      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.

      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.??

            He needs to boot sonicp as the parent rom doesn't work in this core, BTW he's got problems with Smash TV and mappings........

            Can't shoot at all. Can't configurate any button for shooting

            Inputs advice is usually your dept so i thought i'd flag this up ;)

                Just tested smash tv works fine setting via the tab menu. In both digital and analog mode.
                this code is complete (tab menu) and works like mame would expect just sent and go like you would in mame078 . Setting controls any other place is strictly a RA issues and that code is incomplete atm and I have no interest in loosing the tab menu and isin part of my dealings with the input code.

                Analog is set to the both thumbsticks
                digital is set to joytick1 and joystick 2 like the arcade.

                you can change the defaults for for digital mapping in the inputs general to buttons here https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/2558a6308ac21d0d1f72c7e9244fde36656829cc/src/inptport.c#L459-L466

                if you would prefer to change the default mapping. The changes I done general removed all the hacks that where added to drivers and the original code was put back. lots of people us barcades so this is ok for them others use controllers you cant please both so one set of users will have to use the tab menu

                  As for sonic your right about that but the user has no way to know this as the warning/info screens where removed again not by me this is another wip and will be replaced by widgets at some point as far as i know.

                    Ill post a general guide on how to set mame2003+ inputs up and simplify it as much as possible.

                    first settings that need explained and analog and digital mode and why it exisits.

                    case 1 someone with a nes mini
                    This guy has no keyboard and no analog controls on his device so we map everything do a digital controller as far as mame concerned that is in tab input general. Otherwise would have to map every analog device to digital hat not acceptable.

                    case 2 someone with an analog controller
                    If we mapped all like above analog controls would use mames internal digital analog controls so no analog.

                    Now you can use any one of these options and change anything manually in inputs general so if you know what your way around mame you dont need to use it and can just set the defaults yourself.

                    Its just for convenience for people using snes pads or any other controller that doesnt have any analog controls so they do have to change every single setting.

                    Mame does not have these settings it assumes you have an analog controller by default and wont map a digital hat for you you would need to do this yourself if you where using standalone.

                    @REK607 these are the settings you want for mame to setup controls and you wont run into issues.

                    quick menu options

                    Input interface = simultaneous
                    Legacy Remapping = enabled
                    Control mapping = analog or digital see above for more information or just change the input general to change manually like you would have to do on stand alone mame.

                    a note to ipac users. just set game focus mode and use the tab menu to set any keys that arent right and everything will work fine and any double inputs or hotkeys wont cause issues.

                    for Legacy Remapping = disabled. it not my creation its a WIP please bear with mark on this as he is busy any only one person doing it and its a massive undertaking.

                    To use this mode with the most successful rate ie the way it used to work set the quick menu->settings->control menu please set digital mode and i would recommend changing them dual joystick defaults link posted above to buttons so RA can map them in this menu.

                    ps to access the tab menu use your tab key else use l3. The reason this was chosen is because it doesn't change button position across all the maps. If you dont have a l3 button well good news mark added and option just for this.

                        Yeah which in turn causes lots of bug reports personally i think the warnings should be on by default, in which case experienced users can easily turn em off and novice users
                        would be encouraged to keep the warnings on until such a time they become familiar with their romset and come to know which games do not work or have no sound or
                        graphical problems etc etc in whatever MAME build they are using.

                        I know alotta people dont like the warning screens but the irony here is of course every arcade game on bootup has a warning screen anyway so whats one more in the wider
                        scheme of things :)

                        Anyway thanks for the testing round up if ya get a chance to try out f1lap sometime lemmie know how it goes

                          Of course having the warning screens active will not always give you the full picture take this game.........

                          Super High Impact

                          shimpact.png

                          If you load this in MAME2003 or MAME2003 Plus you'll get a game not working message and during the attract mode or when you try and start a game it will lock up
                          but actually if you enter the service mode do a full factory restore save and exit back to the game it will now be fully playable, consider this todays handy hint ;)

                                  The recent progress with the seibu games running on the legionnaire hardware with regards to FBNeo got me thinking of the only remaining game
                                  in the driver which to this day remains unemulated and unplayable Seibu Cup Soccer / Olympic Soccer 92.

                                  Goal 92

                                  goal92.png

                                  There is one bootleg however which does work in MAME namely Goal 92 and i've spruced up the emulation of it for this core, hooking up the MSM5205 sound (crowd noice)
                                  and improving the YM2203 sound and finally fixing some video problems and adding in player 4 inputs, nice wee fitba game this one you should give it a whirl sometime
                                  and with the improvements done to it for this core there is no better time :)

                                      Well since there was nothing on the tv tonight to keep me occupied i went ahead and added this.........

                                      Touch & Go (Korea, unprotected)

                                      touchgok.png

                                      I've activated the gaelco2 single screen video hack so this game will boot to a single monitor display, the other game which will now do likewise is World Rally 2
                                      although due to the game going haywire if you crash the car as it's missing the Dallas DS5002FP protection MCU i've demoted it to not working status in
                                      MAME2003-Plus

                                      Nothing on the tv tommorow night either i might as well try and get another game up and running in this ole core :)

                                            Thanks to a tip from @arnoldsecret Hyper Duel is now playable in MAME2003-Plus, the game would reboot before level one started previously
                                            also fixed up the parent rom as per MAME by using the graphical roms from the clone set which are good dumps.
