@jdrassa thank you that's super! let me know when you've looked at adding it and I will be happy to run some tests! :)

@silver Thanks for sharing the solution.

And I didn't get around to make the aforementioned changes for your setup either, because I'm on vacation for a movie festival where I watch 2-3 movies every day over the whole week. :) About the artwork's space: Yeah, I figured as much. But none said that retrogaming is a piece of cake (and if they said that, they lied). I'll keep this on my to-do list and look forward for any updates on your side.

Ok, thanks. I found a script to cleanup gamelist.xml files in emulationstation. I think I'll give it a go. Thanks for your help!

I found a solution here in the later comments: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7843/boxart-screenshot-display-same-time/3 I had to add <marquee>./marquees/, <image>./images/ AND <video>./videos/ on each gamelist (duplicated multiples via regex) even though there's no video folder. The presence of the video field enables for a marquee to be loaded instead, when <showSnapshotNoVideo> is set to true.

Yes, other games are fine. I am quite sure it's a bug and proposing a fix here: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/592

@dudleydes thanks for the reply, I feared it would be like that. Well, I think then I just take it how it is.

Hello Issue is solved It was a problem with my amp. We can close the issue. Regards

@dult-np said in EmulationStation manually configuring gamelist.xml to open DOS folders: But I still would like to keep access to the folder... Can I add metadata to the folder? You can, but I think the process is manual - scraping might not work for folders. As an alternate method - you can use a .conf file for each game and keep the game folders in rom/pc-data. The .conf method allows you to map your PC games' folders, map CD rom images add configurations/mapper files per-gam, add additional commands to run during startup. The .conf file should be easier for scraping. See these topics for details: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15785/dosbox-local-configuration-under-the-new-setups/3 https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16595/dosbox-individual-game-config-files https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19153/solved-dosbox-custom-config-file/3

Make sure you specified the correct path where you copied the images when you edit the game. Can you post the gamelist.xml file for the system where you added the images on pastbin.com ? We can check if there are any incorrect paths there.

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. :)

@Smythius If you edit the gamelist.xml, follow Hhromic's post to change the game path to end with the folder. Or change the folder name to remove the pseudo extension ".svm" but this is kind of a loss of a working organization function. roms via samba network \\roms\scummvm\gamelist.xml roms via root directory /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/gamelist.xml alternate folder that gamelist.xml can be generated at with skyscraper /etc/emulationstation/~gamelists(???), or maybe /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/?
