[Feature Request] Adding a few consoles and handhelds from lr-mess

[sakamoto-neko]

I was wondering if it would be possible to add these consoles with lr-mess via Retroarch. I'm mainly testing the consoles on the Android side using a RG353V device. I did put some results below.

TimeTop GameKing - lr-mess Android OK TimeTop GameKing 3 - lr-mess Android NG, works on standalone MAME4droid 2024 (0.268) Hartung Game Master - lr-mess Android OK Epoch Game Pocket Computer - lr-mess Android OK Casio PV-1000 - lr-mess Android NG, does work on AmberElec Bit Corp Gamate - lr-mess Android OK Casio PV-2000 - lr-mess Android OK, needs special controls

For Casio PV-2000 specifically, it emulates a keyboard on MAME/MESS, but I've figured out the controls for both players:

PLAYER 1 Enter > START Yen > SELECT Attack 0 > ATTACK 0 Attack 1 > ATTACK 1 Cursor Up > UP Cursor Down > DOWN Cursor Left > LEFT Cursor Right > RIGHT

PLAYER 2 IN4_1 > START IN4_2 > SELECT IN8_2 > ATTACK 0 IN8_3 > ATTACK 1 IN7_3 > UP IN6_2 > DOWN IN7_2 > LEFT IN6_3 > RIGHT

It's quite a big request, but thanks for taking the time to read it.

Please test these under ArkOS and confirm functionality. Android and Linux emulation can perform differently.

Is there an easy way to test the roms under ArkOS? I could test them and provide results.

Run them through retroarch directly. There should be a retroarch and retroarch32 option under the retroarch system menu option.
