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.

@arcadez2003 The scope of my project is to have artworks and faster emulation on RPi v0 and v1: lr-mame2003 is not fast on v0 and v1 (try to play Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Final Fight or Double Dragon on a Raspberry Pi v1...) mame4ll can't use external artworks (only harcoded ones). Clear and simple

@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.

@valerino I have got to ask Can you add a script for the Atari Jaguar CD? Also this has answered some of my prayers. Can't thank you enough.

@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.

Here is how the finished NES Cartridge should look. Remember this is my version. feel free to change it however you see fit. Regards.
