  @mitu Hey, quite a long time between my posts but I did get it working with Clang now. Still haven't packed the app into a bundle yet.

  I just downloaded and mounted the stock RPI3 image (md5: eb62ee88bf890e6d9ac9164bcb3e4a23); I can see /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so, and the associated /opt/retropie/configs/psx/emulators.cfghas this library set correctly. You are mistaken about having the stock 4.5.1 image installed. The most likely explanation for what you're seeing is that you had version 4.4 or earlier installed, and then manually updated lr-pcsx-rearmed from binary some time between March and today, but your script was not updated with the fix I mentioned from March, and thus installed the module incorrectly. This is user error, so nothing requires fixing. My advice stands, and if you still insist that you made a fresh install of 4.5.1, then you should ensure that you haven't downloaded a counterfeit/3rd party image whose version was mislabeled. Always download from the official site only, and verify the checksum after download.

  @paffley It is my intention that those changes will be merged and be available on the emulationstation-dev package. I am planning to revisit soon and hopefully get it merged in the near future.

  @Clyde Long story short, that's not how it works. It always downloads "everything or nothing" due to my current implementation of the cache and how the online databases work.

  Hi, I have some suggestions, some of which I managed to get to run decently: Nuvie (for Ultima 6) Exult (for Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle) Pentagram (for Ultima 8) DevilutionX (for Diablo) and Schockolate (for System Shock) Exult and Shockolate are a little on the slow side and needed some extra attention in the source code... not by me, mind you ;) I'd really like to get nblood (for Blood) to run, but it doesn't compile with USE_OPENGL=0. Anyways! Keep up the excellent work!

  Hi, I managed to compile jfsw with the instructions of the first post. I have managed to start the game, but I have the following issues: My display is a tv with 1920x1080 and the game window is displayed in its native resolution in the top left corner of the screen. If I change the game's resolution to 1080 I have a full screen display, but it is very sluggish. Also, when I access the advanced mouse configuration, the game crashes with a segmentation fault. I know this is all wip, but I just wanted to let you know. Cheers!

  if it makes you feel any better, I bought an RPI4 a little before my birthday (July 30th) expecting to be able to use Retropie and still can't. The Lakka Nightly builds were/are easier to track down and install so I've been using it until Retropie gets their shit together :O

  @SinisterSpatula Nice progress! For creating the favorites list, basically when you have a list of items like api.allGames, you can create a filter object over it, which produces a list that only contains the items matching a particular condition. In this case, it would look something like this: // at the top of the file import SortFilterProxyModel 0.2 ... // somewhere in the file SortFilterProxyModel { id: filteredGames // the new model's name sourceModel: api.allGames // the original model filters: ValueFilter { // the filtering condition(s) roleName: "favorite" // "compare this field of each Game" value: true // "to this value, and include the Game in the new list if they match" enabled: mySettings.showOnlyFavs // optional: turn on/off this filter depending on some variable } } // then, in some other object that uses models GridView { model: filteredGames // the filter object above ... } Sorting can be done similarly as well, and it's also possible to have multiple filters, or combine more than one of such filter objects. In most cases, the sorter/filter you want to use is RoleSorter and ValueFilter.

  @ExarKunIv try to use dos2unix scriptfile.sh I think you've wrong line endings.... Because for me the script runs flawless and if it spit out errors then there is likely something wrong with the interpretion of the script caused by wrong LE. Edit: Okay nevermind!

  @cyperghost I'm not assuming it as outdated, i said i came from your previous revision of the script that's linked on RetroFlag's github page(they didn't update it to this one). And i thought killing retroarch and ES would be discouraged? Like, previously didn't the script send a command to ES for it to close RA properly or something? Also it's not clear to me, how do i use python instead of a bash script, and since it seems to work more seamlessly, why isn't it the default? I rolled back to the old multiswitch script in the meantime, since it still works flawlessly for me aside from exiting from Kodi.

  Actually this core does support some hyperstone games although none of them are actually playable................ GAMEX( 19??, vamphalf, 0, vamphalf, vamphalf, vamphalf, ROT0, "Danbi", "Vamp 1-2", GAME_NO_SOUND | GAME_NOT_WORKING ) GAMEX( 19??, hidnctch, 0, vamphalf, vamphalf, vamphalf, ROT0, "Eolith", "Hidden Catch", GAME_NO_SOUND | GAME_NOT_WORKING ) GAMEX( 19??, landbrk, 0, vamphalf, vamphalf, vamphalf, ROT0, "Eolith", "Land Breaker", GAME_NO_SOUND | GAME_NOT_WORKING ) GAMEX( 19??, racoon, 0, vamphalf, vamphalf, vamphalf, ROT0, "Eolith", "Racoon World", GAME_NO_SOUND | GAME_NOT_WORKING ) GAMEX( 19??, xfiles, 0, xfiles, vamphalf, vamphalf, ROT0, "dfPIX Entertainment Inc.", "X-Files", GAME_NO_SOUND | GAME_NOT_WORKING ) I could i think get Vamp Half to work here performance will likely be an issue on most platforms that use this core though as it ran like a dog on the xbox so i never bothered trying to add it, decent game though........

  No, this is not implemented - why would you need such a feature ?

  @Sparkathor There's a joystick selection tool that can be used to configure which controller is Player 1 for different systems - https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection.

  @jacobfk20 Hi there. I recently got into the RetroPie scene and I came across this thread while searching for improvements to EmulationStation. I read through each and every post in this thread and your project sounds amazing! You put in so many hours and I would hate to see it not live on. Is there any chance you would be willing to spend an evening bringing your EmulationStation up to date to work with RetroPie 4.5.1, please? Thank you for all your hard work and I hope to use the frontend soon!

  I guess I'm thinking of a user remappable but optional button. In case a theme want's to utilize select to call up a special feature, but I guess this need goes away when theme settings screen becomes officially part of pegasus, but could still be useful, like a hotkey perhaps, so a theme could look for hotkey+[whatever button] combo to do something unique.
