@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 ?

@folly
For Atari Portfolio, i’ll do an artwork with 3 views (complet system, no artwork and zoom) after my vacation.

Nice, looking forward to it.

Have a nice vacation !

@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" />

@mitu might be easier to take the amiberry route and use the generated retroarch configs.

Works with existing configs then and will be more reliable.

@2play

Hi. Is this where you post issues with this script?

Seems since I last upgraded to Retroarch 1.9.5 lr-puae stopped loading .lha based files. Worked perfectly before this.

Every game I pick now opens, starts to load... then pops up an black Amiga DOS error screen that says..

unknown command FAILAT

1

*** nevermind... it was the CPU setting left on A500. Should have been A1200 or Auto.

But, if anyone ever sees this error message... take a look in Options and check your CPU settings.

@ElRafilla It's not exactly the same issue - the poster didn't have any video output, you seem to have it working until launching a game. Open a new topic and add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@inolen one more question...is it possible to make save input for a specific game or a specific button to switch from gamepad to axis controler. The problem is mainly that I'm also using two Hori Fight Sticks mini 4, so there is only a stick (gamepad) :) In some games there is the main controler the axis or gamepad. So every time I want to play a different game I have to reconfigure the controller from axis to gamepad or vice versa.

This is just a wish (feature?:) )...nothing more :) If it's to complicate to implement or configure then don't bother :)

Thank you again for your QUICK and mostly EFFECTIVE anwsers :)

@chataigne73 said in Compile emulationstation without video preview:

Is it possible to compile emulationstation without video preview feature, and thus without the need of VLC libraries ?

No, you'll have to modify the sources to remove the VLC dependency. Or use the original project's sources from EmulationStation.org, which doesn't have the video feature included.
