You forgot to specify which game/emulator ? Which menu soundtrack are you hearing ?

@pjft said in Scraping multi disc roms:

Still, given that there's not a lot of meaty new development in ES these days, and the last meaningful changes took place quite a while back, it could make sense to consider a different approach so that new features are released faster?

Sorry for the late response... Holidays, ho ho ho and all. I know I would be all for that personally. Especially when it comes to releasing quality of life bug fixes like this. Editing the gamelists by hand is no fun. I believe the 'Last Played' limit has also yet to make it out of the development branch.

@Clyde You could add the info to an existing issue or open a new one, but I'd test before using a 'standalone' RetroArch (they provide 'flatpak' packages to install easily the latest version) and maybe modifying the build script in RetroPie-Setup to get the latest version of RA to compile.

You have provided no information about your set-up.

The error looks like it could be a connectivity issue. But details of your set-up will help.

@srzarco You already have a topic open relating to this.

My mistake. Sorry

This arcticle helped me find the right cable. The lag on a crt in minimal. Way better than the plasma.

Well it seems to be working OK so I have no complaints. :-) Naturally, if you have a better way of doing this now we'd all love to see it! ;-)

Thanks for the help. :-)

Thanks for the replies folks. Turns out the whole black screen thing on reboot is me being impatient while it restores the space on the new SD card.

I tried it all again from scratch with Pishrink, only this time left it for about 20 minutes after the splash screen then black screen thing. It went to the black screen as before but I decided to be patient this time and after about 20 mins or so it rebooted itself into Emulationstation as it should. Everything seems to be running absolutely fine. Thrilled to bits! Really wanted to keep this image as I'd put a lot of weekends into it!

Thanks again. :-)

"This grid screen" … is there a picture meant to be? Because I don't see one.

However, please provide the information that is requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@naddel81 Portability comes with many compromises, performance is one of the most prominent.

@grant2258 thanks, i will try it.

I use to set bios roms as “hidden” (you can do this in that page containing each file info: name, producer, cover path, year of release, and so on...)
you will still see hidden files in “normal” use, so I switch to kiosk mode (where hidden files are not shown)
when have to do some modification or trick, I easy switch back to “normal” mode by a short controller combo password (default is up up down down left right left right A B) and then when done switch back again to kiosk mode.
this way everything works great, and I am also sure that casual users (friends, or my kids too) can’t mess up with my system (kiosk mode disables almost all configuration switch and options)

@albecacif great to hear! thanks for testing and confirming the patch is working for you.

Cool! Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing the boat on how I could modify controls, etc.

Thanks
