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

I want to make these changes in 253.11 for matching next system drivers with better names :
Detect as
sega32
(cartridge only):
Driver 32x (Genesis with 32X (USA, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver 32xe (Mega Drive with 32X (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver 32xj (Mega Drive with 32X (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcadeDetect as
sega32-cd
(cdrom and cartridge):
Driver 32x_mcd (Mega-CD with 32X (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver 32x_mcdj (Mega-CD with 32X (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver 32x_scd (Sega CD with 32X (USA, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
(sega32-cd isn't in the cygnus-blue-flames theme yet !)Detect as
segacd
(cdrom and cartridge):
Driver megacd (Mega-CD (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver megacd2 (Mega-CD 2 (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver megacd2j (Mega-CD 2 (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver megacda (Mega-CD (Asia, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
Driver megacdj (Mega-CD (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcadeYou see that all drivers have no @good tag so they can have issues.
I have testedmegacd2
ok with 1 game.Are you comfortable with detecting them as these RetroPie names ?
Too many options! , we should forget it . The actual lr- options in Retropie seem to be better. Are you agree?
-
I agree for these Sega CD/Mega CD/Genesis CD systems there are better options in RetroPie.
Indeed quite some options but basically it comes down to a few drivers.
Somehow I need to add recognition otherwise they will be installed somehow in the wrong place, when installed.
So I still want to add this recognition.
I think the sorting will be a good choice once implemented.Edit : updated to 253.11

How is it going with the other systems ?

PCE-CD and NEO-CD working well now. I tried also your new script with NES and it works well!

PCE-CD and NEO-CD working well now
Perfect !
ThanksI tried also your new script
Which one do you use now ?

@Folly
The one from the hyperlink in your first post (253.11) -

I made some rigorous changes to the way systems are displayed when installing.
Can you do some tests for me ?https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/43355c6efd3549d07ee8c44242f3b2ec2427a31f

Another improvement to test :

MAME 0.255 is out.

Yes! Many good systems for us in their list
FROM MAME 0.255:
New working systems

Does the lr-mess-apple2 or lr-mame-apple2 --- need specific bios(es) and in a certain location for that to work? Currently not launching games for me. Be well! Thanks for everything! KudoS!
-
If you run apple2 with mame in the command prompt and not having any bios files installed it will show this :
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame apple2 -ui_active a2.chr NOT FOUND (tried in apple2) OPTIONAL 341-0016-00.d0 NOT FOUND (tried in apple2) 341-0001-00.e0 NOT FOUND (tried in apple2) 341-0002-00.e8 NOT FOUND (tried in apple2) 341-0003-00.f0 NOT FOUND (tried in apple2) 341-0004-00.f8 NOT FOUND (tried in apple2) sc01a.bin NOT FOUND (tried in votrax apple2) 341-0027-a.p5 NOT FOUND (tried in a2diskiing apple2) 341-0028-a.rom NOT FOUND (tried in d2fdc apple2)
So you need to find all bios roms from above, which means :
- apple2.zip
- votrax.zip
- a2diskiing.zip
- d2fdc.zip
My runcommands will force the rompath into using
BIOS/mame
so the bios files need to go there when using this project and it's runcommands.
Otherwise, with above command, it will depend on what rompaths there are in your/opt/retropie/configs/mame/mame.ini
.After adding the files the apple2 should be able to run.
P.s.
Be aware that I am not talking about lr-mess here but if it works for mame it will ultimately work with my lr-mess runcommands. -
@Folly thank you

@Folly Even if it took me somewhat longer, maybe it is time to open a separated topic for vm(ware) and retropie ... [even if it is just being used once in some while].?.
As I never tried pure Debian (always used Distros based on Debian) for now, this questions of mine could/should(?) belong in such a new thread, but just to mentioning 'em (here 1st, as examples of eventually Q's to be A'd):- what debian iso/version to be used for retropie? (currently I've started with 11.7.0, but maybe the 10.# branche would be better suited? [as of June 23])
- what desktop environment? (I've choosen LXDE, as the Raspion OS Desktop is based/derived from that (afair/?))
- I was totally flabberghasted when the installer asked me about a domainname/url ending thereof... so what is common practice, or best choice: <.yourchoice>/<.locale>/[empty] ?
- haven't tried it, but is leaving the admin pw blank an option to auto-add the created user to group sudoers?
(a basic retropie install went fine on that (11.7), but I wanted to raise those concerns/questions before I go
ingon ;] -
Good idea.
Though I am not having much time right now but in time we can start a topic (in general discussions i presume).
I would suggest to preserve the fist 5 posts for summarizing stuff.Sadly I have an issue again with the newest versions of "lr-mame/lr-mess" in Debian 11 now :
https://github.com/libretro/mame/issues/371
Seems Ubuntu 22.04 isn't affected.
Edit : Issue seems to be solved nowOther news for "lr-mame/lr-mess" is that we are waiting for 0.255.
Hopefully it will come soon, this seems promising :
https://github.com/libretro/mame/issues/373 -
Seems I broke all my scripts with my previous updates.
Something to do with skipping things when we install a predefined systems or categories.
Seems I was skipping a bit too much, so it did not install many stuff at all.The problem was quite ugly.
I hope I have fixed it all with my updates to 253.15 ;-) -

Wow, noticed that current mame was updated to .254 some time ago but last time i checked the libretro cores wasn't on par.

Correct, the libretro is still on .251.
Hopefully it wil be synced to .255 soon ;-) -

I updated all scripts to 255.00 using the latest data from mame 0.255 :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/6f9d64de8e838950eedbb47cd588fbe2f70d5cf8I also updated the test versions in the workdir :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/8232367accf37e32d6202d7250d27f5b9efe4a28Note :
Seemscoco2
has been merged withcoco
so the installl-lines from systems with extras need updating.
