@meleu said in Favorites will only save if shutdown by menu option and not via GPIO Shutdown Script:

Hello guys! I would like to suggest the solution I proposed here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12895/ensuring-es-gracefully-finish-and-save-metadata-in-every-system-shutdown

Let me know if you guys find some problem.

Cheers!

Thanks for this - I'll give it a 'bash' later :-)

Hi Edmaul69

I tired test yellow, red and white by two cables but it still don't work, There website you can see which cable I using.

It don't work, I think maybe code error.

Im putting the gpio issue on hold for the moment as for some reason my adapter magically started working correctly. I plan to revisit it someday as it would reduce costs if I built one of these for someone else but for now its on hold. However my arduino came today and should make for some fun here soon.

@livefastcyyoung Just tried that one as well. Was greeted to an intro of Wario picking his nose on a couch. It worked though lol.

@8ad1nfluence It should. But im not so sure how you would get sound out because you are already using the Pi 3's rca port to get video using composite.

Maby the device you linked to in conjunction with RetroTINK-S.

@xtoddh which emulator? Try both the supergrafx and pce emulators. I agree with @jonnykesh it is most likely bad roms.

@futurity Just bear in mind it is built on Raspbian Jessie. RetroPie will not run on Stretch or you will get failed / missing dependencies.

@piuser1234

However, for Zelda in nes, I can control the game just fine and do everything normally, except quit. I can't get out of it without pulling the plug.

when you did https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#configure-controllers, what did you configure as 'start' and what did you configure as 'hotkey'? to quit it's hotkey + start.

the link is quite clear on this.

the emulators in retropie (at least, the ones available for pi3) use a fraction of the default GPU memory, so raising the split does nothing but take more ram away from the system, where it IS needed (for compilations, etc).

I'd unfortunately second @Capeman 's suggestion. Enter the favorites list, and just press Y until they're gone. There's no way to clear it in a single step.

If you scrape those games again though it might clear the favorites flag, depending on the scraper you're using and whether it overwrites existing metadata. That's also an option.

Why exactly are you trying to clear them, though, just out of curiosity? Removing and adding them back won't get you any metadata for those games. You need to scrape them. Probably they weren't scraped as setting then as favorites added them to the gamelists, and the scraper might skip games that already have entries there?

Screech thanks for the info!!!!

Although not the correct way, I did figure out how to get the best of both worlds. After generating the gamelist.xml using UXS, I edited the file and removed all the <name> tags. The result - I have the original names that I'm used to AND I have snaps/descriptions for all the games (mame)

Allright! I got the MSU-1 mods working! They work great!

@darksavior There's more than one Z:LttP MSU-1 mod out there.
Try this one: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2234/
It seems to work fine for me, with no overclocking.

@da_kicks_87 Who knows what could have caused it. If it were me, I would reformat the SD card and then flash the backup image to the card. If you still have issues, you may possibly have a faulty SD card.

@eliteanorak Good luck!

@hurricanefan Here's hoping!

@edmaul69 The only D-Pads i always enjoyed using is the playstation and SNES other one's i have tried feels odd to me and some has it like thin looking which for someone like myself that has large hands have a hard time with fighting games.

@fnkngrv there is no source code available, and the developer only released binaries compiled for the pi, so unless he openources the code or builds binaries for the xu4 then you're out of luck
