@cdaters hmm, and if you maintain a set of collections? (Games starting with A, Games starting with B, etc.)? This works out-of-the-box already (and the TL/TR for paging in the game list as well as the Jump to... letter in the options menu, too).

Your post breaks the 1st rule of the forums - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules.

There are no plans to 'retire' the built-in scraper, improvements are always welcomed.

@mitu Ah dang, that's too bad. Thanks for the response.

post error . Wrong thread. Sorry

@russellb you don't need to close and reopen the pull request every time you do changes in the code, just commit and push those changes and the pull request will be updated automatically.

@johne79 said in Windows Per-ROM Configuration:

When and how is /opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEM/emulators.cfg initially populated?

This is populated when an emulator is installed, by the addEmulator/addPort functions - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/85d6a78ac81baf748a335af4c5450e4f232ebe8e/scriptmodules/helpers.sh#L1388.

Excellent, thank you very much!

You mean like Netplay ?

I updated the script for version 0.243.
The data of nintendovs can contain some inaccurate games.
We will have to see later if updating this data is needed for nintendovs.

The categories in the restricted-dl part are updated to the latest rompack 0.243

0 FollyMaddy committed to FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share Update version to 0243.00 - use database 243 (which now includes neogeo, nintendovs and realistic) - convert all categories to use the force install methode (faster because recognition is skipped, easier to program/read) - added nintendovs and neogeo for recognizing under a category, when installing from a default system - added restricted parts for neogeo,nintendovs and realistic - fix index file creation for realistic, now @oro (in database) is used for this 1 FollyMaddy committed to FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share add array for restricted-downloads now we can change many categories to a new rompack with info from 1 array

@buzz Here is a link to the script on github. It currently puts the export command in .bashrc, but I tested it on my machine by putting it in /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh with no luck of the script launched by emulationstation detecting the variable. The programming is in function RAM_PIBOY_CHECK.

@olegaryto said in Add a system timer:

Imagine It, you have a local or a pub and you want your clients to enjoy using your retro console but of course you want a legit benefit.

Imagine you buy an actual arcade with licensed games - you can use a Real ™ coin acceptor, like in the old days.

Not an option for me then since I use skyscraper when ever i add new games. I really hope they add this as a feature.

@zerojay said in M.A.M.E. 0.61 SDL [DEV] - Beta3.3:

From a packaging/scriptmodule perspective, this doesn't change anything for me, but that's really cool.

The current SDL Image library available on Raspbian is an old version that use an old libpng version with a bug. In order to use HD artwork you need to compile libpng and SDL Image from source and in sequence.

So, download these archives, libpng-libpng16.zip and SDL2_image-2.0.5.zip, and copy them in

/home/pi

then run these commands from terminal:

LIBPNG

unzip libpng-libpng16.zip cd libpng-libpng16/ ./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig

SDL IMAGE

unzip SDL2_image-2.0.5.zip cd SDL2_image-2.0.5/ mkdir build cd build ../configure make -j3 sudo make install sudo ldconfig

@joyrider3774 There is a lot of factors but all we can do is mainly assume the main reasons why.

@Clyde said in Storing ROMs and other data on a remote drive:

You can set it in the file /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg via the line <bool name="ParseGamelistOnly" value="true" />.

Finally got around to try that out. I didn't notice any real difference in starting time. It spends 80%-ish of the EmulationStation load screen with "Loading system config". The total time from console to be in the UI is ~1 minute regardless if ParseGamelistOnly is set to true or false.

It might be my setup, because there's no es_settings.cfg file available so I had to create it myself:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <bool name="ParseGamelistOnly" value="true" />
