@mitu Thanks! That was the bit I needed to change. I replaced "standard" with "dualshock" and now analog controls work :)

@silver Thanks for sharing the solution.

@m2306 - I was thinking about this over the weekend and there might be another way but requires a bit more work. I don't think it would be to much really and only initially. If you're set and good to go then no worries.

Take CPS games for example. Basically if you had a list of parent ROM names in a text file with one per line like so:

... 1941 avsp ddsom dino sf2 etc.

With a list like this it would be pretty easy to pull parent ROMs only or parent + clones.

The advantage being is you only need to track parent ROMs and not clones as they are automatically linked to the parent.

So basically by listing the 70 or 80 CPS games you could generate new DATs after an update with very little changes after the initial setup.

I don't believe parent ROMs change to often and if they do it would be only a matter of changing the name in the list like sf2 to sfi2 for example. The clones will be automatically linked.

The clones make up a much larger part of the games list by several hundred so it's nice that you only need to track the parent.

I think a lot of filter lists and batch files that copy ROMs are based of specific DATs in time and are outdated with the next release whereas this would allow you to be a bit more dynamic with new releases and generate a current correct ROM set.

You could also stack lists to make a master list. Like combine the CPS and Neo Geo list or CPS, Neo Geo plus favorites, etc.

I'm not sure of that makes sense but I believe it would work fairly well.

@SpudsMcToole I've been using ChampGames' arcade clones to test this, so as a small token of gratitude here are the mockup game boxes I've made for them :)

it worked! thx guys!

@steptoe that is awesome, thanks so much for this!

@mitu Hi thanks for your help , I have worked out what the issue was.
When I put in username and password and deleted the # in front of userCreds I deleted the 'u' and
then changed it to UserCreds.

Linux is case sensitive so it did not like the change.

Put it back to userCreds and working fine

I also put [screenscraper] just above.

thanks
Jimi

@mitu I enter retroarch and from the content folder I search for roms just like any platform. I run the lr-pcsx emulator and the game starts. There was once a case that when I started the game from the retropiece position, the image to the left of the screen completely narrowed me. I could not restore it, but I succeeded ...

@LostnIL Are you using the image from retropie.org.uk/download or a 3rd party image ? RetroPie doesn't come with any overrides, did you save any input overrides from the RetroArch menu (RGUI) ?

Here are some news regarding the subject, it's only for psx for the time being :)

@Clyde, this is a co-workers unit and he couldn't remember all of the details about it but I think that you are correct about it being a non official retropie image. It had a very out-dated version and when I updated everything is where the issue happened. I will talk with him at work Monday, explain what happened and let him know that I will set him up with an official copy.

Thanks to all that offered help with this issue.

@mitu I did that, and it didn't solve anything, I am just going to use mame2010 and fbneo for now.

Nevermind I fixed it

okay i have mode you script a bit
im using ubuntu 19-04 x64
make a folder named splashscreens in $HOME/RetroPie and put all your videos in that folder
put this in you script
chmod 755 you script

this script plays a random video form this folder and load emulation station
the only isuse i have whit this is it show a little splash screen on top of video that emulation station is load-et, but it diapers ;)

#!/bin/bash #hides the menubar and desktop #gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar #starts Retropie gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -- emulationstation & #Plays video in VLC then exits. Replace quoted part with your video's location. vlc --random --play-and-stop --play-and-exit --fullscreen --video-on-top --no-video-title-show "$HOME/RetroPie/splashscreens" exit

@grant2258 Top post explains it a bit more. I can already get the game flipped on a CRT TV. I can't get Emulation Station flipped too. Flipped to work if viewed in a mirror.

Hello.

The same for me.

@m2306 Mame2003plus started to use analog as default for some reason. Change it back to digital in retroarch.

@mitu That is correct. If you have enabled video scraping while gathering the resources with Skyscraper, it will show up if your theme supports it. If you also want to make use of other resources in theme, such as the wheel or boxart by itself, you need to add it to the artwork compositor. This is all documented here.

@muldjord ok. Thank you for a great application!

Thanks very much, I wasn't aware that ES could be rotated so that should solve all my issues.
