@cubed3d that problem happened because of the sudo. There's no need to use the script this way. Calling the script with sudo is confusing it about the homedir. I'll try to make the script smart enough to deal with it ;-)

@meleu Thanks for the quick reply!

Had a try without the sudo as suggested, a bit better progress:

For each and every ROM, cancelled it shortly after.
Seems its having trouble determining the MD5 hash of each ROM file now, I will try with locally stored ROMs and report back!

Unmounted network share and tried locally:

pi@RetroPie:~/RetroPie/roms/snes $ ~/hascheevos/bin/hascheevos.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/Super Mario Kart (Europe).zip"
Checking JSON hash libraries...

Local ROMs working. Now I'm thinking it may have something to do with write permissions? Is there a more verbose output to debug this?

Yes. Do what @hansolo77 did here and post the debug.txt file on codepad.org

@meleu
Ouput to debug.txt

Nothing really standing out except for the MD5 check error. scratches head

@cubed3d Looks like something similar to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85999, due to the 32bit OS. Try re-mounting the file share with the additional options ,nounix,noserverino and see if you get the same errors.

cubed3d

@mitu Huzzah!
That solved it, and also the issue of playing zipped ROMs from the network share, previously only unzipped ROMs would load.
Thanks for your help, everything is how it should be - what a great community :)

mitu

@cubed3d Glad you got it sorted out. Note that these options are documented in the Wiki at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Running-ROMs-from-a-Network-Share

I know this is off-topic, but I'm sorry I accidentally downvoted some of your posts...
Normally, I use a mobile device to browse the forums, and sometimes I hit the downvote button when trying to scroll down without me noticing. I've un-downvoted (Is this even a word?) the respective posts.

@meleu - Hey good buddy.. any plans to update the script to incorporate the new Atari2600 and NGPC systems? I just noticed there are now achievements for games like Pitfall! and a game on NGPC. Doesn't look like the script will scrape those systems yet.

Ps, still love the scripts/utility!

meleu

@hansolo77 yeah! I need to update the tool... I'll let you know when I do. ;)

hansolo77

Cool! No hurries. I know you got a lot on your plate. Not to mention you had plans of maybe writing another script to scan for games that have Leaderboards. But that's probably going to be a while out. I don't know how you can do that, because not all games that are on RA have Leaderboards, and not all Leaderboards have cheevos. Unless they keep a separate database. Just ecisted to see what you come up with! :)

hansolo77

I've been occasionally running the tool against my sets (about once a month) and have started to notice that my rom count (for all in one list) has been steadily decreasing rather than increasing. I backed up the most recent list, then updated the list and ran a diff against the two. There are a bunch of roms no longer in the list. I checked my games and they don't pop with a list anymore, and the RA site no longer lists them. Is this a typical behavior, that games will suddenly disappear? Or is there some pruning going on? It's just alarming to see my list dwindling.

Here's the output of my latest diff.

this.

We had so many wrong ROMs linked to games on our database and in the past few weeks we did a big cleanup.

Also, I think I need to update some stuff on my hascheevos tool. It currently isn't able to check if Arcade ROMs have cheevos, for example...

hansolo77

@meleu I know. Just keeping you on your toes. :) I'm liking all the advancements though.

meleu

@hansolo77 I've updated some stuff on the hascheevos code. Now I think it's able to check ROMs for all supported systems. BUT... be aware that to check arcade ROMs you MUST use the script with the --arcade option.

hansolo77

Awesome. I'll give it a whirl! :)

hansolo77

I don't think the arcade system is working. I tried a bunch of different things, and got nothing:

pi@retropie:~ $ ./hascheevos/bin/hascheevos.sh --arcade
Checking JSON hash libraries...
Done!
pi@retropie:~ $ ./hascheevos/bin/hascheevos.sh --single-collection --arcade
Checking JSON hash libraries...
Done!
pi@retropie:~ $ ./hascheevos/bin/hascheevos.sh --system arcade
Checking JSON hash libraries...
Done!

Am I missing something? I also ran the --update prior to do things.

meleu

@hansolo77

Am I missing something?

yeah, you're missing something. But it was my fault, I didn't give enough instructions.

TL;DR: you most likely want this command:

./hascheevos.sh --arcade --system fba

Explaining:

The --arcade option says to hascheevos that we are going to process the zip files by themselves (in other words, there's no need to unzip and check the actual rom file as the script does for another systems), that's the way we deal with Arcade files at RetroAchievements.org.
The libretro core used to have achievements for arcade games is fbalpha, then --system fba makes hascheevos "scrape" data for the ROMs in ~/RetroPie/roms/fba. Of course if you put all your arcade ROMs in the arcade folder, you should use --system arcade, but keep in mind that only those you run with fbalpha are able to support cheevos.

hansolo77

Sounds good. Trying it again now..

Doesn't seem to be working. Went by pretty quickly (a lot less time than any other system).. It didn't find any cheevo games, just ran a lot of :
