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/?

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).

Had a similar problem with an old Ipega GamePad. Pair with BlueTooth with some re-connect issues, but worked with jstest and evtest.

Adding the udev rule helped with emulationstation, but only the left joystick works in RetroArch.

Running RetroPie 4.5.1 with updates. Any suggestions?

Can someone update this topic with a new, working command?

The solutions in this topic no longer work

@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
