Updated EmulationStation for Windows
-
@isblagi That's really a RetroArch error, not related to Emulationstation, it doesn't seem to like ROM paths containing forward slashes.
-
@mitu I just tryed another core and it runs fine. Definitely a core issue.
Thanks for the reply. -
@jdrassa I have a Problem with Custom Collections if i Use Portable Emulationstation with the portable.bat The Custom Collection shows Only if i make a new collection from theme. After closing Emulationstation for windows and start it again, the collections gone. I need go in Menue, make a new custom collection with the same Name and the Collections with my Games i made earlyer are showing again.
On Closing and Starting next Time its gone again. -
@pittstone I am able to reproduce the error. It may take a little time to track down the cause, but I am looking into it.

@mitu Thanks for the link. It was helpful.
-
@PittStone I have a test build available at the link below. Can you test and verify that it solves the issue for you? Thanks.

@jdrassa Awesome, that works. Thanks. The Problem is now, the collections .cfg are not portable. In the .cfg are the full name path's of each game. But if i Use it portable and change the emulationstation to a other Drive or usb stick, the collections not showing anymore. :(
Is there a other Method to change the path's in the .cfg like "%HOME%/.emulationstation/roms/..."? -
@pittstone Currently, you will need to edit the collection .cfg files manually if you are copying them to a different location.
-
@jdrassa O.k. Thanks for the Update. Now i can make Collections. :D
-
Hi I love your work! can you please add a background music support? I think that this is a must have thing on emulation station.
-
@jdrassa -I have a idea. It would be nice, to have a option in the Start Menue to hide all systems without collections. So i have only my collections in the Start Menue if i wish.
-
@goamalo I can not confirm. I like Background music, but only on my pi. On regular Windows 10 Desktop i have Game-Snaps and if i go back to Main Menue i will not have music.
-
@jdrassa It would be almost perfect, but there is still the problem with two systems that no info, images and videosnaps are displayed. Despite proper gamelist. I have the problem with wiiu and Ps2. Some games are displayed with info some not. Strangely, when I copy each game into a folder, at least the folder displays info, pictures and snaps. But not from the game file.
-
@pittstone That might be a scraping problem, how does the gamelist.xml look like for one of such systems ?
-
@mitu i don't think it's a scraping problem. The limitation of the image files is the real problem here. I have also th problem with images over 2gb. Is there a solution to this?
-
I use the Parse Gamelist option to go around the 2gb game limit.
-
@duiz Oh, man. Thats so Simple and solved this Problem. Thanks. Im now Understand what this Option mean.
-
Glad to help! Just remember that you got to turn off that option and restart ES or edit the gamelist xml manually when you want to add new games.
-
Thanks a lot for keeping the Windows Emulationstation alive.
Is it possible to quit a game and return directly to Emulationstation like on the Pi? With Select+Start or something?
I set Select as hotkey but when I press Select+Start the game quits to Retroarch, which I have to quit as well. I use 2.7.4RP on Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit.
