Updated EmulationStation for Windows
-
@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.

I set a hotkey in RetroArch to exit the emulator, and it works just like on a RetroPie, closing RetroArch and dumping me back into EmulationStation.
Is there any better way to get around that 2gb limit for Wii/PS2 games? My gamelist.xml files are pretty messy, and I'd really prefer not to have to go through and redo them all. That being the case, I'll probably just stick with the older version of ES for now.
On a related note, is there any way to run one of those faster scrapers on PC? I'm pretty new to this, just made the jump from a RetroPie back over to PC.

Try Skraper (skraper.net), it's pretty fast and has a lot of options.

@geekcritique I have used "ES Gamelist Generator" for my folders it have .bat files for my Windows Games. It makes a gamelist from anything you have in your folder. I have made a Gamelist for my .pdf and .cbr documents, too. And a system for "ComicRack" to Open my Retro Magazines via Emulationstation.

You are thinking about being able to make the menu can be played online, add friends, create rooms and join. Using the retroarch netplayhttp://www.retroarch.com/index.php?page=netplay
Another thing is possible Music and sound background. For what is good for the job. See aki an example of a wweb in Spain that uses the ES to play online with mame

I have a Problem with the "favorites". If i add games to the favorites and restart ES for Windows, the added or un-added games are not saved. I have tested it with Parse Gamelists "on" and "off". Also Save Metadata on Exit.
Any Idea? Why is not saving the favorites as a gamelistfile in the gamelists folder? -
@pittstone Favorites are not stored in a separate gamelist file, they're just a toggle stored on the ROM's entry in the systems' gamelists. What version of ES are you using and when did you last update it ?
-
@mitu I used always the newest Version of Jrassa.

Just popping in to say thanks to @jdrassa for this! Haven't been on the forums much these days as I built a very powerful PC but recently got this build to work and have found myself checking out the forums again.

I have a Problem with "Kid-mode". Many Games are showing in emulationstation there are not defined as "<kidgame>true</kidgame>"
If i define the showing game as "<kidgame>false</kidgame>" its showing again in emulationstation. Not all games showing, but many that are not defined as kidgame.

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum but an old fan of Emulationstation.
If is there anyone interested, I am in a project which automates the download and configuration of EmulationStation on Windows. It's really easy to use. If you are interested, you can find it here:
https://github.com/PRElias/win10_emulation_station/tree/choco-auto-install
By the way, the purpose for me being here it that I am having problems playing sounds on my themes and I am looking for help. I am sure that the theme is accessing the folder, because all svg files are being sucessfully loaded, but no sound, even usin ogg or wav files.
Is there someone with a tip on this? Thank you

@jdrassa Are there any plans to update the Windows Version of EmulationStation to support the new TheGamesDB API?
Current scrapping is broken since it uses the old API.
Also are there any plans to support more scrappers?Thank you for keeping the Windows version alive. Really appreciate it.
