I'm up and running with just the pack-in game Rocket Patrol. I did like you did, just made a dummy .zip file. All good.

Just can't seem to locate the rest of them. .236?

@jamrom2

Something to read :
https://docs.mamedev.org/techspecs/luaengine.html

Here is the reference manual of lua 5.3 :

I think they are in ~~mame_sl~~, if you understand what I mean.

Fix, get the apfimag_cass.zip, it's in : mame-sl

MESS and MAME: The Guide

I have spacedst.zip running with the new test method.
In the hash table it describes that this cart has extra ram on board.
Using the new test method it runs the file using the softlist and adds the ram extension automatically.
Bios file apfm1000.zip has to be added in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apfm1000 for now.
I hope we can come up with a nice fix for this problem.

It runs by using this line in /opt/retropie/configs/apfm1000/emulators.cfg :
mame-driver-rompath-basename = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame apfm1000 -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apfm1000 -v -c %BASENAME%"

Keyboard keys to play :
LEFT RIGHT KPAD_ENTER

Why apple2gsr1 in the line

Folly

@dteam

Oops a mistake ;-), fixet it ! (updated)
This is because I also did tests with that line on apple2gsr1 just picked the wrong one.

I will read some, perhaps some interesting stuff to find.

@folly

Strange, those lines work with .bin and not .zip

mame-system-apfm1000-cart-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apfm1000 -v -c -autoframeskip -ui_active apfm1000  -cart %ROM%"
mame-system-apfm1000-cart = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apfm1000 -v -c -ui_active apfm1000 -cart %ROM%"

@dteam

I will try here in ES.
But I think both work on my side.

Edit:
.zip works for me.

Yup.. sniffed it out. Thanks! I'll get it loaded and see where I'm at.

Now it works for me with .zip. I deleted everything and restart from scratch and now it works

Is possible play sega arcade game in follow link with lr-mess?
https://www.gamesdatabase.org/all_system_games-sega_model_2

jamrom2

@folly I've got everything loaded that's a cart.

All 13 games start and run using "lr-mess-systemapfm100-cart" and a BIOS file that has
apf_4000.rom
basic_80.rom
basic_68.rom

Only issue I had was Sapce Detroyers says "rocket Patrol" as the title and the graphics are a mess.

Other than that, everything worked as .zip files

nevermind... I see what you wrote up there about this game needing extra ram.

I've got everything working now. Easy install as well. My controller works, but does not fire. I'll keep playing with this and see where it gets me. Like you said, it's a bit strange that Space Destroyers requires a seperate path that is nothing like the rest. I hope that can be changed to the same as everything else.

@isidoro80
If I remember correctly Sega Model 2 needs many resources from the host computer.
I doubt it will work on the pi.

DTEAM

@isidoro80
With MAME, maybe yes with a X86 build but not for Lr-MESS. Lr-Mess only covers non-arcade games
