@sirhenrythe5th said in Totally confused with MAME:

I also prefer FB-Neo for NeoGeo

NeoGeo is one of the few systems where FBNeo has an edge even against current MAME (let alone a 17 years old version of MAME), so yeah, i recommend it.

Thank you, but when the second controller is plugged in P1 cannot hotkey out. Both controllers have to be pulled and P1 reinserted to quit. Any ideas?

So i get there is no way for Emulationstation to look into subfolders? I have to convert my whole collection or edit their cues? (not possible to edit them this way, too many files)

I do use Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher/Launchbox already and EmulationStation seem lo lack very basic functions like choosing a simple path for your media files and now this. I managed to find a dirty solution for for the paths but i can't seem to find something for the subfolders. Scrappers don't seem to have anything about them either so that means there's nothing i can do to the gamelist.xml. I really don't want to convert the games because i use a lot of emulators for testing, etc, and not everything is going to be compatible afterwards.

@BuZz : I saw this menu, but it provides me only with the choices "bookmark" and "share".

In fact the first post is not editable, but other ones are editable (I just edited this one)

ha, i just figured it out - in the Disk Control option in the retroarch menu (select+x), if i select Disk Cycle Tray Status it ejects the current disk, then i select Disk Image Append and i can select the .d64 file for the next disk! it appears the .m3u functionality isn't needed (or doesn't work anyway).

@fordpickup said in Sound Error and Final Fanstasy Origins Failure (PSX):

(It didn't solve the weird sound error notification, but hey if it works it works!)

I think that sound/alsa error comes from EmulationStation, not fro the emulator. Use the EmulationStation menu and play with the Sound settings - Audio Card/Device are the ones that produce this error. Most likely you can change the Audio Card from Default to something else and the error will go away.

Those are two good ideas. The .sh is just for the script that starts dos box, but yeah, using .conf would provide for more configurability for each game... I'll have to do that when I have time to do that for 230+ games, lol.

@Jobine he has for sure! Gauntlet 1+2 are running very fine since decades now if you have the right romset.
I answer this because i doubt that you will get an answer from the author after 3 years 😉

On further investigation a number of CD32 game have this issue, sometimes requiring port 1 and sometimes port 0. Individual settings files looks like the solution.

Generally CD32 games like a CD32 pad in port 1. The following games are exceptions:

Fire + Ice CD32. Needs a joystick (not a pad) in port 1.
Seek and Destroy CD32. Needs a CD32 pad in port 0.

If your Gpi is a newer model, the select button was changed to the start button, so select+DPAD LEFT becomes start+DPAD LEFT.

@Tim-s-up Usually it's the TAB key.

@mitu ok, thank you!

@vasquez109 said in Help i've broken it!!:

Any advice to make my machine go back to the good old days?

Thanks @mitu. It works now for the custom lists.

About the joystick selection tool permission issue, I'm waiting for a new Xinmo interface shipment before pushing further. Once I have it I will try again. I have a 4 player board on my arcade. I would need longer GPIO cables to follow my initial plan to connect player 3 and 4 on one Xinmo, but those cables come from China and seem to be out of stock due to the disruption of global value chains.

I hope that the Joystick selection tool will allow to connect P1 and P3 on one Xinmo, P2 and P4 on the other (considering cable length), then reallocating the players with the tool. If I can make it work.

@mitu awesome, that did the trick! I now have RetroPie, SteamLink, and Linux desktop all running on Raspberry Pi :)

@retropieuser555 the long and short of it is that framebuffer emulation is required for many games to function properly. There is a performance hit for having it on, but the alternative is that you'll have issues such as yours.
