@iandaemon said in How to Filter Out Adult Games?:

@alphabetapie I think you can remove the "button hints" or whatever they're called at the bottom of the screen.

According to mitu in this thread, adding/deleting favorites is disabled by design in KIOSK mode: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29960/problem-adding-favorites/3?_=1615605880384

That would be super helpful, but mine does not seem to act that way. I set it to kiosk mode and then on any game I hit the Y button on, it will still say "Adding/Removing From Favorites." Then if I filter by favorites in Kiosk, only those will show up. I would like this disabled completely if possible. I'm running the version of Retropie from the 4.7.1 image, EmulationStation version 2.9.6RP.

Can @mitu chime in on if I need to set something a certain way, or turn something off (or anyone that might know what the issue is getting these favorites to read-only)?

@mitu I'm hoping to find a video or specific example of the steps to saving the state in say, Pepper II (or any game with a decently long POST) and then the settings to auto-load that post-POST save state each time the game launches.

I THINK I may have gotten the Retroarch settings correct, but don't see anything that says something like, "On load, use this save state for this game/core".

@barbudreadmon Looking into this now.

I now am using an HDMI to RGB (with L/R audio) component video converter - looks very good.

@soren42
Not sure if you managed to sort this, but I have just managed to transfer save files from OpenEmu to Retropie successfully.

You can only transfer battery saves though (.sav) which means only games which allow you to save in game.

You cannot transfer OpenEmu save states (.oesavestate) as far as I can tell.

To transfer battery saves, copy and paste the .sav file into your retropie ROM folder, ensure the name is the same as the ROM, then change the file to .srm (literally just type it).

Example:

OpenEmu battery save: Earthbound.sav
Retropie battery save: Eathbound.srm

Once you’ve done that, restart emulation station, load your rom, and your save game will automatically be there.

Appreciate this is an old post, but I’ve just spent the last 2 days trying to figure this out and just managed it by trial and error.

Enjoy.

@mitu Okay... Now if only it actually worked then I'd be keeping it. I LOVED the images created from the Tronky theme, but it it can't easily and intuitively load the actual menu underneath it then it can't hang around for now.

@drdave79 saving the game option file should work.

Retroarch main menu-> Quick menu-> options-> create game options file

You may have to start a different rom after and change the default setting back though.

So start rom, change setting, save game option file, close Retroarch. Next, play regular game, change setting back, then just exit Retroarch.

Or....

You can also save the game option file then just manually edit the cfgs over network. The default core options are saved to Configs-> all-> retroarch-core-options.cfg

Then just edit the opt file you created Configs-> all-> retroarch-> config -> mame2003 directory-> game.opt

OK I managed to find a 1.0.0 FB Neo romset, updated FB Neo from source in retropie. As you said my romset is not 100% exact match with the current DAT from github but a lot of the missing or incorrect roms are Hacks, or homebrews etc. I don't really care about them. Works very well for now :)

@mitu said in Pi4 - How can safe remove USB Pendrive ??:

You can exit EmulationStation and then, from the command line, run

sudo umount /media/usb0

If your USB drive is mounted on another folder than /media/usb0, substitute /media/usb0 with the proper folder name.

It's apparently the best solution... what i have do:
F4 to exit from ES.
mount (to found corrent usb)
used sudo umount
copyed all my news roms from pc and now also the image snap and some gamelist.xml from my personal system
type exit from console to restart es and....

all now works whitout any issue.

Thanks for all.

@sirhenrythe5th my guess is it's a MESS chd for the DOS or FM Towns version of Alone in the dark.
Or he's trying to run a PSX chd directly through mame.

@mitu , I have a system set up with 4 controllers on my pi400 and would like to use the keyboard to search for the game that I would like to play, from the ALL GAMES list. Is there a way to do this ? I do not want to use the keyboard as a controller, only as a way to input for game selection. Thank you!!

However: i had no fun with DC on a Pi3(B).
A Pi4 should be highly recommended for this system.
Code Veronica is no CE Game and will work great. On a Pi4 :)

@mitu Thanks I was pressing the wrong save lol

@dankcushions Thanks, but I was curious what people are choosing for different packages and why. Like, I update lr-mesen from source, because of X.

@hellstarpower said in Raspberry Py intelligence for a beginner:

@mitu So basically it's better that I stay on computer here I understand correctly,

I'm saying that a computer can do what a Raspberry Pi could do and it's more powerful. It's your choice if you want to get a Raspberry Pi - for lower power usage, small size, etc - or use a PC. Just to clear out that playing old/retro games can be done on a PC also.

what are the solutions for computers please?

Search for emulators on each system - basically the same emulators that RetroPie uses are available on a PC.
