@dwarfboysim Start with Emulationstation input mapping and see if it fixes the RA problem. Have you done additional configuration for your gamepad besides the mapping in Emulationstation ?

Grow up. Go troll facebook or something.

I tried what you suggested but it didn't work. Not sure why.

But I did come up with a solution that works.

<?xml version="1.0"?> <gameList> <folder> <name>a</name> <path>./a</path> </folder> <folder> <name>b</name> <path>./b</path> </folder> <folder> <name>c</name> <path>./c</path> </folder> <game> <path>./a/aaaa.zip</path> </game> <game> <path>./b/bbbb.zip</path> </game> <game> <path>./c/cccc.zip</path> </game> </gameList>

@mitu Ok, never mind. It appeared.

@tredelijkheid said in Trying to add a new system - stuck already with the system.svg...:

someone could look at the file and tell me what is wrong. Again, it looks quite OK but in ES it does not.

I quickly checked the file and it seems ok, as you said.
I noticed the image "size" (dimension of the page in inkscape) is quite big compared to usual system svgs. ES does scale it but sometimes that scaling has issues.
I would suggest you open one of the existing ES system.svgs (or any of my custom system icons) , save it with a different name, delete all objects (making it "empty"), open your sinclair svg, select all objects and paste them in the "empy" svg, group all objects and save.
That should fix your problem.

Problem solved, I did
sudo nano /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg to get to the file you write the system code and I just deleted what I wrote concerning Kodi as a standalone system. Then I saved it and opened Emulation Station and it was fine. I think what happened is since I couldn't do ~/RetroPie/roms/kodi I just copied what the other ones had there instead.

Figured out how to do it indirectly.

In \retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg
<system>
<name>mame-mame4all</name>
<fullname>Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/roms</path>
<extension>.zip .ZIP</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS mame-mame4all %ROM%</command>
<platform>arcade</platform>
<theme>mame-mame4all</theme>
</system>

In \retropie\configs\mame-mame4all\mame.cfg
rompath=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all
samplepath=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/samples

Put all game zips in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/
Duplicate empty zero byte zip file names under /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/roms to generate the menu in subdirs.

This also fixes issue where sample.zips shows up in emulation station menu.

@edmaul69 said in Nintendo Controllers Not Working in game.:

@justintoxicated if you had just deleted the cobfigs you created for 5 controllers in your /all/retroarch.cfg you would have been ok.

I don't think so because reverting the config file through a re-install did not fix the issue.

@deano1349 install the playstation emulator and roms.

@ChristianG ha! That is far from true.....I just try to learn as much as possible. Take a look at some other threads were I am asking others for help with coding and scripts.

I will have a look at your other thread.

Did you happen to resolve the issue? I've been having the same problem and can't seem to get around it.

My guess is that the best way to do this is to install Linux (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04) to a USB drive and make it bootable.
Then boot into Linux from that USB stick, and install Retropie following the instructions on the RetroPie website for x86/64 Ubuntu.

When you want to enter the world of RetroPie, simply boot the USB stick from the computer UEFI/BIOS boot menu.

I imagine that you'll want to use a fairly large USB stick to hold all the ROMs you wish to use.
64GB or even 128GB would almost certainly get you the bulk of the decent emulators.

@dosch said in Back to ES from CLi:

I launched the RetroPie-Setup script from the CLI. In there I went to script>>Configuration / tools>>autostart and changed it back to Start EmulationStation at Boot.

I just did this again, but then used the option in the same menu to reboot the system, instead of doing a reboot from the CLI. Now it boots back into ES.

Thank you for your help @obsidianspider, but I guess it fixed itself ;-)

Maybe someday... but not today. (sigh)

echo -e "CPU => $(echo "scale=1; $(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp)/1000" | bc)'C\nGPU => $(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp | sed "s/^.....//g")"

This is an alternate script that will show both GPU and CPU Temps that you could use in place of the one listed above.

@gassyninja87 Please start a new topic providing more information as detailed in the link below

I finally decided to address this on my Genesis Pi and tweaking the es_systems.cfg file also fixed it for me. Thanks again to everyone for your support.

@Chip1184 have you restarted Emulation Station since adding the ROMs? As @BuZz says, please read the wiki for first time setup guidelines.
