P.S. Is there any timeline for getting the code rewritten? Using CFLAGS="-Werror=strict-aliasing" finds a bunch of issues, and could be incrementally fixed.

Important compiler safety options are only used if CFLAGS isn't set

Advmame crashes with Nvidia drivers (linux)

Finally I tried with a NVidea board and I can replicate the issue. You can workaround it with the -nosmp option when starting advmame.

what pins of the VGA connector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector AdvanceMame uses for 15KHz ? In particular for sync: only pin 13 is used as composite sync? or 14 (vsync) + 13 (hsync)? If both are possible (my arcade monitor supports both) see video connector in attachment. is best separated vsync hsync? or only 13 (composite) is used anyways?
-
It sounds like this would be your perfect match: http://pinhp-image.com

I'm about to start a new build with a 15KHz 28" arcade monitor, ad I've some questions: 1) in past (20 year ago :-) ) I made a cab with AdvMame/Menu, but today does it still makes sense? Everybody is using Batocera with 15KHz script. If I'm ok with only mame and 0.106 roms, AdvMame has someting more than Batocera? 2) which linux kernel / distro is advisable to use for a new AdvMame build? I usually work with debian 3) on hardware side I could use: - an Athlon K7 with AGP video card Geforce2 32Mb...

Hi, I have tried to use the DOS build of advzip v2.5 to repack an archive but the tool stopped on an assert. Screenshot and archive attached.

I can confirm that it doesn't concern Nvidia drivers because it is the same with Nouveau drivers and that it doesn't concern Xorg because it happens with wayland too. The games work normally the crash occurs only if you press TAB and start OSD

Miguel Silva posted a comment on discussion AdvanceCOMP Help
I have a problem, if I lock the menu I can't close the advmenu. I already edited the misc_exit with all possible options, but it didn't solve it. Is there any alternative to close the emulator even with the menu locked? Or is there any way I can change the key that opens the menu, to make it difficult to access?

Relativity posted a comment on ticket #303
I tried to force SDL_VIDEODRIVER="wayland" (as per sdl2 doc) and advmame says it is not supported, so wondering if it is set to use older sdl version? Still doesn't explain why sdl is working for actual game play but not OSD. Might have to wait for Andrea to chime in
-
Yes, I can confirm that it concerns the OSD because I also have the same problem with the esc key. I know the error encountered by the Arch guys and I can confirm that it is most likely the same, but that it is not related to Xorg because even using wayland the problem remains the same
-
Interesting..... I am dealing with an issue that whenever the (OSD) ON DISPLAY MENU is visible no input is accepted so the reason for the crash is possibly just due to rendering the menu. This OSD is visible with the terms agreement if you just launch a game via command line and is bypassed when you launch it through advmenu... does it crash if you just hit ESC in game too? willing to bet it does and with the same message. You may have saved me some time... and even though I am not getting that error...

I updated the drivers to version 530 but even removing the library you told me nothing changed and I still get the same error. if I start AdvanceMame from the terminal it gives me this error: advmame gberet AdvanceMAME - Copyright (C) 1999-2018 by Andrea Mazzoleni MAME - Copyright (C) 1997-2003 by Nicola Salmoria and the MAME Team X Error of failed request: GLXBadContextTag Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request:...

funny, I just removed the libnvidia-gl-530:i386 and I do not get that error anymore...so it has to be something else I did... let me know if the above works for you

so I know that the Nvidia driver absolutely trashes the GL libs, The only other thing I did was updated to 530, I updated to 530 tried and still got that same error I then reinstalled some of the libglxxx packages still didn't work I then installed libnvidia-gl-530:i386 and it worked.... Maybe try these in order then 1. update to 530 2. reinstall libgl packages ie libgl1, libgl-mesa-glx, libglfw3-wayland etc. 3. then reinstall libnvidia-gl-530 as well as the server.... I am running latest version...

Sorry. The library is already installed and doesn't work

you can fix this error by installing i386 version of GLX sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-xxx:i386 replace the xxx with your version of nvidia driver. this will only get you so far though as I have to post another issue

Andy Silverman posted a comment on ticket #282
Crash still occurs with "display_restore no" added to the .rc file in my case, but I was still able to get a log with -logsync, attached below. The log appears to end normally in spite of the crash, but you can see for yourself whether there's anything unexpected. Just to see what would happen, I then rebuilt with --disable-fb (in addition to --enable-debug, --enable-sdl2, --disable-sdl, --disable-vc. After removing a couple of now "unknown options" in the .rc, the emulator still runs in SMP albeit...
-
Hi Andy, With the --disable-vc I'm able to replicate the issue. I'm able to work around it using the option -nodisplay_restore that tells AdvanceMAME to not restore the video mode at the exit. But take care that AdvanceMAME still uses the framebuffer, unless you build with --disable-fb. It just uses it without the VideoCore interface. So, I'm not sure that you are really using the SDL. If even with -nodisplay_restore you have problem, try also with -logsync that writes the advmame.log file. Attach...
-
Spent some time reproducin the bug again today. Here's what I encountered: When retropie determines that you're running on a Pi4 it compiles the git version with the following configure flags: --enable-sdl2 --disable-sdl --disable-vc because it expects the PI4 to use the DRM/KMS video driver, not videocore. So I built from the github master with those options plus --enable-debug. (Without those options you get an error from advmame when running from the command line that you need to run under a window...
-
The situation is that if Advmame is started in SMP mode on the Pi4 in the RetroPie environment (I.e. launched by command line via EmulationStation) then when you go to exit the emulator it crashes during exit at some point before any config file changes made during the session are are written out. Any ROM, doesn't matter which one. RetroPie does not use any windowing system, it relies on the DRM/KMS drivers as the bug states to run EmulationStation, and the Advmame config must use SDL. Happy to provide...

Yes, I’ve used the git version and enabled debug but for some reason that SIGSEV is all that is reported if I remember correctly. Stack corrupted? I did try to debug it further but didn't get very far. I'll try again and make sure.

Hi Andy, Have you tried the git version of AdvanceMAME ? It has changes specific for the Raspberry 4. You have to build if from source. Also, try to run AdvanceMAME directly from the command line and not from EmulationStation, and check if the problem is still here. When building AdvanceMAME, you can also use the ./configure --enable-debug, that will report more information after a crash. That info will help to get an understanding of the problem. Ciao, Andrea

Hi Andy I tried on my Raspberry 4, and it looks like working well. Can you replicate the issue with the git version of AdvanceMAME on a standard Raspbian ? If yes, in what condition exactly ? I tried from both cmdline, window environment fullscreen, and also in a window (-output window), but everything looks like working. Ciao, Andrea

Hi, Little AdvanceMenu bug with "Select Game Type" feature, to reproduce : "Select Sort Mode" -> Type Then change the current type with "Select Game Type" option : each time the current selected game is moved to the selected game type. For example you are Tetris , you select Race games type and now you'll see Tetris in Race game type. To illustrate : https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4labbx0ct35vpj/AdvanceMenu%20bug.mp4 Thank you.

A long while ago I remember adjusting at least the positions in-game, like done in the advv test screen. Have found nothing in the docs...perhaps I have a memory of using the arrow keys to advance through the available modes for that game ?
-
It has no 'black bars'. It has space not displayed in the field. Given your unknown resolution, and given your unknowing of what resolution means regarding the games and your display, and your apparent inability to read the docs...or even play around in the tab menu>video......it seems you will have to suffer with it. I will tell you this: MAME and AdvanceMAME default to full screen display, regardless of orientation. (73 words - fnord)
