Autoboot lua scripts in MAME


spycat

Recommended Posts

I recently came across this
https://github.com/Bob-Z/RandoMame

So far I've tested out the electron_cass.lua with my electron_cass softlist games and things work ok.

Just for initial testing I added the electron_cass.lua file to my MAME root folder.
I set my Default Command-Line Parameters for tapes as
electron -autoboot_delay 2 -autoboot_script electron_cass.lua -cass

Nice find!!  Thanks!

I tested the same and it worked great!  I subsequently tested putting the lua script into its own folder.  I created a folder under MAME called softlists and placed the script in there.  Then for the command line, just added the folder name and a / in front of the script.

electron -autoboot_delay 2 -autoboot_script softlists/electron_cass.lua -cass

An autoboot lua script for use with MAME's mtx_cass software list games.
The attached mtx_cass.zip contains the lua script. Unzip and move the mtx_cass.lua to where you keep your other lua scripts.
My lua scripts are in a folder within MAME called scripts. If you keep your's in a different location, then alter the parameters below to suit.

LaunchBox Default Command-Line Parameters:
mtx512 -autoboot_delay 1 -autoboot_script scripts/mtx_cass.lua

mtx_cass.zip
