@melbmatt50 BIOS files, like ROMs, are copyrighted material so asking for links is strictly prohibited under forum rules.

BIOS files for Intellivision can usually be found in the same location as INTV ROMs but they may not have the name you are expecting. For example, exec.bin may be referred by its full name Executive ROM, The (1978)(Mattel).bin.

For reference, exec.bin, or its alternative name, is 8.2KB in size when unzipped and grom.bin is 2KB. Don't worry about changing the names, the BIOS files should work as they are.

For all info on setting up Intellivision emulators, including where to place the BIOS files, refer to the Docs: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Intellivision/

The BIOS files will not affect the running of any other emulators.

@dankcushions Ah, that does what I'm looking for, I'll just have to find a way to make it a bit more convenient to use. Thanks! Now I can play Galaxy Wars in its true glory. :)

IT WAS THE ROM DUMP!!!!!!! I TRIED THE SAME ROM ON MY PHONE AND ALL THE GLITHCHES ARE THERE!!!!!

@hazzerboraco said in gamelist.xml not being read emulationstation 2.8 windows:

And no, save metadata on exit was turned on.

Nobody asked about this. Can you provide a screenshot ?

@nightshadowpt said in "All Games" Collection adds a platform tag to the title - Can it be removed?:

it could be done by editing a config file as many other things in the Pie.

The areas you're referencing are generally related to the emulators, ports and other elements that we often don't maintain. Backend settings for the RetroPie fork of Emulation Station have been discussed in the past and the general consensus so far has been that the developers find it to be a bad practice.

Is there a way to put it in as a request for the next versions?

You can start a thread over in the 'Ideas and Development' section of the forum. If it gains any traction there, it's possible that a developer may take a crack at adding it. However, the change would still have to be approved by the lead maintainers.

@mitu said in Metal Gear Solid switching disks:

@smokingman The 'workaround' is how you're supposed to switch disks - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#disc-swapping-for-multi-disc-games-in-retroarch.

what i read into this guide is that it is supposed i open eject disk tray, and than switch index to 2/2, and then the guide suggest to select the disk2.cue or .bin file.
if i do that i say it do not work.
it work only if i DO NOT select the disk2.bin or cue file.
it is enough to set index on 2/2, and push again disk tray cycle to close it, and quit the menu.
the guide do not claims that.

but tanks anyway to help me, really bro :)

Thanks guys, my Friend borrowed the pi, so I will post The Result in a few days.
Thanks you very much.

@unicornsonlsd
I did this using the RGB Commander utility. It sets the servo stick from 4/8 way automatically depending upon the game you launch in MAME.

DISCLAIMER: I'm using RGB Commander v.3 with one of the older RetroPie Jessie images. Haven't tested the current v.4 with the newest RetroPie 4.4 Strech image. Might be worth a try though!

@cvanwesep said in Missing files in Daphne download for Windows?:

on the details, because executing it all seems a lot harder than it should be. :)
What numbers do you have your joystick set to? Maybe thos

The joystick numbers can be completely ignored unless you want buttons to move you in directions.

The code will pick up hats(digital) or analogue automatically. The problem with the original code is it only works with digital hats and the buttons are assigned to teh default gpx as well so that can causde issues. The patch i made for this fixes that all that up.

@greenhawk84

That's a very nice trick. Until now, I was under the impression that AdvanceMAME was the only arcade emulator where the BIOS files and clones could reside away from a main ROM grouping. Thanks for sharing this.

@planktonnl you can get your hands dirty and create them yourself.

@Winklepicker Now at some time had passed, how has having that space unlocked been working out for you? Noticed any ill effects?

by emulator you mean the linux version of pico8 right?
where do I copy it?

edit: also there is no es_systems.cfg tried doing a search on my pi on both network and by editing it with nano on the pi itself.

This got me thinking if you could possibly use your smartphone to do that - it seems there's already an app for that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redrobe.raspicardimager (from https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=170856).
I wonder if one can use the Phone to also transfer ROMs.

@affleck001 And now apply what you've learned the hard way and backup your system. B)

@steptoe said in Multiple OS:

Technically BIOS and ROMs are copyright

Technically and actually. ;)

I know this topic is old, but I was having a problem with building this as well recently. Basically the same error. Resolution was to disconnect all controllers (I had 5 plus keyboard plugged in.) Confirmed this as the solution in my case, and adding it here in case others experience it.

@thedatacereal not sure how to do your suggestion. :(

Update: GOT IT! Yea, win!
