Well, with your new driver it doesn't crash anymore, but nevertheless it's not working: the modules seem to be loaded but they are 'dead' - no display and no reaction to the keyboard.
I think the problem is, that all these "features' in the softwarelist are just not set when loading the module from the menu 'Media'.

The only idea to solve this problem may be to use your previous suggestion, i.e. to read these features only "if (image.loaded_through_softlist())", and else I would have to set these feature values directly in the driver, depending on the loaded module.
But for this I would have to know which module has just been loaded, so is there any function in MAME to get the name of the loaded module (in DEVICE_IMAGE_LOAD_MEMBER(ggm_state::cartridge))?

These games need to be loaded through the softwarelist for the parameter settings to be applied.

It works fine in MAME, I don't know if there is a problem in MESSUI.

eg. on MAME:

mame.exe ggm sandy

then after a few moves, do as the manual says and: press Rank, set switch to MEM.
Then in the Tab menu, go to File Manager, and load a new module from the software list.

Another way: simply exit MAME after step 1, and then:
mame.exe ggm capa

Followed by MEM switch to ON position.

Yep, it works when using the file manager from the Tab menu, but the usual way in MESSUI is to just load such modules from the 'Media' menu, so I would prefer this method.

So my question still remains: is there any command to get the name of the loaded module?
Then I could set those feature values directly in the driver for each module.

image.basename()

I don't think it will work: capa is 2 separate roms, and rom mapping information is in the softwarelist. The media loader can only load single files.

Und jetzt Super System IV, wieder danke Berger & Achim.

And more surprises are coming! I will be tomorrow Friday, and all weekend, working on the computers and cartridges that Achim has sent me.

Best,

Renaissance LCD screen is working.
Sean scanned it from a Saitek Chess Shadow (it's the same LCD). He didn't succeed in dumping the rom from that yet.

Hi...

Hi,

Alles original mit Ser-Nr. 20017 - aber es ist tatsächlich ein Quarz mit 4,1x MHz drin - s. Foto.

Danke Achim!

Dann kann also doch auch unser Mephisto-Experte Sascha noch was Neues dazulernen!
