How do I compile mame2010 from source
-
@suprjami Sadly the wheezy will not update. It says its no longer supported and to basically start from scratch. I have a million SD cards and flash drives lying around, so thats not an issue at all. In this case I think there is a little more to it than just the binary and core cfg file. I have imported the binary from my pi3 and added setting to core cfg without success.
-
Yes, you cannot do a script update from Wheezy anymore.
By "update" I mean "flash the latest RetroPie 4.0.2 image which is based on Raspbian Jessie".
Copying bits and pieces from the Jessie image to the Wheezy image is definitely not expected to work.
-
yeah, thats ok, I already have that flashed if I wanted to go that route. I am looking at the elf file disassembled it should not be a big deal removing the nag screen from the looks of it. While I am at it I think I might dig in and try to remove the annoying white ES screen as well. Its funny how even the people on our side try and constrain us. Thats what causes reverse engineering in the first place.... the Irony... Thanks alot, I really do appreciate your help, we tried :)
-
@dankcushions yeah, sry just saw this. Sadly the options were not there, I forced the updated binary on, and put the switches in the core cfg file. no go... Can you send the proper binary with this commented out? would save me sometime i dont have lol....
-
I would expect that that disassembling, understanding, and NOP'ing or JMP'ing the binary would take longer than setting up your GPIO controls on a new RetroPie 4 image, but whichever you prefer :)
The white screen is a memory resource thing: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/themes#white-screen-of-death

@proaudiosoft said in How do I compile mame2010 from source:
You sell pre-loaded emulation systems? That's commercial copyright infringement. That's not cool.
-
@suprjami Already killed the nag. And no, I know about the white screen of death. I was reffering to the Emulation Station boot screen. What I do is not really none of your concern. What you have on your pi at home isnt very cool either. Believe it or not, lawfully its the same thing. I build upright and bartops for people, the other is just passed on with it if they wish so
-
It's a concern of everyone who uses or cares about this project and others like it, as it increases the risk of legal action against us.
I'm sure you know that private use is viewed differently by courts than commercial profit. Whether you choose to offer the ROMs "separately" or as part of purchase does not matter, it's still commercial use.
It's also disrespectful to the emulator authors who provide their software under a non-commercial license.
As far as I'm concerned, selling pre-loaded ROM systems is the same thing as actively working to get the RetroPie project killed.
The RetroPie Setup Script asks you explicitly NOT to do exactly what you're doing.
I hope you change your ways. Feel free to modify your product offering. I won't be helping you any further until then.

@suprjami I don't usually ask for help. I preffered to get things done on my own. some people can't read or search. I help people. Everyone deserves to have a fun arcade. I only charge for the cabinets and bartops. I throw in the software they need for their electronics. Some guys are good at carpentry, they can build a cab, but cant use a computer to save their life. They dont deserve a fun unit to play with? If I do sell they something seperate, it only pays for my time/hardware to ship to them. this is a rarity anyway, and most of the time i pass those offers up. I sell cabinets/bartops, plain and simple. electronics in and ready to go. Hell, some guys even want to do the software themselves, and thats fine by me. And you are wrong, if a company really wants to come after you, they will. Tell them its only for your personal use and see if they care. duh, most people downloading movies for their own use. You are what they call justifying. I am better than him because...... well.... its for me only.... um..... ha, laughable. do you really have no idea how many people are building units for themselves, other people, and yeah some even selling their finished units. just look on craigslist and ebay man, people want them, and they sell. Why do you think mame has a limit on how old a game can be till its released? do you know? I have many hard drives of games that have not even been released yet. I have the protection cracked on some major games that you would not believe. Do you see me blatantly trying to sell them, hells no. thats where the trouble is. The older games from the past companies dont much care about anymore. they are well aware that they are all over on computers, xbox's, androids, apples, wii's, and a gazillion other devices all over the planet. you are either in denial, way blind, retarded, or all three

@proaudiosoft providing RetroPie with any product and selling it is illegal. (https://retropie.org.uk/documentation/legal-contact/) obfuscating the icons/removing boot screens and asking the creators of the community you're profiting from for support just adds insult to injury. What people do with our software has everything to do with the longevity of the project especially when they package it with copyrighted software- it sullies the name and further puts us at risk of legal action.
If people want a bartop thats fine but they should be responsible for setting up the software themselves.
-
@proaudiosoft "you are either in denial, way blind, retarded, or all three". Wrong place for personal attacks - bye.

Have decided to unban due to receiving a meaningful apology via email.
Please also adhere to the licence guidelines. The emulator authors (without who we would have a much less useful RetroPie) do not want their work sold, or even included with commercial products. Including roms damages our project and is not legal.
-
I hadn't read the thread in detail, but just checked the site now. Had I seen that before I probably wouldn't have removed the ban.
If you want to be part of the forum/community, I suggest you stop distributing RetroPie with "10,000 games" to your customers.
