Looks like you found the EmulationStation config file. You want configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg
you are looking for the line that reads
mgba_gb_model = "Autodetect"
Change Autodetect to SuperGameBoy

@jdpieeyed There are 2 images - you need the one for the Raspberry 2/3.

I think Ubuntu wouldn't allow it since it was a 'hidden' folder.

First time I hear this kind of - obviously wrong - explanation. Check the permissions on the folder and make sure your $USER owns the folder where the scripts are saved. You don't need to use sudo to edit something that's in your home folder.

Could also been something I mucked up; since I installed using net-inst, I checked the permissions and they looked fine.

And it looks like I corrected the issue. I copied the gamelist.xml for Atari 2600 from Emulationstation to the folder that holds the roms. That seems to have done the trick. Thank you guys again for the guidance and help.

@mitu IT WORKED!!!
Finally :)
I had to reconfigure buttons but besides those details it completely fixed the problem!!
thank you really

It's a bit of a pain, have you read through this document?

I assume your encoder is like mine and the button/joystick presses are keyboard mappings, if you know what they are then you just need to edit the dapinput.ini accordingly.

To give you some context, my Coin keyboard mapping = 5, so for Daphne that equals 53, joystick up = up, which maps to 273 in daphne, button 1 = LCTRL which maps to 306

Yeah, the \\IP-ADDRESS-HERE\McArcade\RetroPie\ROMs\Nintendo\Super Nintendo Entertainment System UNC style paths are Windows specific, they won't work on Linux. Glad you got it working, happy gaming !

i managed to run it in full speed with this command: startx lincity-ng the only downside is that its not full screen and the -f is not working with startx but its something
i know that some ports require different configuration,most of the ones i did i have found the configuration with many tests

thanks for helping

can you add to the lincity-ng install script the -f parameter its a good option for the game.

@mitu lol, i didn't know that, ty

@mitu Indeed. You were right all along. I really appreciate you helping me track that down. Its been a long time since I have messed with my RP and I had become more unfamiliar with everything than I was when I was more into it. ;)

@dankcushions Thank you for the reply. I figured it was something like that.

What is the best way to delete all core overrides at once? Using the retoarch menu or by deleting a specific config file?

Thanks for your help.

I got the Super Gameboy logo to show up with rom paths and everything but lr-mgba wont save configurations... I give up.

EDIT: I got this form dev>shm>runcommand.log after changing an option in lr-mgba and resuming gameplay, what does it mean?:

@HoraceAndSpider

By all means, thank you very much for taking a look. The links are these (I think these are ok here, as they are fan remakes, but let me know otherwise):

ftp://ftp:any@grandis.nu/~Uploads/Aladin/WHDLOAD generic/RoadAvengerAGA-WHDL.lzx
ftp://ftp:any@grandis.nu/~Uploads/Aladin/WHDLOAD generic/TimeGalAGA-WHDL.lzx

I had to convert them from LZX to LHA (unless I shouldn't have?), and it might also certainly be an issue on my end as, as I mentioned, I have little familiarity with the Amiga ecosystem.

Apologies for the trouble, and thank you for your time and dropping by. By the way, thank you for your GitHub repository - it was tremendously helpful in getting this set up :)

EDIT: if it helps, I'm happy to share the created config files for WHDLoad for these in my setup. Maybe it's just something absurdly obvious. Thank you and let me know how I can help.

@mitu, I'll check the script but to me the fact that the source code of ES refers to the buttons by two different names is incorrect.

Emulationstation works with more than 1 type of controller and/or keyboard. The fact that it works fine for a lot of other people contradicts your observation.

Anyway, I have to say that I didn't download the full package at first. I mean I only downloaded the source code of ES to compile, then when I realised I missed the themes I installed the configuration script. I need to do more testing though.

If you didn't install the package correctly, then you'll get incorrect results. Install the package from the RetroPie-Setup package - the stable version - then re-configure your controller and see if the .cfg file is correctly generated.

@BuZz Id love to help, but i have absolutely no idea what to do with that...It would be easy for me to set up a clean VM and test what you did, but im clueless as to what to do with that link.
Edit: Fail

I see that the lr-caprice32 has support for m3u playlists - https://github.com/libretro/libretro-cap32 - so you can create a .m3u file containing each game's disks.
Emulationstation doesn't know - yet - how to handle those files and it will not show them, though. If you use the lr-caprice32, you can create your custom es_systems.cfg - see here) - and add .m3u as known extension.

@ferhound Just use a Collection to group those games under a different section - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#custom-collections.

@quicksilver nevermind i fixed it
