I have the packs in the root of the sd card because that's where they worked from with the standalone tyr, do they have to be anywhere specific for retroarch to load it?

I think it's not finding the databases.
In addition to having the databases in the system dir, make sure the system dir is set to what you think it's set to

Mame 2003 is the recommended one afaik

Thanks! Another question, is there a way to play Die Hard Arcade? At starting the rom there's an error about console region, because the rom try to use Jap Bios (from what I read online). How can I set the rom to use US Bios instead?

Is the "system" directory known as what the "bios" directory is? I'm not home so I can't check my directory paths. If it is however a bios directory, then that directory's correct, since I have bios running perfectly for my GameBoy/Color/Advance, Game Gear/Genesis/Sega CD/PCE CD, etc, etc.

After trying the 25th Jan nightly I can confirm for some mame games it's still showing them upside down and therefore unplayable, give Donkey Kong or Pacman a try. Don't know if it's linked to the screen size as the games are stretched out to fill more of the screen than earlier versions.

Yes my friend, the system directory is the one which RetroArch checks for the bios files :)
Be sure to double check under the "Directories" option in Settings, you can change the paths if you'd like.

Ok then that's not the issue then, since every other core that requires bios are functioning properly. I'm stumped. :-/

I wonder, have you tried different Coleco ROMs?
Maybe the ROM could be at fault or something, try with different Coleco roms to see if one boots.

Nope. tried running Defender/Centipede/Burgertime, all unzipped, still crashes...

Here are screenshots of my sd card, and how I have the folder structures.

So that everything, I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm also using the latest nightly build. (1-25-18)

Directories seem fine.
The weird thing is that is still gives DSI even after having the bios and unzipping the ROM.

Let me give this a try today after work, I'll download the Coleco BIOS and get a ROM just for testing, I'll let you know if I get the same or managed to run the ROM.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
