RGB Commander + AttractMode + Mame2003

[LeTeckel]

Hello,

I have a little problem with the configuration of the rgbcmdd.xml file of RGCommander. I use AttractMode on Retropie 4.4 (PacLED64 Card).

All leds work correctly in demo mode and in console game (snes, megadrive). But when I launch a Mame2003 game, all leds remain off.

Here is the command launched for an arcade game (1943) :

/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003/mame2003_libretro.so --appendconfig /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/roms/1943.zip.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/roms/1943.zip

And here is the log of RGBCommander (rgbcmdd.log) when I launch the game :

09/07/19 20:42:55 [INFO] [fadeSpeed] PACLED64_1 fadespeed set to  0 -> SUCCESS
09/07/19 20:42:55 [INFO] [setRGBAspeed] RGBA Pattern41_32 speed set to 100

09/07/19 20:42:57 [INFO] [processMonitor] retroarch is running

and and nothing else until I leave the game

I have this in rgbcmdd.xml :

<emulator binary="mame-libretro" name="Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator" active="Orange" inactive="Black" arcade="1" retropie="1" reference="arcade">

I have tried some solution but the result is the same.

Can you help me ?

Thanks !

Hello,

Here is the solution I found :

1/ In the file /home/pi/.attract/emulators/Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.cfg :

executable           /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh
args                 0 _SYS_ mame-libretro "[romfilename]"

2/ In the file /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/emulators.cfg

lr-mame2003 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003/mame2003_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
default = "lr-mame2003"

3/ In the file /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/"

4/ In the file /usr/sbin/rgbcommander/rgbcmdd.xml , section MAME, place :

<emulator binary="mame-libretro" name="Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator" active="Blue" inactive="DimGray" arcade="1" retropie="1" retropiebinary="retroarch" reference="arcade">

5/ To continue using overlays (example for the game 1943)
Create the file 1943.cfg in the directory /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/roms :

input_overlay = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/arcade-artwork/1943.cfg
input_overlay_enable = true
input_overlay_opacity = 0.900000
input_overlay_scale = 1.000000

and in the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/arcade-artwork/1943.cfg :

overlays = 1
overlay0_overlay = 1943.png
overlay0_full_screen = true
overlay0_descs = 0

And the overlay image must be placed in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/arcade-artwork

6/ In the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/retroarch.cfg, set the parameter config_save_on_exit :

config_save_on_exit = "false"
