@mitu Nope, I'm using the dev build on my Pi as well. And the other two setups on my PC, which worked, used the same build. I assume it has something to do with my es_systems.cfg and/or the way I've set up the dummy files. Maybe I see if I can rework the setup but like I said, I currently don't care.

@moonston333 As far as I know the custom collections don't even exist in the original Emulationstation. Use the RetroPie version which has this feature added.

@RetroFreak89 One way to make sure that the extra space really doesn't contain any data is to shrink the second partition on the original sd card by 1 GB. But since this partition contains a Linux file system, you need a Linux partitioner like GParted for that (or a Windows partitioner that can shrink Linux partitions with the file system ext4 on them, if such a tool exists).

If you're not using Linux anyway, you could use the GParted Live image that boots from a CD or a USB medium into a graphical Linux system with GParted pre-installed.

After shrinking the second partition on your card, you would make a new image that has guaranteed no data in its last 1 GB and should be safe to write to your new card. After confirming that the new card works and has all the data on it, you could then grow its second partition with GParted to the maximum size of the new card.

You should also give the Amstrad CPC, a go. Great games, and when programmed properly they were often very colourful games that looked best across all the 8-bit computers. I got the Pi Amstrad emulator working, and it looks and runs great. Again, I own the real thing, but I can't use the same TV as the Pi, since the Amstrad came with it's own 14" monitor. So a comparison isn't apples to apples. But it's close.

That Micro Men docu, was good. But, like you said, a few liberties were taken when it came to Sir Clive. I believe he was portrayed a bit too nicely, probably for TV. Some people from that era have said he has often a bit of a bastard, and wanted things completed yesterday.

Thank you Clyde. If I had a second micro sd with this size, I would do more experimentation.

@Clyde said in [solved] Stops booting after small changes on gamelist, even if i revert:

That said, I do not understand you completely. Do you say that eject in Nautilus does work now, but didn't back then?

Yes, but on the other hand, I did not test this with adding files. So the eject works, because there is nothing written (maybe).

My best guess is that something prevented a clean ejection of the card's file system and that Retropie had to do an fsck one or two times and repair the unclean file system of the card.

I don't know whats going on here, but this is my guess too.

There is no 'SNES RGUI', the RGUI is the same for all libretro cores. Please read the page about the RetroArch configuration and how it works. You can configure your RetroPad (virtual RetroArch gamepad) per core as you wish, without influencing how RGUI interprets the buttons used to operate it (A/B/L/R).

i opened a topic of the scraper that wasnt working at all (thanks for the help :) ) as i "succeded" or at least partially to make it work i though it would be something for another topic, no?

@eddie72 said in Cannot get my zero delay controls to work on my newly built bartop HELP!!!!:

My raspberry does not do this
It takes me straight to the emulators and retroarch screen

This sounds like you are not booting into a clean image from this site? How did you write the image? What is the name of the image?

the joystick and buttons are all connected to the circuit board and then into the pie via the Ian connection

LAN connection???

@notthesame having a saturn "2d games emulator" running on pi3 is still totally unrealistic. Usage of gles3 is actually there to help with speed so you would end up with only the sh2 improvements over the old yabause, which means an emulator running at 10 fps instead of 5 fps. Don't bother people with pointless things, thanks.

On a sidenote, kronos is now available as an alternative saturn libretro core. It still requires a somehow decent computer (i think a dual 2.8ghz cpu with a gles3/gl3.3 compatible gpu would be able to run this pretty well)

@mitu - Sorry for the delayed response...RL gets me busy :(

I think this weekend I will give it a try just to see how ES reacts, but overall no worries, I'll just get a matching pair :)

I am just trying to be cheap and use old and odd things I've got laying around

@edmaul69 - As you know I am always on the hunt for bargains :)

@JToivonen got what you mean and here is the "un modified" solution...simply if you're playing plug the usb controller and when you finish just unplug it and it will shutdown automatically!, even when a power trigger happens "electricity went off then come back again" and found that your gamepad isn't connected it will shut down :)
here is the python file you just need to edit the line that kills qjoypad to kill whole system add poweroff or shutdown -h as you use in your momentry switch
don't forget to make the file run at start and special thanks to pablo

idea behind the script is that system creates a js0 file for controller 1 inputs and js1 for controller 2 when connected and so on, the script searches for that file if it's found that mean you've connected the gamepad and probably playing a game and when you finish unplugging the gamepad removes js0 file and when the script discovers the file is not found it kills an app process called qjoypad which you'll change to shutdown

please note you're not gonna use //User Variables section in this code so just ignore it.

@Clyde yeah it worked without the remove command. ty :)

Thankyou sir!

@DingoSlayer44 did you ever find a solution to this? I have exactly the same issue.

@mitu
Replaced with the branch you mentioned, new setup kind of messed up my pad profile. Was scared first but works nicely after deleting es_input.cfg :) Scrap also now works as intended. Didn't work in vanilla version.
Thank you very much again, you saved me tons of hard work, cleanup scripts, etc... that emulationstation website should mention clearly it's abandoned state + links to updated forks... I guess a lot of people get scraping issues.

@UDb23 Yes, this way if you use the scrape all option within the ES scraper it will skip it automatically. This is the boxart available on thegamesdb.net site.
