Yes, I did my own research and decided that you have no idea what you're talking about and are spreading false information. The tool PSX2PSP produces PBP files that can be re-extracted into bin/cue files with no loss in audio or video quality.

You say you converted 1200 game images with PSX2PSP and all the time you thought the audio tracks were compressed into mp3? You are not the smartest tool in the shed then, because the size difference would be enormous for many games if that were the case.

(I don't care what Sony has done with its own PBP releases, they are probably lossy.)

Well found another bug not sure when this one crept in but the midway games need fixed again as this was changed during the refactoring.

its broke in plus as well with if you turn off bypass audio skew.

unfortunately the bypass audio skew needs fixed in mame2003 and its off by default. Since you are syncing the cores ill let you decide what you want to do with it.

@markwkidd Although I don't use it, thanks for the information.

There are some good instructional vids out there. Unfortunately some of the most popular ones are not always too accurate. Need someone who is clued up to make more.. eh @herb_fargus ;-)

@Dwarfboysim Thanks. That is known behaviour for launching for any core that allows to select the emulator for specific rom.
Best way to me is to create a new "system" in ES dedicated just to vic20 (by "cloning" the c64 vice core).

So........ I feel so Slow. Also remember to rename your bios files from .bin to .rom.... But now I got it to work.... Happy me..

@herb_fargus I found that relying on sleep to properly time a 30 second video was getting mixed results so I modified your script a little to crop the video afterward for a more uniform recording length.

It requires that you install ffmpeg beforehand though.

#!/usr/bin/env bash system="$1" emulator="$2" rompath="$3" launch="$4" rom_file="${rompath##*/}" rom="${rom_file%.*}" mediadir="$HOME/RetroPie/roms/$system/images" tmpfile="/tmp/$rom-video.mkv" videofile="$mediadir/$rom-video.mkv" # Create videos folder in system's rom folder if [[ ! -d "$mediadir" ]]; then mkdir -p "$mediadir" dialog --msgbox "$mediadir created!" 20 60 >/dev/tty fi # Launch to record gameplay on RetroArch Systems. if [[ "$launch" =~ retroarch ]]; then eval "$launch" "--record \"$tmpfile\"" & sleep 120 killall retroarch # Crop video to 30 seconds eval "ffmpeg -y -t 30" "-i \"$tmpfile\"" "-acodec copy \"$videofile\"" & exit 1 else dialog --msgbox "Video recording is not supported for this system" 20 60 >/dev/tty fi

@nans1906 Yes - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6132/.

Just add the full path to the script in the .sh file and make sure it's executable.

@mitu I used the desktop version.

As this is a dedicated retropie device, I could have just downloaded the image. But at the time I was setting up three different RPis, two of them file servers. So it made sense to create them all from the same image, and avoid configuring them all individually.

Previously, my RPi wasn't a "dedicated" Retropie, so that was a manual install too.

@cyperghost this is definitively a really good idea to consider for a new feature. I also have been thinking on something like this for controller battery display or other system messages such as "Wifi Connected" or "Controller Connected".

As you said, the most common"hack" for this is to use pngview and dispmanx layers to display stuff "on top" of emulationstation. This of course is not very elegant nor very flexible and requires an RPI. The idea you propose would be multiplatform, so definitively worth it.

@mitu's ideas are very good too. This idea should be put in a TO-DO list or such. I currently don't have much time but when I have (hopefully soon) I can def help programming ideas like this.

FIXED: Change 'common.cfg' aspect ratio index to 23.

@mitu Yeah, it seems to. I'll try to switch over to Pegasus, that may offer touch functionality.

@chipsnblip Argh, I thought there was something wrong with the link, but the target was the problem. 😳

Again, thanks!

@silverbullet
So I did a little detective work.
It looks like in RetroPie 4.4/Stretch the /var/log/sixad file was removed and the logs for sixad are sent to journald ("/run/log/journal/44377289e4ad47738189eab7cbdb463a/system.journal" on my Pi) and i'm not sure if the script can read from that file as it contains a bunch of different logs.

to test this you can try changing batCheck.py from
"logPath='/var/log/sixad'" to "logPath='/run/log/journal/44377289e4ad47738189eab7cbdb463a/system.journal'" (note the big string of characters in the file path is probably different on your Pi!) and then running the script
