Will not print the list from list_actions about mametoolkit

[rhickstedjr]

I built and I am using the mame64 custom source: The modified MAME implementation can be found at [https://github.com/M-J-Murray/mame]

info on mame64 binary in use:

parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:$ which mame
/usr/local/bin/mame
parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/mame
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283795616 Feb 11 11:12 /usr/local/bin/mame
parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:~$ ls -l ./mame-master/mame64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 parallels parallels 283795616 Feb 11 15:58 ./mame-master/mame64

I also have a good sfiii3n rom...

You do not need to compile your own instance of mame. When you pip install the library the custom compiled mame will be downloaded with the library code. I'm not exactly sure what is causing this. But a good place to start would be to download the official MAME emulator and try and get your game running on that first.

Removed my mame build and see the same issue?

parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:~$ python3.6 ./sfla.py
Expected output but received nothing from emulator after 'for k,v in pairs(iop.ports) do print(k) end'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Note the game runs just fine.

Found the issue the timeout was too low:
parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:$ python3.6 ./sfla.py
[{'port': ':EXTRA', 'field': 'P2 Forward Kick'}, {'port': ':EXTRA', 'field': 'P1 Roundhouse Kick'}, {'port': ':EXTRA', 'field': 'P1 Short Kick'}, {'port': ':EXTRA', 'field': 'P2 Short Kick'}, {'port': ':EXTRA', 'field': 'P1 Forward Kick'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P1 Up'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Down'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P1 Down'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Strong Punch'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P1 Fierce Punch'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Right'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'Coin 2'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P1 Right'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Roundhouse Kick'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': '2 Players Start'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'Coin 1'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'Service Mode'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': '1 Player Start'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'Service 1'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Up'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Fierce Punch'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P1 Strong Punch'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Jab Punch'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P1 Jab Punch'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P1 Left'}, {'port': ':INPUTS', 'field': 'P2 Left'}, {'port': ':scsi:1:cdrom:SCSI_ID', 'field': 'SCSI ID'}]
parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:$

Fixed this line:

ports = console.writeln("for k,v in pairs(iop.ports) do print(k) end", expect_output=True, timeout=5.0)

I am running in a Ubuntu 18.04 VM under Mac OS X. Seems .5 is not a sufficient timeout.

[M-J-Murray]

I'll change the default timeout to be 5 seconds.
