I tried once before to do it on my own, but it definitely wasn't as simple as setting up a NES or SNES emulator. It was too daunting for me in fact and gave up on it at the time. I'd like to give it another shot now that I got a Sega Dreamcast emulator up and running on my Windows PC a few weeks ago.
MAME is an acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. The intent of this emulator is preservation; the ability to play games is considered a "side-effect." MAME supports thousands of classic arcade games, although not all of them are playable. As of version 0.162 MAME absorbed its sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) which means it is also capable of playing games for classic game consoles.
when using google or youtube, I find tons of info on making games look better, however using other emulators, I have the normal MAME set up to run 1000s of roms so I don't know if its a good idea to switch emulators....Last time I was configuring a front end? I had to go through so many options and settings, and cores to get the ones I like running, I don't want to do that again. In fact I cant....
I did have one more question about big box mode for selecting games (arcade) So when you hold A you get the options, I should have mame and Retroarch both set up in my emulators, however when I pick "launch with" there is just one option , is that normal? is there a way to list all emulators related to arcade?
So for example if your games are launching with Mame by default and you want RA to be in the Launch with list, add Arcade to the associated platforms for RA but don't check the "default emulator" box.
Not exactly, I was using retrobat before, and they have a pretty easy setup to where you just hold A, and you can cycle through a whole list of filters and more. and some of them totally make the games amazing. I don't see these options in retrobat, I get that you have to setup the emulators separately, but I just don't see these options, I may have to try some other emulators.
Yeah, but as i said those are shaders, they are not touching the actual game at all, they are essentially laying a filter over the top of the game window. Underneath the games still look exactly as "bad" as you think they do, nothing has been changed or upgraded from what you saw previously to the actual games. Which is what i was trying to explain, the games are what they are in that regard, filters are are different thing entirely. And as stated before you keep saying that retrobat does this or retrobat does that, you need to come to terms with the fact that Launchbox and retrobat are different programs, with different features, and ways of doing things. Everything you did in retrobat can be done with Launchbox and Retroarch, we just don't surface emulator options in the UI as there is really no point in doing so. Retrobat is using Retroarch and EmulationStation, with Launchbox you are now using Retroarch and Launchbox, so the structure hasn't changed Retroarch is still the emulator so all the options you had are still there, just in the Retroarch UI now, the only difference is how the frontend looks.
I have manged to install to install Mame 2010 (it seems to be a background install, as there is no gui interface element i can see?), I can browse to the file that is a game rom using the file explore, if I long press on that I get a context menu with play (if i just press it, it open the zip file for browsing!), when I pick play it opens a dialog to pick a emulator and an I pick mame 2010 in that list and it works.
I thought the Advanced Emulator Launcher plugin was for where you have an "external" mame installed, not the ones that are build into the LibreElec core games repo? The AEL needs configured and told where the mane binary is and so on. I dont think there is onr on the standard libreelec mame install, just a build in .so
Instead of just clicking the zip file (which opens it to explore it) long press to get the context menu. from there you will get a Play option, when you pick that is should give you a choice of emulators you installed. from there you can pick Mame2003/2010/2015, or what you installed.
today, by pure chance, looking at an unrelated topic, I found out that 2013, MAME not only made dump of the Original Roland MPU-401 ROM (i.e. firmware), but also wrote emulator of the Real Device using the Real firmware, my initial realization about it is here:
So, I don't know if their emulator is fully functional, but if yes (presumable if not, it can be fixed, because the hardest part is done, i.e. dumping the ROM), what about like we have MUNT-box, we have dedicated MAME-MPU401-box in front of it, i.e. do not rely anymore on expensive, speculatively priced MPU401 interfaces - I mean do diagram like this would be possible:
In order to be able to experiment and add some debug messages to Roland MPU-401 emulator you need to be able to build MAME from its source code - that turned out to be extremely easy in my 'Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS' installation, only 3 simple steps:
So, currently, my conclusion is that MAME did all the hard work - dumped the latest version of Roland MPU-401 ROM (v1.5A) and wrote 6801-emulator that is working. The communication between the 6801-Emulator and the upper layers (where DOS is running) has some issues, but they seem that should be easily fixable as I illustrated above.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. On version 0222 the createconfig command puts the files in your home folder. After editing OSD video to opengl (line 251 in mame.ini), all working fine for me now.
MAME (originally an acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is a multi-platform, open-source, multi-system emulator written in C++. The philosophy behind the project is to focus on recreating the workings of various machines through emulation, with the software's ability to actually play console games being described as "a nice side effect". MAME is incredibly large, supporting thousands of machines and ROM sets, though what is supported is not what's playable; your mileage may vary. In the event you don't like MAME's own interface, there are many alternative frontends available.
MAME is the prime example of a jack of all trades; it can technically emulate consoles like the PlayStation and Nintendo 64, but for those consoles you're better off going with our recommended emulators as they may be more performant or more compatible than MAME's own drivers.
MAME was first released on February 5, 1997 by Nicola Salmoria as a Pac-Man emulator,[1][2] but before he could do any more work on the project he handed it over to Mirko Buffoni in April 1997 after being required to do National Service in the Italian army.[1] Since then, even as early as 2003, the emulator has become very extensive, with the majority of arcade system boards from the 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's supported.
Many emulators other than MAME are beginning to support Compressed Hunks of Data, mainly because compared to the alternatives, it offers compression (or better compression) on all fronts. Libretro is making an initiative to support them thanks to a successful bounties initiative, and in many cores such as their Beetle fork, they've begun rolling it out for certain platforms like Saturn and PlayStation so people can test it.
GroovyMAME (or GroovyUME) is a fork of MAME/UME made primarily to support arcade CRT monitors for AMD cards. It also includes input lag reductions that can be taken advantage of on CRTs or LCDs. However, now that modern MAME versions support variable refresh rate monitors and the "-lowlatency" flag, there is less of a need for GrooveMAME or for other lag-reducing builds such as Shmupmame.
The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) is a computer program developed by Nicola Salmoria and released in February 1997. MAME aims at reproducing as precisely as possible the inner functioning of various arcade machines by emulating their hardware components within the environment of a multi-purpose computer. In other words, MAME conforms to the definition of emulator provided by Conley et al. according to which
An emulator is a piece of hardware/software that allows a user to execute game software on a platform for which the software was not originally intended. For example, video game emulators allow a personal computer to function almost identically to a video game console or an arcade game system. (2004, p. 3)
