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.Hyper Duel
Decent wee game this one
-
A few more with some graphical problems which are now fixed in MAME2003-Plus thanks to another tip from @arnoldsecret....
Some classic Data East and Technos games
Mania Challenge
Mat Mania
King Of Boxer / Ring King

There seems to be a problem with the rom paths on certain platforms.......
https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/issues/718
@markwkidd or @grant2258 i assume it might have been one of you guys that made the changes to how the core paths are handled.?? then again this core has
had a few cooks lately when it comes to code changes on the libretro side, all i ask is who ever broke it puts it right when they have the time -
This is most likely 3ds specific. I would suggest posting on the actual RA github more logs ect will probably be needed to see whats going on.

Aye fair enough bigman, i've asked them if the same thing happens when using the MAME2003 core to see if the problem is with plus or as you suggest
lies elsewhere, im not gonna delve into this matter any further as i prefer to stick with the MAME side of the code :) -
I did push 2 fixes to your repo one was a 64 bit fix and the other shows the right name it tried to load when it doesnt exist. My hands a pretty tied as far as helping goes matey. Like you dont mind looking at mame core issues

Winding down with this core nowadays but i'll still take on the odd fixup should the workload not be to great, as per a tip from @arnoldsecret it turns out a couple of
NeoGeo games were totally broken in MAME2003 while a third had some niggles here and there, the problem was some incorrect code to handle the graphical zooming
anyway Top Players Golf, Tecmo World Cup Soccer 96 are now playable Thrash Rally doesn't have the graphical problems when the track zooms in and out.Other NeoGeo games might have also been affected so this could sort more than the games which i mentioned, finally i added a small speedup circa MAME84
which should improve the performance in these games for this core.Tecmo World Cup 96 before and after

@arcadez2003 Thanks for the fixes, I had noticed the zooming artifacts on Thrash Rally!

Some Taito related improvements i've added to the MAME2003-Plus core over the last month or so taken from later MAME builds.........
0.144: Angelo Salese added a preliminary ES5510 DSP DRAM input/output latches support in Taito F3 driver, fixes sound in Riding Fight.
7th November 2011: Angelo Salese - Implemented ES5510 DSP DRAM latches to Taito F3 driver, this adds full sound to Riding Fight.0.144: Angelo Salese added a preliminary ES5510 DSP DRAM input/output latches support in Taito F3 driver, fixes sound in Ring Rage.
7th November 2011: Angelo Salese - Implemented ES5510 DSP DRAM latches to Taito F3 driver, this gives correct sound to Ring Rage without going into test mode first.0.102u5: Nicola Salmoria fixed butterfly wings do not work properly, when you get the 'Freeze Time' bonus.
0.89u1: More Taito F2 blending improvements [Bryan McPhail]. Added the TC0360PRI blending modes to the games with rotation layers. This includes Pulirula & Liquid Kids. One of the blending modes is new to these games (not used in Gun Frontier) and I have no way to verify it's actually correct - someone with a working board will need to verify (Liquid Kids: Fish going in water,
Pulirula: Crystals on level 2).0.88u6: Support for extra effects in Taito F2 driver [Bryan McPhail]. Transparent sun in 1st level of Metal Black. Special effect on Metal Black level 5 boss who slides in under the bottom tilemap. All known effects in Gun Frontier (see the attract mode). The update also provides full 5 tilemap layer priority support in Metal Black (was previously 4 due to pdrawgfx limitation), and fixes priority problems in Ninja Kids.
Gun & Frontier
Liquid Kids
Metal Black
Ninja Kids
PuliRulla
Riding Fight
Ring Rage
Super Space Invaders 91

Aye your missing out, Metal Black is a good as well.

Will defo have look at it. Ive grabbed the updates to my own wee branch will motivate me to work on it a little! Or distract me either way is all good.

Is this following statement from initial posting still true?
As of May, 2018 a complete MAME 0.78 romset collection and a complete MAME 0.139 romset collection together
In the documentation page to MAME it says MAME 0.78-MAME 0.188 are the required sets. I suppose the initial posting in this thread is no longer valid? Will there be any state of the emulator where the romset requirement will not change, like the other MAME emulators?
I plan to use it when I start a new image on Pi 4 and right now I am a little bit confused.

Well the whole point of MAME2003-Plus was to backport extra game support as well as fixes and improvements that were possible
working with the MAME78 codebase, so it is a core that is in a state of constant flux, although the majority of the work has now been
completed and 98% of the roms have not changed in quite some time.Dunno what you mean about other MAME emulators the roms for those change every version more or less ;)
As a rule we tended to leave the roms at MAME78 unless a fix or improvement necessitated a small change, but once that change was made
we dont update the roms further, also when supporting a new game we take it from the MAME version where it first became playable
and again we never update it, the reason MAME188 is now mentioned is due to @arnoldsecret adding support for more games
of late one of them being Jump Kun.
