Retropie namingconvention question.

BuZz

Please edit /opt/retropie/configs/nes/emulators.cfgchanging the line

lr-fceumm="/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"

to

lr-fceumm="/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg %ROM% --verbose"

and post the output again after launching - also please can you show me it launching when renamed.

the output will be more - please use markdown to style the log in a codeblock (as I have done). (three backticks around the log - see http://commonmark.org/help/)

Ristul

Ok, I changed the line and it works, did not get an error in the runcommand.log this time, and the controller works again too it seems. Show? Like a video?

BuZz

The line just outputs more debugging information - it should make no difference to anything else.

Did you change the emulator back to lr-fceumm ? I suspect not as the log would be full of data with the change above.

Ristul

Nope, still using nestopia, I could switch back and try fceumm, one moment.
Edit, ok, so I switched back to fceumm and checked the log file, here is what come out:

BuZz

Yes please. I am tring to debug lr-fceumm with you :-)

Ristul

Alright, there you go :-)

BuZz

I would like the output of the runcommand.log as before with it not loading, and then loading when renamed as you mentioned. You can put the log on pastebin.com or similar.

When I said "show me it launching when renamed". I mean show me the log after it has successfully launched when you renamed the rom as you mentioned earlier. Not a video ;-)

Ristul

Ok, so this is with the rom renamed:

meleu

Just to register a naming convention related issue in RetroPie (actually in emulationstation):

Based on RetroArch user requests (this forum, libretro forum) and on a personal taste, I was doing some changes in the RetroArch code for a screenshot naming feature (my Pull Request at RetroArch github)

To make my tests I named a ROM with this filename really 'weird' %%ROM%% name%s%y%m.nes.

When I try to launch this ROM in emulationstation it "freezes", I'm (almost) pretty sure that it is an emulationstation limitation. How can I know it?

the runcommand dialog isn't shown;
the htop command shows only some emulationstation processes for the user pi;
if I hit ctrl+c it kills emulationstation and goes to the bash prompt;
if I execute the runcommand from the prompt to load this ROM, RetroArch starts correctly.

Command used to start from the prompt:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ nes ~/RetroPie/roms/nes/really\ \'weird\'\ %%ROM%%\ name%s%y%m.nes

Should I register it in the RetroPie's github issues?
[EDIT: I think not. It's an emulationstation issue.]

BuZz

Might be related to the fact ES uses %ROM% as a "TAG" which gets replaced, but please open an issue on the RetroPie ES github page and I will look into it at some point.

BuZz

@Ristul sorry for the late reply - I was unable to reproduce your issue on my system, but I noticed your retroarch is not up to date so I can only suggest you update to the latest retropie and see if that resolves it.

Ristul

@BuZz No problem, I will update to 4.0 as soon as it is released.

BuZz

It is out :)

Ristul

But isn't that the beta only?

Floob

@Ristul No, RetroPie 4 Final is now linked from here:
https://retropie.org.uk/download/

Ristul

@Floob Thats awesome, I will try it out right away! :D
