@phulshof said in Scrapes of full romsets available?:

finding corresponding game sets is rather easy. :)

In your (or my) case certainly ;) because I think you already have a "clean" romset, or a well known romset like NO-INTRO without renamed file ;)

but I can garanty it's not always so easy ;) I have associated manually about 4000 Roms to there own games (on 470000+ Screenscraper DB have) and sometime it's a real pain in the A. to match a file like "XmZ2.zip" to the good game ;) Even when you know on wich system it is ;)

That's why I spoke about a "universal" file... It's just impossible it works on 100% case (even 80% will be a miracle ;) )

I have an eye on what UXS Scrape in the world and what is found or not by the API on Screenscraper (API Error Result Page) and every day their is lot's of.... "silly thing ?"
Gameboy game scraped as MegaCD game,
File like "_1.zip",
100Ko Iso file,
And so much different case...

An other thing, creating theses files mean creating a "new" local DB... because it will be very hard to have "complete" file.
You always found someone who have the "special Hack Edition Unrealeased merged Turbo ' Alpha 2 zero Russian translation".
That's why DB like Screenscraper, TheGameDb, and others were created ;)

The only way it "may" works is to create these files only for Known Full romset. Like NO-INTRO, retrobution, Tosec,... But it mean 1 file by System and 1 file by romset creator... A huge work to do ^^

In any way, feel free to take what you need on Screenscraper ;) it's CC ;)
(And if your work is in the same "mind" with better info/media, we will certainly ask if it's possible to reverse the process to fill the DB ;) )

@SpudsMcToole Hm.

Any competing bluetooth devices? You seem to mention another dongle of sorts.

Have you tried the instructions here

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/PS3-Controller

for "older versions of RetroPie"?

Also, in the guide, it clearly states "Note: Do not enable other bluetooth options as these will conflict with the PS3 specific bluetooth setup (sixad)", so I wonder if you have any competing bluetooth service turning on, regardless of dongles and stuff.

I'd try going through that guide, extensively, and seeing if anything works - and yes, disconnecting any other Bluetooth device (and potentially uninstalling any other bluetooth service you might have started or enabled unknowingly).

Last update to retropie I remember is 17.3

@ckp Great. Hold on to it then, and make a backup :)

Thanks @mediamogul. I did a search but either used the wrong terms or my eyes skipped over it. I'll give it a read.

@Hex
I tried with VNC.
ssh to Pi , start VNC
Open VNC from my PC, open LXterminal in VNC, run emulationstation

It didn't work too.

@RedBatman np. Edited my post since i wrote the versions wrong

@cafarellidigital @Mishtakzun you can definetly do what you want, install the rom in one location and link to it. See this thread on how to do it with @meleu script. link text

This is great info even for those of us who are not using standard HD video resolutions. Anyone building an arcade cabinet using dirt cheap 17 or 19-inch LCDs typically find them running 1280x1024 resolution, and although 1024p is not 1080p, it's certainly better than 720, and I can definitely attest to how nice the CRT-PI shader looks at 1024.

It's also handy to know that the shader looks best when it has 4x game resolution to render the scanline and shadow mask effects. This has come up in a few other threads over the past few months--people building hand-held devices that have tiny screens sometimes ask about using the CRT-PI shader. I had always thought you would need extra pixels to make the CRT effect look nice. I guess my advice was sound. Good info all around.

everything works fine now, thank you

I solved the problem. Like how I caused the problem, I don't know what actually fixed it, but I went into the... myriad of config files, from the command line and from the configuration editor in EmulationStation, setting the shaders to "false" as per your suggestion and this fixed things, only the GB games were black and white instead of green and worse green. But I solved this in the quick menu>options>BG Colorization custom and >Internal Palette GBC - Green, although that second one may not be necessary.

The kicker is the game I've been playing, in monkeying around with stuff, I wound up making additional config files for this specific game, so it was still green(!) I used the File Manager in ES and went to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/Gambatte and deleted all the .cfg files except Gambatte.cfg, which was the file I had edited earlier to fix things (I think). But it works now and I'll leave these shaders and things alone for a while until I'm ready to make another big mess.

But i didnt used the scraper function at all .
I used an image to install retropie with roms and everything .
Start it up and all info and images are there next to the games .

I add 3 psx games with my usb stick , restart retropie and all the images and info are gone next to the games . Only the gamelist is there .

Without using scraper for those 3 psx games i added .

@Fruitybit Nah, I've got loads of room, at least 20GB.

@SrBlank did you try unplugging the touchscreen and try booting with hdmi? I ask because you need to rule out a corrupt sd card which can do this exact same thing.

@SpudsMcToole there are warnings all over to back up your builds! Also, where are you storing all of these? There are certain folders that get overridden during updates. There are other folders like .emulationststion that do not. You should follow tutorials and save you custom work in folders that do not get overridden.

@edmaul69 I was actually able to get it to work. I tried a different ps3controller option, Shanwan Clone, and both controllers immediately connected. Problem solved, hooray!

edit: This also seems to have solved my Bluetooth reconnect issues as well. If anybody else is having the issues that I was, I suggest trying a few of the other ps3bluetooth driver options.
