2003+ has more than one map classic and and gamepad(fba modern) controllers
arcade panel options
snes (6button) https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/snesmapping.png8 panel options
gamepad(fba modern)
https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/modern.pngmy own creation to be more ra core friendly I use this one so i will be biased towards it :(
https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/master/metadata/wipcontrols/10PANEL.pngpick which one you want in quickmenu-> controls
@hhromic please also clear the all files in the mame2003+ cfg directroy we had some big changes
by a quick look is say your on gamepad atm
the keyboard mode was added by me reluctantly to be honest we are trying to push the core in RA intergration but it wont do any harm
sorry had to add a few detail with the edit

Ah didn't know there were different layouts for the retroarch gamepads.
I did start from a fresh clean mame2003-plus installation (no cfg files) and I can confirm it defaults to the 8-buttons gamepad layout as you guessed.
I have a 6-buttons per-player controller, so I will have to use the "snes" layout I think. Will try that, thanks for the pointer!the keyboard mode was added by me reluctantly to be honest we are trying to push the core in RA intergration but it wont do any harm
I am definitively happy on moving the core more towards RA integration, that's the point of having a LR core in the first place :) The
retroarchmode helps in this direction I think, thekeyboardmode not so much I agree. -
make sure you save the controls else it wont remember Im glad you feeling the benefits from this. @markwkidd did most of this work. I just tidied a few bugs so he really deserves the credit for this RA integration. Feel free to pass on any issues you have or suggestions for improvements

Just a quick message to say that I compiled this earlier and I'm very impressed to see games that I thought couldn't run on my Pi3 ran more or less perfect on this. The only gripe I saw was that Total Carnage produced a screen tearing effect in the top right quarter of the playfield but that could be the fault of the rom.
I'll spend a bit more time with it over the next few days to see if there's any more issues. But very impressed with what I've seen so far 😀

I'm running RetroPie 4.4.3 on a Pi 3, no overclock but I do run a shader (crt-pi). I don't see any issues. I stay above 40 FPS (around 43 occasionally up to 53) the screen looks good with no tearing. Good game. :)

I was gonna ask to add Undercover Cops Alpha Renewal but it looks like it was added last week :D

Hi Guys
Does anyone know if "The Crystal of Kings" is working on mame 2003plus?
If it isnt, is ther anyway to play this game perfectly on pi3 b+?
thanks

f "The Crystal of Kings"
It isn't part of mame2003-plus at the moment, having been added at MAME 0.90. Crystal of Kings should run in AdvanceMAME or MAME 2010 though. I have no idea how well it runs there.
-
@markwkidd crystal of kings works great in AdvanceMame.
It stutters at the very beginning when the player falls down the ceiling, but this may happen on the original hardware too.
Besides that the game is very playable. -
Quick request here...
I've recently compiled the latest build and really enjoying the extra games added such as Avengers - Galactic Storm and Hangzo alon g with seeing Undercover Cops Alpha Renewel version running smoothly on the pi. But I wanted to ask the devs if its possible to include Bonze Adventure (the C-Chip is now emulated in MAME and apparently no longer has the bugs that plagued it) and Legionairre at some point?
-
Is there a final statement on optimizing taito f3? I wonder why it runs faster on advmame.
-
When in Test Mode F2, some games say Select by Service button, push Test button, my understanding is that F2 is the service button, but pressing it just open and close the menu, not scrolling through the options. I can't hit up or down or any key on controllers, and I have no idea what the Test button is for Mame2003Plus. Any help?
-
Because of nayslayer's recent video fixes, "backdrop" artwork is now working in this core! Here's
warriorfor example:

Some games had several different "service buttons" mapped in addition to the button that enters service mode. I have seen them mapped to keyboard numbers like
9and0.What romset are you using?
-
@lockescow you need to set mame input to keyboard or mame to usekeyboard.
its set to retroarch by default. The input methods are listed below.
retroarch = retropad binds only keyboard = keyboard only mame = both modes mixed -

That was it! It was mapped in GUI under Other Inputs menu as Service 1-4 via 9, 0, -, and =, and not all games have all 4 services. Additionally, it seems also not all games has a functioning Service Menu, and in those games dip switches had to be made via GUI screen. Are there any rhyme and reasons for these inconsistency between MAME games or is it one of those 'it-is-what-it-is' sort of thing with MAME roms?

"backdrop" artwork is now working in this core!
For those that would like to create backdrops for mame2003 plus, here is detailed info about the .ART required file format and coordinate system.
-
Now that we have lr-mame2003 support for backdrops I will finally be able to complete
Space Invaders artwork (bezel+backdrop). Unfortunately mame2003 does not internally provide colors in the actual game (as mame 2010 does). More info here.
Any chance the colors could be implemented in mame2003plus (or backport space invaders from 2010)?
