Very special case. But you can save the import part. However, some manual steps are required:

Copy the pq1-amiga.svm to the ~/RetroPie/roms/amiga/ folder.

Find the Amiga video (I guess you already did that).

e.g, https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=34415&action=onglet&zone=gameinfosmedias

Navigate to the ROM/ISOs latch and pick a checksum and use it in the query parameter.

Run Skyscraper -p amiga -d /tmp --flags videos -s screenscraper --query="md5=2c4827513db0e45eed77d20d290fa17d" ~/RetroPie/roms/amiga/pq1-amiga.svm.

Find the video for "Police Quest" from screenscraper in the scummvm Skyscraper DB file, usually ~/.skyscraper/cache/scummvm/db.xml (type="video" source="screenscraper" with the matching resource id for Policy Quest). Note the resource id.

Copy the amiga video into the scummvm cache, e.g.:

cp /tmp/videos/screenscraper/494148112002ee474500cc10cbd212b1dedc5bd0.mp4 ~/.skyscraper/cache/scummvm/videos/<just-noted-resource-id>.mp4

It could be that the resource id is identical between Amiga and ScummVM, as the Skyscraper resource id is calculated from the filename and not from the file content for *.svm files. I did not verify this, but I assume it will be the case.

Added a few new things for people to enjoy

- lr-bennugd - BennuGD as a libretro core - lr-dice - DICE core for libretro - gsplus - Apple IIgs emulator

im still going through and seeing what i can fix with my old stuff before i mess with anything new. but i do have some thing in line i want to see if i can get working

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Catastrophic lr-VICE failure:

Ah, found it:

sudo chown pi:pi /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-vice

Did that for the main and subfolder and managed to replace the crappy broken new files with the working old ones. All fixed. Thanks for the reply :)

I see how you have done it otherwise you would not be able to replace the files.
If you don't mind you can leave it that way.
However, notice that these folders normally have root user rights.
In principle you should turn them back to root.

@Chuckgofer Thanks for the confirmation.

@rhester72 said in joy2key_sdl.py doesn't support my controller:

To make RA happy, I had to hand-configure the controller in Retroarch (GUI) itself and save from there, which produced the "not-normalized" device name in the configuration file.
[..]

OK, so the other possibility of a device name mismatch is the configuration being created outside of EmulationStation's scripts - in this case via RetroArch itself. In any case, this kind of setups will hopefully be better supported by joy2key in the future.

had the similar issue and

Here it is, I've updated via setup script

use_art = "0"
disable_joystick = "0"
governor = ""
disable_menu = "0"
image_delay = "2"

@sleve_mcdichael thank you
I have learnt a good lesson today
I do really appreciate it
