Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone
-
Can someone tell me please, if can remember, how much, approximately, time it takes to build lr-mame and lr-mess on an RPi5 ? Thanks
-
Roughly 2 hours.
-
Added some mame0263 binaries.
The RPI4 one is made today to test if this issue would be resolved with it.
(Btw : it has the patch for fmtmarty not showing the popmessages) -

(Btw : it has the patch for fmtmarty not showing the popmessages)Thanks for doing this @Folly! I still haven't gone back to add the new Tiger handhelds to my setup but I will now that I know I don't have to wait for the new binaries.
Emudeck for Steam Deck just recently enabled automated installation of the great new Jaguar emulator (BigPEmu) and Model 2/Model 3, so I have been spending all my time on that for a bit. Then back to all my consolized computers again :).
-
The database for mame263 has been added and the script has been updated to that version.

@Folly do you know if there's art out anywhere yet for the Double Dragon II and Mighty Max Tiger Handhelds? I found two .zips for mame with the background art and a layout file, but no scans of the handhelds themselves to use as images for the gamelists. I could've sworn there was a thread on another forum where they had art before even the games were on MAME, but I can't seem to find it now...
Edit: I dug up the following two. Double Dragon II is perfect but the Mighty Max one is low-res and I had to edit it myself to make it have a transparent backdrop, so if anyone finds a better one for that it would be nice.

I'm waiting the tddragon2 artworks from here
Only Mighty Max is newly available (see here) . Here is my artwork for the gamelist
-
@DTEAM thank you!

@DTEAM thank you!
I updated my gamelist. It's fully done for Mighty Max but partially done for Double Dragon 2. I'm waiting for the Artworks previously mentionned.
-
@DTEAM the background for double dragon 2 is it available anywhere ?
also are you able to move your fighter left and right on the screen?
oddly I can't -
@bbilford83 I made this PNG for the unit of Double Dragon II
I hope this helps at least with the unit image. @DTEAMThis one has a background of screen added perhaps good for gamelist image - https://mega.nz/file/ifgkXTAC#3BeabWHEIEiA31rhzPvlOBnqTfmJAMQo34jDSv-_lew

@Retrodade apologies for the delay, I am actually traveling for fun with my family to Japan for 2 weeks so I don't have access to my raspberry pi setup. I should have shared it before but I did find the background image as part of a zip with one of those .lay files so that it worked in standalone MAME. Obviously the PNG could still be used with a standard overlay setup for Retroarch, but I was using standalone anyway since @Folly had uploaded the binary for it with tweaks.
If I find anymore of those Q&Q game and watch clones on my trip I'll buy them and share pictures! Planning to visit a lot of retro/flea market places.
-
@bbilford83 nice! enjoy ...ok great good to know the background is available at least, no rush to get it, in the meantime enjoy your trip and the hunt of whatever gems you may find!!

Created an artworkfile for gameking.
Can you add it to your drive ?
You can find it over here. -
@Folly
Done! thanks for your artwork file.I tested it... Great. Nice work
-
Created one for gameking3 too.
Same place.Btw.
Stumbled upon a problem with creating the artwork.
It is not that obvious but you need picture resolutions that have "even" numbers, otherwise you get tearing lines instead of a good picture.
Took me a while to find this.Will place it in the first post.
-
@Folly
I uploaded it on my Gdrive. thanks!
If you find boxes images for gameking3. Let me know svp. -

@Retrodade I am back from Japan (sadly) and here is the background image I used for Double Dragon:
Hope it helps!
I'm sure nobody needs me to share that Japan is insane for retrogaming finds, but it was much crazier than I expected, and sadly I couldn't bring anything real back home because of our packing situation. Super Potato was as amazing as everyone says, but really the gold mine is the secondhand stores in less touristed areas. These pics are from a Book Off Super Bazaar in Nagoya. Everything is "untested" but in my experience from buying watches the success rate is insanely high compared to America, and they may already be confirmed working by the seller even when they say otherwise (I've bought watches described as "junk" that were literally unused in their boxes with papers).
That's about $6 USD. They had at least 5 other examples, one was boxed with all cords and stuff and was about $12 but I forgot to take pictures.
Not all that vintage but if you have hacked a wii u in the past few years you know that under $24 USD for one with the gamepad is nuts.
And on the games side, I didn't bother noting the prices but these were absolutely dirt cheap, like a few dollars each.
Those red, blue, and green bins are dozens if not hundreds of loose Famicom, Super Famicom, and N64 games.
