Latest build, Mame2003+ not saving any files, lots of games not working #163

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I'm using RetroPie. Just built the latest source using @grant2258 's script and found that the following games just exit to emulationstation.

backfire brapboys deluxe5 hedpanic mchampdx shogwarr swatpolc superman tangtang

bang (used to work on an older version of lr-mame2003 but now doesn't work on 2003 or 2003+)

I used the 'Generate DAT' option in the MAME menu and rebuilt the roms.

ghost commented 6 years ago

again ill need your games directory its is working fine here we need to check your permissions and such these games worked for me well superman did even before the nvram was fixed. The nvram and .cfg is fixed now i can confirm that youll need to start giving some info on the exact path of your roms ect and the file permissions set aloso check the commit number your running on from retroarch

ghost commented 6 years ago

@ZappaUtopia

got to the console on retropie so mame open ip properly ie is in console mode

run this

strace -f -e open /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/MAME2003_Split/supeman.zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg --verbose

obviously change your path youll see a lot of info printed quit mame and paste the last few lines

@markwkidd would it be possible to add rom load fails as a printf as well as libretro logging?

ghost commented 6 years ago

the files are being created on exiting the game

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

@grant2258 very recently I changed the logging for ROM load fails so that they should always print to the console (that should be the effect of RETRO_LOG_ERROR).

A week or two ago when I was working so much on the logging I thought I tested this out on my own system. Does it seem like ROM errors aren't showing up in the console in Linux or rpi?

If that isn't working now we should definitely put in some printf alongside but I would also try to call on the libretro folks since I think that would be a bug in the log API.

Edit: I just recompiled from the github source and the files are being created here too.

ghost commented 6 years ago

I built from source again and it seems to be saving stuff now in the Mame2003+ directory but I tried some of the games I listed above and they still exit.

Do you want me to post the whole thing ? The last lot of lines are about Retropad ?

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

if it's super long you can also paste it into a github "gist" and post a link to that here: https://gist.github.com

Is this right https://gist.github.com/ZappaUtopia/d800b01d04998e96b24be0ec891b6763#file-gistfile1-txt

I noticed in that log that it's calling the rom supeman but my zip file i superman

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

I was just about to post that. I think there is a typo in grant's command he asked you to paste. Could you change supeman to superman and try again?

Although you should be getting an error with at typo and not a segfault. That is something I'll look into meanwhile

ghost commented 6 years ago

OK, I corrected the superman spelling mistake but now I getting a ton of errors about libretro, it scrolled most of it off my window so I couldn't copy the start of it ! This is the end few lines.

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

Well, now we know that MAME errors are definitely coming through the new logging interface.

Hopefully our MAME errors are actual clues. It would be good to have a gist with the full log, in case they are relevant.

Let's modify grant's command to save the log into a file instead of appearing on your screen.

strace -f -e open /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/MAME2003_Split/superman.zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg --verbose >> retroarch.log 2>&1

That should give you a file called retroarch.log in your current directory.

ghost commented 6 years ago

That just said 'segmentation fault'. Is it supposed to save to /dev/shm/ ?

I ran this as my roms are in the arcade folder. strace -f -e open /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/superman.zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg --verbose >> retroarch.log 2>&1

dankcushions commented 6 years ago

hypothesis: hiscore.dat is writing to wrong memory address for this version of the rom.

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

hiscore does look suspicious in the log

I'm playing this game fine here @ZappaUtopia in Windows 7 x64 although I don't have any saved high scores.

@ZappaUtopia Could you try to delete superman.hi from your mame2003-plus/hi folder and start it again?

ghost commented 6 years ago

I'm using RetroPie. I retried some of the games I listed in the first post and none of them worked, so it's not just superman. Regarding @dankcushions 's hypothesis, I don't have any hiscores in my hi directory so I just played Bombjack and got a hiscore but no hiscore file was created in the hi directory.

ghost commented 6 years ago

not all games store hi scores @ZappaUtopia mark changed the hi score system as far as i remeber disable that and load/save states ill test every rom on there and let you know if i have any issues at all.

will just need to copy my mame2003 plus collection over from my windows box

conclusion we have an un handled condition for rom loads to show you the problem lets take a game that works.

pi@retropie:~ $ /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus/tangtang.zip"

all is good remove the .zip

pi@retropie:~ $ /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retrop/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus/tangtang" Segmentation fault

the other games that arent working on this list is probably a symtom of the original fault

to show you this issue clearer open a rom that doesnt exist

pi@retropie:~ $ /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003-plus/mame2003-plus/test" Segmentation fault

now this should be easily be fixable its will need to wait until i am off work though again this will have t wait until im off work or i get some free time in between

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

It's odd because RetroArch is not supposed to send a game to load if the game has an invalid path according to libretro.h. I added some comments about this to mame2003.c when I was investigating earlier today

ghost commented 6 years ago

well emulation station send the command line based on a zip file name the thing is doing this manually is a good thing we should be dealing with unpredictable behavior like trying to load something that doesnt exits. Its not the big of a deal its just something going out of bounds shoulddnt be a complicated one. That was me doing the test thing to show an example that was all mark

ghost commented 6 years ago

i must admit ive been neglecting retropie because im using retroarch now for development ill try them two games on 64 bit see if they segfault too and get you a backtrace if they do

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

I've just been conferring with bparker over discord. I have a fix I think for when it's passed an invalid path. The old mame2003 check for invalid paths was not right, but neither is my approach.

think these two are a separate issue mark ill look into this more

markwkidd commented 6 years ago

yeah, I think you're right. I'm looking at some of these things and it's not adding up to one issue :1st_place_medal:

ghost commented 6 years ago

well the rom loads on the other games is the issue when the file doesnt exist its going out of bounds but these two games alone are something else. They all work apart from these two.

@ZappaUtopia make sure you case and filename is exact for now until that issue is fixed

ghost commented 6 years ago

@markwkidd am going to git the hay will look more though start work early tomorrow but i will look into this more when i get the time for them two games i mean.

Wilstorm commented 6 years ago

That looks like it will fit the bill. I like the cherry switches that go clickety-clack and have backlighting. I think you're onto something here. You can jump on the desk/keyboard, You'll jump higher and get a decent keypress no new shoes required.

You shouldn't have told us the keyboard is at fault. Now we will expect proper spelling, punctuation and grammar once that new keyboard arrives. I know a year from now you'll be telling us I'm still waiting for the new keyboard to arrive when we spy a spelling error.

ghost commented 6 years ago

well this is another retropie problem arrg the fix is working though thats the good news

ghost commented 6 years ago

Well the fix does work on both its because i was testing my script and I changed to the retropie script and didnt take the name change into account when testing the official retropie script my command line was wrong is all.,

backfire deluxe5 hedpanic mchampdx swatpolc superman tangtang

The fix is done please test @ZappaUtopia no more segfaults

ghost commented 6 years ago

@ZappaUtopia if your still getting issues do the following

cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ sudo git reset --hard sudo git clean -f git fetch origin pull/2398/head:mame2003-plus-fix git checkout mame2003-plus-fix

at this point you compile the 2003 plus core.

if doing it manual do a build, install, configure (the configure is important)

if building from setup it does this all anyway.

test mame in emulation station the segfaults on a none existing file are gone now as well thats fixed on the last commit.

@Wilstorm would you mind testing as well and anyone else

backfire deluxe5 hedpanic mchampdx swatpolc superman tangtang

you should be at commit f880445 when testing

I personally cant get any issues with these games at all again it depends how gcc optimized the code that was bad. im on a pi2 a pi 3 and a pi zero could have different results.

ghost commented 6 years ago

OK, just built from source, again, using your instructions. They still don't work, I give up :) This whole thread has been making me doubt myself about my findings when people keep saying they work fine. It seems i'm the only person testing this on Retropie. I think Wilstorm uses Retropie but his last 5 comments have been nothing to do with MAME :)

I have played several other (working) games but I still don't have any hiscore files in my hi directory !

Does any of this have to do with RetroArch version ? What version are you guys using ? I'm using v1.7.1. (Which is what RetroPie uses).

ghost commented 6 years ago

@ZappaUtopia im doing my best here to try get people involved my retropie is working fine. We will get there just need to figure out whats going on your end. Im testing on retropie myself. on a raspberry pi im assuming your on a raspberry pi as well.

ive upgraded to retropie 4.4 and i had to do system update right away after i installed it

ghost commented 6 years ago

if your using retropie 4.4 i stongly suggest you update your system. If your over clocked undo that.

you will have problems updating do this

cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ git checkout master git branch -D mame2003-plus-fix

run setup then pick update

Before I try your commands i'll just let you know what i'm using. My roms are currently in RetroPie/roms/arcade. Do I have to change anything in your commands you listed ?

I am using a quite fresh install of the latest RetroPie image (v4.4 Stretch). No overclock. RPi 3.

Just about to have something to eat so I'll check back later.
