MAME development: lr-mame2003 Updates

[darknior]

WOAW so cool to found some one working on MAME 2003 for PI (and PC)
It is one of the best emulator ever :)
On xBox 1, with a 700Ghz proc and 64 Mo RAM we can play so many games, why not on PI lol

On xBox Mr gamezfan help by IQ_132 update our MAME 2003 with many code and drivers take on the last PC MAME versions ... to have more games fixed and 100% playable and some new one, always on the old MAME core faster on old machines :)

Maybe, i think it is a good idea, you can speak with him and watch his code, compare with yours, to upgrade PI version like the xBox version. The best one i think for light computers.
If i remember fine, it is based on MameDox that is a fork of MAME 0.84.

@darknior mame 0.78 has an x86 dynarec for the MIPS cpu used by killer instinct, so it already runs much quicker on x86 hardware (eg a PC, or the original xbox). pi systems have an ARM cpu, and there is no dynarec for that. their code is not helpful here - i've already looked at it.

[darknior]

@dankcushions Ok i understand it will not help for the CPU because it is not an ARM one for sure.
But it can help you to take fix for games, and drivers updates adapted for an old MAME. IQ_132 work hard a lot for it ...
I think it is a good idea ... or maybe not :p

[darknior]

So news updates to come :)

[markwkidd]

@darknior could you mention any specific games that this fork of MAME is better at than mame2003? That would be a more helpful starting point :D

[darknior]

@markwkidd I don't have test all the games myself ... and for the moment we use LR-FBA & MAME 2003 :p :(
My friend select FBA for most of games, and they are working fine.
But we will change ROMSET and settings to use more time MAME 2003. I love to have the CHEAT option for my little children, it is very important because if not, it is so hard and they can't play many games :(
And in MAME 2003 we also have an INPUT menu to configure PAD for each games.

• I try Undercover cops : A game i love, on FBA the sound is crappy, on MAME 2010 it is better, but it is only perfect on MAME 2003 !

But my friend began again to test all the arcade games one by one to make a new working pack for our project. He will try to use most of time with the MAME 2010 version :)
Like he tell me, the guy of Happy game center write that 2010 version is the best one on PI.

But you must correct some games like Undercover Cops, and add the CHEAT and INPUT menu to make it perfect.

• Mame 2003 was 0.78 version.

• I'm not sure the xBox version was maybe the 0.84

• The Mame 2010 version is the 0.139

• Gals panic S & S2 ... : I try them on PI and nothing work with FBA, MAME 2003 & 2010, on xBox they fix these games some years ago ;)

Adding fixing more than 150 games on xBox MAME : The best ever version for little computers.

The 1.0 version with Darius screen fix etc ... was so fantastic, we don't have that on PI :(

[maxbeanz]

@darknior The only thing with lr-mame2010 is that all vertical games display at the wrong ratio (stretched) and the only way to correct it is from the Retroarch menu. I also like mame2010 because a lot of analogue games can be easily played with a d-pad, and a few games have joystick versions. Because mame2003 works well for most games no-one is going to bother to improve mame2010 (unless a Pi 4 is released maybe). FinalBurn doesn't care about accuracy so a few of the games play too fast (double dragon plays like it's 2x speed for example), and some games play slower than mame2003.

[darknior]

@maxbeanz Thanks for your answer. If i understand fine, for you :

• At the moment on PI3 the best MAME to use is 2003 (0.78) !
  Because it works well for most games :)
• FBA is not accuracy and we must use it only for some games that not working on MAME 2003.
  I use it for Neogeo with Universal BIOS and it works very fine, what do you think about that ?
• MAME 2010: It show vertical games at wrong ratio but we can fix it, it is not a reason to like it ?
  .................... It is best for games with analogue control to play with them DPad. Mame 2003 don't ? Have you a list of these games i'm interested. Like you speak about games with joystick ...

So bad no one want to update MAME 2010 to make works more games like on xBox, or update MAME 2003 drivers ... i know it is some work to do it, but it is not like creating a new emulator from scratch.
@gamez fan always write he don't know code, and only COPY PASTE drivers from other sources ... and when it is so hard IQ_132 help him :)

Like you write we can stand, and i stand for the PI4 lol
More powerfull for 3DO, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, PSP ... and arcade games.
Maybe it will help to found some one to upgrade MAME 2010 but it is not sure :(

@markwkidd are my informations help you ?

@dankcushions You write me Mame 0.78 has an x86 dybarec for MIPS CPU used by some games ...
Nobody never code one for ARM on any MAME version ?

[darknior]

@gamesfan is agree with me :) It can be really fantastic on PI to make same work on MAME than on xBox.

@gamesfan said :

Well they have a few MAME Emulators to choose from already from what i gather the older
MAME versions perform better on the PI while the newer cores not so much i guess the
best of both worlds kinda deal is to cherrypick some of the improvements and new game
support that we have in the MAMEoXtras Src and backport it to the PI MAME78 core.
.
There would be a fair amount of graft in this due to the code diffs between the versions
i guess in the end it all comes down to whether on not active PI dev's are interested in
doing it i suppose they might have been more keen was it not for the multiple versions of
MAME they have already.
.
The MAME84 core will actually support more games than MAME78 and that was even before
over the years we've updated the MAMEoXtras core to fix and add even more here is the
full breakdown of work done by myself and others maybe something might be of interest
here to those PI dev's who prefer the older MAME78 core.

Full list of updates :

mame2010 also doesn't support more than 2 players. i would update it but there's a lot to do, and for me i think mame2003 is better for pi as more games are full speed. at some point, just run latest mame on a better CPU if you want most games supported.

@darknior said in MAME development: lr-mame2003 Updates:

@dankcushions You write me Mame 0.78 has an x86 dybarec for MIPS CPU used by some games ...
Nobody never code one for ARM on any MAME version ?

as far as i know they have only ever implemented dynarecs for x86 platforms. maybe one from an n64 emulator could be backported, but i wouldn't be able to do that.

I could have a look at lr-mame2010 issues again.
I had a look like a year ago to get it working on my XU4 and indeed the libretro port of it is very primitive compared to MAME 2003.

Thanks, yes it's what i think, take it from an other emulator and include in MAME. But i know it is many many work to do ... N64 is a good choice :)

WOAW ... Only 2 players, no cheat and no input conf by game ... i really don't like this emu lol

To update MAME 2003 it is not a real coder work. Like write @gamesfan he copy and past drivers. And with the time he become stronger to do it and update MAME more and more. It's why i wish and i think it is possible to found some one to do it :) :p
For the hard work, at the moment we also have IQ_132 that help a lot ...

If nobody do it, we will never have all the good Arcade games on our PI.
The PI 4, 5, 6 will be stronger and faster, but the ARM problem and drivers problems will be always here :(

but not you? hmm.

it is not so simple. mame had a big refactor soon after 0.78 (i think before 0.84) which changed a lot of the memory stuff and the driver structure. it's not so easy to backport new drivers to this old version.

besides, Iq_132 is working on fba now: http://neosource.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?topic=980.0
fba works great on the pi3, so that's where your best hope of getting mame drivers backported. i am not interested in changing the core emulation of mame 0.78 - i have enough to do with making sure the libretro version works well (controls, etc)

I disagree. I think we have a great combination of working arcade emulators on the Pi for all of the "good Arcade games", and with emulator overlap, we actually choices for many of the classics. This lets us get away with smaller boards like the Zero.

Imagine if the recent effort poured into lr-mame2003 was misdirected to mame4all. I think we have a good balance of performance and romset coverage with 2003 and it was the right place to focus on features and enhancements.

Let's not forget AdvanceMAME which takes up some slack too, especially with vector games (which also work in 2003, they just look better in AdvMAME). You also get a bump in the romset to .106.

He's just plugging the emulator he uses frequently and looking toward the future which is ok or maybe specific games he would like to see working like Gal's Panic (games_fan said they have been playable in FBA for a while now...I saw that post). ;)

I wouldn't say intentions are bad by any means and the emulation scene isn't quite that dire either. You might think several of these old platforms would be on life-support but the force of nostalgia is strong. Most are quite healthy and prospering.

I saw your other post in another forum about either poor explanation or lack of motivation to show interest to merge the two projects. People due to time restraints, family, resources, etc. do what they can when they can. Someone seems to tweak them eventually for the most popular games and a few others if they are feeling it.

It basically looks like MAME port to the XBOX based on 0.84 with a few extra games? That's a tough sell when mame2003 is sitting so close. Each successive version does add more games but between 0.78 and 0.84 are they main stream quality games of significance or just additional clones and niche games.

My other thought is what is the goal? It seems like the target demographic is entirely different. Basically XBOX (x86) vs. Pi (ARM). I think the majority of users here are Pi based but not all. I don't think it's a lack of motivation at all as stated on the other forum.

I do think you make a good point here.

To update MAME 2003 it is not a real coder work. Like write @gamesfan he copy and past drivers. And with the time he become stronger to do it and update MAME more and more.

The groups that program these drivers from scratch I would imagine are a pretty small circle and the rest are cutting, pasting or tweaking from that code. Kind of like a hacker vs. a script kiddie or skiddie. If it was easy then this conversation wouldn't even exist. Talking and understanding "theory" vs. actual implementation are two different things entirely!

Imagine if the recent effort poured into lr-mame2003 was misdirected to mame4all.

I wouldn't call it a total misdirect or even a TKO...yet...sometimes active development dictates direction. I do prefer the shaders and analog stick support but prefer mame4all's input configuration. I can't think of any "deal breaker" mainstream games that are supported in 0.78 vs. 0.37b5 but if I remember I think I had to move a few significant games to AdvMAME that 0.78 broke when phasing out mame4all-pi. All the golden age era games where implemented early in the MAME development cycle in addition.

@dankcushions said in MAME development: lr-mame2003 Updates:

but not you? hmm.

Yes i think if one day i have free time, i will try ... i think i can do it. I will not code new drivers like write @Riverstorm ... i will use them and adapt them. But for the moment i'm already in a project with friends, tons of games to try, many Xtra to release (Covers, videos, title) a new skin ... i can't do all my self lol
And i don't speak of my wife and my children :p
I know for Iq_132, but he always help coders on xBox on MAME & FBA, it is a cool guy if we have questions.

@caver01 I don't try AdvanceMAME ... is it really better for Vector games ? Or others ?
I must try some good vector games and search if we can use the background images on MAME.

@Riverstorm you are real, all the quality games where add on MAME v0.78 & 0.84. No many more after that ... but some ... AND some fix, and there are really interesting to make some games working better.
@gamesfan add many fix to make games playable.

Gal's Panic S & S2 don't work on the PI version of FBA ... so strange ... on x86 they works fine.
But we made new tests, with the good ROMSET and the last MAME 2003 compiled from source and now they are working fine :)
We will try on the FULL SET one by one !

I'm ok with you, same problem for me. It's why search some coders to help. And only to add great games, no crappy clones. It's what @gamesfan do. Or fixing bugs, speed and controls.

I don't know AdvMAME or the set to use with it. It is not a LR emulator with all the cool LR options ... but if you write me it works fine, i can try it for some games.

@darknior said in MAME development: lr-mame2003 Updates:

@gamesfan is agree with me :) It can be really fantastic on PI to make same work on MAME than on xBox.

Well im not sure that i agree with ya buddy not knowing the in's and out's of MAME Emulation on the PI, from reading the posts it's maybe time you let up on this :)

BTW your after some Kaneko Supernova games Gals Panic Series right..?? did you know that in currant FBA dink has added some speedhacks to the
driver which are hooked to the SH-2 CPU core this should give the games a significant performance boost.

Im not sure what version of FBA the currant PI port is based from but check the dip switch options where the speedhacks can be enabled or better yet ask
one of the FBA PI dev's to enable them by default in the driver.

Edit seems like i jumped the gun i assumed wrongly you were having trouble around the performance of the Supernova games i see now from your last post these
games actually dont work in PI FBA for some reason on ARM based hardware i know the RA boys have similar problems with their FBA port.

Regards!!

It uses MAME 0.106. Follow this guide for tweaking AdvMAME to vector game nirvana! Vector games look better on AdvMAME than any other emulator so far due to vector specific features exclusive to AdvMAME and @caver01 has written an excellent guide to achieve those results. Look at the link to see a few screenshots! :)

Im not sure what version of FBA the currant PI port is based from

• lr-fbalpha - v0.2.97.42
• lr-fbalpha2012 - v0.2.97.30
• PiFBA - v0.2.96.71

Here's a link to the FBA Pi documentation. The lr- prefixed to the name signifies it's a Libretro core that uses Retroarch as a front-end in contrast to PiFBA which is standalone. They all use Emulationstation as the graphical user interface & RetroPie to further unify the settings and added functionality under one GUI.

The number of emulators and ports supported is incredible. Even the standalone emulators many times can be tweaked to mimic Retroarch inputs so as to function the same such as adding credits and exiting emulators. This helps make GUI interface integration seamless. The links should help explain.

Main RetroPie documentation page. The "Arcade" link on the left side is where you'll locate the MAME documentation for the different emulators and the corresponding ROM set versions used.

Also there's specific sections as they pertain to RetroPie in regards to Retroarch & Emulationstation. The documentation for RetroPie is extremely useful if you want to learn about it.

Yes i think if one day i have free time, i will try ... i think i can do it.

That would be wonderful! ;)

[darknior]

@riverstorm Thanks very much for all your informations :)
I know most of them but not all, it's cool :)

[ward614]

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post a request for a software change, but here I go.

I would like to request that changes be made to how game pad input is read for games like Pac-man and Donkey Kong which traditionally used 4-way joysticks.

Right now using any controller other than a specific 4-way joystick makes it easy to miss turns as diagonal inputs are treated as blank. I think it would be great if these games could instead take the most recently pressed cardinal direction as the way to move. This would greatly improve performance of a number of widely popular classic games.

I don't know if you want to take this up or not, but here it is regardless.
