This is probably due to the .gdi being modified. If modified it creates a different md5 the what the scrapper is looking for. You could just use the ES scrapper and manually enter the name to bring it up but SS will always use and look for the TRUE md5 hash.

@caver01 Totally agree. I was only joking about you "banging" on about it! It is a solid MAME for those "difficult to configure" games. I really appreciate the direction.

@simonster said in where to put hi-res 64 packets:

I also added the following section to the mupen64plus.cfg file so I could use them with the Rice decoder (as for some reason mine keeps setting the Glide option back to False on every startup).

I've been having this same problem since about January. @administrators is this a problem we need to open with mupen or is this the retropie side?

ElwoodJD, I had the exact same problem and I also have an old Westinghouse TV. I just wanted to add more details to the fix for whoever has this same problem. I am using RetroPie 4.1, I had to go into the RetroPie menu, select File Manager, select /.. twice to get to the root, the select /boot. Select the *config.txt file and press F4 on the keyboard to edit it. Add the following 2 lines to the file hdmi_group=1 and hdmi_mode=4. Press crtl-O to write the file and crtl-X to exit the editor. Hopefully this will help anyone else who experiences the same or similar problem.

Thanks all much appreciated

alright, that did the trick. thank you sselph, i appreciate your help.

There is a command line flag but it isn't exposed in the RetroPie-setup script -mame_img and -console_img These accept an ordered list of image preferences which RetroPie-setup sets to -mame_img="t,m,s" and -console_img="b" So the order is Title, Marquee, Snap for mame. You can exit EmulationStation and run this from the command line with something like this but cd to the rom folder you want to scrape.

cd ~/RetroPie/roms/mame /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -mame -mame_img="s,t,m"

More detail about all the flags is at

/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -h

@fsd2s if you want to change it to something different just do this, when you boot a game press f7 i believe after the game starts. Then every key you press gives you a key code. Just change it to another key using its key code.

Lol....so I probably can't ask for gambling games. So any Cherry Master games available?

@brettsalyer it looks like you have everything running!?! Do you mind sharing with us if you found the issue? Or did just reinstalling the roms to the USB card fix the problem? Thanks

@edmaul69 same here. Android phone, firefox on linux and firefox on windows 7.

edit: noticed this problem only on mobiles or on desktops when the browser window isn't maximized. In the image below you can see I have unread topics on the left, but there's no number indicating how many of them.

@herb_fargus yeah i have been collecting a list of games to start buying. I like the thought of being able to use my disc drives on my pi. Otherwise i have two dvd drives doing nothing. I only have 3 games at the moment i can use. Two for dos and one for windows 3.1. Need more games. :) unfortunately the ultimate doom trilogy disk does not work in dos so i have to buy those games all seperate. I have some games on floppy i have installed but i want to buy the cd versions so i can use the discs. Sounds crazy i know, but when i do a post of my modded pi in the next couple week (waiting on post from china) you will understand why. I need to find some mac os games on cd that dont require a power pc. (Riven wont run because of it.)

@bifelix89
Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Asking for help without even trying to look this up or understanding what this means, results in more work for others, even if some awesome members already put work into a clear explanation, is bad (I guess)... Looking your "problem" up in the docuentations/wikis/github pages (or even on google) would have given you the right answer...

However:
This isn't an error... It just means that the scraper could not found the name of the rom (or in this case the hash of it) in the metadata/image database! This basicly means that there is no metadata/image for this game.
You might be able to "solve" this by using another database

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the quick reply about nobody getting badlands working. That sucks because I like that game.
