mame2003-plus: hundreds of new games, improved input, features, new bugs - now with runahead support

Right now I'm using fba, haven't tried mame2003 yet since it worked first on fba, how do I access the dip switch on both?
-
@grant2258 - Thanks, then he'll need to use TAB through the options menu or change his input interface to keyboard or simultaneous if his settings are at the defaults to access the dip switch settings.
-
@keithk2581 - I'm not sure on FBA but on mame2003-plus you need to access the Retroarch menu with Select+X (user defined keys). Then go to
Quick Menu -> Optionsand there should be an option to display the MAME menu. You'll find your language dip switch settings there. -
Well mame2003-plus is default is english anyway. For fba the dip switch setting are in quickmenu->options where you set the core options. I havent tested this game on fba but that is where the dip switches are set
-
Found the setting in fba, switched it to English, but it's still in Spanish. I'll have to keep playing with it I guess, unless any other ideas?
-
First of all make sure your on the latest version of fba (compile from source) . Set the Dip switch and make sure your reset the game if its still in spanish report the issue here. https://github.com/libretro/FBAlphaFB
-
Could it be possible the .cfg or .nvram needs reset? That's a strange error.
-
Set the language to English and reset, but no change. Rumor has it that it's known that it doesn't work in fba when you change the language. How do I reset those items you stated?
-
@keithk2581 - Unless it's been fixed in a very recent build (mines a bit older) and I get the same issue as you. It defaults to
Default Language (Spanish)as default. If I change it to English and reset it stills boots as Spanish.You might need to open an issue at the link @grant2258 posted above. The guys that maintain FBA are pretty helpful and had fixes out for an issue I opened within a day or so.
Just to mention mame2003-plus Lethal Enforcers does work fine in English and runs at full speed.

Hello! I started to use mame2003-plus yesterday and it's fantastic, congratulations! I'm writing because I think I found a little bug in Michael Jackson Moonwalker. Hostage children don't have the blue force field sparking around them. You can check a gameplay in YouTube if you want to know what I mean. CD OST is working great and makes the game really special, but makes the game to load a bit slow. Shall we write here non-working games and bugs? Thank you
-
As far as i know there is no active developers on mame2003+ anymore. Last time i spoke with arcadez he hinted its the end of the line of the port as well. You could try posting an issues on the github page was really only me and arcadez that kept it going mostly arcadez to be fair.
-
@grant2258 How come development is stopping?
-
well someone else might pick it up you should really post post on the github page someone might pick it up.

Thank you a lot, I will do indeed just in case someone has the ability to work it out. I'm using a raspberry pi 3b on retropie 4.4.6 with retroarch 1.7.6 and I found out my sonic.zip not working when it comes to start the game after adding credit. My asterix.zip has problems with background music, it gets hanged after a few minutes of playing. Does this happen to you too? I'm using mame2003-plus. I'll post it on GitHub if I can't find a proper solution.
-
I havent used retropie in a while to be honest im have a mini pc in my barcade now and use bigbox with stand alone emulators now. Im working till friday i can test asterix.zip and sonic.zip when im off and ill let you know if I have any issues with it. I cant post on the github page as i got banned from the libretro github that why i suggest you post there as well they might not check this forum.
if you could post a verbose logs to pastebin of both games that would help me see if there is anything obvious going on
-
@grant2258 that would be great, thank you! How do I take this verbose logs? I've never done it before. I'm posting on GitHub the issues this afternoon too.
-
well is in the Runcommand Launch Menu basically start a game and press a button after it and the option will come up to change the emulator ect. There is also an option to enable verbose logging here. Its saved in the folder /dev/shm/
The most common issue for problems is overclock but if you havent do this it wont apply to could be anything to be fair logs should help anything questionable show at least

We only support non protected and the bootleg versions of the Sega system 16 / 18 games in MAME2003, the bootleggers stripped out the VDP graphical layer when they
copied these games, so since it was the VDP gfx that provided that graphical effect around the hostages in MJ Moonwalker thats why it's missing as your playing the
bootleg version so it's not a bug in the emulation per say. -

The version of Sonic your trying to play does not work, you need the prototype version which is the clone rom namely sonicp.zip, if you had the warning screens active
you'd already know this ;) as for Asterix i just tried it out and the sound is good for me anyone else have this issue.?? -
As per a request the latest game we have playable in MAME2003 Plus is Sega's F1 Super Lap it's the sequel to F1 Exhaust Note and adds an overtake turbo boost into the mix
Feel free to try it out and let us know if there are any issues
