Game not loading correctly (Emscripten build for neogeo)

[jiun73]

Hi,

I have followed the instructions to build MAME with Emscripten using neogeo/neogeo.cpp at https://docs.mamedev.org/initialsetup/compilingmame.html

I got the emulator working with the emularity loader, and then hit a brick wall.
The emulator starts, and always lands on the crosshatch, apparently meaning 'no cartridge detected' (https://wiki.neogeodev.org/index.php?title=System_self-test)
I have tried changing arguments around, rebuilding, but to no avail.
This is a last resort before I give up. Does anyone here know what is wrong?

Here's the files that I currently have:
files.zip

exemple_console.html the file you must tune.
Before running it from emulatory I would recomend to polish your setup in desktop version: figure out which rom/software files you'd like to use; which params you need at startup.
Then mount required files and translate startup params in your html.

Look e.g. here, you'll probably have better idea:

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to look more into when I've got more free time.
I had already tried booting the rom for The last blade 2 with the neogeo bios and it did work, but was unable to reproduce the same effect on emulatory, but maybe I missed something

Try emsdk 3.1.25, not latest

For the arcade version should just need to reference the correct driver and not try to load the generic neogeo machine with the game as software, right now assuming it finds the zip correctly it'll be mounting in the first file found from the lastbld2.zip into cart1

MAMELoader.driver("neogeo"), should be MAMELoader.driver("lastbld2"),

For the softlist version the softlist xml needs to be available as well or the cart will not be attached correctly, i have my own wrapper for emularity but mounting and attaching the neogeo.xml to the appropriate place as an extra file should get you where you need to be.

something like this, then pass extra args using MAMELoader.extraArgs to set -hashpath /emulator so the softlist can be found.

MAMELoader.mountFile("neogeo.xml",
MAMELoader.fetchFile("neogeo.xml","/emulator/neogeo.xml"),

Thank you! setting the driver the lastbld2 did the trick since all I need is the arcade version :) I was sure i needed to put neogeo as the driver ahah
