I'm using RetroPie as my retro videogame at home(using Recalbox as for today, but I still have a sdcard with RetroPie for thinkering). Default emulator is lr-mame2003
and it is pretty well integrated with EmulationStation(the graphical frontend).
What I want to know is, and I found no tips at the documentation: Is there a way to create a credit limit per game reset to somehow "emulate" inside mame the continue behavior of cartidge games? I want to limit Sunset Riders to 3 credits per game reset for example.
Someone could ask "why not play the Snes/Genesis version of this game then?". Well, that is because we are doing a party with old friends from my childhood, and it will be more fun to play 4 players arcade version than just the 2 player video game version. And it will not be that fun if putting credits is an unlimited action.
libretro
got removed? isn't this tag relevant?libretro
and the rest is done by command line passing arguments to the "core"(emulator) itself, or by editing the emulation config file. This will make people know that technology im using during emulation, and give better anwers. @DanmakuGrazer - I've made an edit to that tag, but i'm waiting it to be peer reviewed - It's some sort of "emulation centralizer" in a very simplistic way libretro.com/index.php/apidolphin-emulator
for example(if you really "don't care hot it's handled"), and libretro is not ONLY an API if you look at the broad scenario where is integrated with retroarch(and i have put that info on my tag edit). I'm just adding info on how i am emulatin: Not inside windows, not directly through a binary/emulator executable, but through libretro+retroarch configurations...
