@g30ff said in Hide Games/Files From List?:

@alphabetapie It depends on what you want to hide. There are a few cases that this might apply to.

For MAME/FinalBurn Neo bios files, store them in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS instead of in the arcade, fbneo, or mame-libretro folders. For multi-disc games (except for Sega CD games), you can store the disc images in a directory outside of their standard ROM directory, and reference them with a .m3u file. For example, with a PS1 game, create a directory one level up from the psx folder called, for example, "psx.multi". Store the multi disc images in that folder. Place your m3u in the "psx" folder, and each line of the file should point to the disc's location. In this case, "../psx.multi/game disc1.cue". For everything else, you can customize es-systems.cfg. Copy the original es-systems.cfg file into /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation so that your changes will persist between updates, and edit the file. Each system will have a list of what file types they support, and by default will show them in both upper and lower case (for example .zip and .ZIP). Simply remove one of those (for example .ZIP), and then rename all files you don't want to show up in emulationstation with that extension. (game.zip becomes game.ZIP). The file will still be in that location, but emulationstation won't read it when building your game list.

Thanks for the info, much above is pretty similar to my current setup. Much appreciated.

@mitu said in Shortcuts For Disc Swapping (Keyboard or Controller):

@alphabetapie I feel like I responded to your question in my previous post.

Somewhat. But the inputs in the config file are not clear that they represent both the keyboard commands (which I don't want), and the controller commands (which I do want). So I had to do some experimenting to sort that out on my own.

But also, in doing that, it seems I found a much simpler way than searching the input_disk_next_btn line in the config file and adding the button command manually. Would it not have been easier to just use this menu and set the button presses here on the controller? It's an option that does exactly what I want. Just hidden in the hotkey menu.

Here is what I mean below (and where some of the confusion comes from I think). At any rate, mission accomplished.

@mitaholo Three years later and still....nothing. So disappointing that you needed help and someone helped you....but once you had the answer you weren't willing to share it with others having the same problem.

@litsince which stock image? We don't support this system currently.

I use .PBP format, which compress the multidisc file. You can swap discs by using emulation station menus :-)

@mitu said in Can You Power-Off in Kids Mode?:

There's an option in EmulationStation to show the shutdown menu in Kids mode. Enable it before turning on Kids mode.

Yup, that's it. Working now. And funny thing is, I did see that menu and tried that before. But I was also editing the config files to try and update some other things for my build at the time, so not sure why it didn't take before (was still locking me out in kid's mode, regardless if I turned the option for the menu off or on). But that does work now. Thanks as always!

@quicksilver thanks a lot for this. Worked a treat on the crackling sounds I was experiencing

@kronos Yes. I don't know if it's completely out of beta for the Pi 4 yet, but the procedure is decribed here. And you'll need some sort of USB->SATA converter of course or simply an external USB HDD/SSD.

Its just working ingame now after removing xbox drivers and some tampering with the PS 3 driver like remove and install again and switching to antherone and back to shanwan.
Not yet tested in Retroarch

@mitu That has been the best thing I have discovered but I thought I better show the issue with standard.

I fiddled with the settings of cool-term and got a wee bit of text

But like seriously what is cooler than RetroPie over SSH looking like an old school IBM or something.

@dteam

That is just what I was thinking tonight.

Cool, we were on the right track ;-)

Well, still we have to learn allot about MAME, we are not finished yet with learning !

TIL that there is an option in lr-desmume which has not yet been ported to lr-desmume2015. Thus there is another option to solve this issue. :)

That worked, thank you!

@mitu found a way to acces the SD card with "Linux Reader" actualy copying fies and it takes ages but better than nothing.

@toigo Solution to this problem is at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29481/controls-randomly-locked-for-1-or-2-secs/11 (switching to HDMI audio in raspi-config).

Holy crap. Never mind... I.... yeah... that .... that was stupid. It's been a while since I configured the machine and I totally forgot that it wasn't retroarch's settings but MAME's settings I had to change.

I'll go hide under a rock now. Kthx
