lr-mame2014 and lr-mame not working

Ialso tried to compile and try lr-mess and it also told that there mess_libretro.so was not found.

@Melvin.FoX hummm... since it's not a trivial config problem I think it can be promoted to an issue in the RetroPie-Setup's issue tracker.

these emulators are marked as 'experimental' for this reason :)
even if you get it running, die hard arcade (and any 3d arcade games) are not going to be playable on a pi.

I do know that they are experimental but still - why the hell are they there if you can't even install it (experimental for me means that you can experiment with it) and try to run it?!

If I'll see it on my own eyes I will believe it.

And another problem, now with "optional package" vice:
Unable to install binary for sdl2
Is there anything working there?

it's true they should install, but as you can see from the error, whatever you last compiled requires GCC 5.0. i think this is due to the latest changes lr-mame. GCC 5.0 is not available in raspian, so there's nothing that can be done, unless you do some advanced stuff (search raspian gcc 5).
all we can do is wait for the next version of raspian. i think stretch has gcc 5+.
perhaps we could use an older version of lr-mame, but my understanding is that was pretty broken even on systems that could run it properly (PCs, etc).
-
Ok so vice problem was totally my fault.
I made a typo in wgetrc inet4_only = om and that was enough to stop downloading some of the necessary libs.
Right now I will try one more time with mame2014 hoping that maybe that was also causing the problem. Will update as soon as I will know anything new. -
lr-mame and lr-mess won't work now on older gcc and there is nothing i can do really for Raspbian. I might implement a lr-mess2014/lr-mess2010 but for now you will need to wait. I will look into lr-mame2014 building when I have time

Buzz I think that was absolutely my fault with mame2014 build because now it just went fine after wgetrc fix. I think that RPi couldn't connect to some repos for necessary libs and that's the thing.
Right now I managed to install mame2014 from source but when trying to run diehard.zip it hangs on screen with white border (as it was some disclaimer or gameinfo screen) and you can only close it via SSH :/
I will try to compile gcc5 or 6 and try to install lr-mame.

@Melvin.FoX diehard works to a degree on advancemame 1.4 (although I didn't get in game sound) - (you need to run it from commandline with
-bios usparameter.) However it is completely unplayable on a rpi as has been mentioned earlier.maybe 5-6 fps

Thanks for your answer. I already tried it and it performs better than You mentioned. I get a playable fps number but it still lacks sound. Right now I am just screwed because after I used gcc6 I have some serious system issues and can't get ES to work anymore. Problably I will have to do a fresh install and start all over again... Still guys thanks for your help and concern. I learned a lot today.

@Melvin.FoX so i installed mame 2014 last night on my pi 3 with retropie 4.whatever the lastest version was as of last night and nothing works. Do i need to update linux to get it to work? Im not familiar with what gcc is.

This game has sound and graphic issues in mame. Also, it is stvbios, which means sega saturn arcade : i have troubles running radiant silvergun (another stvbios game) in mame at constant full speed on an intel core i7@3.4Ghz. You are expecting way too much of mame and your raspberry. -
@edmaul69 I managed to run few things on mame2014 like pacman, frogger just to see if it works. However when I tried to run this Die Hard Arcade I just got this white border as I told you and it freezed so I had to ssh reboot the RPi.
As for gcc (which is a Gnu Compiler Collection) it's a bunch of tools needed to compile (make) some binary from source. I tried it some nasty with installing it from a newer Raspberry repo but after that my whole system screwed up :/
You will have to compile it all by yourself (just Google Raspberry Pi - Install GCC 6 and compile C++14 and C++17 programs) but it takes a lot of time (from 6 to even 24 hours) and can always crash so I am not sure if it's worth an effort.For now on I will leave Die Hard (and just install Sega Saturn port) and I will try to get back to it after some time (maybe gcc 5 will be implemented or raspberry will get a core update?). Thanks for your help guys!

saturn will perform even worse :) https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/saturn#emulator-lr-yabause-small_red_triangle

Some facts you'll have to accept :
Saturn / stvbios won't run at decent speed on current raspberry without a jit/dynarec, search "High Level Emulation" if you wanna learn more about that.
MAME won't add a jit/dynarec to their emulator since anything which is not "Low Level Emulation" is against their policy.
Yabause standalone have some preliminary jit/dynarec (it was added a few months ago), but as far as i know, it is far from finished. Yabause libretro currently don't have this jit/dynarec. -
@Melvin.FoX yeah i cant even get the mame2014 to even try to run on anything. It just goes to a black screen and back to the gamelist.

@edmaul69 so try to do this in bash (you can try with ssh). Type this command:
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2014/mame2014_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%
and swap %ROM% with full path eg.:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/pacman.zip
Then you'll see what's going on. If there is segmentation fault as I had then it was compiled with some errors (probably compiler couldn't find or download some needed library). Paste what's going on when turning on some rom.
-
@Melvin.FoX i will let you know when i test it. Thank you.

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/pacman.zip
when i type it in withe the correct info to my setup (my roms are on an external harddrive and work because i have mame2010 and mame2003 running the roms just fine) i immediately get a "segmentation fault"
