@mitu, is there any chance you have your Armbian code on a public-facing git somewhere? Curious how it looks; happy to test and see how it runs for me.

There's not much there, but I have to recover it first since my Armbian system doesn't boot now due to .. experiments.

Finally the Pi's have been back intto production. This is a handy site if you are looking. Tells what's in stock and available..where it is being sold at and price. All versions of Pi's.

@mitu
Thanks a lot for the great advice! This can be closed now.

@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

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 ?

Good tinkering !

Correct the bee_card is a converter.
Originally the didn't implement it in MAME.
I think from 251 they did and sadly the from the softlist they didn't implement that the bee_card cartridge (a slot device) is loaded when a game is loaded.
So you have to do that manually or via the runcommand.

I experimented in the past with adding it with the patched runcommands.sh adding it to the standard runcommands when needed when placing these carts in a separate folder but I think I didn't implemented it.
I can however now add a slot device just like we do for certain types of systems but the bee_card only needs to be loaded when a bee_cart game is inserted.

Adding the diskdrive is basically the same story. I can see if I can add it by default. will have a look at that.

Just to clarify, as of now both the bee card and the Astron softcard games work fine when loaded as cartridges, no tinkering with the runcommands needed. Floppy disks aren't working and that might be what you're referencing but the two games requiring "adapters" just work when loaded as cartridges!

@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.
