@logiseye You misinterpreted my reply. It wasn't meant as rude. I apologise if it come across as that.

I did reply with two words - "no plans", and then seconds later i added "We didn't write the mali driver also.". I then went to the github settings as I thought I had closed it the other day but hadn't. (I thought I had not actually closed it, as I did mean to give you a chance to respond - my bad).

I only opened the issue tracker temporarily recently to mention something to another dev - we never had it enabled before as it would mean we may end up with lots of SDL issues we are not responsible for.

I have re-enabled it, but I really don't think it serves a purpose to have an issue tracker open for our fork (which just contains a few patches on top of sdl which are specific for retropie). The mirror we fork off doesn't have an issue tracker on it either.

BTW - We may also get rid of the Mali code and instead use kmsdrm backend.

I have a WIP PR for rock64 support in RetroPie - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2205

@rtissera thanks for the work you did up to now - I looked over your tree, but wasn't able to use your changes directly due to different flags (and hardcoded platform etc). However, am happy for any contributions / suggestions.

Note I am still building testing the emulators, so it's early stages still.

@pixelateddad Check if Kodi appears as installed in the RetroPie setup script, then uninstall it and try updating again to see if it appears.

@buzz ok! cheers :)

WOAW ... like write me @screech it is very complicated around the world to found an unique "PEGI" value lol
So many systems in so many countries ...

ESRB, PEGI, CERO, DJCTQ, OFLC, BBFC, USK, ELSPA, VET et SFB, aDeSe, SELL,......

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Système_d'évaluation_des_jeux_vidéo

To make easier to use and understand every where, as soon as a classification info is added to ScreenScraper, it looks at the lowest value, and create a SS classification. Age by Age, if i understand fine from 3 to 18. 15 values.

It is the good solution for every one. And easy to understand because it is almost the Year of the children.
For the skinners it is easy too, because it make 15 images of PEGI or ESRB for exemple, and some are same to concord with the official rule.

PEGI :
from 1 to 6 : 6 images
from 7 to 11 : 5 images
from 12 to 15 : 4 images
from 16 to 17 : 2 images
for 18 and more : 1 image

ESRB :
from 1 to 9 : 9 images
from 10 to 12 : 3 images
from 13 to 16 : 4 images
for 17 : Mature : 1 image
for 18 and more : 1 image

And i wish the default value (if the input is empty) was : 10 to stay in games for every one.

@lilbud Well yeah, but that would be the same as scraping a whole gamelist. I was actually thinking about doing that for myself and dump all files related to a rom (images, video and the rom itself) including a small xml with all the infos into separate folders and ask someone if he can write me a script that merges all single xmls into a normal gamelist.xml. I had one problem with that, i wasn't able to start a game from the root gamelist that's in a sub folder.

We could improve on this:
Press UP to go to the Quit menu.
You know, wrapped-around menus?!?

@csl

Other then doing controller mapping I don't think there is a way. Till someone one finds a way to get the latest zdoom + I think it is called. On retropie

We don't do any libretro core dev short of minor patches. You may have better luck on the libretro forums.

@buzz I edited the post. But I can't edit the @detron 's reply. He quoted my post.

@zigurana
Alright, thanks for your reply, buddy

@used2berx said in [Idea] Game Manual viewing in ES:

@mitu OOPS....

I meant a PDF to PNG, or a PDF to JPG converter.

I believe I found what I was looking for. Have to do a few more tests. It was something called "PDF to Image" that just one dude made and he offers it for free, and it's portable so you don't have to even install it.

I was able to take a 26MB PDF of a magazine and turn it into over 2GB of PDF files using 600DPI. Way overkill and not what I'm looking for. lol

I'll have to try out the 300DPI and 72DPI settings and see what happens.

calibre is a good one, if that doesn't work out

@logiseye said in System Environment Variable pointing to RetroPie dir?:

@horaceandspider Just tried your tip. Unfortunately e.g. UAE config maker fails, since not only /home/pi is burned in, but also the username pi (e.g. chown pi:pi gets called). And amiberry does seemingly not like symlinks.

@logiseye scripts should be able to use ~/RetroPie. That will point to the RetroPie directory in the home directory of the current user.

All the paths on UAE Config Maker can be changed using the command-line options:

--scandirs
--outputdir
--rom-path

The RetroPie Menu script, you are correct, does use a chown to 'pi' but that can be manually edited, and the script is only provided for less technical users, and is not really the suggested running method.

I will look at switching to ~/RetroPie by default however which seems a clean solution

@frgn It currently is not possible.

Yes, the method to make two-handed "tank" controls work on a single 8-way joystick does not require any cheats, just a clever set of controls mapped to what is sometimes called a "tankstick". The mapping makes use of <CODE_NOT> logic where you are actually excluding certain input combinations. MAME lets you setup mappings like this by using a double-tap of an input while in the GUI menu which changes it to a <NOT>, so if you do several inputs in rapid succession, before MAME accepts an entry, you can make some combinations that work in interesting ways.

Here's a mapping for a single 8-way joystick to control two tank sticks like Battlezone:

Game Control Mapped to Right/Up Up <not> Right or Left <not> Down Right/Down Down <not> Right or Right <not> Up <not> Down Left/Up Up <not> Left or Right <not> Down Left/Down Down <not> Left or Left <not> Up <not> Down

There is an odd situation for Keyboard controller users in lr-mame2003 that requires you to first set all retroarch inputs to NUL using a per-rom config file if you want to do this. You can read about it here.

@darknior Wow bud.... You're all over the map, aren't you?

Careful that you don't spread yourself too thin with too many projects at once. I did that myself back in the day and it literally drove me insane. :)
