      @kryptalivian Great! Pegasus looks for game XMLs in the directories set in its es_systems.xml file, which should be located at at ~/.emulationstation/ or /etc/emulationstation/ – the places where the official ES looks for them too. You can also set a custom path for the systems XML by adding a custom setting line to Pegasus' settings file: providers.es2.installdir: /path/to/your/dir, in which case Pegasus will look only in this dir.

      You'll need a little more than current MAME and the rollback. You also need a handful of unofficial ROMs for some decrypted, demo and free play games. It's worth the time to find them as arcadez has added some real gems and updated classics with more accurate game play.

      If you want to be posh, if you will, ;) and 100% complete check out the OST's added by KMFDManic and grant. They are a very nice complement to games like Double Dragon, Final Fight, Mortal Kombat, Moonwalker, NBA Jam and Outrun.

      I think they are in the DAT so you'll have to find them or be ok with set errors. I know some people can be real nutters when it comes to incomplete sets, they just can't stand seeing the report of a few missing ROMs.

      It seems the stereo versions are a little more challenging to find but the mono are fairly easy. I think the custom OST's will become more widely available soon though, so keep an eye out.

      The mono version will play either the left or right channel bilateral and the stereo is basically split-stereo that is remixed on the fly (they are named identical but suffixed with a "-1" and "-2", for left/right channels respectfully. Some of the 16-bit stereo versions are over 300MB but they are easy to resize and keep the original intact if running on an NES mini or other limited resource console.

      I wouldn't worry to much about the CHD's pending your platform of choice and ability to rum them but I I think they are only around 16GB which is relatively small as current CHD's plus rollback CHDs combined are like 600 or 700GB. A current MAME complete set is so big now it has its own drive, I think it's around 1TB without extras.

      Sadly, it appears we did hit a dead end after trying your latest recommendation. I also tried with and without quotes for the rom path entry, to no avail.

      I can access my games using the lr-run option, so I am happy.

      Thanks for your patience and persistence. You are a great value the Retro community.

      @WilsonB

      You can use this project to make use of many(/not all) @Orionsangel 's overlays with ease.

      Follow the instructions of the first post.
      Make sure you have installed mame/lr-mess and lr-mame.
      Then goto CHEATS/ARTWORK/BEZELS > Submenu and select Setup Orionsangels Realistic Arcade Overlays > roms/realistic.
      Then add your roms in roms/realistic (or use the restricted part)

      @mitu After several attempts I found the problem. is the font. Its smaller than it should be. It doesn't fill the full height space but the star does,so it looks bigger.

      It appears the TI-99 logo in this theme (regular and metadata versions) is still showing as the TRS-80 logo. The TFT version of the theme does have the proper TI-99 logo. I'm not sure if this theme is still updated but just thought I'd mention as it’s a fantastic theme.

      The original The Curse of Monkey Island is one of the games given to members of Amazon Prime this month. It is setup to run in ScummVM.

      Incidentally, this is one of the reasons why a wiki page isn't great. This is only true for this month. I've got an idea I'm mulling over for a searchable, updateable replacement for this thread.

I'm using the ES portable build from herb fargus on windows 10 and I'm realy interested in the mentioned launcher which would make my Retro Gaming Experience much more enyoable! Any chance to get this launcher somewhere here in the forum?

      Hello Ruckage !
      I took the liberty of borrowing your concept from the beginning from the start to
      make a view ( for launchbox), I don't really know what I'm going to do with it,
      it was a simple test.but I wanted to show it to you.
      I added some elements without overloading it.

      I looked at your liabilities, you did a great project with your assets GG!
      We don't have the same jersey and but we have the same passion ;)

      @nemo93 said in [Amiga] Amiberry + WHDLoad = Holy Grail - Amiberry's official thread:

      If you are on KMS/64-bit you have SDL2 version and you want that auto-crop feature enabled. When turned on it will take precedence over any other display settings including centering (as long as allow_display_settings_from_xml=no). Hence why these boxes are unchecked even if specified otherwise from amiberry.conf.

      Hope this helps.

      Yes, very much. Thanks. I will set allow_display_settings_from_xml=no then.

      I have another question to all Amiberry users here: Has anyone tried Biing (AGA)? It uses hires interlaced mode, but Amiberry seems to struggle with that. Sometimes it works (if I play around with Line Mode or Interlaced Line Modeand sometimes I get the game in hires, and sometimes not. Any ideas? (Besides from playing the DOS version)?
