Stickied, because this stuff is awesome.

I just tried this for the first time and got the following error:


I'm using 0.217 on macOS Catalina.

Edit: Oops, my error, messed ROM path up. It works now, it is really awesome stuff.

Some lurking in the /r/MAME logs coughed this one up! https://reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/njc019/defender_directional_movement_plugin/

Decided to reformat this list a bit, and did a bit of searching...

Which I talk about in this video:

Likely outdated by now, but there is MAME Music Scripts for some music display scripts

I tried out robotron plugin and I got an error.

Lua 5.4
Copyright (C) Lua.org, PUC-Rio

[MAME]> r = require "robotron"
error: error loading module 'robotron' from file '/home/mitchell/.mame/plugins/robotron/init.lua':
/home/mitchell/.mame/plugins/robotron/init.lua:7: unexpected symbol near '<'
[MAME]>

I guess it out of date for the MAME.

I'm guessing that you're using the scripts from https://github.com/grunt2084/robotron-ai

All you really need to do is to change a couple ways to refer to objects and remove the () calls on machine()

then it seems to work.


from:
local screen = manager:machine().screens[":screen"]
local cpu = manager:machine().devices[":maincpu"]
local mem = cpu.spaces["program"]
local ioport = manager:machine():ioport()



to:
local screen = manager.machine.screens[":screen"]
local cpu = manager.machine.devices[":maincpu"]
local mem = cpu.spaces["program"]
local ioport = manager.machine.ioport
