I fixed a brief palette corruption/inverted-looking flash on the VS screen in Street Fighter III: 1st Strike (CPS3) on MAME 0.106. Root cause was in cps3_palettedma_w: palette DMA length was treated as 16-bit only. In CPS3, DMA start register bit0 is actually the length high bit (17th bit), so transfers could be too short in some cases. Patch summary: compute real DMA length as dmalen = paldma_length | ((data & 0x0001) << 16); use dmalen in the palette DMA loop After this change, the VS background...

Andrea, Thank you for merging konamigx drives that had applied up-to-date fixes based on current MAME source codes. I also update these drivers for 0.106, as same as konamigx. Those also have fixes of currently nowadays MAME. I am sorry such sloppy sharing.. \drivers\stv.c \sound\2151intf.c \sound\es5506.c \sound\scsp.c \sound\ym2151.c \sound\ymf278b.c \vidhrdw\taito_f3.c \vidhrdw\tmnt.c

Hello, this is update of cps3.c toward the following. https://sourceforge.net/p/advancemame/discussion/313511/thread/062f8471ff/ Although this enhancement is not port from other MAME distributions, I impressed the original enhancement on CPS1/2 "Buffer Delay" functions on DefMAME thus i added. In DIP setting, these settings are being applied. /* 0x10 = Buffer Delay ON/OFF */ PORT_DIPNAME( 0x00000010, 0x00000010, "Buffer Delay (Sprite Lag)" ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x00000010, DEF_STR( On ) ) /* 1‑frame...

Thanks, Komazow. I’ll pass for now. I’d rather not mess with the DOS version since I don’t have the test and build setup anymore. I just cross-build it from Linux.

I've also tried using the most recent get_fade() from MAME, but there's still no difference. We're probably missing something else. Anyway, I went ahead and merged it.

The pattern at https://github.com/amadvance/advancecomp/blob/e17d498d4d3bfac8bac34e62dc03f5ddb3be9bea/zopfli/lz77.c#L304 (and in the rest of the function) looks exactly like some of the other issues I've reported and fixed. This sort of pattern falls afoul of compilers getting better at vectorising.

Hello Andrea and everyone, The Allegro library (https://liballeg.org/) used to build the DOS version of MAME already contains native drivers for I-O DATA’s IF-SEGA PCI card (https://www.iodata.jp/products/game/ifsg2pci.htm), a device that was probably sold only in Japan around 1999–2000. Because of this, the DOS build of MAME can accept input from genuine Sega Saturn control pads when the emulator is linked with Allegro. Unfortunately, the Allegro drivers—although they do recognize Sega’s official...

OK, I've updated it to use the latest MAME 0.277 source. This should make it easier to find the ROMs, as they now match those used in MAME exactly.

I had the same problem. Turns out that the new Raspberry Pi 3 generation requires you downgrade the firmware to tap into the framebuffer driver. You'll have to do that twice before everything runs clean on framebuffer as it should. It's worth the extra effort though, since there is no substitute for running AdvanceMAME straight from the command line (or AdvanceMENU) in framebuffer. Check out my tutorial here to see how it's done step-by-step on the current (new) generation of Raspberry Pi 3 B+'s...

Hello, Since XOR files never released for some CPS2 titles (for Instance the 1st of Rockman/Megaman's Power Battle CPS2/QSound Version, not "Megaman2 Power Fighters".), I marged cps2crpt.c into 0.106 DOS source, in order to run such titles. cps2.c. cps2crpt.c and mame.mak is being included into diff_cps2crpt.zip. You can apply them basically just overwritten of these files into v5.0 source. As a result, in the future, XOR and any other additional stuff without a ROM set will no longer be necessary...

Extract differences on cps3.cpp on between mame 0.202 and 0.203 written by C++. 2. Apply these differences into cps3.c on 0.106 which was writted as C99.

The only game I can get running is Lunar Lander. I've tried lots of different versions of Asteroids, and none of them work. Am I missing somthing? Either they just spit out back to the command line, or render a black screen. The logs dont give me much to go on. Is there a list of supported games? And, can it run Vectrex games, and how?...

Just realized that you want to use with the fixed resolution of your LCD screen, and not with an arcade monitor. Try disable the SDL support. Like with ./configure --disable-sdl --disable-sdl2 and to comment the "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d " in /boot/config.txt. This is what I do to use my LCD TV, and it works with buster and bookworm. No need to use advcfg as it tries to use customized video mode. It's intended for CRT monitors. Anyway, in the next weeks I plan to release a ready to use distribution...

Hi, I am try to run a self-compiled (from GitHub head) version of advmame on a raspberry pi 3 running Raspberry PI OS without an X environment (direct to framebuffer) on a HDMI 1920x1080 lcd screen. It is my understanding that in this very specific use case I am not supposed to fiddle too much with AdvMame configuration. I should just launch a rom and it should be working. Unluckily this is not true in my case: if I launch advmame with default configuration I get: "No valid video mode available"....

For example, when I run: advmess a2600 -dev_cart amidar=amidar.bin I assume you're using the DOS version? I haven't checked that one in a while, but I don't recall something like that...

Always happy and greatfull for Admame/Advmess to be updated. I use to compile my own flavor but stop many years ago. The one thing that I always check on the New Update is some New Games Added, fixed etc... but there is this one thing that I wanted to see. For the Atari 2600, the KEY C is hardcoded to make the screen Black/White to Color. Some games on the Atari does not use this but many does. My Control is using that key "C" and does give me a little mystery when someone plays a game and sudenlly...

ok for those who are running dkongx, here is the script to quickly press P1 Button1 so the player have no chance to see that Setting Screen on Boot Up. dkongx/script_play simulate_event (p1_button1,1500); Thanks Andrea for all the Hard work. Dunno if it's been reported, I think Fire Barrel Hi-Score is not being displayed. Dkongx : Kong scream/yell is garbled in the intro. Thanks Again.

Thanks for the Update Andrea. v4.0-188 dkongx now works (just a little glitch on the sound of Kong screaming (before game begins. Garbled for some reason). Hammer Away Sound now Works. Thanks for making the Ms. Pacman Twin True Dos 8.3 (mspactwn.zip). Have a question I can't seem to figure out about dkongx. I have this script to push P1-Button1 to bypass that Seetings Menu when game boots up. dkongx/script_play delay(50); simulate_event(p1_button1,50); it does not work. Is this the correct syntax...

Are you referring to the release 4.0? The work in progress build should have Hammer Away working and Mspactwin renamed to Mspactwn. Anyway, you can get the prerelease here: https://ftp.advancemame.it/ You can check the pull request list to have an idea of the changes: https://github.com/amadvance/advancemame/pulls?q=is%3Apr

Thanks for the quick reply Andrea. Also when I tried Hammer Away (also states that it is working), it's not working. (New Working Hammer Away (#120) [arcadez2003]) I just gave up on it. Glad the Mspactwin is working (filename should be converted to 8.3 (mspactwi). The saved hi-scores is mspactwin.hi (9.3). Like I mentioned on my previost post, I just load DOSLFN to mspactwin working. Thanks, maybe on the next version. I been using DOS ever since and I never upgraded. I only use Advmame in my cabinet....

Was happy to see this added in v4.0 and Itried it. Does it really WORK ? All I get is a screen (settings) with some BAD messages and say Press Button etc... but when I do, Game is not working (screen is all garbled). Hope someone tells what the status with this game is cause it states in the Whatsnew, It's working. Made sure I got the ROM and checked each CRC and all matched. Just in case, I am running Advmame in PURE DOS.

Solution found (Running TRUE DOS v7.1) 1. Run DOSLFN TSR Program (this uses around 26k of Memory) Now you can execute advmame mspactwin & works as it should. 2. Remove from Memory if not needed anymore (DOSLFN -U) In my setup, I need as much FREE MEM for other games to RUN. I use BATCH Script to run the Games, so I can add the DOSLFN to load & unload at will. Note: Also if you take a MNG record of the MSPACTWIN. it will create a 8.3 format (MSPACTWI.MNG) file.

I tried mspact~1 mspactwin throwing me ROMS not found (I have the ROMS). DOS is 8.3 format. Should the ROMNAME in the source be changed to an 8.3 format ? Thanks

SOLVED! Got something on the Pi4 that doesn't let me save on exit...even with "misc_smp no" it wasn't happy. Tried on a Pi3, and it let me save the settings....which then let me use those config file lines on the Pi4 version. Lines in question, specifically for Golden Tee 3D: gt3d/input_setting[p1_trackballx] keydelta:32,centerdelta:32,sensitivity:50,reverse:1 gt3d/input_setting[p1_trackbally] keydelta:32,centerdelta:32,sensitivity:50,reverse:0

Currently playing with an ultimarc trackball under retropie on a Pi4. Got the trackball working, but I can't save the sensitivity settings. I've confirmed I've got "config save_at_exit", but the values don't persist. From the docs, it sounds like I can add lines to the advmame.rc file for input_setting....but it doesn't list examples for trackball X and Y sensitivity. I've tried various names, but they all cause advmame to exit on boot. Is there somewhere documented for setting that sensitivity?...

Being a bit more precise: Start a game, TAB into its settings > Input (this game) Change whatever is desired Exit back to the game ... changes are saved and work as desired Exit game Start game again ... changes still work as desired Exit game ... changes have been deleted from advmame.rc Start game again ... changes do not work, this game's input controls are set to default

Since version 4.0, Raspberry binary: Key mappings for individual games in advame.rc, e.g. qbert/input_map[p1_right] keyboard[0,right] keyboard[0,down] (on my pi2Jamma cabinet with the pikeyd165 Jamma driver, this recognizes a diagonal joystick move) get completely erased after exiting the game. So far I have seen this behaviour for input_map only, other game specific settings are not affected. No problem up to version 3.10. This is most annoying especially with qbert, but also with other games when...

Excellent catch, that was indeed the issue, and your suggestions both moved me past the failure. It sucks that GNU didn't agree on a remediation approach in time for the v14.2 release; it's now pushed back to v15 provided they can arrive at some consensus. I'm much obliged to you all the same, though.
