  @sx-111 They're described on the 1st page of the project EmulationStation has a few dependencies. For building, you'll need CMake, SDL2, Boost (System, Filesystem, DateTime, Locale), FreeImage, FreeType, Eigen3, and cURL. You also should probably install the fonts-droid package which contains fallback fonts for Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, but ES will still work fine without it (this package is only used at run-time).

  @hiulit said in [Tutorial] OpenBOR - the complete guide: @cyperghost Great work! I'll try it out! Hello my friend, nice to see you again. Yes give this a try ... OpenBOR gives good gaming experience. About the unpacking of the .pak files - I just tried on Windows ... never on Unix. So I would appreciate a nice feedback about the way you setted the game up. Maybe @darknior and @BiZzAr721 can upload their joypad configs so I can integrate into this. Biggest respects fly out to darknior - he made the CLI work.

  Thanks, it means a lot :) Also I've just added a visible play time counter to the main theme, you can check it on the game details panel. There's a bug though, the value will only update when Pegasus is (re)started -- fixing this will need some minor structural changes, but if that's done, it'll also pave the way for achievement support.

  @arcadetv Hello! Appreciate you looking into all this - I'm trying to get scanlines working on scummVM (retropie) and I've dropped your script into the folder you stated. Could you tell me how I activate this though, as when I go into my options in ScummVM I still don't see these scanline shader options right now. Cheers! James

  @future-child Thanks again man. Works perfect. :) Well... except for that Beamrider issue. No worries. I'll probably figure out how to get it running in kat5200 someday whenever I put my focus on 5200/800 emulation for my own projects. This was a lot easier setting up this time since I just did it. I was dreading having to put the 5200 again for the 4th time, but everything is up and running with very little pain.

  @darksavior said in Hypseus new Daphne fork to try on Retropie: Those hd rips weren’t supposed to be ripped at 1280x720. I’ll try to convert dl1hd in its original res and report my findings but I think the higher resolution might be causing your freezes/lag. Try 720x480. I've use MediaInfo and you are right, my Dragon's Lair M2V file is in 1280x720 16/9 resolution MP2 NTSC HDV 720p Real games resolution to respect are 512x480 / 640x480 / 720x480 / 1280x720 : Astron Belt : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 Badlands : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 Bega's Battle : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 Cliff Hanger (2009 Restoration by Darryl Hirschler) : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 Cobra Command :-fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 Dragon's Lair : -x 640 -y 480 Dragon's Lair [Remastered by Accumbens (and Franck) to HD 720p the 15/02/2016] : -fullscreen -x 1280 -y 720 Dragon's Lair 2 (Enhanced v3.19) : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 Dragon's Lair 2 [Remastered by Accumbens to HD 720p the 12/03/2016] : -fullscreen -x 1280 -y 720 Esh's Aurunmilla : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 Firefox : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 Galaxy Ranger : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 GP World : -fullscreen -x 720 -y 480 Interstellar, Laser Fantasy : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 MACH 3 : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 Road Blaster : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 Space Ace : -fullscreen -x 720 -y 480 Space Ace [Remastered by Accumbens to HD 720p the 31/03/2016] : -fullscreen -x 1280 -y 720 Super Don Quix-Ote : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 Thayer's Quest : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 Us Vs Them : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480 But for Dragon's Lair it's better, but not smooth :( I can't play it, many times i hear the sound before the image, i don't have this problem with SD version where i can complete some scenes :D I will update first post with these settings.

  @meleu Wow this is really helpfull ;) Cool snippets for bash coders. Thank you so much. For ex: Reverse array I did for ((z=${#array[*]}-1; z>-1; z--)); do echo "${array[z]}" done Reverse array with the bash-bible ## Reverse an array # ```sh reverse_array() { # Usage: reverse_array "array" shopt -s extdebug f()(printf '%s\n' "${BASH_ARGV[@]}"); f "$@" shopt -u extdebug } # ``` Up to now my version seems a bit less complex. Maybe it's due my limited coding skills. I'm still learning ....

  @grant2258 I definitely agree. RetroArch is a technical marvel with all it does and I use it in most instances, but the ability to explore other options that might suit certain use cases better is a real benefit.

  I noticed that defragmentating the drive is a feature. From what I have researched, this is only good for hard discs. Trimming is good for solid state devices.
