Hi,

I am looking for new raspian compilations of some of our engines:

Patricia 5.0 

https://github.com/Adam-Kulju/Patricia


ShashChess 39

https://github.com/amchess/ShashChess


MAME 0.279

https://github.com/mamedev/mame


Lc0 0.31.2

https://github.com/LeelaChessZero/lc0


Stockfish 17.1


I would welcome a direct download possibility but nevertheless maybe Randy will eventually integrate them  (besides some of the new lc0 nets ;-)  into his future images...

Thanks
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Here's a link to the updated engines. Stockfish 17.1 is already in my images so not included. .uci files will need to be created/updated, as well as the engines.ini file.

I haven't done any testing, especially for MAME and the no-nag suppression. Also, I don't know if any of the custom artwork will require fixing (but I don't think so).

Note that lc0v0312 is named incorrectly. It should be lc0v0330-dev. Which is to say, it's development code that will lead to v0.33.0.

Thank you so much for your help & time, Randy!

I will check mame - the dev team introduced a whole new sound system lately so I will keep an ear on this and of course an eye on the artworks...

We should also keep an eye on the LUA plugins. Hopefully no input/output changes were made in the MAME code that would cause them to break.

It looks like the no-nag code isn't working (e.g. cmpchess). I'll see if I can figure it out.

Ok. I have fixed the no-nag version of the mess file. You can download it here. I've also updated the Updates.7z file with the new mess file and the renamed lc0v0330-dev file. See the previous post for the link to that archive.

Perfect - thanx Randy.

Will check the next couple of days...

Due to a change in lc0 and the fact we are using an older version of python-chess (until v4 is ready) you will have to add the following line into the [DEFAULT] section of the corresponding .uci file:

UCI_ShowWDL = false

I'll make the fix in my images whenever I update them to the latest version of lc0/maia.

Randy
