@stevejp1978 Had to create an account just to say what a great idea that was. I just did the exact same thing. It was driving me nuts that the folders wouldnt get metadata. Especially when the folder contains 19 files that all have the same metadata

@chaalsbawkley Are you trying to save everything or just your ROMs? Im used to Lakka OS but I do keep a copy of my settings and files so I can transfer them easily. Especially thumbnails, they take forever to download if you have a a bunch of roms and systems.

Maybe not all of your configs will be transfer neatly.

@tripleb84 I’m assuming that the wrong rom is being used. If the game is modded with an ips file, the srm may be for the base game. Or even a version difference or region difference. Many reasons why an srm file may nor be working.

@fulviolcabrera Open the Retroarch menu and select Options. Make sure Screen Orientation is set to Horizontal.

@mitu my bad

You need something like a Mausberry power circuit, that Youtube video is only sending the pie to sleep it's not shutting it down properly / safely like you're wanting. I use the Mausberry and my machine no longer randomly turns on and everything powered by the pie turns off with it. That's why all those videos of people doing the mods with LED buttons have to unplug the machine from the wall to get them to turn off unless they add another switch to turn them off.

@mitu I was just messing around with all of this. I don't have a RP4 yet, but plan to get one. I just wanted to get familiar with the different gaming-centric OSes before I got mine. I'm running this on a laptop that's running Windows 10. I need the ability to have Windows 10 running while I play around with this RP and emu stuff for the time-being. Using VirtualBox gives me that ability. I checked the '3D Acceleration' checkbox and now RetroPie runs. However it's really slow and beyond the configuration menu, I don't see anything else. I've got a VM that only loads an SD card (no 'host' VM OS) of another gaming front-end and the speed of it is great. I'm guessing the slowness has to do with running a system in a system in a VM (or something like that). That's cool. I just wanted to see it.

Cool Cool

@alphabetapie as always, the docs explain this:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/lr-mame2003/#nag-screen
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/lr-mame2003/#skip-warnings-screen

you'll note both point to the core options doc which show where the per-rom core options files are stored. it is not the same file as retroarch configs/overrides.

@jonsim This helped! Thanks!!

@mitu Yes for PS3 Controllers. I'll update, thanks for reminder.

Maybe the particular ROM became corrupted.
Maybe that particular ROM isn't correct for the core, but was "close enough" (not really a thing) for a slightly different core? (e.g. MAME2003, MAME2003plus, MAME2010, etc.) There could be a variety of reasons. I agree, specific logs are the best "next step".

@dankcushions Thank you very much for the clarification! I guess my original problem is solved now.

@mitu Thanks for the help - you're right I did have a settings override for the core, and I had no idea those settings contained the screen mode as well.
So I had to delete the settings override file for the core, then set my screenmode in runcommand, then save my settings override again. All working now.

@george-spiggott said in Amiberry Configuration File - can't locate:

@adambegood I'm also experiencing intermittent results from Auto height. I don't have Rick Dangerous 2 but Shadow of the Beast works fine for me.

Now that I've got the latest Amiberry after updating from Source, Shadow Of The Beast works fine for me also. I have some games with anomalies on auto-height still, but overall I am very happy with the way things are working.

On a slightly different note, I have got some games with graphical glitching (Deluxe Galaga and Plan 9 from Outer Space are the ones I recall). Do you know if there are any settings that might sort those out, or is it just something that has to be accepted?

Edit: Notice here you have mentioned graphical issues: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/30213/amiberry-4-0-released/8?_=1617581491663

I guess these may be sorted as the core is worked on then.

@jamrom2 said in Quick question about lr-vice:

Do you still have vice loaded? Did you try Vic 20 games in that?

Yes. It's completely messed up. Most of my games were saved as snapshots to avoid endless messing around with RAM settings etc, and the new one has completely wrecked the snapshot format so none of them work. Cartridges don't work either.
