@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.

without source code and a corresponding build script it's unlikely to get much traction here, IMO. i think it's a cool idea so i hope you reconsider.

@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.

@jamrom2 said in new scriptmodules (lr-vice-xvic, gsplus, proper lr-mess integration!): @valerino Hi. I was just informed by another user (gpmcty) who read that in order to get the lr-atari800 core to work, you have to unplug your USB controller.... and he is correct. Nothing works unless I yank out my controller right after I select the game in the Emulationstation menu. This is for the Atari800 side and A5200 side of the lr-atari800 core. Is anyone working on a fix for this? Once the core starts... it works great and there are no further issues. Thanks! Sounds like something to report to upstream: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-atari800

@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.

@Rion Yes, your right. I don't know thus until now. Thank you! I think this topic can marked as "solved" and be closed.

@StigNasty said in Another total noob question: Two questions: 1. What does this mean? 2. How do I do this? It means you've been using a development branch of the RetroPie-Setup script and that branch (version) will be deleted, so you'll not be able to update in the future. From the command line, execute the following: cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git reset --hard git checkout master OR cd $HOME sudo rm -fr ./RetroPie-Setup git clone https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup

I’m surprise nobody figure out how to run other emulators using blast16. Even loading cores in retroarch is impossible. 😢

personally, if i was doing this i would make a fork in github with my changes, and then edit the retropie build script to point at it, then compile it through retropie - update via source. eg https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/emulators/mupen64plus.sh#L32 if i made a change to the master branch of my fork of mupen64plus-core, i would this line to 'dankcushions core' note that when you edit retropie scripts the script updater will complain when you come to update it.
