i have decide to buy a FLIRC device :D

@sik i thought this was just me. The only emulator it works in is n64 for some reason

Sselph's graphical menu from the RetroPie-Setup options is fairly limited - it's the command line where it really comes into its own.

In essence, quit ES by pressing F4 (scraping whilst ES is running usually doesn't work very well). cd to the roms directory and then into your console of choice and then run the following:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -add_not_found -download_images -download_marquees -download_videos -console_src ss,gdb -console_img mix4,3b,b,s,f,l -image_dir=boxart -image_path=boxart -img_format png -video_dir=snap -video_path=snap -marquee_dir=wheel -marquee_path=wheel -marquee_format png -image_suffix="" -video_suffix="" -marquee_suffix="" -missing "games_missing.csv"

Please note, I've been separating out video snaps and marquees in prep for an Attract Mode build so you may want to adjust accordingly. To break the command down, it's scraping a mixed mode image from screenscraper and putting into a 'boxart' folder within the console's rom folder (-console_img mix4,3b,b,s,f,l means it looks for a mixed image first, then 3d box art, then boxart, then screenshot etc). It's then doing the same for video snaps and marquee images and all images will be output as png. I've also set it to output any missing titles into a csv for reference. If you didn't want videos, you could just remove the -download_videos flag.

If you are a Windows user you can run this directly on your roms folders via DOS if you download the DOS version of Sselph scraper.

Hope that helps.

@ortsac no idea really. There is no physical damage to the slot or board. It powers up just fine, just can't get the green light to appear. I've inspected the slot pins as best I could and they seem to be in place. I'm gonna try and bend the pins up some more to see if spacing is an issue.

@mitu Installing the dependancies listed on the link you provided seems to gave done the trick. Thanks so much!

For those who are curious, I ran the following command as suggested by the Dolphin installation page (cut and pasted here for your convenience).

sudo apt install cmake pkg-config git libao-dev libasound2-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libbluetooth-dev libenet-dev libgtk2.0-dev liblzo2-dev libminiupnpc-dev libopenal-dev libpulse-dev libreadline-dev libsfml-dev libsoil-dev libsoundtouch-dev libswscale-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libwxbase3.0-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev libxext-dev libxrandr-dev portaudio19-dev zlib1g-dev libudev-dev libevdev-dev "libpolarssl-dev|libmbedtls-dev" libcurl4-openssl-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libpng-dev qtbase5-private-dev

Grim fandango is fine but very dark image for me...

anyone?

@djolivo24 What have you tried? How have you "shutdown"? What card are you using? Do you know it's genuine? How are you writing the image? Please do the things listed here:

I am very cautious as to go through the Configure pads because I struggled to have both my 360pad and my Arcade Stick working. Is there a place I can poke/text edit the Y as Favorites button?

Thanx!

retropie is a script that installs a bunch of emulators and supporting software to the machine it's running on. it can't support multiple users in a meaningful way.

you could do something like this: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-Network-Share/

Also one more thing that the new version added. A guy named decle had made a studio ii emulator for the intellivision. The game roms each have the emulator inside them with the game rom. What was added in jzintv is the -G2 flag that you can put in the emulators.cfg to give the intellivision more gram which allows those games to run in full screen instead of a windowed screen. The games are called studiovision ii.

So I am nearly done with the NES GoodSET integration and re-testing (on the XBox). I still have to test everything on the Pi, but I'm assuming anything that works on a 10+ year old emulator won't have any problems on the Pi.

I've been running the sets now against the latest No-Intro dat and so far all of the official releases are a 100% match there with the GoodNES 3.23b set, which is great news. Anybody who wanted to get a huge head start on hacks, translations and some more obscure games would want to get the GoodNES set, but anybody who was only interested in the offical releases would be fine with just the No-Intro stuff.

All of this has been documented on the spreadsheet. It's pretty cool seeing all 3 sets together to compare the different versions. As far as I know there's never been anything out there like this. I've read quite a bit about how GoodSETS are "outdated", but I can say for a fact right now that this is not true, at least for the NES. It might be extremely bloated at around 3GB, but the roms verified as [!] are truly "Good", and are a 100% match to the very latest No-Intro datfile however many years later.

The only real difference is that the No-Intro team completely stripped out the iNES headers from all of the games, so only newer emulators that can play a game without them will work with that set. In order to verify my set against no-intro, I had to download a "P/Clone XML" version of the NES database that has something coded into it to ignore the header when checking the validity of your roms.

More to come. Hopefully somebody will see this spreadsheet when I release it and have an idea about how to create these scripts.
