Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone

@folly Yes, I noticed this. I hadn't said anything because I wasn't sure it was me or Mess. So now you confirmed it. It's not just the ".", it's a few keys in that area. I wonder if there is a region setting for the keyboard? Not sure it made a difference with the Ti99, but it is odd that some of the lower right keys are not working.
I remapped the "." to the "-" as I don't see the need for the "-" just yet.
Ok, this solution worked for me too.
To be able to use theshifttoo I had to set the keyboard on emulated instead of natural.
Perhaps I have to remove the "keyboard natural mode", what do you think ? -
@folly I think that's a good call. I find I have to switch back and forth. But I don't see how to delete on emulated. Works on Natural. I'll just have to re-map the key to something else.
Works better in Emulated anyway.
-
Tested keyboard emulated mode in both mame and lr-mess.
Indeed it works far better.
Improvements with both :
- We are able to use the ti99 function keys, which do not work in natural mode.
- we also reduce the amount of text in our loaders a our and our loader names
Improvements in lr-mess :
- We are able to use
capslockandshiftand thedotkey when reassigned
I will remove the
-natoption in all lines. -
I found that there is still a huge development around the ti99.
A Richard Gilbertson is still working on a combination :
- Rich eXtended Basic
- Rich Editor Assembler
There is a 2021 version in rpk and they are working on a 2022 version.
I think it could replace allsuperxbandeditassloaders.It looks like this :
You should probably e-mail me so I can give you some more information.
(you can find my e-mail by clicking on my user information) -
@folly I can see where this will definately streamline the loading process, but this is certainly a system you need to have some familarity with or be willing to make input. It's not like a C64, CPC or Atari.
I didn't own one, so it's a learning curve, but fun to use. It's serious old school input when there was not DOS. LOL.
You can hit me on jamrom2 (at) yahoo (dot) com.
I just wish there was a way to improve the performance. I understand why it's poor, many of the discreet circuits on MAME arcade emulator suffer the same. It has to do with how the data is processed in the circuits. Not easy to emulate with software.
Maybe some of this work and that make it available in the Retropie Libretro format will trigger someone to look at it again.

Indeed, same with me.
I did a commit :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/blob/de4c502ef629317ff9eb6740739c42f46d21b3fc/00-workdir-00/backup/add-mamedev-systems-0238_test.shRemoved the
-natoption (keyboard natural mode) and added a fewrxb2021loaders too.
To have a better overview I decided to place therxb2021.rpkfile into :
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ti99_4a/ti99_cart_rpk
The rxb2021 loader will search in that directory for the cartridge file. -

As soon as I get in to the GUI, I can check my controller assignments and see why I'm missing "UP". All other buttons and directions work fine.
I tried lr-mess and I had issues also with the "UP".
When I enable "CAPS-LOCK" I am able to use the "UP" key. -
I just updated some dl lines because 1 didn't work anymore.
I also added the word
mameas an option to the lr-mess basename loaders because the last lr-mess 0.239 binary didn't work without it.Don't know if you had that problem, but I hope it has been fixed now.

@dteam Hi, can i ask about where to get apfm1000 games
-
@xxcitoxx Do not ask for ROMs/BIOS/copyrighted material in the forums - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules.
-
@folly I've been finishing up my CoCo2 list, and working on my CoCo3 now. I'm going to make a dedicated Tandy CoCo3 logo as well as I think it's warranted to seperate the two visually rather than just a Tandy logo.
I'll play around with this tonight as well.
-
@xxcitoxx as mitu already pointed out... That's a no-no. Google is your friend with everything related to ROM/BIOS files. Might take some time, but you'll find everything.

Nice to hear !
The CoCo2 list, is that a gamelist with media showing in emulationstation ?
If so, we should add it to the google-drive of @DTEAM, so everyone can download it in the script.
Can we make that possible ? -
@folly I don't know if that would help anyone as far as meta-data. It's my gamelist based on whatever I named or used, so their ROMs would need to match whatever I have in my file.
As much as I would love to share it all, it's definitely not a full list, and it's a lot of hand-picked games.
But I will admit, I've done everything I can to use the best versions of box art I could find for every game system I have. I've even made some of my own when needed.
-
I understand, all those different files and filenames can be a problem.
Is it an idea to make a separate thread for making shareable ES gamelists with media and try to make some solutions for dealing with above issue ?

Yes, it's a good idea but we should do that for MAME roms (.zip and .7z) only. Otherwise there are too many different kinds of roms names for a single game.

Yes, that's a good start.
I will make a new thread.
I think we should reserve the first 4 posts for summarization.
So I will take the first and the second posts.
Can you take the third ?
And @jamrom2 should take the fourth.That way all 3 of us can be the "admin" for the thread.
The first can then redirect to the second,third and fourth post so we can all can be the "admin" of the thread or splitting up some summarisation tasks.Good idea ?

@folly
I'll modify what I wrote in my third post depending what you will write in your first post. -
That's ok.
Lets see how it evolves, we are quite flexible now. -
