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

Aha, good to know that it works with loading it as cartridges.
Looked at the cpc-61 but can't find a way to add a drive.
This page doesn't show that there is a drive port also.
So can't help you with that. -

So can't help you with that.No problem! At least that means I don't need to test a ton of new games. Thank you for trying.

@bbilford83 I d/led another rom that should have worked but it had weird graphics like the last one. I'm befuddled about this bowling microvision game.

Just FYI I have a gamelist and art up there now for Zemmix (consolized MSX) but I am only a few days away I think from finishing it and it will be about 4x as many games as it is now. So I wouldn't put that one up yet if you end up getting to it soon :). I'll tag you and @Folly when I finish it.

For making a theme, I leave it up to you.
I looked at this console and it's working on my VM and most likely will run on the RPI too.
You have to draw and put colours in the pictures.
At first drawing / colouring / erasing didn't seem to work but you have to use lctrl+lshift to change the behaviour.I do not have the 261 database yet but if you want to try you can add an entry to the 260 database (as root), something like this :
Driver videoart (LJN’s VideoArt (Europe)): @game_console@good@home_videogame@non-arcade@Example :

Alright @Folly and @DTEAM, I am finally done with my work on Zemmix. It has 434 working games! That's more than dreamcast, saturn, etc... lots of other big systems. And that is still with only cartridge games and only games that don't need a keyboard at all. There are a huge number of MSX-exclusives, especially shmups, so I am glad I spent the effort to do this. Hopefully some others will use the work too.
In the same google drive link as before you will still find correctly-nested folders that have both a gamelist (in the gamelists/zemmix) and matching art (in two different folders, (downloaded_media/msx2 and downloaded_images/zemmix). I know this is clunky and weird, but MSX is really poorly-scraped in all databases, and I had to do a LOT of descriptions from scratch (by watching/playing games) or by digging them up in weird places, often from Japanese-language MSX fan websites (I used google translate). So after I initially tried normal scraping in screenscraper I figured out a better way but had to switch the folder location. I'm too exhausted to do the work to combine all the art in one place and edit the gamelist entries one by one accordingly, but it will work perfectly this way even if it's kind of strange.
There are still at least two other similar systems that can install via your script that I would like to add and I can share them too: Commodore 64 Games System and Atari XEGS. They are both computers that usually have keyboards turned into game consoles, which shipped with no keyboard. So I'd like to do the exact same thing I did here.
-
Great work, as you see I did the themes for the Zemmix ones now too.
I will have a look at your gamelists when I can.Can you add your base google drive folder id, I can't seem to find it anywhere.

@Folly one other thing, I did briefly try the XEGS and the system installed correctly with the script, games are loading properly with xegs bios in the right place, but for some reason no matter what I try controls do nothing. I checked and the games are properly loading the two controllers both as a standard atari 1-button joystick (joy) which is what they should be doing. I tried disabling player 1 and player 2 each, still no luck. Also tried messing around in keyboard selection... emulated vs. natural, etc. Still no controls :(. If you have any ideas I'd welcome them, nothing like this happened with any of the other systems that I can recall.
-
I tested the keyboard as joystick with airball and it worked by default on mame and lr-mess in my x86_64 VM.
Can't test right now with a real joysick.Also tested choplift and some other game but these didn't seem to load as the roms seems to be still old. Have to look again later.

Added zemmix / zemmix2 to the theme.
Thanks Folly! Now merged
-
Thanks !

I have taken a look at your zemmix/zemmix2 gamelists and overall it looks quite good.
Only not sure why the images have quite a low resolution.
I have re-ordered the folder structure so it can be shared with the script.
I placed them (zemmix/zemmix2) over here.If you are happy you an ask @DTEAM if he wants to host it for you/us.

I'm not sure about the resolution, they are the standard pics from usual sources (mostly screenscraper). But it's fine with me, use it however you'd like, thanks for reordering!

That's interesting, joystick with airball is a different option than standard joystick? I am not near my computer but I will test it out later. Is that something that could be loaded by default from the runcommand or saved somehow in a config?
