i was hoping that there was a generic 0.78 working-only datfile, as the list would be the same across any mame emulator using this romset, but i couldn’t locate one :(
0.78 mame romset driver#
So my plan is to go through all these (100+) driver files, and then manually locate and remove any GAME_NOT_WORKING from my 0.78 datfile, and the provide that to the community, so we can rebuild our romsets, unless anyone can think of anything quicker? it seems scriptable.

0.78 mame romset code#
So, if you look at the source code you can see how those messages are generated – it seems that the files in src/drivers contain all the warnings, so a search for GAME_NOT_WORKING across the entire code base will find all these games. i’d like to build a 0.78 datfile that ignores all these roms, as there’s no point having stuff clogging up your storage/emulationstation when it won’t boot. So i’ve been messing around with lr-mame2003 – pretty good! however i’ve noticed that the 0.78 romset has a sizeable chunk of games that won’t work at all, to the extent where the nag message on load tells you it won’t work (usually because of copy-protection).
Fair warning they take quite a while to compile on the rpi2 (like 30 min to an hour, maybe more) you can try if you have a rpi1 but I doubt it will work very well but feel free to try it and let us know if you are able to get it to work. dat files and simplified the instructions a bit: I also updated the clrmamepro page with an easy to read chart of the new. Like the others they are open for anyone to edit if you feel so inclined. I’ve created new compatibility lists for all three: The new emulators can be installed from the experimental menu after you’ve updated the setup script: see these pages: For those of you that are interested there are 3 new arcade emulators: lr-mame2003, lr-mame2010, and lr-fba-next.
