Seems the mame basename line doesn't work on both x86_64 and the pi4.
It works on my Pi4
Where is your mame.ini located ?
in
opt/retropie/configs/mamenew edit:
I added the location in my comment above -
Perfect !
That works !Just tried the lr-mame_libretro.so nightly on my x86_64 renaming it as /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so
It just runs trough the runmess.sh script just like mess_libretro.so does.
The file-size is a bit different but other than that it's looks the same package but just the name is different. -

@dteam Ok. Because I use softlists and cart type so I do not need -cart. All roads lead to Roma in the end. Different methods, same result. All supracan games should work as they are.
-
@folly Sound weird. Do you download the suggested lr-mame nightly I gave you download link? Do you use the same method with me via softlist and cart type chosen? I do not use automatic script just do manually. It should work under Ubuntu. Maybe you miss some points on the road.

Thanks for letting me know. I will try run_mess.sh when I have free time later.

I tried as you suggested, but it seems i am missing something here.
Not sure what though.Don't have that much time to try every time, I will try again later.
Btw. how good are you games running ?
-
@folly perfect as it used to be in official MAME. Tested! See some pictures above for fun!
-
Pictures are looking good :-)
Can you check your sha1sums with mine ?

@folly If you download from MAME Softlist 0.202 archive, they should be the same. I will check SHA later and tell you results soon.

You don't need to download the softlist. It's already in / opt / retropie / emulators / mame / hash with the latest standalone version of MAME if you updated it.The problem is that MAME points there but not Lr-Mess and maybe also lr-MAME. You need to force them to go there or "cut and paste" the hash files into the appropriate folders for lr-Mess and / or lr-mame (only if you want to use softlists - not an obligation - advantage = cheat codes and MAME artworks).
Do you have sound with your Supracan games.
I have no sound on my side -
@dteam Could you share me your compiled mame standalone you are using to test?
I would like to use script run_mess.sh without using softlist just for my trial.
No sound with all games of supracan system due to emulator even with the lastest official MAME 0.232.
Thanks! -

@dteam thanks a lot. Could you share me your compiled mame standalone you are using to test? Thanks!
Now, I'm using MAME 0.229 on my Pi4 (usually, I update it from source). If I do the update, it will be
0.3320.232 probably. -
@dteam 232 not 332. Could you share me your current version?
-
@hhtien1408
sorry my mistake. My current version is MAME 0.229 -
For Datach, I'm able to run it with those lines:
mame-system-nes_datach-cart = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c nes datach -cart2 %ROM%" mame-system-nes_datach-cart-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -autoframeskip nes datach -cart2 %ROM%"
I'm not able to run it with Lr-Mess and softlist for now

nes datach
Perhaps I will try and implement this in the 2v2 version.
I already have done some work on 2v2.
There are many thing I want to change or add in this version.Also adding just lines for specific systems.
Problem, for now, is that the if functions are at the moment coming inside the generated module-scripts.
I want these if functions outside the generated module-scripts. Perhaps I can find a way.
This can be done in a similar way fornes detach
, I think.Perhaps
nes detach
will work on lr-mess with my discovered lr-mess direct line.
Maybe I will have some time to test that.We will have to see how it goes.
edit:
The mame lines work for me too.
Tested some experimentallr-mess direct
lines, not working right now. -
I got it working with lr-mess.
The trick was, it has to find the hash tables !
Otherwise it won't work.I had a look in the the original lr-mess module-script.
Hash tables for lr-mess have to be in/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/hash/*.xml
.
It seems lr-mess looks for them in that directory.
I created a link from : /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/hash
Copying will also work, I think.Then I used a direct lr-mess line, which I plan to add in 2v2.
This is the modified one for nes_detach :
lr-mess_nes_datach = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg -v -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so 'nes datach -cart2 %ROM%'" -
@folly
To play those games (Datach) you must enter barcodes. If you go in UI Mame menu in Barcode Reader. Go in "new barcode" . Enter the code with your keyboard and after, go down to "Enter Code" and press enter or B button. Your barcode will be activated.
