psp does appear in emulationstation - i'm not sure why we're editing es_systems.cfg

because mine does not automatically appear unfortunatelly

dankcushions

that must be some sort of bug if true. there's nothing special about psp that would make it not appear. editing es_systems.cfg is generally a bad idea.

DarkWolf

@dankcushions it wasn't in my es_system.cfg so it doesn't appear if I got the functionality of the config right

It was installed properly. why is it a bad idear ? I also had to edit the es_systems.cfg to add kodi and raspbian in retropie. Not because i had to but because i wanted to. I just did not want to have to quit retropie if i wanted to go to kodi or raspbian so this works perfectly after editing the es_systems.cfg.

If it also work with psp then it great for me

DarkWolf

@darthlink I downloaded the lr-ppsspp emulator and edited my es_system.cfg and it is showing up now, so it should work for you... As I don't want to download a rom for it I can't test it (just created a empty testrom.iso to test if it shows up)

@darthlink you shouldn't be recommending people edit es_systems.cfg if they don't know what the repercussions are especially when if psp was installed properly it should be generated by default. There is no reason it shouldn't be generating unless it either didn't install properly or user error.

DarkWolf

@herb_fargus Basicly this is totally right and I experienced this behavior before, but for me it doesn't work for ppsspp (like it doesn't for darthlink)

so I edited it manually and it works... I don't know what is going on, I'm using the latest retropie version

it is not too hard to do in a comand prompt: sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

then go in manage packages then optional packages and just choose either ppsspp or lr-ppsspp and it does install all with no error

Probleme is that even after a reboot, it was still not in retropie and not in es_systems.cfg

i have a backup of es_systems.cfg and a full backup of my raspberry pi 3 so i dont know why the fuss about giving and receiving help that may solve an issue but i am appreciating all help because this is what this is about right, helping each other.

kodi also automatically appears in ES once installed (in the ports menu). and raspbian/pixel i expect (i don't use it)

dankcushions

@darthlink my guess, you have turned 'parse gamelists only' on, in the emulationstation options. you should have it turned off.

DarkWolf

@dankcushions yes, thats true, but if you want it as a "own" system on the system carousel you have to add them to the es_systems.cfg

DarkWolf

@dankcushions well, I completely forgot about that one...

However it was turned off when I installed ppsspp and it didn't show up

do you mean there: sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh ?

i just went there and i cant find parse gamelist only ??

DarkWolf

@darthlink No, in Emulationstation press Start and go to Other Settings

darthlink

@dankcushions

kodi also automatically appears in ES once installed (in the ports menu). and raspbian/pixel i expect (i don't use it)

When i installed kodi, i did not even know about the port menu, i only found that out 2 days ago. i originally went there because i was looking for a way to add more scrapper and i found that here: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/scraper it is where i saw that there was also the ppsspp and lr-ppsspp emulator that i could install so i did it and you know the rest loll

But editing the es_systems.cfg was good for me to add both kodi and raspbian with pixel to emulationstation ;)

haaa ok, then i will only be able to try that later this evening unless there is a way to get there through ssh ?

DarkWolf

@darthlink There is:
cat /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg

it contains something like that:

<bool name="ParseGamelistOnly" value="false" />

darthlink

@DarkWolf said in lr-ppsspp emulator does not work, please help !!:

cat /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg

thx ;) so yes my pasre gamelist only value is: false

darthlink

Now my emulation wont start because its telling me that es_systems.cfg cant be loaded.

So i removed the part i changed witch was the psp part and then everything is working back again.

Can you please tell me what is wrong with my psp part that make emulationstation not loading ?

there it is:

<system>
<name>psp</name>
<fullname>playstation portable</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psp</path>
<extension>.iso .ISO .cso .CSO .pbp .PBP .zip .ZIP .rar .RAR .7z .7Z</extension>
<command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS>
<plateform>psp</plateform>
<theme>psp</theme>
</system>

herb_fargus

@darthlink not sure what a plateform is and tags have to match command does not match with ROMs.

Might just be easiest for you to delete your es_systems config and do a full install
