My pleasure. See the AM Wiki for example filters. If you go this path in the end, maybe you could share your steps to a working AM/Retropie setup in a little How-To? 🙂

So I've come up with my own solution. I changed /opt/retropie/config/scummvm/emulators.cfg default entry to point to a custom launcher script of my own: #!/bin/bash game="$1" pushd "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm" >/dev/null /opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --fullscreen --joystick=0 --extrapath="/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/extra" -p "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/$game.svm" --auto-detect popd >/dev/null And then I just make sure the scummvm rom directories end in ".svm". This custom script utilizes the --auto-detect flag so that scummvm figures out what game it is. So far in my testing it works. Obviously this launcher script could use some work, but it's doing the job so far.

Unfortunately, yes, it is

@quicksilver, Thank you for your reply

@skrilmps said in can't access MAME 2003+ (libretro) in-game menu: cy no problems at all always use then menu to set options code can change any time.

@Bluebotlabs If it's not in the documentation, then it's not supported.

@barbudreadmon thanks.

@mitu I've only been tinkering with it so far, but this doesn't seem to be the case. When I create such a file, I still have to drill down through the subfolders to play the game, despite the xml file pointing directly at the rom. I do believe i had that option checked, but maybe I'm misremembering. I will test this again. [update] I just checked. I do have that option enabled. I am still have to drill down through subfolders. I also know it's working because other games are now missing though the files are present in the directory (but not in the xml). I'm assuming this is an intentional functionality (gameslist doesn't flatten directories).

If editing files around is not something you're familiar, then my suggestion is to find a system with a bit more performance and has the righ GPU. Even if you'd manage to get EmulationStation working, other programs/emulators might have similar requirements and you'd be struggling to make it work.

@ferhound Copy the file first to your home folder (pi/temp for example) and then to /usr/share/pyshared with sudo mc (midnight commander).

So I went back and looked it up. It was in the autostart.sh. I deleted a line and it works and I still get to keep my background music. Thanks for your time :).

@ElrasM said in False controller inputs: But nevertheless any suggestions for my problem? First, xboxdrv should not be installed unless you really know how to use it. It's not a real device driver, but emulates an Xbox compatible controller. The xpad is usually used for X360/Xbox controllers. If that doesn't work, then it means you're encountering the same issue. Is there any chance that there is a seperate file for controller input detection in ES? The configuration for EmulationStation's input is in \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_input.cfg. You can verify there that your input is mapped correctly and there are no button overlaps. You can also start EmulationStation with the --debug flag and it will log the inputs pressed.

@JJRambo the point is that only the creator knows what is in his creation. This concerns all kind of things, not only a retropie-image. So i have no idea who you could ask to get a really good answer. You could ask people somewhere else what they are guessing.....but in usual it does not help.

Oh that's interesting. I'm using the default driver, I guess rotation did not work for emulationstation when it was done through config.txt. However adding the --screenrotate, it definitely worked. I'm also looking at the script they provided to set it upt. https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show/blob/master/MPI4008-show sudo echo "dtoverlay=ads7846,cs=1,penirq=25,penirq_pull=2,speed=50000,keep_vref_on=0,swapxy=0,pmax=255,xohms=150,xmin=200,xmax=3900,ymin=200,ymax=3900" >> ./boot/config.txt.bak Guess I need to be using the ads7846 driver instead of the default one. For now I'm just happy it worked. Thanks.

@Morotezuki - I would definitely check your local laws especially for something worthwhile as non-profit that helps other people. I've seen it more than once where you can legally rent arcade machines for non-profit use in the US. The key being a rental or even donations for non-profits/charities. After working with local law enforcement for 20+ years they would be hard pressed to turn something like that over to the State's Attorney or Attorney General for prosecution let alone those offices wanting to take the man hours and resources away from serious felony crimes. I've watched street cops make decisions off intent (was it good or bad) and they chose not to cite any type of citation, ticket or arrest due to that intent. When there's no unlawful intent they will usually leave it to the parties to find a resolution. Intent makes all the difference in deciding how to proceed. You can actually sue someone throwing paper on your lawn (or anything for that matter) but it introduces two challenges. Finding a lawyer to take your case would be near impossible (try calling a few and explain a weird situation, they'll have you off the phone before you can say prosecute) let alone a judge to rule in favor of a crime that opens the judicial system to abuse and tying up courts for petty crimes. It's like staying off the FBI's top 50 list of crimes. If you do it's more than likely you'll never see them knocking on your door, literally true. Should we go after the Pac-Man player trying to feed the homeless or a "new" serial killer or drug dealer dropping 5 keys of coke on the streets weekly. No contest. I imagine most of the members on the forums use ROMs illegally but the laws don't deter us old gamers much from doing what we love and I don't imagine they care that much. Anyway I would check your laws as there's usually a legal workaround especially when folks are trying to help law enforcement, juveniles or feeding the homeless, hungry, etc. They aren't there to strictly enforce the law to the letter or make a community miserable when it comes to doing good. Basically doing good for a community at large is a healthy great idea. I wouldn't give up trying to do good things! :)

Worth it not to have to worry about a sensor bar. I'm getting them for my arcade, but would also like to use them for my computer. Moving the sensor bar around could cause problems with the wire.
