I think you can add the game america's army arcade. It's a global VR game also.

Great job again Espartano !!! I have never been able to run the game twisted. If you have some advices I would be glad to try again...if it's playable

Can't wait to see it but don't worry there is no rush !!

The art of creating something out of nothing

great stuff !!! Thanks Espartano ! So many new setups released thes days, I can't keep up

Thanks for your answer Espartano and thanks for the systems you are sharing here! The Thomson computer series were cheap computers built in France in the 80's. They existed only because the French government ordered thousands of them to be put in our schools. The TO7 was the most common and its only original feature was that it came with a light pen. Then came the MO5 which was equally bad. However a lot of people in France will remember them fondly because it was the first computer they ever played with. I never had one myself and I would never consider it as it was so inferior to a C64 for example. I was not even aware of the TO8, it must have got a very short life span and so I understand why it is so difficult to find quality materials. I am really glad you are working on it, another obscure system coming to life !!

That's a fantastic work, getting something, those artworks, out of nothing !

Thème magnifique ! Merci pour ton travail sur des classiques du jeu PC et sur certains jeux que je découvre grâce à toi !!

Thanks a lot Espartano !! I have followed your work on your youtube channel for a long time and downloaded many of your setups. I hope to see more from you, the TO8 project looks great !

A great job again Hoscarconh. Could you upload the database as well ? Thanks !

Thanks a lot !!

C'est vraiment un très bon début alors ! J'espère que tu vas continuer à nous proposer d'autres artworks

AKHWAllou, your themes and wheels are great ! I never heard of this game but it looks good. Do you have a database to go along with your themes ?

En général je n'aime pas trop les wheels bordurés mais la je dois avouer que c'est la grande classe. Super boulot, je vais les utiliser !

You don't need rest but a good exorcist !!

I had the same kind of problem with the boot.lua plugin in Mame standalone. Reinstalling a clean Mame solved the problem. In the Retroarch folder you may find the file in /system/mame/plugins. If you find it, try to replace it with the one I have included here to see if it solves the problem. Beware: keep a copy of your current file to be able to come back in case it would not be the problem. I don't have a plugin folder myself in my retroarch but I don't use the highscores, history and other plugins. So you may try without the boot.lua altogether if my file doesn't solves the problem. boot.lua

Nice !!

The prompt to format shows that the OS has not recognized the disk. The problem is maybe linked to the format of the file or the way it has been compressed rather than the os, bios or machine I understand that some games doesn't require the chd but they also all work with it. So it's probably better to create a process where the chd is always launched if it's what you will work on. This way it will be easier to add new games or OS later on. I have not been able to launch even a simple game with retroarch. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Maybe you can describe your own process so I can try on my own

Thanks for the answers ! I think that the chd made by pipmick not only contains the os 6.08 but also most of the games ! Try to launch a game, exit to the os and look at what is inside the hard drive. So from one game launched you can play almost all of the 19 games (execpt some who needs a dsk file). What I really don't get is how he managed to launch the games directly as he is not using save states. Also you can see in the cfg folders that he is using different macintosh versions for each games. I don't know if it is really necessay and maybe the mac2 or another model can be retrocompatible enough.

Floatingyeti, sorry to bother, I have a few questions: Have you been able to launch some games with mame_libretro ? Judging from the setup uploaded by sanchezmike it seems mandatory to launch a chd with an OS (mostly the 6.08 for old games). Do you agree ? if yes what would be the solution to load both the game and the OS ? A cmd file would be an option and then a save state but I haven't been able to launch a game with mame_libretro. Also in the cmd file I wouldn't know how to precise which kind of macintosh to launch Again, sorry for the flow of questions but this system is getting on my nerves...

Yes that is a useful detail ! I have not been able to launch a single game via mame_libretro macintosh on pc myself but I am confident floatingyeti will succeed. I have put the hash file filn the cfg file, the files required by mame in the roms folder, tried different versions but my retroarch just crashes without showing anything.

When you arrive to the OS you have access to the hard drive or the disk ? If not it is maybe a problem when loading the game.

The video is useful and at the same time I am trying to understand how it works as it seems to be a pretty clever setup. So if I understand correctly the author has created a hdd file containing the OS 6.08 and most of the games and he has converted it in chd. He has then made copies for each game and renamed them accordingly. The chd files are launched with mame via the bat files, along with some other parameters (for some games, which are not present in the hdd, he also launches a dsk file). What I don't understand is how he can make the games launch directly instead of starting in the OS. Is the renaming enough for that ? (edit: of course not, so maybe something to setup inside the OS itself ?) The whole package is very well done with proper cfg files, choice of model depending on the game and nice artwork. A very good job and the proof that mame can play many more games than only the software files one. It is possible to convert this setup directly to Hyperspin, using the pc launcher module and the bat files, but it would also be nice to propose a more universal setup and maybe add more games. Floatingyeti is looking at this system, and is much more skilled than I am so I will wait for his opinion on this.

THANKS A LOT Sanchezmike, that will help tremendously !

I have mainly tested minivac_libretro with the results I have explained before but I had the intention to come back to mame and your explanations will help a lot. I have tried the few games available in the software list with many different models and the results are always the same, working or not. I think that the later macintosh models have a good retrocompatibility. However the level of maturity is different for each model is different in Mame and I have to take care of that. I must also determine the right HDD/OS version for compatibility. Can you tell me what instructions the ini should contain in order to systematically load the chd ?
