Mame 2014 please help!

Hello all people! could someone help me setting up mame 2014 core for lakka 2.1 rc6 (i use odroid xu4) i noticed the core mame2014_libretro.so is included in the distribution, so it’s supposed to be supported and work, right? but i’m not able to run any game :frowning: i have a splitted 0.159 romset and my playlist looks like this:

/storage/roms/Lakka/mame2014/88games.zip 88games /tmp/cores/mame2014_libretro.so DETECT DETECT Mame2014.lpl

but any game i select cause the menu to restart. more i have the playlist icon and games icons completely black… please help :sob:

Ehhhhh…I don’t think it’s working. Reicast is included in the RC6 build too, but the RC builds are TEST builds and are still subject to bugs, moreso than the stable releases. The reason I mention Reicast is because it’s not working in the RC6 build (tries to launch game and then crashes). Need to get a log going when I can generate one (I’m on the road).

Are you sure your MAME ROM set is compatible with the core?

ok, understand it, how can i check if my mame rom set is compatible with the core? what’s the working mame core included with rc6? thanks

UPDATE: tried Lakka V2.1 Final, still same behaviour… :frowning:

First off, BREATHE! MAME is one of the hardest emulators to configure. Hell, I remember when it actually WAS a command line interface!

Second, here: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Arcade/

But instead of MAME2003 (which requires ROM set version 0.078), substitute the MAME 2014 ROM set (which, for the record, you’re going to need ALL of the ROMs in that set to be version 0.159). Try Non-Merged if Split isn’t working for you. Something isn’t quite right though…you get the BIOS in place for the emulator yet?

raises eyebrow

thanks again for your patience,

i have a full 0.159 splitted rom set, i checked the directory (according to the wiki page, mame bios files go in the same directory of rom files) and all bios are present.

i will try non merged romset…

the strange thing is that the menu restart with the error “failed to open libretro core”, but the core is present, the path is correct and the core entry in lpl is correct too, so why lakka can’t start it? (this happen to the mame 2003 core too, before upgrading lakka, mame was working) i miss something…

little update: in Lakka 2.1 final it isn’t present mame2014 core, so, i downloaded it and copied to storage/cores using SAMBA to move it to /tmp/cores via SSH this is what happen:

Lakka:/tmp/cores # cp /storage/cores/mame2014_libretro.so /tmp/cores/
cp: can't create '/tmp/cores/mame2014_libretro.so': File exists
Lakka:/tmp/cores # ls -a /tmp/cores/mame*
/tmp/cores/mame2000_libretro.info
/tmp/cores/mame2003_libretro.info

/tmp/cores/mame2014_libretro.info
/tmp/cores/mame2016_libretro.info
/tmp/cores/mame_libretro.info
Lakka:/tmp/cores #

what’s going on? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

reverted back to 2.1 rc6 and tried with Mame 2014, i found Mame 2003 core work in Lakka 2.1 final. with mame 2014 i have the same behaviour with rc6 and 2.1 final

this is the log i made with MAME 2014

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

thanks…

Segmentation fault = run out of memory for the program, for lack of a better term. In this case, and many others, it’s the core that has executed that has run out of memory.

I can probably tell you that MAME 2014 has a bigger ROM set, and therefore takes more memory to run, than MAME 2003 or MAME 2010 (which works on the XU4, BTW). I also tried 2014 and 2016 and the current version of MAME, and I’m pretty sure that’s going to be the case for ARM. Your 0.159 ROM set is not going to help you here. You can try the MAME 2003/2010, but I’m pretty sure they’re not going to work with the 0.159 ROMs you have.

However, for x86/x64, all the MAME versions are currently working. You can try a live USB on a PC and load those core versions with your 0.159 ROM set to make sure it’s good to test it out, but personally, I think you might have hit a limit on the XU4’s MAME processing power.

ok thanks again, i hoped i didn’t got over the limits of my XU4, but hey… no problems! i will set up mame 2010 :slight_smile: since it is not included with lakka, do you know where i can find the .so core?

You can find the cores for ARM-based Linux boards here: https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/

Have you checked github to see if this is a known bug?

In this case it sounds like this bug, which crashes MAME 2014 if certain paths aren’t manually created: https://github.com/libretro/mame2014-libretro/issues/54

If it is the same problem, you might also want to post your log and/or contribute to the bounty. I put in my $5 :wink:

I left my XU4 version of Lakka down at my parents’ house as part of a junk/stuff reorganization, but as I’m going to run back down there soon, I’ll probably pick it up and deliver a log or two running some diferent coress to see if they generate the same segmentation faults.

thank you very much. meanwhile i’m almost ready to test mame 2010 :slight_smile:

Dude, the entire MAME 2014 ROM set weighs in at 537 GB. Dude, REALLY!?!?

That’s just the ROM set. You want to power that on an XU4?!?!?

Tried running it on an older ROM set, got the same segmentation fault:

Space, the final fronteer… i have a “reduced” romset (mechanical and not working chds removed out) and the collection is around 250gb. i’ve a 1tb hdd connected to the XU4… so no, space is not a problem :slight_smile:

i saw your post on github but i didn’t understand it i saw segmentation fault error with mame 2014, but didn’t see any error with mame 2010. was you actually able to run Mame 2010? thanks

Yes, I was able to run MAME 2010. but be forewarned: Your 0.159 ROM set may not run on MAME 2010. I was running a different ROM set altogether (0.106, the one for AdvanceMAME 3 for the Retropie suite). Normally, you get some ROMs that don’t work across sets, and then you get ones that do (due to the way that MAME is coded and how ROMs have to be updated with CLRMAME Pro).

However, it’s not too difficult to the get the MAME 2010 ROM set and run that just make sure it has the games you want (I’d much rather have LibRetro configurations on the MAME and FBA stuff).

By the way, have you tried FBA on your MAME 0.159 ROM set? Lakka always runs with a much more current version of FBA than MAME anyway and it might work out for you.

thanks again @Shockwave

i have the mame 0.139 romset too :slight_smile: so no problem for compatibility issues (i presume) :slight_smile:
