DavidC Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 58 minutes ago, Shift838 said: From my understanding the Raspberry Pi 400 is a standard Raspberry Pi4 with 4GB ram. May I ask what OS you have on it if? I have tested on a RPi4 and a couple of others have and it has installed with no issues. May I ask where it stops for the 98% can you take a screenshot or copy the contents of the status window and post please. When it reads 98% it should be around after TIIMAGETOOL has been downloaded. After download it should expand TIIMAGETOOL. You should have a 'tiimagetool' within the directory where you flagged MAME to be installed. If not, then please also check your 'temp' folder within the folder where you ran OoeyGUI to see if the TIIMAGETOOL.zip file is there. The OS is NOOBS I guess, what ever comes stock, prebuilt on the SD card they supplied with the 400 kit. I will get a screen shot of the error message that shows up on the console. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 You have to install the libSDL2_ttf library in your operating system. This is required for MAME. For Raspbian this should be something like "sudo apt install libsdl2-ttf" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly NOOBS gives you an option to install Raspberry Pi OS or LibreELEC as well as options to download and install other 3rd party OS'. Which did you select to install ?

I didn't, the 400 came with the SD Card preconfigured with The Raspberry Pi OS on it. All I did was turn it on and start using it. I will get another SD card and start from scratch. edit: What OS do you recommend? If it works on your test Rpi's what OS is on them?

+mizapf Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 If you can afford some more patience, I would recommend not to switch too early to another OS before this problem is solved. Maybe there is some version requirement for some library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to make a rpk from the newest Extended Basic G.E.M. rpk files are really zip files. Try to rename one and see what's inside it. If you want to create a new rpk you need to edit the layout.xml file to match the ROM and GROM files inside the archive.

I usually generate my rpk files in the project folders they belong to. The setup program just creates a carts, disks folder etc. You can always go in and change it, but if installing MAME via OoeyGUI it does it all for you. But you can move things around and customize as long as you change the configuration directories and resave the configuration. Of course copy your carts and disks to those directories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrissom Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 1st! I continue to love and use OoeyGUI. @Shift838 , you've done a wonderful job on this! Now a question (feature request?): In the setup, we can select where our Diskette directory is located. That works fine. If I have subfolders in the directory with sorted files, I don't seem to be able to load them. I can select them. However, OG only reads the root. I can easily work around this, but wonder if this is normal? (If it is a bug then I missed this during beta ? ) DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
