@dankcushions Thanks a lot, my Problem is solved :-) :-)

@pedrohead super, im glad it worked out

@kif Please open a new topic, don't bump old topics.

@vretro your welcome.

I think some of the emulators support per rom configurations but not sure about all of them.

Check out this link:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4524/per-rom-core-config-file/3

If anyone did try to help, don't worry I ditched the mini keyboard and went for a standard USB one. Solved

@Hockmiester why dont you just open the file /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg and manually add them? But you need to undo whatever configs you created.

@paffley Glad to hear you got everything working.

Regards metadata, have you tried Steven Selph's Scraper?

You could try using the scraper on your PC . Download the relevant version here and place the binary in a folder containing your roms. They can be from any system but not a mixture of MAME and consoles as they use different databases.

Running the scraper will create a gamelist.xml file and a folder containing boxart which you can place in your roms folder on your pi. If you want to keep your scraped data in configs/all/emulationstation, then you have to use the -image_path flag (or use the find and replace facility in a text editor).

@Xyb0t said in Performance boos due to lower resolution??:

@dankcushions Well, i understand that scaling might not mean a lot, but rendering i guess will take it's toll??

they're the same thing. you can't 'render' a NES game in a higher resolution than 240x224 (or whatever it is natively). a higher render resolution just means it's scaled to that by the GPU. same with psx, etc.

(with shaders it becomes different)

How can i test for myself? Is there some form of on-screen FPS counter that i can switch on?

select + x to get to the RGUI. settings > video > show fps counter.

@AndersHP Yes, all osd messages.

It works perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!

Thank you, it completely make sense and it explains my problem. Is this possible to know which other files are changed by the script? I did not configure specific controls for any emulator, i am only using all/retro arch.cfg which works actually : control mapping is done from that file only as far as I know for my config and that's why I assumed restoring this file + input.cfg would be enough.

Sorry if I am not clear but I don't know how to explain further.

try mine config as shown in link above

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've completely deleted the emulator and any files associated with it and reinstalled it, and I still get the same issue. I've tried changing the number of devices it's looking for in reicast.sh, I've checked and double checked the controller configs for both my PS3 and Xbox controllers to make sure they were set and named correctly and pointed at from emu.cfg. I've deleted my configs and reconfigured each controller at least twice to make sure that wasn't the issue. Verified both bios files and redownloaded again for good measure. Downloaded a gdi version of the same game just to see if cdi was the issue. I'm out of ideas on what to try next.

I was seeing a similar issue with my setup and after enabling some script debugging I was seeing the following result from the dpkg-query command:

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ dpkg-query -W '--showformat=${Status} ${Version}' lsb-release
Segmentation fault

This lead me to some articles about refreshing this package so after running:

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install dpkg

I was back to being able to successfully complete a run of the /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh command again.

@meleu
The code should be ok but some of the provided shader/overlay configuration files are referring to absolute pathes that do not exist that way on RPis (e.g. Path to shader crt-pi).

@sirhenrythe5th said in Change Order that Systems are Displayed on Home Screen:

So that means that even if you get the sorting managed as you like it to be, "Favourites" will be displayed between "E" and "G".

I think the collections are shown first, then the normal systems. So any collections will show up before any actual systems.

I will try to use pastebin, but as i only have a smartphone and the Pi itself i have to tinker a little bit :)

You can post from the command line:

curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io < $HOME/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg`
