Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME
-
The tested ones are in my very first thread about MAME handheld. See, here. See bottom of each list per category for non working systems.
I'll take a look if new systems are added and not tested.
BTW, the original images are linked to each systems in the list, you can click on it. I didn't even remember 🤣.

I probably found a way to check if a driver is good or bad.
I checked 2 drivers like this :/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml jak_batm|grep "driver status" <!ATTLIST driver status (good|imperfect|preliminary) #REQUIRED> <driver status="imperfect" emulation="good" savestate="unsupported"/> /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml jak_bbh|grep "driver status" <!ATTLIST driver status (good|imperfect|preliminary) #REQUIRED> <driver status="preliminary" emulation="preliminary" savestate="unsupported"/>
Automating it would give a proper list I think.
-
For the new release 250 I want to see if we can make new ini files based upon the idea of extracting it from mame.
This is an early test on jakks how we could do that.
Here I use the completed sorted database.
Goal is to do it with the unsorted data before I create the sorted database 250 file.cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0249_systems_sorted_info|grep jak_|cut -d " " -f2|while read driver;do [[ $(/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml $driver|grep "emulation="|cut -d\" -f4) == good ]] && echo $driver;done jak_batm jak_capc jak_care jak_dbz jak_disf jak_disn jak_dora jak_dorr jak_dpr jak_dprs jak_dwmn jak_dwmno jak_fan4 jak_just jak_mk jak_mpac jak_mpacw jak_nick jak_pooh jak_sbfc jak_sbjd jak_sith jak_sithp jak_spdm jak_swot jak_wall jak_wof jak_wwe jak_xmenp
We can do the same with all_in1 drivers (filtered on "in 1" & "in-1" & "non-arcade" with no jakks drivers "jak_") :
(manually drivers like fordrace could be added in the filter list)cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0249_systems_sorted_info|grep 'in 1\|in-1'|grep non-arcade|grep -v jak_|cut -d " " -f2|while read driver;do [[ $(/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml $driver|grep "emulation="|cut -d\" -f4) == good ]] && echo $driver;done 110dance ablmini apexc bittboy cdlyoko cybar120 dgun851 dgun853 dnv200fs dturbogt exsprt48 f1392 f3in1 fapocket fcpocket ii32in1 ii8in1 intact89 itvg48 itvg49 jl2050 lexiseal lexizeus lx_jg7410 lx_jg7415 m505neo m521neo marc101 max10in1 maxx5in1 maxx6in1 mc_110cb mc_138cb mc_7x6ss mc_89in1 mc_8x6cb mc_8x6ss mc_9x6sa mc_9x6ss mc_aa2 mc_cb280 mc_dcat8 mc_dcat8a mc_dg101 mc_dgear mc_sam60 mc_sp69 mc_tv200 mgt20in1 miwi2_16 miwi2_7 msinamco mysprtch mysptqvc oplayer pjoyn50 pjoys30 pjoys60 polmega rcapnp react rminitv sen101 senario25 silv35 solargm sudo6in1 sy888b sy889 t3in1sa t7in1ss techni4 timetp25 timetp36 timetp7 tvbg3a tvbg3b tvbg3c tvbg6a tvbg6b tvsprt10 v4in1eg ventur25 vgcap35 vgcaplet vjpp2 vsmax25v vsmaxtx2 vsmaxx17 vsmaxx77 vsmaxxvd vsplus vt25in1 wldsoctv xing48 zdog zone7in1 zone7in1p
We can do the same with konamih drivers (filtered on "Driver k" & "konami" & "handheld" & "non-arcade") :
cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0249_systems_sorted_info|grep "^Driver k"|grep handheld|grep konami|grep non-arcade|cut -d " " -f2|while read driver;do [[ $(/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml $driver|grep "emulation="|cut -d\" -f4) == good ]] && echo $driver;done kbilly kblades kbucky kcontra kdribble kgarfld kgradius kloneran knfl ktmnt ktopgun
I like the idea of adding a @V or @good tag all drivers, in the sorted list, that are good :
cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0249_systems_sorted_info|cut -d " " -f2|while read driver;do [[ $(/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml $driver|grep "emulation="|cut -d\" -f4) == good ]] && echo $driver;done
etc..

I'm currently working on "all in one" gamelist. you have added 13 videos more than the current gamelist. you cover 100% of the games and will finish adding them this week. I will make another attempt to find the missing images. for your approach, it is excellent. however, I recommend always testing the new systems you want to add.
-
I just had a look at the differences between the predefined all_in1.ine and my generated one.
Indeed, there are quite some differences.
Will have a look later again. -
I had a 3rd try on automating a list for all_in1.
Just to help you find new ones and for me to see if there is a better way of automating this process for the future.
I included the search for ones that are originally in your ini file.
Seems only a few are missing now which have the emulation=preliminary (bad) as tag.cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0249_systems_sorted_info|awk '/in 1/||/in-1/||/Driver abl/||/Pocket Dream Console/||/TV Play Classic/||/Driver dgun/||/Driver mc\_/||/Driver mysp/||/fordrace/||/magapad/||/majkon/||/intg5410/||/ppgc200g/||/sudopptv/||/zudugo/||/tak_geig/||/tomcpin/'|grep non-arcade|grep -v jak_|cut -d " " -f2|while read driver;do [[ $(/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml $driver|grep "emulation="|cut -d\" -f4) == good ]] && echo $driver;done 110dance ablmini ablpinb apexc bittboy cdlyoko cybar120 dgun2500 dgun2573 dgun2573a dgun2869 dgun851 dgun853 dgunl3227 dnv200fs dorapdc dturbogt exsprt48 f1392 f3in1 fapocket fcpocket fordrace ii32in1 ii8in1 intact89 itvg48 itvg49 jl2050 lexiseal lexizeus lx_jg7410 lx_jg7415 m505neo m521neo majkon marc101 max10in1 maxx5in1 maxx6in1 mc_110cb mc_138cb mc_7x6ss mc_89in1 mc_8x6cb mc_8x6ss mc_9x6sa mc_9x6ss mc_aa2 mc_cb280 mc_dcat8 mc_dcat8a mc_dg101 mc_dgear mc_sam60 mc_sp69 mc_tv200 mgt20in1 miwi2_16 miwi2_7 msinamco mysprtch mysprtcp mysptqvc namcons1 namcons2 oplayer pdc100 pdc150t pdc200 pdc40t pdc50 pjoyn50 pjoys30 pjoys60 polmega ppgc200g rcapnp react rminitv sen101 senario25 silv35 solargm sudo6in1 sudopptv sy888b sy889 t3in1sa t7in1ss taitons1 taitons2 tak_geig techni4 timetp25 timetp36 timetp7 tmntpdc tomcpin tvbg3a tvbg3b tvbg3c tvbg6a tvbg6b tvsprt10 v4in1eg ventur25 vgcap35 vgcaplet vjpp2 vsmax25v vsmaxtx2 vsmaxx17 vsmaxx77 vsmaxxvd vsplus vt25in1 wldsoctv xing48 zdog zone7in1 zone7in1p zudugo

@DTEAM anytime :)

so..there are more jakks and all in ones working now?

Mame 0.250 version is out now :
https://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=121625#Post121625With every new version more stuff should be working.
For 0.250, more handhelds are added.
If you find a rom you can just place it in the corresponding roms directory and it should work if you update the mame version.Somehow, we have to work on updating the lists and extract this from mame or the what's new file.
-
@Folly nice i will do that!
i want to mention the Sinden guys have a hack version of lr-mame
the install is called " lr-mame-StormedBubbles"
they also have a few hack versions of other mame and mess
the install plays 3 "plug and play" light gun gamesMission: Paintball Powered Up (pballpup) - Perfect accuracy correction. Needs "Boot from CLI" enabled in core options.
Star Wars: Clone Trooper Blaster Game (swclone) - Perfect accuracy correction. Needs "Boot from CLI" enabled in core options.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant & Monster Mayhem (tmntmutm) - Perfect accuracy correctionof course this version of mame launches more than 3 games
but figured I'd mention it since these are plug and plays and maybe it could open more doors? -
We have to test those games . For Jakks, 50% of the roms doesn't work or work with a Wii remote. I'm working on classich at the moment .. I'll check if new "working" systems had been added after.

@DTEAM
here are the 3 scrapes\pics and wheel I made for those 3 "plug n plays" I described above, if you want them
scrapes for those three here

I think a non-arcade lightgun category is more appropriate, don't you think ? (is not yet there but can be created in add-systems-mamedev)
We can already sort on lightgun in the database and there are probably more similar games.
Another problem is that automating a category becomes more difficult because it becomes a compilation of quite some different stuff.
That means obviously more manual editing a category.
This is probably not the route to take.What do you both think @Retrodade @DTEAM ?
-
@Folly yeah, I know what you mean.
they put them in its own category of "plug n play"
they are like jakks I guess? I have mine in arcade since its not LCD and I think 1 or 2 were tiger, I forget the other, thought it said Jakks, but no title load screen on one I believe, but the net search just shown a gun to plug into the TV
I'm just passing the info since they are plug n plays
but where they belong? that's a good question.
put them where you feel is bestI don't own a sinden, but their custom versions of Mame have great accuracy for light guns

Hi Folly, are you able to run tsimquest.zip or 7z (Tiger - Castlevania Simon's Quest). I'm not able for now !
You can update the binary, it's now 250.
The game works. -
This post is deleted! -
@Retrodade
Hi , I took a look and it's fine. They are "plug n play" and they were commercialized. @Folly, I think we could add them to "all in one", what do you think? -
Yes, that's ok.
-
@DTEAM
nice! glad there are 3 more added :) -
