Here are my cheat code if you want to try them

Interesting that you are using .inf files. Is that what you mean by RUMBLE code? The only file type I found that it supports so far are .cht files using this format:

cheat0_desc =
cheat0_code =
cheat0_enable =

I guess I will have to add another parser for reading inf files.

If it can help you, my ES file for custom system list and my XML gems list to see path media.

es_systems.cfg is awesome. I was trying to find something that specifies the file types so I am not blindly searching through folders for games. Just to double check, I found it at /etc/emulationstation, but is there an alternative directory for that?

As for your es_gamelist.tgz, it is also useful to see what options are available.

Bluetooh devices working fine, i can see them but only the Address. Name, Company, Manufacturer are empty.

I found the es_input.cfg file containing the controller UUID. Problem is finding how to tie that into the bluetooth connection details. The good news is, I might be able to support usb connected devices once I figure that out too.

Very interesting you think to saves and states. Don't forgot we can also change the PATH in RETROACH config.

Do you know where those settings are saved to? I will add it to my scripts.

Yes, the emulators on Xbox are using them. And it is not compaatible with RETROARCH :(
But if you can convert them, nobody never do it before, there are no more RA code over the net or i don't found them :(

Is that what you mean by RUMBLE code? The only file type I found that it supports so far are .cht files using this format:

They made them like CHEAT CODE, with a memory adress to survey.
And when it change, the emulator not lock it to give you infinite life, but launch an event.
And this event is to make the controller RUMBLE with different strong !
It is really excellent and a really cool idea :D
I have a friend that add this feature today to Zelda Solaris for future release, so strange nobody never do it on RA.

/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es.systems.cfg is the only PATH for me.

I found the es_input.cfg file containing the controller UUID.

Excellent :D I have forgot there is the UUID there.

Do you know where those settings are saved to? I will add it to my scripts.

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg : Default settings and PATH
/opt/retropie/configs/ $SYSTEM$ /retroarch.cfg : Can be modify here, i change PATH by SYSTEM here.

# Savefile / Savestate directory
savefile_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/medias/3do/savefile"
savestate_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/medias/3do/savestate"
screenshot_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/medias/3do/screenshots"

It can also have file there : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/ $CORE$ /

But it's not for change PATH ... i don't use them.
And it will be hard for you to verify them because it is not a SYSTEM name you can found on the es_system file but the CORE name.

I posted an update to the RetroPie Web Console.
If you already have the RetroPie Web Console, you can execute the self-update through the updates page.
Also, I have added RetroPie-Extra to the update for RetroPie-Setup.

FYI, the monitor page is now unfiltered until I can figure out a good filtering setup, so my apologies if the list is massive.

Regarding Games section, I am working on better support for file types and alternative configurations, but it is not in yet. Cheats upload is not functional yet. Also, deeply nested folders are not supported yet. Once I figure out file types configurations, that will be resolved.

I think it works but i'm not sure ...
I have also made an git pull and ./updates.sh

Also, I have added RetroPie-Extra to the update for RetroPie-Setup.

I don't see it. you have merge it with Retropie-Setup ?

I can't see nothing. Before it not works fine all the time, but now i haven't any stats.

I will stand you finish this page before testing it.
For the moment it's empty.

@darknior Any chance you can clear your browser cache. ctrl+shift+delete (Only cached files and cookies)

As for pulling updates for Retropie-Extra, I found there is a lag when dealing with the conversion from shell files to the database to the browser. I will look into that.

The monitor works with the console opened. Because like you write it clean the cache.

I think the games section is almost ready, but I need some opinions on if I should include a feature or not.

Currently, no games are displayed on the page until you select your emulators and then press the search button. For me, a full search takes about 22 seconds to load all 298 games. Should I auto-load from the start or enforce that they select their emulators?

I think it's better to stand we choose a system before show the gamelist.

Finally got the game section mostly working. The cheats section cannot update cheats yet, but at least you can view them and see if there are any issues pulling them.

FYI, you can also update your game metadata including uploading the image.

nevsan

Not sure if this is the place for this question or not, but would you be able to program a section in this to apply and change graphical overlays and filters that the wonderful peeps on this forum have made.

I ask this as I still haven't got to grips with adding them. Like

,

and the amazing work done by John Merritt for the mame sets.

I not sure if functionality could be added to this or their could be a separate program to add to Emulation Station but I would love if this came to fruition.

I can't try it, i don't know why. I have use the updater.sh with no problem but the web service is down i think.
I have nothing on port 3000. Manager on port 8000 and Webtropie are working fine.
How can i reload your Web Console ?
Thanks

MileSacul

@darknior Maybe send me your updater.sh file.
I did add some node modules, so you may have to add "npm install" to it.

Ok it works with install

The new application filters is e really cool idea :)
I have try to change emulation|retro|omx to see OMXPlayer but it don't work.

I can't see nothing in your game page.
I change filter but it list nothing.
I don't know where you search games but it not works for me.

Great! Did you try my self-update? FYI, I found out RetroPie-Setup and RetroPie-Extra did have updates.

The new application filters is e really cool idea :)

You asked for the ability to modify the filter I use. This was the idea I thought would be sufficient. :)

I have try to change emulation|retro|omx to see OMXPlayer but it don't work.

One thing to keep in consideration, Name filters name column and Command filters command column. Try adding omx to the command input. If necessary, remove all filters in name and command and then manually search for it.

I can't see nothing in your game page.
I change filter but it list nothing.
I don't know where you search games but it not works for me.

I attempted to search for games based on of your /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file. I ran my test with default settings, so maybe it is screwing if you modified that file.

Keep in mind, you have to click the Search section to make it drop down. Then select your emulator(s) and click Search. Then the list should appear as shown here:

I would love to add that feature. If you could find some readable manual instructions on how to set that up, then I can work on implementing it within the web console. With all the things I am programming, watching a 30-minute video on how to implement it is bothersome.

FYI, I plan to add a configs section where you can edit any retroarch/emulator config, so I will probably include it in that section.

I have modified my es_systems.cfg

Yes i click SEARCH button ;)
But ... (WTF) ... i don't have the same screen than you ?????
I don't have the MINIMUM MAXIMUM input and INCLUDE CHEAT checkbox ...
There is a problem i think.

MileSacul

Sorry about that. I sent you an old screenshot. I removed those since I found minimum and maximum only is updated on pi restart. Also, include cheats is loaded by default.

So you still are not able to get a games list?

MileSacul

I created a discord chat if anybody wants to join for better support.

Sorry fella, this is one of the main reasons why I'm asking if it can be added as I haven't easily added Overlays or filters to anything :(

It does seem the retroarch adds the overlay per system or per game. This includes telling it where the file is stored and what size and where on the screen. This can be different per game - Mame is a classic example of this.

Then there is an option within retroarch that allows you to add scanlines or other filters to change the screen effect.

Sorry for the bad explaination – perhaps someone else that knows their beans can explain it in a way that MileSacul can understand. Would really love this feature - especially IF a file could be set up within this program a system all together, for batch changes.

@darknior
If the caps lock was intentional. Sorry that I angered you; I do not mean to disrespect.

I reviewed your es_systems.cfg file again and it looks about on par with mine, although you have a lot bigger games list than I do.

FYI, The method I use to find your games is I search path for any files matching what you have in extension.

EX:
<system>
<name>3do</name>
<fullname>3DO Interactive Multiplayer</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/3do</path>
<extension>.iso .ISO</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS 3do %ROM%</command>
<platform>3do</platform>
<theme>3do</theme>
</system>

If you select 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, then I search anything under /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/3do that ends with ".iso" or ".ISO"

One thing your es_systems.cfg doesn't show is if you are using any aliases for your folders. I am thinking of adding another push to the Program that allows you to get log information.

This might make it easier to track down where you are having issues.

Just for a start, what Emulators are you selecting for your search?
