Do you happen to have a laptop? Even an old one?

EDIT: Doh! Necrothread!

@herb_fargus Yes, it is the strangest thing. I did recreate everything except for the rpconfig menu. It shows only the word "rpconfig" instead of "retropie config" and there is no help, no icon in the icon/video window to the right. It works, but is just not pointing to things. Are you saying to look for other es_systems.cfg or go through the entries in that file?

Most games have a start video or preview, especially arcade games, it's just how they were designed. RetroPie is a collection of emulators and the games are normally as they were when they were new.

I'm not sure this is a way of skipping other than using the Retroarch hotkeys for fast forwarding, though I've not explored that myself. Hotkeys etc are well documented in the official wiki though.

@stoo I guess maybe it chooses the latest version of the specific region then. Thanks for checking!

@willie1280 said in ROM version doesn’t match MAME version...whaaaaat??:

So for Black Tiger as an example. Line 380 (bktigerb) says it's parent is "blktiger". Does that mean it needs line 407 in order to run "OK" in Rpi3?

Yes exactly. You can either have both .zip files in the desired rom folder or you can merge the contents together into the one zip file (into the child zip file).

There are also other games that have a BIOS requirement that can again have the contents of which rolled into the game zip. Or for lr-fbalpha specifically the bios zip file can just reside in /home/pi/BIOS and I think you could do this with parent game zip files too in lr-fbalpha but doesn't seem neat and tidy to me.

@mitu said in PSX scraping woes:

@baviaannl Have you checked the video files - played them in another video player ? Maybe they're encoded differently and (even) VLC cannot play them. If it's not the gamelist, maybe it's the videos.

VLC on my Mac can play these files OK, tried a few media players without any issues.

@kaptainsteve Welcome. Please see Controller Configuration in the docs and report any remaining problems. If I remember correctly (I'm not at home at the moment), the "B" button starts a game from the list in Emulation Station.

@baviaannl There are some solutions listed in this Q&A on superuser.com.

@gforce In this case, if you prefer to edit the configuration file, have a look at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#config-hierarchy to determine where to add the configuration parameters.

@spudsmctoole I'm guessing that's a no, then?

Well, I somehow managed to fix the issue while I was sorting out other things last night. No idea what I did to fix it exactly, so I wasn't able to track down what I did to cause it in the first place. A bit unsatisfying, but oh well.

Thanks for the help. Either way, pointing out that log file to me probably directly resulted in my error getting fixed.

And yes, I memorized that page. I tried it around 15 times, and ate about 3 hours of my night til I gave up

@alturis said in AdvMAME 3.6 Input Issues with certain games:

but they are nowhere near as convincing as the retroarch crt shaders.

I would probably still be running advmame for everything if it weren’t for those shaders in RetroArch. This and better analog support is the reason lr-mame2003 became my default, but it was mostly for the shaders. Now, Advmame is primarily for vector on my cab until someone adds hi-res rendering to the vector video in 2003.

@blonqe apologies if I sounded accusatory with my link - thanks for the info. Most posts that mention 128gb images are downloaded etc. Cheers

@mitu Thanks! You saved me a trip down to "where do I begin to investigate" lane ;)
It's the behaviour I was expecting and hoping for.

@mviars Yeah, I am using SCUMMVM and getting back in to Riven after transferring my 5 CDs that dug out of an old box. It works great. Fullscreen is working fine but it does leave black borders on the left and right sides which I expected.

I am using defaults for video and render, but messing with some of the scale settings yields interesting results for games like DOTT and Full Throttle. Some settings slow down the interface. I am basically using default and OpenGL.

This works great with my 8bitDo bluetooth controllers too. Analog stick moves the cursor. Myst/Riven is pretty fun on the big screen and comfy chair!

@mitu I would you give +5 for this if I could!

@baviaannl said in Lost Gamelist.xml file on PSX:

That file you requested is too big for pastebin, its roughly 6mb in size, is there any information in particular you'd like me to pull off of the file?

I don't know, can you spot any obvious errors related to your gamelist ?

Anyone that can help?
