its rm -rf you posted that as i was editing it. I think ill compile a binary for people probably easier that way

git clone https://github.com/grant2258/mame2010-libretro.git
cd mame2010-libretro
git checkout input
make platform=rpi4 -j8
sudo cp mame2010_libretro.so /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2010/

Thanks its installing now.

The remove command worked and used this post you made
git clone https://github.com/grant2258/mame2010-libretro.git
cd mame2010-libretro
git checkout input
make platform=rpi4 -j8
sudo cp mame2010_libretro.so /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2010/

Im hopeing this will help with player 2 controls for some reason mortal kombat 2 etc the circle button does not do anything. Cant low kick on player 2. It will be great if it works afterwards.

Thanks
Sim

grant2258

should be good for 4 players :)

It was compiling but at the end it didnt install
ill have to do it again as i closed putty and show message thanks.

EDIT
I just had to create a lr-mame2010 directory and it worked now to test
mame2010_libretro is in the lr-mame2010 folder from your install

So I have the new core installed from you, I just need some config to launch the emulator. As before installing i removed the emulator from setup, I can see in retropie setup it says installed via unknown lr-mame2010 so i must be close in getting it working.

I think i solved it the long way around sorry im not really confident with this.

I backed up the new core you made then installed via binary
so i have the config to launch the emulator
then run just this code

git clone https://github.com/grant2258/mame2010-libretro.git
cd mame2010-libretro
git checkout input
make platform=rpi4 -j8
now its doing its installing lots of code
when that finishes ill copy over the new core over the binary one as root user
so hopefully when finished it will all be good.

grant2258

yes you need to install the mame2010 package first on thing to note if it stops compiling just go back to the mame2010-libretro
directory

the other commands before this just grabed the source and checkout the branch no need to worry about them again

make platform=rpi4 -j8
sudo cp mame2010_libretro.so /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2010/

So the Controls are wrong for Mortal kombwt
Compared to arcade and mame 2003, megadrive etc
But they all can be mapped now which is wonderful
Thanks
Sim

This is how I set it now for Mortal kombat to be the same as mame 2003 and layout of how Mortal kombat games are on most platforms.

Auto 0 key z button 4
Auto 3 key a button 1
Auto 1 key x button 5
Auto 2 key S button 3
Auto 4 key q button 2
Auto 5 key w button 6
Auto 6 button 8
Auto 7 button 7

Its working really well
Thank you again

Is their a way to get dpad working and not just analog.

Thanks
Sim

grant2258

there is some mapping that was there you need to turn it on in the options and restart the core. I left them off by default because i havent tested them. So if you turn it on (then restart) and load up street fighter 2 it should map properly. Again this isint my mapping its what was there

Simrose

@grant2258
Can you please explain where options how to enable
Thanks
Sim

grant2258

@Simrose like any other retroarch core option select +x to get to rgui

then goto options

its the first option automapping turn it on close the core and restart

Simrose

@grant2258 thanks for that sorry I'm learning.

Edit
Works perfect😊
It would be great to be able to enable dpad also
Thanks
Sim

Simrose

@grant2258
A huge thanks to you
Amazing to have it working now
Very happy
Sim

grant2258

I have some other things im working on at the moment but ou can can set up in input general it just needs auto mapped

Simrose

@grant2258
I couldn't get dpad to work but I know it's my lack of knowledge.
Good luck with your other projects
Main thing is everything else working great.
Thanks
Sim

@grant2258 Sorry for the delay here!

I compiled your version and it seemed to work as intended. I was unable to get the "auto-remapping" to work, even after restarting, but it's probably on me.

The fact that the emulator no longer crashes allows the user to remap the controls as intended - thanks!

Simrose

@pjft
Auto remapping worked on mine just to let you know I had it off and controls were messed up on most games put to on and now fine

grant2258

@pjft make sure youve do a git pull. if you messed with the game mappings and such i wont map propperly because you changed your cfg files. Also if you didnt do a clean compile do a touch src/emu/*.c I tested with sf2 on windows and linux works fine for me dont know about the rest of the mappings because i just used what was there in the first place

pjft

@grant2258 It might have been from the previous game mappings then - I tested it with some of the games I had been playing before!

The dpad will work if you map it properly in input->general->player1 controls I dont want to make another frankenmame by doing this a silly way. There is a reason its set to analog it uses the 9x9 joystick grid for mapping 4 way ect. Im not quit happy with the defaut analog setting in the ini i would suggest you set the saturation to 1.0 it on 0.86
