@atablettal said in how to scrape my games in 2020:

Hi I'm using the built in scarper and it's connected to the internet

It's scraper, not scarper.
You haven't added any info about your system - older version of EmulationStation might have problem scraping because the source of the scraping (online sites) have changes the way they work. With any recent version of EmulationStation, that would not be a problem.

The naming depends on the device-tree settings, doesn't affect the actual capability of the GPU. Running the same command on a recent Raspbian OS yields

Graphics: Device-1: bcm2711-vc5 driver: vc4_drm v: N/A bus ID: N/A chip ID: brcm:gpu

RetroPie doesn't support Manjaro OS on the Pi, btw.

@w0nderw0rm You can map the dpad to the left joystick in retroarch options. Also if you use LR-MAME2003, there is an option in that emulator to map the face buttons to the right joystick for games like Smash TV and Total carnage. I think it's on by defualt.

@mitu Just did final test. It all worked out perfectly. Cache has been moved to the external drive using the path to retropie-mount. The only thing that was weird was after nano-ing into the config.ini, I got the same error message, even after the MicroSD was cleared of the cache. It was just a black screen with the error message at the bottom. However, after hitting ctrl + r to give a command to read a file, I just typed in config.ini into the prompt, and then the file decided to open and let me edit it. Aside from small bump, everything worked out perfectly.

@ScoobyAA Happy things are working well for you and that I helped.

renamed it and it still works
I don't know what the problem was but renaming it seemed to make it work

So I just wiped InputAutoConfig.ini and started again.

When it's this:

; Keyboard_START [Keyboard] plugged = True plugin = 2 mouse = False DPad R = key(100) DPad L = key(97) DPad D = key(115) DPad U = key(119) Start = key(13) Z Trig = key(122) B Button = key(306) A Button = key(304) C Button R = key(108) C Button L = key(106) C Button D = key(107) C Button U = key(105) R Trig = key(99) L Trig = key(120) Mempak switch = key(44) Rumblepak switch = key(46) X Axis = key(276,275) Y Axis = key(273,274) ; Keyboard_END

the game works perfectly, but keyboard only - WASD and cursors and a few others.

When I add this:

; usb gamepad _START [usb gamepad ] plugged = True Start = button(6) A Button = button(1) B Button = button(2) X Axis = "hat(0 Left Right)" Y Axis = "hat(0 Up Down)" ; usb gamepad _END

the keyboard stops working and the Start, A and B buttons all map to the proper buttons on the arcade joystick, (and button 5 quits back to EmulationStation) but the stick itself does absolutely nothing.

Those X and Y axis lines are taken from some semi-gibberish here:

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/

where it says *"Note for configuring Arcade Joystick or non analogue controller to use N64 correctly.
Changing the below inside /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini

From X Axis = "hat(0 Left, 0 Right)" Y Axis = "hat(0 Up, 0 Down)"

To X Axis = "hat(0 Left Right)" Y Axis = "hat(0 Up Down)""*

But none of those lines, with or without quote marks, make the joystick do anything at all.

If I change it to:

; usb gamepad _START [usb gamepad ] plugged = True Start = button(6) A Button = button(1) B Button = button(2) DPad D = hat(0 Down) DPad U = hat(0 Up) DPad L = hat(0 Left) DPad R = hat(0 Right) ; usb gamepad _END

nothing changes. The stick still does nothing, whether I put quotes round the hat commands or not.

What in blazes do I need to do to make the dumb emulator recognise the stick?

@usrstu Please can you post a verbose log. How did you update btw? Make sure you update RetroPie-Setup if you installed from source.

@Krakatoa said in CUSTOM COLLECTION BUG OR WHAT?:

What are you using to edit the cfg files? I'm using notepad+ and haven't had any issues updating custom collections.

I CONFIRM...thankyou very much...
incredible but with notepad++ , the cfg file edit , now work fine!

I spend hours to try a solution...i was sure, the little notepad of windows was not the problem. crazy...

Hope that can help another guys...
thanks again Krakatoa!!

@mitu good point. So one can use rotation of 90 or 270 degrees BUT the width and height is not exchanged on my proposed setup. Thus my hint only works flawless for 180 degree screen rotate installations.

Have you tried the other HDMI port? That happened with me.

One game I cannot get to work even with flycast is Hydro Thunder. I get a black screen after the Dreamcast logo.

probably a question to better ask at the KODI forums. https://forum.kodi.tv/

Could someone explain to me why amiberry is seen as more plug and play compared to puae, and is the recommended emulator here? Everything I've thrown at puae (lha and hdf) seems to work, I get access to the lovely CRT shaders, and I'm probably going to have to mess about with config on a per game basis for either anyway? Amiberry seems way more of a pain in the arse on several levels, to me - and that's not even considering the strange resolution switching issue I'm getting.
I'm considering just binning it off and going with puae; am I going to regret that for some reason I've yet to experience?

Can you provide some more details here for the SN30 and how you paired it. I think I am getting lost. I currently have it in switch mode, and all buttons except a few are working right now. I will try pairing it another way to see where I get.
