Re: Advmame games booting with scrambled graphics

dee2eR, I had the same issue with Joust2, so I added it to the nosdl array in advmame.sh, which fixed the garbled graphics, but the game ends up displaying in horizontal mode, which is to say it's not rotated appropriately for my vertically-oriented monitor. Is there a way to fix the graphics issue ...

Re: ARpiCADE 3.X (that's a ten, I thought 10 may be confusing...)

Cool, I'll give that a try, thanks. Fwiw, I don't have any compelling reason to run Moon Patrol under AdvMAME 3.9. I had just placed the ROM in the mame-106 dir per the ROM Compatibility List , and AdvMAME 3.9 is the emulator that loads when I launch the game. Might be something to look into tho, si...

Re: ARpiCADE 3.X (that's a ten, I thought 10 may be confusing...)

In case it wasn't clear, my monitor is physically mounted in a vertical orientation, and what I'm saying is Moon Patrol is displaying in its native horizontal aspect under AdvMAME 3.9, unlike the other horizontal-aspect games I have tested under 0.106, which automatically rotate 90 degrees so as to ...

Re: ARpiCADE 3.X (that's a ten, I thought 10 may be confusing...)

Moon Patrol is the only game I have noticed so far that launches in AdvMAME 3.9. However, the aspect appears to be (mis)configured for horizontal screens, unlike all my other arcade ROMs, which are rotated appropriately for my vertical (480p) display. How can I rotate games in AdvMAME 3.9 for vertic...

Re: Games not loading in AdvMAME

Nvm. Figured out that my advmame.rc file ownership was incorrect, which was preventing the custom settings from being written. :oops:

All good now.

Re: Games not loading in AdvMAME

Oh, and also where do game-specific video settings get written?

When I save them in a game, it says they are saved to /<game_title>. However, I can't seem to locate those files anywhere.

Re: Games not loading in AdvMAME

Looks like there was already a commented arcade_hide statement present in /boot/launchers/ScanRoms_V007.sh designed to hide the parent ROMs in question, so I just used that. :) Something else I've noticed is that when I launch the child ROM (Gauntlet, for example), adjust the video output resolution...

Re: Games not loading in AdvMAME

Thanks again for the first-class support, dee2eR. Really appreciate it! Got those other ROMs working, so I'll see if I can tweak the scanning script to hide the parent ROMs in question (making sure to make a backup of the original script beforehand). If that proves too problematic, I'll fall back to...

Re: Games not loading in AdvMAME

Thanks, dee2eR. Gave that a try, and it worked for Gauntlet, but still having issues with Simpsons and TMNT2. Could be I don't have the correct ROM sets, or maybe something else is going on. I'll continue to post re. my progress on those. Re. Gauntlet, both the 2-player (clone) and 4-player (parent)...

Re: Games not loading in AdvMAME

Good question... Not sure. Where are the parent ROM files supposed to be located?
