@windg well, the ScummVM RP documentation is not aligned with the implementation. And it will create a clutter in the scummvm/ folder, plus will rewrite the *.svm files everytime after exiting ScummVM, which is surplus.

This and the missing interop with the LR variant made me to have a design which creates a more "it just works" experience for the user.

@mitu I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this one. This must have happened when I loaded and compiled the MESS group of emulators, or when I added the Singe extension to Daphne.

At least now I know what's been causing me all the headaches. I didn't know there would be a difference in the two. The goal was to get as many emus working on my system...but obviously that created a small snafu I wasn't aware of.

So fixing this... I'll go through the RetroPie Setup repository and hopefully get back on track.

Thanks again for your help. Wow... I guess I really need to be more careful when I play around with all these fantastic emulators.

UPDATE: all is working great. I'm on the right repository, DosBox-Staging 77.1 is loaded and all is good. This can be closed.

@Gobon-Shiteinga If your Pi crashes, or you have to do a manual reset, it will not save anything.

You have to exit your emulator 'cleanly', then turn off your system or restart your system in ES to make sure your data is saved.

You can get a Windows binary for the current RetroPie EmulationStation from here.

Not sure why you're using an old image instead of a recent one (4.5 should have been available 6 months ago), but you don't need to configure the 2nd player if you already have configured P1 - their configuration should be identical if you're using just 1 encoder. If you configured P1 through EmulationStation, the auto-configuration files should be already present.

Two other popular scrapers, Selph's Scraper and Skyscraper, also support Screenscraper accounts, although not via the Retropie interface, but by their command line options and config files.

See The Docs and [these] [two] topics for more information about them.

Then the exit shortcut would be Tab + Key1.

@mitu I made a mistake in my testing, I beleive python-uinput my work

@nikosfx180 said in Help to run script before emulation station start:

@mitu two people here are making machines and sell extra images on sd cards and the images are free on the internet.

it's not the first time scammers are using the forum for support.

So ihave spend lot of time on my image to crate something good and i dont want to copy this people the image and sell it with cabinets and make money with my image.

Selling RetroPie images is against the project's license. You're nothing but a scammer.

@dankcushions Case solved. The log obviously does generate and the roms do work. It was just a bit embarassing mix-up on my end regarding file formats.

It did work :) I was away from the pi so I wanted to ask clarification before doing it.

Was not because of lack of thrust; I simply like to know what am I doing and what happens when I do something :) Thanks!

@Maynard it's the same file, retroarch-joypads is a symlink to the autoconfig folder.

@mitu great. thanks for the help!

You can load as much as you want, but u will have a visual glitch in mune if your chossen theme miss this system, so the most completed theme i tasted out there is Supersweet them : https://github.com/RetroHursty69/es-theme-supersweet
And uniflyered theme : https://github.com/RetroHursty69/es-theme-uniflyered

Also art book , is one of awsome classy theme which i really love and if it miss a system you have it bult to use a really cool font to look like that it's ok , and you can add any missing theme easly .

And belive me iam really have a huge collection of systems, so i always become sad when a lovely theme miss a system

Use raspi-config and configure the system to auto-login to the console. If EmulationStation doesn't start automatically after a reboot, then use the setup script to enable the autostart of EmulationStation - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi.

Is there any reason you're not using the RetroPie image directly ?

@markett Thanks for this, I've been trying the all day without understanding why it was not working. You saved my day my friend!

Use another front-end, maybe ?
