Games recommended to be used with lr-mame 2010.

UDb23

Thought it could be useful to share experience on roms that require lr-mame 2010 to run (or simply run better vs lr-mame 2003).

Just found out that Spiders (Sigma - 1981) has no sound under lr-mame2003.
As mame developers improved the game emulation in later versions, I tried the rom with lr-mame2010 and sound is there !

Being an old game it has no performance issues with the "heavier" 2010 lr-mame.

Tip: change aspect ratio setting in RGUI to 3:4 to get more real game feeling; by default lr-mame 2010 stretches horizontally in a terrible way.

Running on Pi 3 and Retropie 4.2.

Any other games that benefit from lr-mame2010 ?

Darksavior

The sega system16 games, like E-Swat and Shinobi. Shinobi MIGHT load ok in 2003, but then you get missing audio channels in the 2nd level.

Cludo

U.S Championship V'Ball (vball) is way too slow using lr-mame2003 but at normal speed with 2010. I know the rom has been corrected but I don't know from what romset.

Golden tee (all of them) but 2k and classic only work on mame 2010. You have to speed it up to fix sound issue.

World class bowling. Only the oldest version plays in 2010 without sound issues or the screen being split in two and off centered from each other. (Version 2They are all badly messed up in mame 2003.

These are with using an older mame 2010. I am not sure why if mame 2010 with correct romset, why my romset doesnt work anymore even though they still are the correct romset??? @dankcushions do you know why having the .139 romset and it works on the old emulator but not the updated one? I have to use the lr-mame-2010 emu from retropie 4.1.11.

dankcushions

@edmaul69 i don't use it so i'm not sure sorry :( is anyone in this thread using the current (4.2.x) version successfully?

edmaul69

@dankcushions yeah hopefully someone here knows about the 4.2.x retropie lr-mame2010. I like to keep my system updated but sometimes these things happen with the mame and fba emulators for me.

pjft

I don't know about 4.2.x but I wanted to share my MAME 2010 games experience. I use it as default for

Midnight Resistance, from Data East (sound is messed up in 2003)
Out Run, better handling of the analog wheel, shows gear in an image
Cisco Heat, 2003 emulation is incomplete
Operation Wolf/Thunderbolt/Wolf 3, better gun support with digital controls

Using 4.2 latest lr-mame 2010 seem to work fine; but I only use a few roms.
Do you have issues with all .139 roms ?

edmaul69

@UDb23 yes. All of them i have tried work fine on the slightly older lr-mame-2010. None of the work on the very latest update. I even updated retropie setup a few minutes ago and reinstalled lr-mame2010. Nothing works.

edmaul69

1.5.0 - MAME 2010 0.139 works fine. It is what is on my last update of retropie 4.1.17. I have no idea what version the new one is because no games boot. Do you have retropie 4.2.2 installed?

UDb23

@edmaul69 Will check with other roms and let you know.

edmaul69

@UDb23 i edited my last post. What version exactly is your retropie and what version is the working mame 2010 you have?

UDb23

Spiders overlay for lr-mame 2010 ready ;-)
It is setup to force correct aspect ratio.

Retropie 4.2; RGUI says I have the same 2010 version as you "1.5.0 - MAME 2010 0.139 b9c98d0"
Means I should not update !

Maybe @buzz knows what's new in the current lr-mame2010 that may generate problems.

edmaul69

@UDb23 if you do update backup the mame 2010 libretro.

edmaul69

@UDb23 i accidently posted my last post while testing. Please ignore it. I edited it. All mames and lr-fbalpha run fine so it is only lr-mame-2010 that is not working. I will start a new topic to try to get it fixed.

I think a good majority of games work better in lr-mame2010. It just needs a bit more love like saving the directories in the proper place instead of the retropie root, some games have the wrong aspect ratio and you can't use the mouse for gun games. A few notable games which are better in lr-mame2010 :-

Escape from the planet of the robot monsters (continually runs forward in lr-mame2003)
Super sprint (continually accelerates in 2003)
Tapper (doesn't work in 2003)

And a lot more which I can't think of at the moment (not at home). (Also has auto frameskip for those games that don't quite hit the magic 60hz). @pjft Outrun runs like crap on lr-mame2010.

edmaul69

@windale Escape from the planet of the robot monsters and super sprint arent actually an issue. They are analog controls. If you setup your system to use analog controls it works perfect and better than if you were using digital controls.

Actually, the GT series works fine on AdvanceMAME (Pi3).

edmaul69

@caver01 yes. I should have specified better. I was referring the difference between 2010 and 2003. I actually need to try it out in advmame personally to see if there is any improvement.
