      Confusing, but yes indeed, with the normal -cart lines they do load properly.
      I have had that working too, earlier on.
      But some games don't work as they should and sound is missing too.
      Do you have that same problem ?
      I was thinking the lr-mame_libretro.so way booted them better.
      Btw. I also tried with the mame-basename without succes, and yes I added /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/supracan in mame.ini .
      It seems it is not loading the rompath from the mame.ini.
      Forcing it in the commandline is working now using this :

      /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -hash /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/hash -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/supracan -v -c supracan sangofgt
      

      I will test this part again on where it is going wrong.

      I did have a go again with with the lr-mame_libretro.so.
      No luck with the lr-mame_libretro.so nightly on pi4, it seems a 64bit one, and I run 32bit OS.
      So tried on my x86_64 ubuntu 20.04.
      Well boomzoo loaded, but others, no.

        Like you, It doesn't work on my side for all games. I played with UI parameters and everything stopped working ! The 5 options above are the best ones for me.

        For

        mame-basename = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c supracan %BASENAME%"
        

        It works well for me. It's strange if it doesn't work on your side
        Seems to be a picky emulator.

        I'll retry hhtien1408 solution

          Seems the mame basename line doesn't work on both x86_64 and the pi4.
          But it works if I force the rompath.

          Where is your mame.ini located ?
          Mine is in :
          /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame/mame.ini

            It works on my Pi4

            in
            opt/retropie/configs/mame

              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!

                                @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!

                                      Now, I'm using MAME 0.229 on my Pi4 (usually, I update it from source). If I do the update, it will be 0.332 0.232 probably.

                                            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
