Homebrew Mame 2003 Plus

[alfonsovin]

Necrobumping because I just made "compatibility lists" with my own tests.
Using the following:

• FBALPHA - Retroarch 1.10.3
• MAME2000 - Retroarch 1.10.3
• MAME2003 - Cores from OP in this thread, version 0.4
• NEOGEO - FBA-VM_TEST1M_OLDRETRO with 3.2 Unibios

are there any mame 2003 plus core version that are compatible with playlist? I think that 0.4 version is 1.7.6 compatible just before that option

After testing narc3.zip using C2 (Midway) core, it does boot and play at around 30-35 fps. Like @JuanBaNaNa noted, it is chunky. The SS-Hecaeco Midway core does play it much better, around 40-52 FPS.

Asking me?
Having trouble trying to understand what you're asking.
You're talking about the Playlist feature within RA?... a lot of PC RetroArch features are not working in newest retroarch-Wii builds, let alone older builds.

My question is general. I got working some Mame Plus 2003 cores from A to H in variation of RA version 1.7.2 to 1.7.5

Although it seems that you can configure playlist path and recognize some of them I not able to use that feature at all

Im going to try 0.4 version of Mame Plus 2003 core that work with 1.7.6 RA version but I see that playlist still not useful as I’d like

I think that from 1.7.7 or beyond I could make that playlist to combine several cores and try to include some thumbnails?

Is there any known version or newer core mod that brings playlist features as I say?

I have another question about input mode. Last night, when I though I have an stable configuration structure something goes wrong with controller settings but for now I can’t discover what happens

I did so configuration files as core I had from mame 2003 plus Freon A to H. And last weeks I could permute between wiimote or classic mote when I plug and unplug device, or that what I guess

Always have troubles when you try to change input de ocr because you have risk to no control menu if you disable device type

I tried some “new” version of mame2003plus core and notice that I was not able to move in menu when classic note was released plugged but works when unplugged and work as wiimote only

Good, as I thought that it doesn’t change my consistent previous configuration files when I back to the previous version it seems that get a similar behavior and I can’t back to previous solution

I can’t enable the previous auto detect input mode or similar. I was able to configure manuallly the classic mote enable “other players could manage menu” so I enter in player 1 input and select “classic mote” manually but all keys are blank and need to configure one by one. If I unplugged classic mote again it doesn’t change input mode and need to use a secondary wiimote from second player

You can use it this way using a core that is compatible with playlists like 2048 to create the lists and when you exit the mame core you reload 2048 so that the lists appear I hope it works for you and that you understand it since I'm using it the Google translator

Thank you. Not sure how to do it, we could speak in Spanish in your channel

I have create a playlist with a web editor but it has some kind of code. I found another list called 6 lines that looks like don’t have any code symbols

I don’t know if you are guessing work with core that admit playlist and load name 2003 with the list from that core. I like merge mame 2003 plus core and cps1 and neogeo core. I know that I can use last versions of that cores to select many items and playlists

Hi. I’m trying to play with wrally.zip ro with name 2003 plus but I’m not able to load good. Do someone knows how to get it? I’m try with core G and some romset parent and bootleg version but without success

This game is playable on MameWii. https://wiibrew.org/wiki/MAME_Wii

@alfonsovin

I don't think wrally.zip is compatible. I tested too, and G core does load but garbled graphics. Unplayable...

Does this game even work with MAME Wii 1.0?

I see you're using MAME Wii 1.1.

@cheloruiz79

I have never used version 1.0 I used the 1.1 mod because I saw that it was the last one but I think it only changes the limit of roms from 150 to 10,000 and supports motion plus the game should work

 

[RunningSnakes]

Does MAME Wii use .125 or .134 romset?

I set this up a very long time ago but deleted everything, don't remember if i was using 1.0 or 1.1.

I remember playing Rampage and Edward Randy Cliffhanger. Is there a small compatibility list floating around?

To anyone wondering, and seemingly driving this discussion towards MAMEWII, I can assure you that MAME2003 PLUS beats MAMEWII in compatibility.

Aside of a few roms that MAMEWII can run, there's really no advantage in using it over MAME2003 PLUS + FINAL BURN ALPHA + MAME2000 in RetroArch.

The only ones that RetroArch has troubles with are World Rally, Joe & Mac Returns and Tetris (SEGA).

If you want to play something like World Rally in RetroArch, NEOGEO core can load all Rally roms that came out for NEOGEO.


But of course you're free to test/use whichever you like. Just trying to avoid people wasting their time doing a compatibility list with MAMEWII since it accepts roms from different romsets. So compatibility is spread all over because some roms while they're compatible (appears as green) will say that there's missing chd files and others "incompatible" (appearing as red) will load fine.

I just tested Frogger and yeah, this baby is rough around the edges. It does function so there's that, but hard to keep this installed. Nice to go back and see how far MAME has come on the Wii though.

i miss in mame Wii a good video option for setup aspect ratio in vertical screen roms. Even with games in 4:3 there is a space down and up that doesn’t show. I change some aspects in .ini file but I don’t get anything. This is cause I change to retroarch

RetroArch has TATE mode in the core's options, and CUSTOM resolution in video settings.

Have you tried that?

Some cores even has option to rotate the picture.

In retroarch it’s ok. In mame wii sdl is which I don’t know how to adjust

You open the menu with R Trigger I think and go to the video settings.
Then Horizontal Width and Vertical Width are controlled with D-Pad as it's a slider.
