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

Folly

I compiled mame0233 succesfully in 6 hours on the rpi4 with 8Gb with 32bit buster.
I increased the swap to rpSwap on 51200 in the mame module-script.
I booted the RPI4 with a big USB3.0 harddrive :

to have enough room for the swap
to have no wear and tear on sd cards
for speed

@folly
No success for me. I have a rpi4 with 4Gb and I had 9.25 Gb (free space) on my SD Card. I'll wait for the pre-compiled binary option.

Other systems to try : benesse pocket challenge MAME name: POCKCHAL

Haha

Yes great, we should do that !

@dteam

Perhaps I can upload the mame binary to zippyshare.
Interested ?

Yes

@dteam

The whole directory /opt/retropie/emulators/mame :
~~mame0233_RPI4_Buster_32bit~~
(File Life: 30 days after no activity.)

Edit :
No need to download anymore.
Retropie has updated the mame binary to 0233.

@folly
Option (line 11) doesn't work for me. Is it the same for you.

Do you use add-mamedev-systems-test6_temp.sh ?

Those systems doesn't work for me.

@folly
I got your last version from your link above : add-mamedev-systems.sh
I have used line 10 instead of line 11. Line 11 doesn't work for me when it's time to load systems by letters.

Folly

@dteam

Which link ?, be sure you use temp.
Did you remove other versions ?

No problem for me, I can select line 11.
Just installed those.

I picked it fresh from github, so it should work.

DTEAM

@folly
I’ll do another test

Folly

@dteam

I created an issue on github for mame.
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/8274
Hopefully they can fix it.

Folly

@dteam

Any luck yet ?

DTEAM

@folly
Retropie added a precompiled MAME 0.233. So now it’s fine from binary

Folly

@dteam

Ok, I will check.
(edit: yes, indeed retropie updated it to 0233 !)

But the temp front-end module-script doesn't depend on mame because of the drc issue.
So this was an other issue I presume.

Folly

@dteam

I tried to run these :

benesse pocket challenge MAME name POCKCHAL
Tiger Gizmondo : MAME name GIZMONDO
Zeebo (Brasil) : MAME name: ZEEBO

No luck so far.

DTEAM

@folly
Same thing for me

@dteam

While busy with these, I found roms for other handheld systems and those are working.
I have to see on my other pi4 what these systems are.
But I think you have them already working as they booted in Artwork.

Btw. there is bad output from mame -softwarelist
