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

Can you test it again.
I updated the script.
The config directory for mame is back to default.
It should be fixed now.https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/ffb480144328b436625d7c03266e5092771dc109

@Folly, done! makes more sense to "keep the discussion in the family" if you will... :-)
Thanks for the update and I will swap in the new script!

https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/77b05a8d5c605e7c0f99444939b45bf971319b72It works perfectly !!!! Savestates also with system name (see Gamate)

Gamate and MSX2 (I did my tests on Gamate for now)
Today, I tested MSX2 (cartridge) and it works well . Is it possible to combine MSX2 (Sony HB-F700) extra with default (flop and cart). We have to do two installations to do that. Also, I think you could add MSX 2 in your categorie (systems discussed in the forum). MAME is now my favorite emulator for MSX2; gamepad easy to set and a working savestate. I'll be able to play MetalGear and save my game without black screen.
Great job!!!
-
Nice to hear that it works so good. ;-)
I think it's possible to split all the MSX1/MSX2/MSX2+/TURBO-R machines so it will be installed as the retropie-name/categories msx/msx2/msx2+/msxturbor.
ALL DONE, everything looks good, ready for testing.
Added recognition for "Atari 7800" too. (a7800->atari7800)I have had the idea to combine the default and extra installers so it can be installed in one go.
For now, I don't have a good idea on how to accomplish that.
I will have a look at it. -

Re-read your post.
Now on second thought, I think you mean something different than what I implemented.
Did you mean that you want the hbf700p in the "pre-sorted-lists / forum-list" ?Edit :
Added to the predefined forum list :- vg802020 (MSX1)
- hbf700p (MSX2)

@Folly
I tested a fresh installation of classich today and the command lines in emulator.cfg doesn't work. I don't know why. Also., we could add lr-gw emulator in the list for classich.lr-gw = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-gw/gw_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/classich/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" -
Will have a look at classich if I can find some problems.
EDIT:
Adding lr-gw will be problematic to implement, I think.

I have no problem with classich, everything seems ok.
I think it's a problem on your side.
Can you check the runcommand.log ?A week ago I had a problem with classich.
The rom files I had were 0kb, that was my problem back then. -

I can have a look.
EDIT:
Added a new line combining the 2 installs (classich +lr-gw).
When everything looks good, then we have to change the HELP part, in the line, later.Not needed anymore :
If it can't be done nicely then making a modified 3rd-party module-script for lr-gw can also be a possibility.https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/d406ca32ec48a660f27c7f2cf122b7d58ae8653c

I was able to "cure" it for myself by just copying the lines missing from my previous install. It works good for now. :)
-
From now on I will try to update only 1 file to save some time :
00-scriptmodules-00/supplementary/add-mamedev-systems.sh
And I will try to stop updating versions in the00-workdir-00if possible.Electron can now be used with dfs210 to load disks.
This add will increase the possibility to load many more disks, just like elkulator does.
To load with the correct bios was problematic, they helped me out here :

Thanks ;-)
Have you also been thinking of adding the bezels from here :

Into the mame artwork ? -

Into the mame artwork ?If you haven't done so already, definately try them. They're great. Really adds to the game.
I have bezel's from all over, and many I made combining artwork from other artists working on MAME. Makes a world of difference to the look of the game!
-
Yes, I have tried them.
Would be nice when it's possible to integrate them into the Standalone Mame Artwork (from our downloads in the script) and the possibility to then extract the bezels for lr-mess and build them up with the correct .cfg files, just like we do with the backgrounds of many handhelds.
Then we only have to download the artwork in the script and generate the bezels for lr-mess without having to download the bezels and create all these .cfg files separately .

Into the mame artwork ?I use them with instructions from @jamrom2 (thanks by the way!). However, the Pengo-specific instructions don't work for me. I don't know if it's because I have a 5" screen. If I have some time, I could convert some to MAME artworks. In some cases, they already existed in MAME artwork format.
-
So when some of them already exist then we could use these.
Only the bezel has to be always the same name in the specific <artwork>.zip (for example bezel.png).
Then we can extract them just like we do with background.png and create overlay configs specific to the bezels.What do you think, can we make that happen ;-)
We can just start with only 1 and see how it goes.
Btw.
