They play standalone now. Still that problem w/ Donky Kong. No samples seem to be included in the ROM. Or is that common knowledge? Copied me ol' sampes dir to the dir w/ the lr-mame2003 roms. Still no walking or jumping sounds from Mario in Donkey Kong (i.e. still no samples). And a whole lotta cracks and pops. I don't think I'll try to troubleshoot the sound problems. Not worth the trouble. I'd be better off trying to get me a 0.94 set of standalone (i.e. non-merged) roms for advanceMame. AdvMame saves games too. And the samples work. Libretto and Retroach are too much of a pain to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.
especially when you continue to refuse to read the documentation:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003#samplessamples work fine in lr-mame2003
I'm having the same issue with samples not working for lr-mame2003 (as well as Advmame)
There doesn't seem to be the path that is listed in the wiki for lr-mame2003, /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/sample
It ends at /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS there is no mame2003 directory. -

/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/sampleOn my Pi that directory is there. But I've been fidling a lot w/ lr-mame the last few days. Maybe you can create said dir or try advmame or mame4all.
Or should I say: rtfm! That seems to be the norm here. Good luck. :-)
P.S. Download your samples from: http://samples.mameworld.info/ or from: http://www.progettosnaps.net/samples/

Yes that is the first thing I tried since mame4all used that setup, didn't work for me.

What game are you trying to play. Are you sure it uses samples? Because some don't.

Downloaded a 0.103 ROM set. Used the parent roms in Advance Mame and most of them work (no need yet to convert w/ clrmame). For old geezers like me it's a breath of fresh air that things still work like on your PC and what you're used to since the late nineties.
but that's the exact same as lr-mame2003! if you downloaded a 0.78 set (which are available), as you were advised to, then you wouldn't have to do any of this.
What I learned from this: stick w/ ye olde plain Mame ports to the Pi and ask old geezers for tips on how to use and configure Mame. Or use Libretto if you have never, ever used Mame before in your life and if you like Retroarch because it works w/ one config for all your joysticks ect. If you do not want to get rtfm-ed use advmame and ask somebody who is prepared to forgive you having troubles w/ Mame for tips.
i must have spent several hours of my life helping you at this point, most of which was simply pointing you to our thorough documentation. i appreciate MAME is complicated, but i don't appreciate you posting misleading and wrong information about lr-mame2003, which you have done several times. other users are going to really struggle to get anything out of these threads.
Really fed up w/ this. I had less trouble learning Quantum Mechanics in my first year (this is no lie). If you ask a professor a simple question his answer is never: "Read my book again, I'm too smart for this. You missed something. It's all in there.". OF COURSE it's all in there. If the fine manual is so great, why start a forum? The manual did solve a lot of probs for me though. But never dare to aks a question here
it's 3 pages. go and look at my posting history if you think i have a problem with helping people.

Don't want to make this topic even longer, but indeed I downloaded the 0.78 set first. Had some probes (my bad, didn't know the difference between parent and clone roms). Tried to convert them, did that wrong. And then I thought: I'll try another setof ROMs that is avaliable and "downgrade" from 0.13 to 0.78 or try them in advmame (which comes in a few versions: one that takes 0.94 roms and one that takes 0.106 see link). Wanted to use lr-mame to be able to save my games and because I could find a rom set for it that should work (the 0.78 set, that is).
@Finhead : @dankcushions is right: people are going to struggle to get anything out of this thread. You might want to start a new topic 'bout samples and mame.
-
anyway, for my part i'm going to change mame2003 to unify the various directories so they're the same as traditional mame ('sample' to 'samples', etc), keeping it backwardly compatible with the previous setup, if possible. something productive from all of this ;)

Lol yes I know it uses Samples as it has a sample file, Donkey Kong was the one I was trying just to get samples working.
Got it going for Advmame fine now, it was actually a corrupt sample file. mame2003 still not working but not really a issue if I have Adv working since it's a better version IMO -

You are lr-mame2003's dev? Great work on such a complex system! Good luck with developing. :)

not at all, just putting in some very small tweaks! the hard work was done by others.
Apparently I had to put the samples in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/sample instead of <rom dir>/samples (notice the S). I'm awfully sorry, but a lot of things work different in lr-mame-2003 then what I'm used to since 1997.
i've now changed this to /samples/ - see
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-mame2003
(along with a bunch of other directory names that were different from standard MAME)they aren't kept in the ROM directory as that could be shared by several systems, and also cause the .zip files to show up in emulationstation. instead, it's in
/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/samples/(but at least it's samples rather than sample!)
