      The mame 274 binary has been added to the gdrive.

      I added the new 274 ini files.
      Can you check these here ?

      It works well

        @DTEAM

        Thanks for checking and adding some that are not automatically found by my script.

        I have committed the ones for all_in1 here.
        For classich I did the same here.
        For classich I will try to add automatic detection for the new ones later.
        I believe :

        your list misses tama and trclchick

        tama is there (last one) and yes trclchick (classich) is missing , thanks

        epo_tetris must be epo_tetr
        Right ?

        Yes

        Can you check a second time ?
        After that I think we are good to go and use the inis for updating the database.

          Thanks.
          Seems we have all our new data for 274.
          I will wait for the new data from progettosnaps and then create the new database.

            Read this post.
            Looks like many systems will work much better now on arm with mame 274.

                Here is the commit for the drivers that, most likely, will benefit from the arm dynarec improvement :

                Btw.
                Rumours, on the internet, are that arm64 will do a better job than intel64, we will see !

                  Here is the commit for the drivers that will use separate audio samples :
                  https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/0250f4d4f0822f49c1b33506fc8e8054472b10d7

                  When I update the mamedev.sh script to 274 it will be possible to download these files from within the script.
                  And it should then also be possible to install the category "samples" and "dynarec" so all these drivers can be placed in 1 romfolder to test.

                      I have not added any help yet,
                      Can you let me know if you understand how the samples are downloaded and if you can detect the difference in running the games with or without?

                        I reinstalled MAME with your new mamedev.sh, but what's the next step? Do I need to install a new system or reinstalled one?

                          I added the tags samples to the database.
                          These categories can also be installed now.
                          You have to use :
                          ►Choose and install HANDHELD/PLUG&PLAY/CATEGORIES
                          ►Show all arcade categories from database and install one
                          Category => samples
                          For linking the roms then use :
                          ►Link roms from folder ~/RetroPie/BIOS/mame
                          ►Show all arcade categories from database and link roms
                          Category => samples

                          Now you will be able to run the roms from that category but they still don't have the audio samples installed.

                          If you want to install the audio samples then go to :
                          ►ARTWORK/CHEATS/GAMELISTS/JOYSTICKS/OVERLAYS/PATCHES/SAMPLES
                          Download/update mame audio samples

                          Now you you should be able to notice the difference.
                          Run 005 and you will see.

                          Speaking of drivers with audio samples, it seems that these non-arcade handheld use them too :
                          kst25 ktmnt2 ktopgun2
                          If you have installed the sample files then you should be able to notice the difference when loading them from your own konamih categorie.
                          (did not test is myself yet, will have a look later)

                          I think you know how to install the arcade dynarec catergory now to test only the drivers that use dynarec.

                            So I do what you wrote above and Dynarec works automatically, right?

                              It works !!! I tested ktmnt2 and now we can heard the Ninja Turtle voice. That's great! It's very good for game with voices. For 005 the sound is better and different when shooting.
                              Comment: maybe you should add .7z with the .zip in the Link roms from folder ~/RetroPie/BIOS/mame by default. Now it's only .zip . Thank you for your hard work!

                                  Good to hear that you have worked it out.
                                  Will have a look at that 7z idea so you can choose between .zip or 7z.

                                    I had the idea to make a sophisticated change but it seemed too difficult so I added a quick possibility to link .7z files.

                                    Let me know if this solution is good enough.
                                    (update 274.01)

                                      Hi Folly

                                      Have you work on runcommand.sh in your scritp? Since I did the installation, I have this message in my log when I try to load Xinit-wmc for any other emulators

                                      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1330: XINIT-WMC:: command not found
                                      

                                      Maybe it's not linked. I’ll reinstall the original one.
                                      New edit: fixed , I reinstalled runcommand. Maybe double check on your side

                                        I did not work on the runcommand.sh.
                                        I think it's something else.

                                          Recently I played with MESA and Vulkan to install an emulator in developement at an early stage for Nintendo 3DS. Probably that.
