thank you, this was it! there was a kodi.sh file in the roms/ports folder ; after deleting that file, Ports is no longer showing and I can still access Kodi through it's own system.
So apparently I'm an idiot. Following the guide over at Reddit, I missed one thing. I had the mini-hdmi cable plugged into the second port and not to the port closest to the power supply. Looks like everything is working now.
I don't know how the video describes the installation, you can try ask the author of the video for guidance.
If you'd like to the try the on-going development branch for PI4 managed by RetroPie, then you'd need to perform a manual installation using a Raspbian Lite image and the fkms_rpi4 branch of the RetroPie repository. You'll need to use the command line to do that, so if you're not familiar or comfortable doing that, then you should just wait until a Pi4 supported image will be released.
@rseod Exit Emulationstation (either press F4 on the keyboard or use the menu to exit) and look at the message shown on the screen - it should show how much disc space you have available (%). If your free disc space is less than 5%, then you might have a problem and you need to free up some space.
@BuZz
Do you have an opinion on this matter?
I am thinking about
an option to enable instant save on every change in the event loop which might introduce lags depending on the system
having a background thread that saves changes which would not introduce lags but introduce more complexity into ES
here's a couple projects I've done with an LED matrix marquee
RetroPie based ==>https://www.instructables.com/id/Vertical-Bartop-Arcade-With-Integrated-PIXEL-LED-D/
PC Based ==>https://www.instructables.com/id/Arcade-Machine-With-Changing-LED-Marquee/
Here's a guide for setting up this LED marquee and RetroPie ==>http://ledpixelart.com/files/retropie/ .
Runcommand onstart and onend is used here. When a new game is launched, a script runs which passes the rom name to the LED marquee software (http://pixelcade.org) which is then displayed on the panels. Both still image PNGs and GIF animations can be displayed by game.
This project also includes artwork that has been manually re-mastered for 128x32 for that classic 8-bit look. Disclaimer, I'm the creator for this project and sell these as kits.
thanks @mitu , very much appreciate the reply. On HyperSpin, there are a few third party plug-ins (LEDBlinky and EDS) which have access to wheel scrolling events that I'm able to integrate with. EDS uses Windows Named Pipes for example to capture and trigger the events. I have a listener that receives those events via REST URL API calls http://ledpixelart.com/pixelcade-api/ and then update the LED marquee accordingly. Would be awesome to find a way to do this with RetroPie.
Now Kiosk mode enables setting and deleting favorites? Is there a way to turn this back on my end? I searched the forum for discussions, but only found this old one. I have ES in Kiosk mode and the favorites button still add/removes favorites. Any suggestions?
I have this curse...both at home and I work. I can't figure out a problem to save my life. Then, after I publicly make an ass out of myself by asking...the situation just clears itself up, as if there is some sort of cosmic force at work who wants me to constantly humiliate myself. This situation seems to be no exception. Without changing a thing, it seems to be working the way I want it to the past day or so.
@mitu Of cours, but then you mess up your rom set.
On the other hand some systems or naming conventions use rom sets which have names which are not unique. (I don't find one at the moment, but i saw such discs)
e.g.
"<Game>.cue"
"Track1.bin"
"Track2.bin"
Hi there!
I extract all the roms, configs, images, gamelists, themes, etc... and build a new sd card now with Stretch.
Now, scraper work properly.
You can close the thread. Thank you very much!
