Is the Psion Series 3[x] supported?
-
@Folly Ah, so I'm back to the old problem of not being able to install the new MAME/MESS because it'll destroy all the old systems I installed with the previous script. Bah. Oh well, thanks for the help anyway. I'll add it to the list of "stuff to do when I get the Pi 5".
-
@Folly (I do have 0264 installed in a separate directory, is there any way I can tell the script to use that?)
-
You're welcome !

Yes, that should be possible.
Will have a look. -
@Folly If I changed the line in mamedev.sh from
local _mess_core=$rootdir/libretrocores/lr-mess/mamemess_libretro.so
to local _mess_core=$rootdir/home/pi/Downloads/lr-mess264/mamemess_libretro.so
would that solve it?
(And presumably all the other references to $rootdir/libretrocores/lr-mess/mamemess_libretro.so)

No, it doesn't work that way.
My script uses standalone mame to get information.
That is the one you need to update. -

So I need to download the 0264 MAME files from your site, put them in the Downloads folder and then change every reference to $rootdir/libretrocores/lr-mame/mamemess_libretro.so to $rootdir/home/pi/Downloads/mame264/mamemess_libretro.so?
(Sorry, I'm very far out of my depth here :D)

If you could rename your /opt/retropie/emulators/mame folder by renaming it as root user.
Then you will have a backup.Then you are able to install a newer mame from my script using the lines to get binaries from my gdrive.

No, every folder you mention is linked to libretro cores.
Standalone mame is in /opt/retropie/emulators/mame.In my script I use both ( means the same ):
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame
$emudir/mame/mameI should make that a bit uniform.
But if you want you should edit these.
Though I think that isn't the route you should take.Edit :
I would take the risk.
First I would backup the old RetroPie scripts by renaming them and just clone RetroPie to the newest version like described over here :
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup
Then I would update standalone mame to 264 from binary. -
@Folly Thanks, but I barely even understand what you just said, and it's a VERY big risk. I have a Pi 5 on order now, I'll do all that stuff on it when it arrives and just leave the 4 intact and safe.
-
Ok, seems a good choice playing with it from the beginning on the PI5.
-
Because of our conversation I updated my version to 265.17 adding Standalone MAME VS database version detection.
Now the database should be more in sync with the MAME version that is installed when starting the script, it will prevent issues.
Can you test it for me ?
-
@Folly Sure, once I have this Pi 5 set up so I can run 0265.
