I posted this on that thread...
"Thanks for posting this. First I've read anywhere that those two "extra" files were required in the cdmono1 BIOS.
I have it working, however, what do you mean by getting the mouse working by booting ES into the cli? How do I do that on a consistent game for game basis. Meaning... exit one game, start another.
I've never booted into cli before."
but do you have any idea what he's talking about referencing the mouse working? Mine does the usual creep into the lower right corner act.

Hi @valerino I saw that on this page: https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-mess-standalone.sh there is the script for the "Classic Standalone Games" emulator, but I find no mention of it anywhere. Which roms can that emulator run? Thanks

@shift ..sorry, haven't been on the forum for a bit.
I'll try and get my scripts either uploaded somewhere or issue a PR against his Github repo for them.

thanks @dmmarti ! I'm sure that, besides me, you'll make many other emulation enthusiasts happy.
-
I've created a new Pull Request (at least I hope I did it right). I've added 10 new lr-mess-xxx.sh scripts for additional systems.
Thanks,
David

Trying to launch an ADAM game and I get the following error which crashes the Pi:
I have tried both .dsk and.ddp files and made sure I'm selecting the correct option from the launch menu.
Any ideas?
-
@dmmarti How did you get Coleco ADAM to work? I keep getting this crash screen trying to boot a .dsk or .ddp image:
-
@tpr You need to make sure you have the BIOS file adam.zip in the RetroPie/BIOS directory.
Running "sum" against it, here's my file:
sum adam.zip
39492 53You may have to try a few different versions of the file, but one of them will allow it to work.
-
@dmmarti Thank you!
Third time was the charm!
I had all the ColecoVision BIOS files but for the life of me couldn't get Google to give me anything for ADAM until I Googled adam.zip
It's up and running now!

For some systems not supported by ScreenScraper or others (like Gamate or GameMaster), here .xml and downloaded_images .

@dmmarti Thank you so much!

I had installed a lot of system manually. Yesterday and today I installed your scripts. The two methods work in parallel without harming each other. Honestly wow !!!! great job guys your scripts are really great.
I didn't install with the hyperlinks, I downloaded the scripts and made cherry picking after. It works great!!
-
EDIT: Script is updated to version 1.1. Read edit below for more information.
Hi all,
Yesterday I made a script that wil bulk generate more than 2000 lr-mess-<systems>.
This is version 1 !. It's more or less a proof of concept. It's created fast and a bit dirty. I still have to improve things.
But I can confirm it works !. The idea was born in here : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28345/old-computer-appreciation-thread/788
Just after we manually created two for P2000T(testing for cass support) and Sharp X1.So if you are adventurous, try it at your own risk !
-
Install MAME first in your RetroPie-Setup, if you didn't already !!!!
-
Download the script from https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share
It's in "00-scripts-00" -
Run it with : bash generate-lr-mess-systems.sh
It will make a libretrocores directory in the directory you started the script from and writes al the generated files in that directory.
(this will take about 6 minutes) -
Choose the script you want to try and copy that to :
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores -
Install your choosen <system> from your RetroPie-Setup
EDIT:
I did a huge updated on my script.
WOOOOOWW :-)
5500 seperate files are being generated.
If you want it all, it takes about 16 minutes (pi4) !!!Now all system with more media (quik, cas, flop1, dump, cart) are splitted.
So for every media, we now can install multiple commandlines depending upon the media.I also added a simple script(generate-desired-systems.sh) that can be edited.
If you run this script after editing, then it will only generate your desired systems.
(I already placed a few in there)I did many tests. Perhaps there is still mistakes, but I am real confident.
It's already on github.
Advise( if you used my first script ):
The names are changed depending on the supported media. So I advise you to uninstall the old ones first and than remove the files also.In the next update I can add more info about each computer in the script.
So everybody can see much more info about the system in the "package help"From here I explain on how to run the scripts :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28345/old-computer-appreciation-thread/924 -

I can also confirm that it works. It's not quite as compatible as 'normal' mess yet, but it is a first version. And on the other hand it enabled me to use systems I could never get to work in lr-mess without scripts, ie. PC6001.

@folly I would create a special 3D for your initiative, so the two works do not "mix". Anyway congratulations for what you are doing, and I will definitely try it soon because I am too curious.

Yes, it should be nice if it could become 1 project.
(if that is what you mean)
But I don't know everything.
I also have to work on my knowledge in github on "pull requests".
Up till now, I find this quite difficult and frustrating.Can you explain a little bit more about your "special 3D" idea ?
Anyway congratulations for what you are doing, and I will definitely try it soon because I am too curious.
Thanks,
I'am really proud of it. I think it's really a huge accomplishment.
Until now, it took me about 16 hours to create it.
With this script we can really save thousands of hours work.
And I have seen some pretty good results, already.
Perhaps splitting can also be done on media in the future.
So this way cass files come in a cass-rom directory and cartridge file in a cart-rom directory etc...
But for now I have done enough, so far ;-)Do you keep me posted on your findings ?
-
Can you explain a little bit more about your "special 3D" idea ?
I misspelled, I meant "specific", not special.
Do you keep me posted on your findings ?
Of course, as soon as I can try it, I'll update you.

@shift / all
Yesterday I updated my script to V1.2 .
I had to solve the problem of V1.1 which did not export all extensions supported by a system but exported only the one of floppy or cartridge for that matter (depeding on the install). Trouble is, then you don's see all the supported files in emulationstation. So effectively you won't be able to switch to an other working launch option.
I tried to solve this but I could not get a solution, this took me about 13 hours. :(
Retrying from scratch I found the solution in within the hour. (nailed it) :)I'm quite happy with it now. ^^
So now it's possible to install multiple <onesystem>-<media>.sh of one system keeping it all in one rom directory. While booting a rom you can switch to another launch option or associate a specific rom to media-specific launch option.
Also added the help, run it with -h :
bash generate-lr-mess-systems.sh -h -
Hi Folly,
I downloaded generate-lr-mess-systems.sh
Where did you paste It before running It? Is It in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup or /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules?
