Hi there,

Does anybody happen to know why wahcade returns back to the game menu but isn't controllable anymore after finishing a game with mame(at least since 0.170 if not 0.169)

Greetings

Hello.
I have just compiled Mame 0.172, and it works just as before.
I can go back to wahcade and start another game.

I get back, too but I can't control anymore. Could you show me your ini-file to compare?

I have set up a test system with Sparkylinux " Game Over" with the latest Mahcade, and Mame 0.172.

They are pretty much default, i changed a few path's in Mame ini, maybe you could post your wahcade.log.

Controlling wahcade after the game works fine with nes or snes emulation for example but not with mame anymore.

I don't see any problems (after a quick look), but be sure to delete the old mame.ini and create a new one after upgrading mame.
Are you using the latest Mahcade from Github: https://github.com/sairuk/wahcade?
If you do, be sure to manually copy the plugins directory to the installation directory, the installer doesn't do that.
I did a clean install of mame 172 and Mahcade on a test system, my cab is still running an older mame, and mess.
I am not sure my cab's hardware is up to the newest mame, it's working quite well now, the benefit i see is the ability to save highscores.

I never did that. perhaps that is the problem?
I don't know what to change then, what do I have to change after updating mame?

by **General_Faliure** » Mon May 16, 2016 5:14 pm

the docs state you should also remove mame's plugin directory before upgrading.
I didn't change much in the ini, only adjusted the paths.

by **the_gamer** » Wed May 25, 2016 1:16 pm

I just installed the version i just git cloned from the destination you named and copied the plugins folder to /usr/local/share/wahcade/. Changed nothing. And I tried it without the plugins-folder. This seems to change absolutely nothing? What is it good for?

[EDIT]Found out something is wrong with my /usr/local/bin/wahcade. The version this launches has the errors. If I run wahcade by

Code: Select all: cd /usr/local/share/wahcade python2 wahcade.py

it works fine. Now I have to find out how to replace this bin since it doesn't come from my packagemanager? Strange…
The odder thing is that /usr/local/bin/wahcade says:

Code: Select all: #!/bin/bash cd /usr/local/share/wahcade python2 wahcade.py $*

[/EDIT]

by **sairuk** » Thu May 26, 2016 1:13 am

plugins handle filetype launchers, it looks for the file extension in the ini, if it finds a plugin with that type in the name its execute the plugin instead for launching.

In regards to the controller issues it could simply be the bug we can't track down

AFAIK only Zombie packages wahcade anymore, I know ubuntu dropped it so I dropped launchpad as its a pain in the ass running multiple version controls. Maybe Arch still package it, they did at one point.

by **General_Faliure** » Thu May 26, 2016 2:15 pm

Maybe it's the controller you use, or the linux distro.
I use a Minipac, which is recognized simply as a keyboard.
I also have a real keyboard, a spinner and a mouse connected.
On startup my cab's mainboard recognizes 2 keyboards and 2 mice, but it all works fine.
My cab is running Linux Mint 17.3 Xfce, and the latest Mahcade, but an older Mame.
On my test system i have Sparkylinux 'game over", which is based on Debian Testing, with Mame 0.172 and the latest Mahcade.

by **the_gamer** » Fri May 27, 2016 2:10 pm

My controllers(yeah, testet multiple!) work fine for anything, why shouldn't they work right after wahcade launched sdlmame?

What I don't get is: Why don't those two commands do the same thing?

by **Zombie** » Thu Jun 23, 2016 9:12 am

I think you have stumbled on a Python bug in your Linux Distro.

So recompile python2 could solve it?
I don't understand why super nintendo works fine and mame does not and there is no difference in the logfile of wahcade.

BTW: I am using archlinux, they don't screw with the configs normally and use every program in vanilla config.

by **Zombie** » Sun Sep 25, 2016 10:49 am

I use python2 for WahCade.
