Oops, sorry about that. Have updated the original post.

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Turrican (hurricane clone) black screen:

[EDIT: just dumped all the files from 5.2 into /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/sorr and it works a treat now.]

Glad you got it working, if any of the ports dont work, then they need the data files from another source, which you are on your own to provide.

Here is the link to my post here about all the scripts in Extras

post your questions and findings there, so everything is in one place

Please don't re-post the same topic multiple times.

@TPR said in How can I create a "list of games" - Just the titles only?:

Clearly, Emulation Station must pull the data from somewhere to display it on my screen so there's got to be a way to instead have it go to a text file, right?

EmulationStation checks if the file exists on disk before adding it to the list, but it still reads from the gamelist.xml.

You can output the game name and the path at the same time and then read the output in a script that would check if the path is still valid before printing the game. Here's a command that outputs a tab separated list of game path values.

xmlstarlet sel -t -m '//game' -v 'name' -o $'\t' -v 'path' -n gamelist.xml

@tpr glad you like it. for basic stuff it was really good.

I just wanted to answer here and ask for more information, then I noticed that you already gave it in your second thread. Please don't open multiple threads about one topic.

I was not able to figure this out. For my purposes, I wanted to restrict access to the other lists anyway as this machine is for a workplace arcade setup so I wanted a very straightforward setup, so I updated the ES config to not allow the B button to work. It loads All Games by default, and I turned off the ability to go from system to system, so for now it's working for me. Thanks for the input that was received.

I thought those errors and the aplay results would be descriptive enough, but I think I left out some key pieces of info. I had added a couple of sound files based on this forum when my first solutions didn't work. I went back and deleted those files and purged pulseaudio. I also set my audio to Headphones in es_settings.cfg. Everything seems to be working, though my splashscreen video is much louder than emulation station.

Edit: This feels like the dumbest question ever. How do I mark something solved? As far as I can tell I'm supposed to edit the title of the thread, but I'm not seeing that option. My only topic tools are to delete the post...

@daviddraper said in MayFlash F500 configuration:

@agrajag Good times. I use my keyboard as my primary controller for my Daphne roms. Intellivision, because of its unique rotating dist controller, strikes me as a pain to use with a fight stick. I have used an 8BitDo SNES style gamepad to play Intellivision games, but it is not ideal.

David,

Dumb question: How do you go about changing controllers? That part of Retropie is a mystery to me at this point. Everything I have running is setup to run on the Mayflash and since it's seen as a generic Xbox controller (and my other controllers are almost all Xbox wired and wireless actual controllers) I'm really concerned about being able to easily switch back and forth.

For example, I want to play the game Dungeon Explorers on SegaCD or TurboGrafx with four of us, but I have NO idea how to essentially remove the Mayflash, plug in four game controllers and have it all just work without screwing up all the work I did to get the Mayflash to work.

thank you!

lucky I took an image to restore from...

BTW - the issue appear with his repo is that if I install his GSplus, it forces an update from raspberry.org and deletes or renames(?) the opt/config folder!

I'll post there. thanks again for the info how to revert.

@Peeteris said in Switching Emulation Station to the TurboGrafx-16 and Genesis logos doesn't work:

IS there any changes in newest Retropie that breaks this functionality?

No, nothing changed here. You're supposed to re-install one of the systems' emulators for the change to take effect.

@hex I know this thread is a bit old but I want to see if there is interest.

I've added three new events to support integration with the Pixelcade LCD Marquee:

game-select
system-select
screensaver-select

How would I go about incorporating these into the main branch?

Thanks for the update.

@E3L1 said in Can’t built emulationstation:

@Clyde it’s more.... why can’t raspberrypi release a SBC with a GPU faster that 300mhz.....

Because the Raspberry Pi was never meant to be powerful. It was (and is) developed first and foremost to be an educational device "to promote teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries" (Wikipedia).

@mitu thank you, Mitu! I bought another memory card and it works!! You're the best :)

thanks guys indeed now it works thanks again

Update: Please use PR 560 (note the 6) from now on for testing. Needed to reapply PR since fork and upstream diverted too much. So:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation.git cd EmulationStation git fetch origin pull/560/head:event-scripting git checkout event-scripting cmake . && make ./emulationstation --debug

Yep! Thank you :)
