Arcade MAME 0.253 ROMS, RUN IN BLACK ON ANDROID!

[RetroExecutioner]

 

 

I did exactly like in the video;

I confirm that on LB on Windows, all games are working correctly; the system I copied is Arcade only. Everything shows on my Android tablet, including the artwork and videos, but the problem is that when I try to play the game, all games go on black.

 

I update everything on the Retroarch, using the latest version of Retroarch Plus and the core MAME 2003 PLUS.

 

Could you please help to fix this issue?

 

Please check my video on the tablet.

How did you import the ROM files?

If you have the full MAME 0.253 set, your best bet is to use the core: mamearcade_libretro_android.so 

In the video you were using a game specific override to adjust your emulator settings, which would only affect that one game you were configuring. To change the emulator/core for all arcade games, while on the game list, click on the menu in the top-right, and go into Emulator Settings. Make sure your emulator is just RetroArch, the core is mamearcade_libretro_android.so, and Extract ROM Archives is turned off (this should all be the case by default). Then try to play a game.

Man, you are unique; you make my day. Thank you. Now it's working. Many users told me I must have a new set of MAME ROMs. I work a lot for this set of only 4 GB.

I import the ROMs from Android transfer via LB on Windows, which is very easy.

One thing I want to know is how I enable the screen to appear in MAME settings, like on Windows, via the TAB key. Where I can choose cheats and other stuff, I don't want to do it via RA; I prefer old school via MAME directly. Is it possible?

Also, I prefer the Xbox series Bluetooth controller 🎮  Is there a way to configure one time for all systems? Or do I need to do it for each?

 

Update: I tried more arcade games from different systems, and I noticed that not all are working, for example Capcom system III not working at all, other systems working, but has glitches in the graphics.

Can you tell me please what other settings should I change?

Tbh, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe someone familiar with this core could answer this better.

RetroArch, and a bunch of emulators will automatically provide some kind of default controller profile that should just work out of the box, but if not, you'd have to go into each emulator you've decided to use and set the controller at least once.

I'm not sure. I know some ROMs require CHD files in order to run properly, make sure you have them in the right place. Graphic glitching would be an emulator issue that you may want to bring up to the community for the emulator in question.
