No problem. Mine are all set to default I never changed any of that either..so idk shrugs

Glad you got it working! :D

sorry, but did you hit the Fn button with F4, because MS keyboard works like that.

@jonnykesh Alright! That's not so bad :) Guess I should get familiar with gamelist.xml ...

@Zathura
[OFF-TOPIC]
Sorry for being off-topic and unable to help you. But the "Zathura: A Space Adventure" movie was shown this afternoon on TV in my part of the world. It's an incredible coincidence or you were inspired by the movie you watched this afternoon... :-)

EDIT
Trying to make this an useful post...

I found this tutorial: http://berryboot.alexgoldcheidt.com/starcraft-on-retropie/

I didn't try myself, but I hope it helps you. ;-)

It's not a coincidence. I'm fully aware that "Zathura" is a ripoff of Jumanji, but I didn't know that back in '99 or '00 when I saw it on a library cart and chose it as my online handle thereafter. :p

@tropez You can't. It's the same on Xbox 360 controllers also. The lights indicating player number must be part of the proprietary drivers installed on each hardware system. The generic OS drivers used in Linux / RetroPie haven't included this function.

@salvaliebana install joystick selection. Go into retropie menu. If you see joystick selection then it is already installed and go to paragraph 2. If it is not read paragraph 1.

In the retropie menu, go into runcommand. In there install joystick selection. Exit. Restart your pi.

Go into retropie menu, then into joystick selection. In option number 1 you can select which joystick is each player.

@atol I believe you you're talking about how to get your screenshots using another computer, right?

There are many ways, but I think that using a SFTP client is the most common. I use Filezilla on Linux, but if you are on Windows maybe you can try WinSCP. Maybe you can find more useful info on the Transfering ROMs part of the docs.

@flashpc yeah, it's great. I took advantage of this feature in my rpie-art tool (link on my signature).

Cheers!

@erayman Not a bother, and I'm sorry that that is the answer. :|

I had to set the Scraper to "No-Intro" instead of "theGamesDB". That did the trick.

I went through this just last night. I "remade" all my cue files (made blank zero byte files and just named them "gamename.cue"). However the scraper scraped the same game over and over again and the game was for the sega megadrive not the psx sooooo shrugs

You can add the videos manually yes. Place them into your /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/images and then re-scrape them. Two things though..

your videos need to be renamed so they have -video.mp4 on the end (i.e. Tekken (USA)-video.mp4) I would strongly suggest you use a batch re-namer to do so! (for windows use Bulk Renemer or for linux use Pyrenamer it is in the repos))

The BIG problem is the two scrapers don't play nice with each other. The "built in scraper for ES will delete the video tags and Steven's scraper may not pick up the correct info due ti the database (I guess).

So what happens is you don't get boxart or info and the wrong vid but everything is tagged...then you go trough and redo them and you get boxart and info but no tags. I have not tried to scrape the videos locally from the folder after using the built ES scraper yet. It might not erase anything and add the video tags.

So you want to do the built in ES scraper first and then use Steven's scraper to scrape from your folder after you have renamed all your videos. I can try that later and see it it works..but again you will need files that at least end in the correct extension. I had I batch/script that would do just that..but that was a lifetime ago when i was using MameWah..I'll see if I can dig it up...but don't hold your breath ;)

Edit: Ok so here is what i did..and it worked..okay...

I scraped all my pbp files with the built in scraper then I used Steven's scraper scraping just the cue files and append that to my list and it scraped some of my videos. So I still had to hand edit my list..so might be the only why do to it is by hand..

Here is an Idea..scrape just the cue files (making sure thy have the correct name and all that) with the built in first...then scrape with Steven's scraper appending the information to the list (that way your video tags are added) last go and do a find and replace on the gamelist.xml and search for .cue< replace with .pbp<
(yes add the less-than sign..just to make it harder to replace something else.)
The only catch with that is your pbp will have to match your .cue file names exactly it's an idea anyway.

EDIT: You can batch rename your .pbp to .cue then scrape..then rename them back from .cue to .pbp

@parasven Ahh, cool. Thank you!

@veganpete said in Retropie launching ROMS from SD card, instead of USB.:

My question is:
1- How do I delete the duplicate ROMS from the SD card?

a number of ways. the docs are typically for adding roms, but instead of adding you can use these methods to access the files, and then delete:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#sftp
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#samba-shares
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#manually-copy-files-from-usb-stick

2- How do I point Retropie to launch ROMS from the USB stick?

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/

3- How do I prevent Retropie from trying to copy the ROMS back to th SD card again?

doing https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/ will stop that happening.

Hi Chaps. Old thread I know but wondering if you guys got to the bottom of this?

I am running Pi 3 with retropie 4.3 on a 1080p HDTV and lr-mame2003.

Output resolution is set to 1080p/60 and when render resolution is also set to 1080p the bezels work perfectly (with some performance issues).

When my render resolution is set to 800x600 I have the same issues as OP.

Running the render res at 800x600 gives me super smooth scrolling whereas with 1920x1080 i get snatchy/glitchy scrolling.

Happy to provide more info, just wondered if there was something obvious that I am missing.

Great work Floob! Cheers

@stingjay you clearly did not read the message that is on top of every single page of this forum:
Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

We have good docs here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

I am really amazed with how easily we can set a retrogaming machine on a cheap board and completely with a free software.

It does seem that, for some reason, ES was not updated for you. It complained about a missing "selectorHeight" property, which should exist in more recent ES builds. I don't know why that's not the case for the 4.3 image, though, as it should have a very recent ES build in it.

Do you still get those selectorHeight errors in the new ES?

@ballboff I think that's kind of what he's getting at. We don't really know what customizations that particular build has, and how to revert them.

You may go to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and edit the main settings there, but do so carefully so that you don't break anything. The settings you may be looking for would have "overlay" in them, and probably there's one that says "enabled" which you do need to set to false.

If not there, there are different folders under /opt/retropie/configs/with the different emulator configs, but you'd probably be better off downloading a stock RetroPie image and start from there.

@jwcbronski Thanks.

It was effectively a very ad hoc trial and error approach to coming up with something that would be similar, as they use drastically different volume ranges and settings.

I hope this one works best. Feel free to keep using this version of ES for the time being, and whenever this gets merged to the stable branch you can use it.

Thanks!
