@mitu Will do, thanks!

Sometimes gameplay snaps loop with no problem. Can you perhaps give any insights on why sometimes the snaps freeze after about 15 seconds, but then play ok when I back out of the menu and repload?

@mitu Thanks for your answer, i figured it out what was the problem.
During the pandemic the manufacture of my controller boards changed some parts on the controller boards that causes these crashes.
I found a fix online where you have to add this line to the end of the /boot/cmdline.txt
usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x00000400

after a reboot, my emulationsstation never crashed again, I hope this will help someone who has the same problem.

Can you run EmulationStation with debug logging and upload the log ? Exit ES, then run it with emulationstation --debug, reproduce the issue and then post the log file on pastebin.com.
The log file is in $HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt.

I've tried the steps you mention in reproducing the error, but as far as I see omxplayer stops once the screensaver is stopped.

Do you have any additional configurations in ES - namely any external scripts tied to the ES Scripting API ?

@mitu I tried to install the RetroFix theme
It was confirmed that the function of the theme was not supported normally.

First, the system does not seem to support video output and path {random}.

Second, since the minimum size of the image cannot be specified in the grid view, the size ratio of the image is not constant. Moving the selection cursor changes the size of the selected ones, but I hope to ensure a consistent size from the beginning.

There are other minor issues.

For who is interested, I have build Mesa 22.0.1, SDL 2.0.20 and EmulationStation from source code on latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite and all work as expected (Full KMS and other stuff)

@Folly said in Creating ES gamelists with media for MAME/lr-mess:

Screenscraper doesn't add a picture to it.

It works with screenscraper. You have to add a system and customize the rom path in SKRAPER

@pjft said in [ES-dev Bug Report] "Hidden" filter fails at system level after entering a subfolder and returning:

@roslof Well, check fps as well

I can create a new thread if desired, since this work is a bit off topic -- but for now, here we go:

First off, my theme is heavy, leveraging (among other things) one large 1160x1080 .jpg per system, and using roughly 80-90 systems.

VRAM LIMIT is set to 200Mb

I ran through the flow again (UI MODE from FULL --> KIOSK --> FULL) using the ES flow, and there is definitely a major performance hit during and after each subsequent load for the duration of the session.

Most notable side affects:

Load times increase dramatically Navigation through the systems UI* eventually becomes uncontrollable, as the system continues to move through games, and player input is ignored FPS tanks during step #2 above

At idle, ES reports Tex Max increases dramatically:

At Boot: 626.99 After two (2) Swaps: 930.43

All other stats remain the same after swaps.

Also, at idle, using htop, some stats increase:

VIRT: 899M --> 937M RES: 653M --> 687M CPU: 25.7% --> 32.2% MEM: 38.6% --> 40.6%

However, when hitting F4 to exit ES, then typing "exit" at console to re-launch ES, everything going back to original values. I believe using QUIT | RESTART EMULATIONSTATION also clears the performance problem.

Lastly, an early check indicates a similar, if not identical issue when switching ES Themes back and forth.

Again, hope this information is helpful.

@dankcushions I have dreamcast/3do/ps1. god of war for example can improve dramatically when overclocking. although it missed the point of retro

Oh.

Sorry.

I don't think I read your first post correctly.

Here's a better video, about 13 minutes in length if you have the time.

He covers everything quite well.

@machtroid said in Installing a different version of Emulationstation:

So my question would be, if I install Emulationstation from this source, will it "hook up" to all of the places it needs to in retroarch (configs and such)

No, it will not - it won't even start, since it expects the Batocera filesystem layout and it won't be able to create/save the configuration file.

@chizzer
We've all been there. In fact I just recently was scripting some batch file operations and introduced a space after something that broke it all. Gotta love those facepalm moments.

Glad you got it sorted now.

@mitu Yea tbh I'm not sure what it uses, I just thought I would take a chance incase anyone knew.

@gamre And yet you still haven't answered the specific questions.
Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu said in Image inside folder wont load:

RetroBat

Thanks, my idea basicly is having a GUI to redirect all my roms to the best emulator, and if is open source is always better :)

@jharvey25 Sorry but we don't support 3rd party images. Please install RetroPie from this site and if you have an issue please check https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and provide details of your setup.

You've probably modified one of the start-up services which you shouldn't have. Post the contents of /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh file from your system.

@stuckinthe90s You are using a disposable email address which is bouncing. Please switch to a working non disposable address or I will have to remove/disable your account.

The dot at the beginning of a directory name will be hidden by default on a Linux box I believe. (" . es" would be hidden. "es" would not.) That may help you track down more files.
