        @folly I'll give it a go, I'll let you know if I run into any problems.

        I am now building it to see if I get the error.
        But this can take up to 4 hours.

        Last month it compiled fine.
        But I always notice that the pi gets really hot while compiling.
        You have to make sure it will stay cool.

        For me there was only 1 reason to compile.
        There is an update on the P2000T which will then support cas files.

        What is your reason to compile it ?

          Why don't you install the binary version ?

          Well that was a lot easier and works, cheers @Folly, that will save me loads of time if I have to do it again

            Nice to hear it's working now.
            Enjoy !

              wanting to have a play around with bbc, electron & Phillips cdi.
              it used to compile fine for me up until a week or so ago, then I started to get the 'couldn't find mess_libretro.so " error.
              I always built it from source, just followed @valerino instructions.

                I think on the time he was writing the instructions, you could only compile from source. But now the binary has been added.
                Perhaps @valerino is willing to edit this post.

                I think bbc, electron & Phillips cdi will all work with the binary though. ;-)

                  Mine crashed now while compiling.
                  So, I stop for now.
                  Perhaps some another time.

                    was it about 1hr into the install? thats what ive narrowed it down to, tried it on ssd, usb and sd.
                    Anyway thanks for your help @Folly , at least if its a bug or something has changed @valerino can maybe have a look into it

                      Yes about an hour, when i clicked the terminal.
                      But the last few days my pi4 gets stuck more often, I just installed a cooler.
                      Hope it get's better.

                      I looked at both branches but Valerino didn't edit this file.
                      It's the same as from the original RetroPie-setup.
                      Perhaps it's best to try it again in a few weeks.
                      Maybe it's an issue in lr-mess.

                        I just had a look through this thread and I couldn't find any reference to this, but has anyone gotten lr-mess-vectrex up and running with overlays yet? Thinking about going down that rabbit hole but wondering if there has been anyone who has done it yet before I attempt it?

                          Yes, that works !
                          You can use the same methode as used with lr-vecx.

                          I have some background information about that in my repository :
                          https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/tree/main/00-scripts-00#run-with-a-backgroundoverlay-picture-for-handheld-or-vextrex-with-retroarch-in-lr-mess

                          So if you already have the overlays working, they should also work with lr-mess.

                          For handhelds I made a script that will generate these configs :
                          https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/blob/main/00-scripts-00/generate-overlay-configs.sh
                          The goal is to add vectrex also sometime.

                          btw,
                          Speech synthesis works with lr-mess, with lr-vecx this is an issue.

                              @roslof @Folly Where did you guys get the overlays and artwork for Microvision? I was able to get the console up and running but my Googlefu is failing me on finding the artwork. I have the stuff from the MVEM site, but I can't get those artwork files to work with MESS.

                              Also, thank you for the notes above. That was all fantastic and I was able to get the console up and running with little hassle thanks to your advice. The only thing I can't find is the artwork.

                                See: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WQszhzzwyu6O2dVVBv_SGYgOOm7HROA7

                                and https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sm6gdOcaaQaNUtQ9tZ5Q5WQ6m1OD2QY3

                                Everything excepted Microvision for handheld artworks

                                Another way to run Vectrex with MAME standalone (like MESS without Lr)

                                go in /opt/retropie/configs/vectrex
                                open your emulators.cfg or create It

                                add:

                                mame-vectrex= "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -c  vectrex -cart %ROM%"
mame-vectrex-autoframeskip= "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -c -autoframeskip vectrex -cart %ROM%"**

                                To set your "Input (general)" and "Input(this Machine), follow step 10 and 11 of this Tutorial -----> Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME

                                In your /opt/retropie/configs/mame/mame.ini

                                set the location where you will store the artworks

                                artpath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame/artwork;/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/artwork;/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/artwork

                                  @dteam Thank you! I had already downloaded those G&W ones and I have them running. Great to get these other ones as well.

                                    @dteam Is it a different romset that works with MAME than it does with lr-vecx? All my roms work fine under lr but I can't get them to load in MAME. It crashes back to ES at the "initializing" screen.

                                      Normally They should work, because we don't refer to %BASENAME% (hash file) but to c -cart %rom%

                                        @dteam Weird. I've tried three different BIOS files in my /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS directory and about 10 different roms that work in lr-vecx and I can't get anything to load. It just pops up to the "initializing" screen and then goes back to ES. No clue what I'm doing wrong here.

                                            @dteam Yay! I got it up and running. I added both of these to rompath in mame.ini:
                                            /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS;/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/vectrex

                                            I'm running Berzerk and there is a lot of popping and crackling sounds. Is that normal?

                                            I also still can't seem to get the overlay to work.

                                            What do I need for the artwork file in the artwork folder?
