    Anybody else running front end with ROMs on external storage on shield TV? I'm wondering if it's normal for the front end to take quite a while to initially load ROMs from external hard drive when I was running from the internal storage I had about 3,000 games that loaded fairly quickly now on external I have about 5,000 tried with both the HDD and SSD And it takes a couple minutes to say how many games found then another minute to go into the frontend but when I exit a emulator after playing a game it goes right back the front end and loads up fairly quickly I don't know if it's a bug or its just because the amount of games/assets?

      @jerzeeloon there have been reports of slow USB access, but it seems to be depending on the device. Do you see anything out of order in the log file (<storage>/pegasus-frontend/lastrun.log)?

        Weekly update! The week was more spent with experimenting and trying out a few things, so only some smaller changes this time:

        • Added support for disabling the mouse cursor if needed
        • Fixed the file selector not appearing for multifile games
        • Fixed the main theme not remembering the last launched game

        Also there'll be likely no updates next weekend (I'll be away for a few days).

          @fluffypillow is there a way to configure/map controls inside pegasus-frontend and tell retroarch to use that configuration from pegasus-frontend?

              Hello,
              I test Pegasus-fe since some times, and it's very promising. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find new themes.
              I 've find only an additional one (very nice, so it's the one I used)...

              I've just a question, and don't find it in the docs. Is there a way to change the video playback volume ? or simply disable the video snapshot sound ?

                I too would like this volume-feature, I would guess that the video playback is consistently about 30% louder than the actual game sound.

                  I just installed Pegasus this morning and really like the look of it. I'm currently using a SN30 PRO controller from 8bitdo and I have them configured and working properly in the front end. When I launch a game they don't work however the keyboard I have attached does work. The controller works perfectly in EmulationStation.

                  Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

                    @Magma You'll need to configure the controller in your emulator also, Pegasus is just the frontend, has no influence on the emulator's settings.

                      @mitu I have to configure it per emulator even though it worked fine in EmulationStation on Retropie? How would I go about doing this? I didn't see a per emulator option in Pegasus.

                      Is there a way to just copy the settings that were used in EmulationStation?

                        @Magma You didn't mention you're using RetroPie. If you configured the controllers in Emulationstation, at least the RetroArch cores should work. Can you get a verbose log from Runcommand from a RetroArch based emulator ? and post it on pastebin.com ?

                          @mitu Sorry I'm a bit inexperienced. Is there a command to run from a prompt for that or something?

                            @Magma When starting a game, use the Runcommand launch menu to enable verbose logging. After the game is run or you exit it - get the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file and post it on pastebin.com.
                            And add some more info about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

                                @Magma The log shows the controller is not configured for RetroArch:

                                [..]
                                [INFO] [udev]: Keyboard #0 (/dev/input/event0).

                                [INFO] [udev]: Pad #0 (/dev/input/event1) supports 0 force feedback effects.

                                Re-configure the controller in Emulationstation - Controller Configuration - and try again.

                                  I test Pegasus-fe since some times, and it's very promising. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find new themes.

                                  Yes, there aren't too many yet, hopefully it will get better in the future! (I should also update the theme making tutorials)

                                  @carlhungus74 @AndersHP the playback volume is based on the system's main volume. I think it'd be possible to change that with eg. amixer when Pegasus starts up or launches a game.

                                  @Magma Unfortunately the gamepad setup is not shared with the emulators yet on RetroPie. Would like to add this feature eventually though!

                                    @mitu I rebooted the Retropie and reconfigured the controller. Loaded a game and confirmed it was working.

                                    Exited EmulationStation and loaded Pegasus. Launched a game. Controller works fine in the front end but still does not work at all once a game is launched.

                                    Here is the pastebin of the log. https://pastebin.com/X4DnRkLn

                                    Looks like the same issue.

                                      @Magma I think I know what's the issue - you're running Pegasus as root or via sudo, while Emulationstation runs as the user pi. As a consequence, the auto-configuration folder - where the gamepad configs are stored - are different.
                                      Don't run Pegasus as root / via sudo - it's not advisable and it will break other configurations also.

                                        But wouldn't lowering the main volume lower the volume in the games also, so the issue will remain the same?
