Mame status on android shield tv

RetroArch Android devices
#1

Hi, I have bought a shield tv in order to have retroarch and hyperspin working for great emulation.

I would like to know if the nexts android version of mame git will correct the weird resolution and fuzzy Graphics ? Because to avoid this defaults , we need to activate in options the alternate video renderer to correct this but it cancel the shaders with scanlines. It would be so great to find a solution because I read others posts to advise to use mame 2003 or mame 2010 but theses cores aren’t available on android. So at this time we can’t emultate a mame version on android with shaders (fba doesn’t have have all mame games) Thanks. regards

#3

#4

#5

weird resolution (gameinfo screen blury) scanlines uneven jitter in scrolling

all theses problem doesn’t appears on another plateform but i would like to use retroarch on my shield tv

Why not just use FBA, it runs almost every arcade game full speed I throw at it.

i can’t think why mame2003 would cause any issues on android - it doesn’t do anything special with how it displays. i think your config must be weird or something. has anyone else tried it on android?

It’s a known issue:

They don’t seem too keen on fixing it though.

A temporary fix is to use the alternate render method.

@dagnillo That’s just for the latest MAME. The dated snapshots shouldn’t have any rendering issues.

Sorry but I download the core of this post, install on retroarch folder core (shield tv rooted) but it won’t load the cores when I select it in “load core”

So it’d been fixed since then?

Make sure the core has the appropriate permissions and set system to rw

It took me 2 months to find out that on android you must disable SELinux in order to load a core file that you manually place in the core directory.

Once you do that, it should load fine.
