iMame4All in 4.0.0 with rPi3

[Nachtgarm]

@IOIIOOO if the 0.78 Games are not working on your PI, you definately have the wrong roms.. I myself are using the 0.78 and about 80% of the Games are working just fine. Please get the Mame2003 0.78 DAT, or the Imame4All 0.37b5 DAT and a tool like clrmamepro, or ROMulus and make yourself familiar with ROM management. After you verified the Roms you own with the DAT File(s) and they still don't work, we'll have a take a deeper look into the problem. OK?

[IOIIOOO]

@Nachtgarm The 0.78 ROMs from the compatible list ARE working. It's the iMame4All roms that are not.

And I have done a scan of these using clrmamepro against the iMame4All 0.37b5 DAT. It shows that I am missing none of the expected ROMs.

[Nachtgarm]

@IOIIOOO Ok. I must've overread that fact. Sorry, for that.
So... if the 0.78 is running, why do you want to use the 0.37 anyway?

[IOIIOOO]

@Nachtgarm Because several "classic" (i.e. older) games don't seem to want to run with 0.78. The original Pac Man, Space Invaders and Rampage are three specifically I am working on.

On https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Advanced-Arcade-on-Recalbox-(EN) it says:

"imame4all is recommended for older games that does not run in piFBA"

So I assumed it's because the games are too old for more current emulators? Maybe I'm wrong?

[Nachtgarm]

I'm using the 0.78 Mame Set with the Mame emulator (mame) and it's standard settings.

and Space Invaders (invaders.zip - MD5 9deb5c19958860d5b70e4560d2915611 ) is running just fine.

Which Versions of the games are you trying to run? Zip-Name?

I was able to get invaders.zip to run, but with no color or sound.

I have tried:

rampage.zip
rampage2.zip (the 1.2 version of Rampage)
pacmanm.zip (midway pacman)
sicv.zip (color space invaders)

With no success.

[Nachtgarm]

@IOIIOOO Sorry, but I wasn't able to test it further yet. I'll look into that today, most likely.

@IOIIOOO

Finally, I was able to test all games. My results are:

Pac-Man (Midway), clone of PuckMan (Japan set 1) is running just fine
MD5: b55d6c49910c0011907dcbb78f21eaae
File: pacman.zip

Space Invaders has no sound, because it needs samples, which will be supported soon
MD5: 9deb5c19958860d5b70e4560d2915611 (without samples)
File: invaders.zip

Space Invaders (CV Version) is not running on my Pi and if, it would need samples, too (It runs ok on my PC, minor sound issues)
MD5: 72ff4d8d614717e6633c5bfceb0c5b4b (without samples)
File: sicv.zip

Rampage (Rev 2, 8/4/86) (original) is not running on my PI, nor is it running "good" on my PC (no sound)
File: rampage2.zip

Rampage (Rev 3, 8/27/86) (clone of Rev 2, 8/4/86) is not running on my PI, but it's running "ok" on my PC (sound probs and low framerate)
File: rampage.zip

I have tested all games in all available versions from sets 0.78, 0.177 and 0.37bb, but decided to write down only the essential ones

[acris]

samples for mame 2003 are available in recalbox 4.0.0 b5
need to create folder /recalbox/share/bios/mame2003/samples

[Nachtgarm]

Thanks for the heads up @acris, I confused the releases for a moment.

[stevex59]

hello,

have you find out how to get your rom working? I have the same issue as you

[IOIIOOO]

@stevex59 At this point I am giving up on getting Rampage working on my Pi3 Recalbox. Doesn't seem to be good ROMs out there. I have the original invaders.zip now working with samples, but not color. Got a pacman working.
