructions, I'd like to test out whatever solution you've come up with.

Let me know.

Hi all!

I've just registered on this forum because I've got a similiar problem that is getting on my nerves.

EVERY times I try to "update by source" lr-mame2003-plus, at the end, I got an error like OP, but it is : "/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-mame2003-plus/_libretro.so not found."

I tried to disable every overclock I had, made swap file to 1024, used the command lines posted above to fix the issue. NOTHING works!

What I am doing wrong ?

@jere update retropie-setup script first.

Jere

Thanks for your reply.

I did launch retropie setup, and updated retropie script.
Then I tried the fix above but I still got the /_libretro.so not found error.
I compile by going to retropie setup, experimental, and then choosing update from source lr-mame2003-plus.

something is wrong with your retropie setup you need to fix it

cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull

then try compile again from the setup menu

@Stuart2773 There is an ongoing PR that has been submitted recently - https://github.com/libretro/mame2016-libretro/pull/25 - which might result in a fix. You can wait for a solution to emerge from that PR or follow this topic.
