At first blush this sounds decent. I'm not sure how ES is coded, but flexibility is almost always a good thing.

@merkury187 said in video snaps and core help: How do you enable Use Local Art? I have my videos named "romname.mp4" so I will rename them to "romname-video.mp4" Open the Emulationstation menu with Start and try looking through the available options - I think it's in the UI sub-menu (?). Also, so that is what that little pop up box is for, not sure how I missed that in the Docs. What does this part mean: "(the bottom face button is recommended as to not accidentally change anything) " ? Use the A or B buttons.

Thanks for this quick reply.

@Retrobat please add more info about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu strangely I do have access to the UI settings (full, kiosk, kid) now, which is what I wanted.

Thanks @mitu @Efriim Apologies not to answer before. Turned off OMX and everything same with arcade game videos (some of them). Tried to convert with handbrake w/o any scrift (very easy to do...and tried some different configurations) but no luck. The only option was to download .mp4 from YouTube...and works and I dont know why. Its rare because the video was the same from the beginning I was made couple months ago and did work perfect, so its not a Skraper/XML problem...I think EmulationStaion is on the last build 2.8.3RP Anyway, many very thanks.

@DrFunkenstein said in Pi Zero Won't Boot Under Any Circumstances: Another idea: Is there some way to check if the Zero itself is faulty? Get another SD and see if things change with it. From the looks of it, sounds like a SD card problem. If you manage to boot, run from the command line dmesg > log.txt and try to upload the resulting log.txt file to pastebin.com. That's the system log contents.

Awesome. Thank you. :)

I use Skyscrapper to generate the XML file https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper I edited the XML file to remove "/comi.svm" it's work. Thanks

We don't support 3rd party images - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download and build your own.

@mitu Thanks for the help, without your help I would have been stuck in the kiosk mode

@mitu, I'll check the script but to me the fact that the source code of ES refers to the buttons by two different names is incorrect. Emulationstation works with more than 1 type of controller and/or keyboard. The fact that it works fine for a lot of other people contradicts your observation. Anyway, I have to say that I didn't download the full package at first. I mean I only downloaded the source code of ES to compile, then when I realised I missed the themes I installed the configuration script. I need to do more testing though. If you didn't install the package correctly, then you'll get incorrect results. Install the package from the RetroPie-Setup package - the stable version - then re-configure your controller and see if the .cfg file is correctly generated.

I love the search function. Just wanted to say this helped me get my Windows 10 build scraped! Thank you! 🥂

@Akyita said in UI Feedback Sounds: -Is there a way to put more sounds? No, Emulationstation doesn't have support for other sounds other than the gamelist navigation (scrolling through games).

Thanks but I appear to have found the problem. It seems that udev was blocking the new controller. Creating a new udev rule seem to have corrected the issue. For anyone else having this problem, first identify the name of your controller. There are several ways you can do this but the simplest it probably to just look through the system logs. With the controller connected (either via bluetooth of hardwire) cat the messages log. sudo cat /var/log/messages You'll need to look through the messages for the right device name but if you just plugged in the controller or connected it via bluetooth it should be near the bottom. It may even be the last entry in the log.

I hope this is helpful for someone! If nothing else I'm sure I'll be back here one day trying to figure out what I need to do again. :-P

@mitu FIXED!!! this is what i've done so far for everyone that want to know how i fixed it. i've made a .bat file inside the emulator root folder with the code you said (also .cmd doesn't work, it needs to be .bat) cd /d "%~dp0" //%~dp0 search where the .bat is located. that's why i put it on model 2 emulator root folder Emulator.exe %~1 if you want absolute rute just put cd /d d:\RETROCAKE\Emulators\M2emulator Emulator.exe %~1 (remember to put your emulator path, don't copypaste) on es_systems.cfg you put this <system> <name>Model 2</name> <fullname>Sega Model 2</fullname> <path>**ROM PATH**</path> <extension>.zip .ZIP</extension> <command>**emulator path**\**bat name**.bat %BASENAME%</command> </system> if you have roms in other folder, put them on emulator.ini Dir1: *//path of the roms* also make sure that this Dir and the es_system.cfg dir is the same Thank you all, you can close it if you want :D EDIT: One problem i had with this method is that when you press ESC button to exit, it goes windowed instead of closing. so i've made an .ahk script for closing Model 2 and .bat file when pressing ESC. Keep in mind that you need Autohotkey on your PC. you can launch it with the cmd command Esc:: { Winclose, ahk_exe Emulator_multicpu.exe Winclose, ahk_exe Emulator.exe Winclose, ahk_exe cmd.exe ExitApp } (keep in mind that if you open cmd for whatever reason with autohotkey enable, pressing ESC will close it) if you want to add autohotkey to the .bat file, put this after the model 2 code: cd /d "%~dp0"/AutoHotkey tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq AutoHotkey.exe" | find /i "AutoHotkey.exe" > nul ||(start AutoHotkey.exe) pause This will open it the first time and if it's already open, it will don't open again

@BJRetro, That would be great, I've played around in Emulation Station and RetroArch and have not figured that part out. I'd love to map an exit game, restart game, save state and load state button. The hot key works great but since the button kit I got has the extra buttons I'd love to use them. I also got it so that the hot key + exit, restart, save, load works but would be great if a press without the hot key worked.

Excuse me I was wrong. I was using ARRM to sort gamelist. It worked perfect. But I didn't close emulationstation and it didn't save the changes. Now is perfect Thanks

@mitu said in Sound card selectable from emulationstation: Press Start and look at the menu - the version is at the bottom. Ups, it was really simple: v2.8.2RP @mitu said in Sound card selectable from emulationstation: you can add your command line toggle at the beginning of the of the autostart.sh script Thanks, I'll try to do it with this script while I'm still investigating if it's possible to get this from the Emulationstation UI
