USING RETROARCH WINDOWS SOFTWARE
This sets up MAME so it does not force it to use the software list Hash files. Once you have Retroarch installed with the latest MAME core and BIOS file, you’ll need to make some adjustments in the core options file. I have this version of Retroarch installed here: This keeps my MESS based systems together and separate from my other configuration (for MAME, NES, SNES, etc). I renamed the extracted folder (to keep it separate from my standard Retroarch emulator folder). The BIOS files go into the Retroarch\system folder MAME/MESS BIOS files (obtained from latest MAME and latest MAME Software List versions) Retroarch with the latest MAME core installed (it has MESS built into it) This launches Retroarch with the MAME (MESS) core with the new command line parameters and our rom file. The *.bat file creates a secondary MESS *.cmd file with the MESS command line parameters and then launches it. This allows the ability to setup cassette, floppy assignments, memory expansions, etc. The *.bat file is used as a command line launcher script so we can pass MESS based command line arguments to it. This special *.bat file is located in the Retroarch directory. I'll work through the method here and demonstrate it using the Bally Astrocade system.Īttract Mode will launch a special Windows *.bat file and pass it the '' value. If anyone would like to see a video demo of this method, let me know and I'll make one and post it. Sorry for the long post and I hope it makes sense. The latest MAME Retroarch core includes MESS built into it so there is no separate MESS core. Setting up Retroarch/MAME core to not use software lists makes this possible. Using this method, you do not need to adhere to the old MESS convention of using the Hash files. I've worked out a method to get any MESS based system working and it's easy to add new ones (it might take a little bit to figure out the exact MESS command line arguments though).
USING RETROARCH WINDOWS PC
It's easier on a Raspberry Pi / RetroPie build to do it - but i wanted to also get it working on my Windows PC build. So far, I've been able to figure out quite a few systems using this method. I've slowly been working through this process and adding MESS based systems using Retroarch. Hey group, ever wanted to tinker around with MESS based systems on a Windows PC build with Retroarch?
