Hello everyone! Can you show how your mirroring images looks like on you cocktail table? Can you use it with MAME games at all?

@bowsie I'm built Ubuntu computer with a ssd for the os and 1TB hard drive for Roms.
Did you ever figure out how t o achieve this?

@crazydude2 Wow awesome! So have fun...

@bollwerk mame2010 isn't really recommended, but you could look at the mame2003 docs to show how you would revert to default controls: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/lr-mame2003/#mame-menu

if you hunt around your rom and BIOS directories, you may find the same default.cfg for mame2010. i'm not sure where it will be. if that deleting that doesn't fix the issue, then maybe mame2010 doesn't have good default controls here - a keyboard might work?

@hurricanefan I don't think so, I believe they are just empty files. Retropie uses svm to launch games and recallbox uses scummvm files. The point is, when I tried to scrape them, only the scummvm files where linked to the games.
Oh, forgot to mention that you either have to rename your files to scummvm, scrape, rename them back to svm. Or edit your gamelist.xml afterwards.

@y0da oh. You should also be able to find the option inside the "other settings" menu, isn't that the case?

You can select a different theme that doesn't use overlays as predominantly. What theme are you using?

@jbob101 not yet, but soon! https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/235

@jbob101 should be select+start, or hotkey+start if you changed the hotkey.

@meleu said in Favorites will only save if shutdown by menu option and not via GPIO Shutdown Script:

Hello guys! I would like to suggest the solution I proposed here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12895/ensuring-es-gracefully-finish-and-save-metadata-in-every-system-shutdown

Let me know if you guys find some problem.

Cheers!

Thanks for this - I'll give it a 'bash' later :-)

Hi Edmaul69

I tired test yellow, red and white by two cables but it still don't work, There website you can see which cable I using.

It don't work, I think maybe code error.

Im putting the gpio issue on hold for the moment as for some reason my adapter magically started working correctly. I plan to revisit it someday as it would reduce costs if I built one of these for someone else but for now its on hold. However my arduino came today and should make for some fun here soon.

@livefastcyyoung Just tried that one as well. Was greeted to an intro of Wario picking his nose on a couch. It worked though lol.

@8ad1nfluence It should. But im not so sure how you would get sound out because you are already using the Pi 3's rca port to get video using composite.

Maby the device you linked to in conjunction with RetroTINK-S.

@xtoddh which emulator? Try both the supergrafx and pce emulators. I agree with @jonnykesh it is most likely bad roms.

@futurity Just bear in mind it is built on Raspbian Jessie. RetroPie will not run on Stretch or you will get failed / missing dependencies.

@piuser1234

However, for Zelda in nes, I can control the game just fine and do everything normally, except quit. I can't get out of it without pulling the plug.

when you did https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#configure-controllers, what did you configure as 'start' and what did you configure as 'hotkey'? to quit it's hotkey + start.

the link is quite clear on this.

the emulators in retropie (at least, the ones available for pi3) use a fraction of the default GPU memory, so raising the split does nothing but take more ram away from the system, where it IS needed (for compilations, etc).

I'd unfortunately second @Capeman 's suggestion. Enter the favorites list, and just press Y until they're gone. There's no way to clear it in a single step.

If you scrape those games again though it might clear the favorites flag, depending on the scraper you're using and whether it overwrites existing metadata. That's also an option.

Why exactly are you trying to clear them, though, just out of curiosity? Removing and adding them back won't get you any metadata for those games. You need to scrape them. Probably they weren't scraped as setting then as favorites added them to the gamelists, and the scraper might skip games that already have entries there?

Screech thanks for the info!!!!

Although not the correct way, I did figure out how to get the best of both worlds. After generating the gamelist.xml using UXS, I edited the file and removed all the <name> tags. The result - I have the original names that I'm used to AND I have snaps/descriptions for all the games (mame)
