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

Folly

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

Folly

@DTEAM

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

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

Folly

@DTEAM

Ok.
Thanks for letting me know.

Btw
Good initiative !

Folly

I dropped the new aarch64 275 mame binary for rpi3,4,5.

DTEAM

@Folly
MAME 0.275 (new games)

~~The Block Kuzushi - tblkkuzug All_in_one (not sure if it's arcade or handheld, it's not Nintendo's)~~
Elektronika Basketbol - elbaskb Classich
Tronica Space Adventure trspacadv Classich
Konami Chequered Flag kchqflag Konamih

Folly

I have added them to the ini files for the future.

Folly

@DTEAM

Updated to 275.

These 4 classich drivers were somehow removed :
epo_tetr
gigapets
stackch
venusdm

Not sure why.
Perhaps they don't even belong there in the first place.
We might need to check it.

Edit :
I checked earlier commits and files and above drivers were not in earlier classich.ini's.
Somehow github presents a wrong diff over here.
Conclusion, all should be good.

Edit 2 :
Altered the databases with the info from here :
Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME
Should be fixed now for data 274 and 275.

Folly

To get the latest things :
- Update the script in order to get the latest good database !
- Update the artwork as new ones are added by @DTEAM !
- Create ovelays again to get the latest added backgrounds !

Folly

New versions of 275 lr-mess and lr-mame binaries have been added.

Folly

New versions of mame 276 binaries have been added.
No lr-mame/lr-mess yet.

DTEAM

@Folly

I didn't see anything for us in this version.

Folly

@DTEAM

No I didn't either.

I read some nice things though :

Philips CDI improvements
faster ARM dynarec improvements

That is why I only made a binary for rpi5 to get the most out of it.

Folly

Updated to 276.

DTEAM

@Folly

MAME 0.277 is now available
https://www.mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0277.txt

Columbus Circle FC Compact 88-in-1 (CC-SFFC-WT) (Japan) [TeamEurope, David Haywood] . It looks like it's a new Famicom console with a cartrige of 88 games . I'll double check it.

Folly

@DTEAM

Found that there is also some new neogeo stuff.

Folly

The mame 277 binaries have been added.

Folly

@DTEAM

Can you check for me if the aarch64 binary works on the rpi4 ?

DTEAM

@Folly
Sure , I'll test it at the end of next week.
