@dankcushions So I updated emulationstation. I am not sure if I done it nicely or not but.. it still do not work. Maybe my problem?
-
You should update from source using the
emulationstation-dev
package instead of the normal one. This because the former pulls using themaster
branch and the latter uses thestable
branch.Go to the RetroPie setup menu, then Manage Packages and then go to the
experimental
section to installemulationstation-dev
from source.
If you update packages probably you will have to re-do this again. Not sure. -
@hhromic looking at the commit I linked to, it looks like it has been applied to the master branch, so I don't think dev is needed? but yes, you will need to update via source.
-
@dankcushions yes, the commit you linked applies to
master
. I understand the scriptmodules work like this:emulationstation
uses thestable
branchemulationstation-dev
uses themaster
branch
Hence why I think the latter should be used for the very latest changes in
master
like that commit. -

@genzi0401 let us know if that solves it for you.
Looks like this commit is quite fundamental for nowadays' rom sizes. Perhaps @BuZz can merge it into the stable branch so there is no need to go to the dev branch?
-
@hhromic The problem was reported only for Windows, on Linux I tested ES before this patch and there was no problem.

Mmm, I was under the impression @genzi0401 is running on an RPI.
es_log.txt just showed this:
lvl1: File "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Final Fantasy VIII.PBP" does not exist! Ignoring.Also the relevant source code in the commit seems to be outside of a
defined(_WIN32)
context.
But if you tested before that fix then maybe he is having another problem in there. Let's wait for input from @genzi0401 .Edit: Actually, the commit's message mentions an approach for the Pi:
Fixes for roms larger than 2GB
pi: #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
windows: Switch to use stat64 where needed -
@hhromic said in Single .pbp being ignored.:

From the log file, it sure looks like it's on a Pi. But since there was no additional information, we can only guess.

I can confirm that using latest RetroPie in latest Raspbian Stretch with stable EmulationStation it does recognise files >2GB as @mitu stated:
Created a test "rom":
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/RetroPie/roms/psx/test.pbp bs=1M count=3072
Then restarted ES, the rom appears and ES tries to launch it normally. Of course the emulator returns immediately, but it IS recognised by ES:
lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.7.6rp, built Jul 11 2018 - 17:57:30 ... lvl2: Attempting to launch game... lvl2: /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ psx /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/test.pbp
