@flightrisk said in Can I just add Motion blue 6 to my existing setup or visa versa rather than start over?:

In particular things like automating applying bezels

2 tools can do that:

the one by meleu: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9686/rpie-art-easy-way-to-install-art-on-your-retropie my own: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17255/fast-and-cross-platform-retropie-arcade-roms-manager-gui

I just happen to have included the latest MotionBlue image overlays in my repositories.

having collections of all versions of a rom on a menu (like Donkey Kong on all the platforms) seem like great features.

You just need a theme that supports custom collections, and create these yourself.
It's just impossible to do that automatically across systems: in arcade it would theorically be possible since there are standard names, but not for the other systems. You can name your Donkey Kong NES rom "Young Mario vs Big Gorilla" if you want, how can the system know it's Donkey Kong ?

I had the same problem, but with my controls being turned 90° in th setup screens. Seems like those screens don't care about ES' controller configuration, but that can be easily fixed by connecting the joystick's microswitches in the "right" order on the encoder – if you're not using its single Sanwa port, that is.

@ectoone Yep, i figured i'd have to adjust the paths. I'll give your suggestion a whirl, thanks!

Tested: on Raspberry Pi 3 with RetroPie 4.3 and RetroPie 4.4 - works
Tested: on Raspbian STRECH 4.9 kernel (March 2018) - works

This is working flawless now!

@challenger2010 yeah png and jpg should work

@sonpluck

Not a problem.

For I am about to become Tex Murphy, and I have crimes to solve. :-)

God's speed Tex Murphy. They don't pay you boys enough.

Roms are all working on my PC.
I realize it was just a issue during the transfert of the rom to my raspberry, now it should work.... but actually my raspberry pi seems not to respond to my SD card.
I tried to reboot on the new retropie IMG, and nothing. Green led blink twice, then nothing.... when I try the same SD card on another pi It's working.

If you have any advice for this issue, that would be great.
You already helped me a lot. Thank you.

Its a mess...
after trying numours installations i cant fix it. The issue is too annoying too look over. Im done.

@mediamogul No, the joysticks have digital microswitches. I noticed an error in my reasoning: The buttons have nothing to do with the problems, as their ports are generating type 1 events. Only the joystick ports on the decoder board (four for each joystick, one per microswitch) generate type 2 events.

That said, the joysticks' microswitches are connected to the ports for axis number 0+1, whereas the ghost inputs only come from axis number 2, which nothing is connected to.

I tried to set the dead zones of axis 2 on both joysticks to its whole range of -32767 to 32767, hoping that would lead to the driver ignoring them alltogether. After that, jstest doesn't show any input from them anymore, but the screensaver still recognizes some input in irregular intervals and quits back to ES.

$ jscal -s 7,1,0,127,127,4227201,4194176,1,0,127,127,4227201,4194176,1,10,-32767,32767,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,127,127,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,127,127,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,0,0,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,0,0,2147483647,2147483647 /dev/input/js0 $ jscal -s 7,1,0,127,127,4227201,4194176,1,0,127,127,4227201,4194176,1,10,-32767,32767,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,127,127,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,127,127,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,0,0,2147483647,2147483647,1,0,0,0,2147483647,2147483647 /dev/input/js1

The part for axis 2 is 1,10,-32767,32767,2147483647,2147483647, see jscal's manpage for more information.

I got this idea after some research, from these two sites:

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1079284 (a similar problem to mine) https://blog.gimx.fr/joystick-calibration-in-gnulinux/ (it explains the working of jscal -s in some more detail)

Your log wasnt from RetroPie-Setup 4.3.17 btw but just 4.3 which is some months old.

@sano I have both checkbox enabled in the "Watch" section and all the dropdown set to "notification only" but I still miss many notifications since 2 days.

What's going on ? It's really inconsistent, sometimes I get the notifications, sometimes I don't and have no idea why.

@mitu Yes of course the docs overrule tutorials, but obviously there's a place in the universe for tutorials, especially for beginners. (And in doubt, I asked in the forums!)

Thanks guys you've all been great,

-Actually since I'm a developer I might come back to be a contributor later.

Thanks agian

Hello @jrassa
I think I've found whats missing,
int the 2015 version of emulationstation from Aloshi where the slashes where fixed (unstable branch), you can see that he uses an extra function called make_preferred() on the ROM_RAW string

https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/blob/unstable/es-app/src/SystemData.cpp
const std::string rom_raw = fs::path(game.getPath()).make_preferred().string();

He also uses this funcion on a windows ifdef on the same file
#ifdef WIN32
// windows escapes stuff by just putting everything in quotes
return '"' + fs::path(path).make_preferred().string() + '"';
#else

The function make_preferred() from Boost is the one that fixes the slashes
https://theboostcpplibraries.com/boost.filesystem-paths

Thanks in advance
Best regards

Which games don't work in lr-MAME2003?

All the broken Midway classics were the main reason I switched up myself. Although, I believe that situation may be remedied soon.

@rbaker Thank you good sir!
