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.

@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.

Folly

@DTEAM

It doesn't work on the Pi4 (64 bit), I can install it, but no game wants to load.

Folly

@DTEAM

Thanks for testing.

@DTEAM

Just added the 277 mame binary working on rpi 3,4 and 5.

Moving my discussion of this to here. I managed to get MAME, lr-mame, and lr-mess installed onto my system, installed the necessary cdi drivers (cdibios, cdimono1, and cdimono2), and dropped my roms into both cdibios, cdimono1, and cdimono2 (my roms are US-based, so I tested it with all 3 just for the heck of it). I used cdrm-autoframeskip in all 3 instances with no luck.

EDIT: I tested with both mame and lr-mess' cdimono*-cdrm and their autoframeskip variations. Still no luck.

Correct, my database has the same info.

I read your help topic.
I am really not sure if the mame binaries, installed by my script, will work on your Mint installation.
You should test mame from the terminal first to see if it's working.
I read that you used the retropie_packages.sh script so trying mame from the commandline should be doable for you.
Just run :

/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -ui_active

If it fails you should get an error, else you should see this :

@Folly Command runs flawlessly. I can get the full UI and navigate wherever. In BIOS, only the PAL version seemed to populate though. Is that intentional?

Ok, good to know that the binary works.

Can you describe a bit better what you mean ?

(I don't know what version was in the US so I don't know if the US bios is in for example cdibios, cdimono1 or cdimono2)
