Updated emulationstation (v.2.4.0RP) and random select is now crashing to terminal.

pjft

Not yet. When it's approved, you will be able to update it by:

Updating RetroPie-Setup script
Manage Core Packages > EmulationStation > Update from source

No need to update all packages.

I'll let you know when it's approved, though.

theWinterDojer

@pjft Excellent, thank you and great work!

pjft

@theWinterDojer This has now been merged.

If you exit ES, open RetroPie-Setup, and then proceed by:

Updating RetroPie-Setup script
Manage Core Packages > EmulationStation > Updating from source

It should be good.

theWinterDojer

@pjft Perfect, will update when I get home. Thanks again.

BuZz

@thewinterdojer Binaries for RPI are now updated.

theWinterDojer

@buzz Well this just keeps getting better. Thank you.

@pjft One more thing I forgot to ask/mention. In my es_log.txt, there are a lot of these instances:

lvl2: 	Couldn't find entry in index! 1
lvl2: 	Couldn't find entry in index! FALSE

It seems to mainly appear under systems that have no roms in them. Any reason for concern or can it be ignored safely?

pjft

@maplestory they're safe to ignore, though they ideally wouldn't be there. I should remove those or make them less scary: they're just stating that they're trying to remove an entry from the filter index (for filtering the gamelist), but they can't find a corresponding entry.

Do they show up on empty systems, is that it?

That can help me chase those down. I see them every now and then but can't consistently track them.

MapleStory

@pjft Mostly in empty systems, although there were 9 instances under Game Boy Color (which does indeed have roms). Here's the log itself, if it helps. This is after a fresh reboot using the up-to-date Carbon theme:

@maplestory I see. What mame systems do you have set up as well? Advance mame? MAME libretro?

pjft

Nevermind.

These are completely safe. I'll handle these properly in a future update.

If you're interested in the technical details:

Short version:

These are a result of the initial loading process, scraping for folders where ROMs may be, and if they end up being empty, deleting them.

Long version:

I recently forced the deletion of "FileData" instances to remove themselves from the index of the respective systems, as there was an edge case of the users potentially deleting a file and the index not being updated. Alas, empty folders aren't added to the index (as intended), but we were attempting to remove them anyway. It was handling it correctly, but it was letting us know that it couldn't find one such entry.

Thanks for flagging this. It's harmless, but I can see how it can look scary!

MapleStory

@pjft Thanks for clearing everything up, totally makes sense. I thought it was a bit alarming when I saw the filesize of the log compared to how it was before having updated emulationstation...thought maybe I had cluttered up some gamelists somehow! lol

Also, I'm sure it probably doesn't matter now but I only had 4 roms in mame-libretro.

pjft

@maplestory Correct. It doesn't matter. Those lines relate to the extra folders - nvram, etc.

Thanks for reporting! Hope you're having fun.
