This guy here had the same problem and he found a way of making it work.
Apparently the way to go is to configure retroarch to use a standard keyboard then swapping the real keyboard to the ipac.

Thanks for the follow up. However, I'm slightly confused by what you're saying here. It should probably be noted, I'm on a desktop making all this work at present, not a RetroPie (will set that up later, once design stuff is done). So I'm using SkraperUI_Beta8 to do my art scraping on my desktop. It scrapes my collection fresh and assigns the folder/meta data as needed. The problem seems not from the XML, but how the theme handles the labels? Does that make sense?

@nielogiczny Makes sense! I had to do that with the 8-bitdo SNES Bluetooth controller. The setup script had it as an option. Before that, only one or 2 of the key presses would do anything, and it registered as a keyboard when it did.

Glad you got it working!

@cyperghost I am curious what line you read in the OP's text that leads you to believe that. He said '40GB of custom games/settings', but I think he means that he has put a lot of work into his current setup and wants to fix it without starting all over again.

@herb_fargus thank you for the link! I downloaded another game package and attempting to unzip on my Mac but the files are always “invalid, incomplete, or corrupted”. I found another program that says it’ll be able to retrieve the .rar files correctly. Fingers crossed!

@shavecat as far as i know. why not try? :)

I put an exit game button on Gpio in my atari console build by simply installing Adafruit’s retrogame application on my Pi, which makes the gpio able to take keyboard inputs, then I just set one of the pins to activate the escape key.

@meleu The video isn't anymore on youtube, unfortunately :c ...

@Caltaron
Having the same issue in
retropie 4.4
model 3b+
Canna kit supplied power supply
image prebuilt from retropie website
Updated retropie setup script then updated eduke32 from binary then from source since binary upgrade didnt fix the issue.

Im using retropie on a raspberry pi

@Clyde nope, not buying it, sorry.

@mitu said in Adding Cart Support in EmulationStation?:

@AlphaBetaPie as far as themeing is concerned, images can be displayed through md_marquee or md_image tags. So pick one of them to display the image you want in a theme.

Thanks for the follow- up. So here is the thing. I'm using the video view of a theme, which displays my game clip and a cover image. If I look in the bracket for that section of the XML, I see videos are using the **me_video **and the covers are using md_image to pull whatever content is in the "box2dfront" and "videos" folders in my ROM directory. I do have a third section, which is for the marquee (which is supported in this theme). It uses the **md_marquee **to pull the content from the "screenmarquee" folder.

So is there a way to reassign the cart scans to a different folder by changing or creating a new label? If I want to release this update, folks will have delete their marquees (if they even have that folder setup), then copy/paste their cart scans and put them in the marquee folder to make it (which is what I did just as a quick fix). That might be confusing to some. Would be cleaner if there was a cart folder with some kind of label like md_carts or something like that. Or does ES only support so many labels per view, and I've simply run out?

Thanks!

@aloius we don't support 3rd party images, as outlined in the ReadMe first page. Please use rhe official Retropie image and we can offer support, otherwise contact Nachos and ask for help.

@SpudsMcToole
didnot work for me

You’re right, it’s a custom image.
I downgraded the firmware to 1.2019401-1 via rasbiantools in retropie_packages. Now everything works fine. I suppose this is some bug in the vc in newer firmware.

Apologies for resurrecting this old topic, but I tried to follow those instructions to get Ms Pac-Man to run and the Pi refused to let me copy the files over.

Permission settings on the whole JZINTV folder are already 0755. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
