Shall we also make some gamelists for megaplay and playchoice10 ?
-
It's already covered by site like Screenscraper and others with MAME system
-
Off-course, I will try ;-)
Edit :
Well I tried in emulationstation, but it only works if I have the files in the arcade folder.
Screenscraper doesn't add a picture to it.
The gamesDB doesn't recognise correctly.Scraping isn't really a nice solution, if you ask me.

It works with screenscraper. You have to add a system and customize the rom path in SKRAPER

@Folly @DTEAM @testudo Does the Mess-Archimedes work now with .adf (not the amiga type) files such as Hamsters? I have not been able to find a bios file or files that have made it run. :(

@DTEAM @Folly and how do you do this? what do you actually type? etc?
These are examples on how to create gamelists.xml's manually together with media we put them in the ~/RetroPie/roms/<your_system> folder.
These above gamelists overrule the standard gamelists, that are created when scraping and saved in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/<your_system> folder .Just use a text editor to edit a gamelist.xml.

@duglor
All of my Archimedes roms are in .adf format. I can run Hamsters .adf file under the mame-aa440-bios_310-4Mb-flop emulator option. -

mame-aa440-bios_310-4Mb-flop emulator optio
@follyOk. and How do you run the emulator using that option? Is that something you create yourself like a batch file? Is it something you type into the screen before you click on the little disk icon? Is it something that you choose in retroarch? I think once i can run the emulator with that option, i'll be fine. Right now i can click on the disks but only 2 games have worked so far :) the others bring up i/o files and errors and such. Be well all!

No problem discussing a bit of topic but we reserved this thread for discussing "Creating gamelists" only.
If you make use of the "add-system-mamedev.sh" 3rd party module-script then you can discuss elsewhere,
over how to install the system archimedes and how to run games for a paricular system :

@testudo Btw, is that the demo or full version of Hamsters? I think the demo is 800 kb and the full version is 1600 kb.
-Doug
I have the demo working fine. Full version is not happy.
Great job on the emulator!!

Anyone create an ES gamelist with box covers or screenshots for the Acorn Archimedes that can be imported into one's archimedes directory?
-
@duglor have you tried the scraper I told you about?

Here's what I made for my library. You are welcome to use any you like.
Cleaned up Gamelist and added additional ROMs and Images.

@testudo Hey, Thanks for sharing!!!
I hope cds and hard drive directories can be used by the Archimedes Emu one day!! -

I did come across a full version. It is out there, but does not run on MAME. I tested it using Arculator and it runs great.

Added Zarch and Quazer to Gamelist and Images@testudo @Folly Thanks Testudo! Do you want that on my Goolge Drive for the project?

Perhaps you have already noticed.
I am testing and helping to improve this retroscraper script :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/32226/soft-new-scraper-in-the-worksIt has been improved very much the last week.
@kiro added also the possibility to scan unknown systems, so now our unknown categories can also be scanned.I will keep in your/our pre-made konamih, tigerh gamelists in the script, because they are really nice and complete.
There are a more things that need to be added to the retroscraper but I am very pleased with it.
If somehow a module-script can be made for installing the retroscraper I want to try and implement this solution into the add-systems-mamedev.sh.
Then a system can be scraped without making pre-made gamelists with media.I think this is the route we have to take for the future.
What do you think ?
