New Arcade (MAME) issue. Lockup (Little rectangle)

Agrajag

Is there a good source site for backdrop art already set up for 2003 Plus?

Artwork isn't my department but @Riverstorm might be able to give you some tips.

@mahoneyt944 Thanks again. Everything is working fine post-skyscraper scrape. Had an issue with about half the video snaps not working, but a trip to Youtube for an hour fixed it all.

Now to decide if I should hack my Mayflash to add a spinner to it or just pick up a controller that has one (and maybe a trackball). I miss Tempest, Front Line real Wild Western and Arkanoid.

@mahoneyt944 said in New Arcade (MAME) issue. Lockup (Little rectangle):

Here's the lists I created for each core so far. Have a look and search for the games you're looking to play. https://buildbot.libretro.com/compatibility_lists/
Note that these lists are as accurate as they can be, but still imperfect. Part of this project is to flush out these imperfections.

dkong (and clones) should probably be listed as having wrong colors for mame2003/mame2003-plus/mame2010

@Agrajag you might also want to take a look at FBNeo. MAME2003+ and FBNeo are the 2 best arcade emulator as far as libretro integration is concerned.

Pros of FBNeo :

overall more accurate emulation, meaning less glitches
all games should have proper savestates support, meaning they also have proper runahead/rewind/netplay support
retroachievements support
it supports some games MAME2003+ doesn't

Cons of FBNeo :

it's overall a tad slower than MAME2003+ (accuracy is a double-edged sword), shouldn't be a major issue on pi4 though
since it's not MAME, it doesn't have a MAME OSD
it doesn't support some games MAME2003+ does
romsets aren't "fixed", the emulator is kept in sync with current MAME romsets

@barbudreadmon Looking into this now.
