How to show & sync mame engines GUI while playing ?

[Luigi Vogliobene]

Hi, I am not able to show the mame engine GUI while playing the engine w/picochess.

If I type ./mess xxxxxx the engine GUI is showed  but if I play it do not show the moves.

Thank you.

Hi Luigi,

when you just type "mess engine_name" manually

a) picochess chess won't notice and know that running engine

b) you have to run it with the plugin option otherwise you won't get the uci wrapper 

So the trick was to modify the picochess.service described by Kiko that allows picochess to have these engines run with gui output and you have to modify the engine scripts for running with graphic output.

It is all somewhere "hidden" in the image thread but I think Al might be posting new consolidated instructions soon (the basic tings I mentioned above will be the same for desktop/VNC Client and XRDP methods)...

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for answering, I take this opportunity to thank you, Randy, Al and all those who support us, patiently, with advice and suggestions. I have a question regarding the Centaur engine: I read that it is based on the Stockfish engine, I wonder how similar it is to the Centaur DGT on adaptive levels. Thanks again. Luigi

Hi Lugi, that was more meant as a joke hence the name "Centaur ;-)" - it has nothing to do with the real Centaur (except for the fact both are based on stockfish).

It is just an older kind of adaptive stockfish version ( Stockfish DD - you can see the exact version in the engines.ini I think).
