Months have passed, but today YQ2 8.50 was released, and here's a gigantic PR to celebrate:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/4057
@Lolonois can you check it out?

@DTEAM

No I didn't either.

I read some nice things though :

Philips CDI improvements faster ARM dynarec improvements

That is why I only made a binary for rpi5 to get the most out of it.

Some update about this twin-stick feature, it has been added to Forgotten World (CPS1) last year and to Eco Fighters (CPS2) yesterday. Now every rotary games in FBNeo should have this support.

Special thanks to pjft and dink for their work on this.

@DTEAM

Thanks for looking,

Strange that I overlooked some.
I think the new classich ones are not automatically detected will have a look next time.,..

Databases for 274 and 275 should be OK now.

Anyone willing to share a link with their file with pastebin.com?

/opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini

After more than two years, I finally found the motivation to work on this project again and improve it.

New features

The biggest new feature is the ability to check a romset against a DAT file, and to transform a romset into a non-merged one. Several common DAT files are provided: MAME for the latest Batocera and Recalbox versions, MAME2003 in different flavors, and FBNeo. Merged and split sets are not supported, as they make no sense in the context of this tool.

Other new features:

Completely rewrote the "top x" lists in the wizard and added some new selections Added some new games lists in the wizard (4 buttons, vertical, multiplayer vs/coop) Before copying files listed in a CSV, the app now lists the missing ones Added the possibility to help translate using Weblate New translation in Swedish - please contribute to other languages if you can, it's not hard! A new console application has been created, in case you want to automate things In the latest MAME versions some files (other than samples and bioses) are needed, they are now copied along with the roms Fixed bugs The Windows zip file version launches the debug window upon starting Crash when a CHD file already exists 404 link in the help section Encoding error in some JS error messages Path with "+" doesn't work

I just tried with my fork on a Rpi5 to create a Rpi3 image.

The warnings in creating the chroot image (your step 5) can be ignored.
xpad and usbmount fail with an error but these can be re-installed on the real Pi3 if needed.

When the final image creation (your step 6) fails with something like

device-mapper: reload ioctl on loop0p2 (254:1) failed: Invalid argument create/reload failed on loop0p2

just run it again.

@Lolonois said in Skyscraper is back! (v3.15):

no ETA for 3.16 we are talking at least about months.

Well, at least more than one month. :D But anyhow. 3.16 has just arrived.

With this release Skyscraper has gotten its 10th scraping module: This time for GameBase DB. Any GameBase DB is usually provided as Microsoft Access DB but Skyscraper provides a script to convert it to a more compliant format (Sqlite), which also saves you to install some MS blob DB drivers.

In general the other scrapers also did get some attention:

IGDB now scrapes Covers and Screenshots and supports querying for a id=... in the --query parameter, ArcadeDB does scrape HD-video for any title that provides it, various things put straight in Mobygames scraper, Import scraper with XML format now allows the closing XML element to be on a different line than the opening XML element (comes in handy for longer game descriptions).

The scraper documentation got also some (hopefully useful) overview tables.

See the details of changes with all links to the added and updated documentation.

Please update the RetroPie-Setup script before updating Skyscraper to have everything in place.

Happy scraping!

@Chef-Otis, have you followed the steps in the README? Were you able to start the service, or what issue are you facing exactly?

I usually respond faster when the error is reported through this channel: GitHub Issues.

@boxwine-exp

I mean about this script

https://github.com/GeorgeMcMullen/rp-box86wine

@mitu Awesome! Thanks.

@mitu i'm going to try it! maybe I need to adapt the flags on my system and it will work!

@kelvfimer

Cool !
I agree.

@retropieuser555 very cool

I created an account just to say thank you for this!

@sugarfree yeah, it's kinda what I had in mind.
I'm not very practical about shell scripting, however from what I could grasp it seems that they're creating a whole new mapping script to create evdev mappings.
Since I was trying to create a Python script that was going to be launched when a ROM had been selected and didn't want to add more dependencies, I tried to use SDL2 as library in my script: however the naming a of the buttons are extremely different from what you could get from evdev and had to make an intermediary translator between evdev and Dolphin passing through the SDL mapping of that gamepad.
Their solution is far more practical. However I think one of their bigger limits is that the script essentially creates a Dolphin profile for each gamepad, basically a 1:1 mapping between the gamepad and the GameCube controls. For the GameCube I think it's a pretty neat solution. Different matter is when you try to apply the same strategy when mapping a Wiimote: one profile isn't enough since you can have more peripherals setups on a Wii.
Two things I could think of are: making a profile for each possible setup (Wiimote, Wiimote+Nun chuck, Wiimote+Classic Gamepad etc...) and asking at each ROM load which profile should be loaded to each player, probably with a nice whiptail+joy2key TUI; or creating on the fly a configuration after asking which peripheral setup the player wants.
