@iandaemon it's a case of two wrongs making a right :)

I mean, it was a long time ago, but I think I still played it until the middle of the first level or so on AdvMAME.

Hope you're doing well!

@quicksilver I'll give it a shot, thanks! Only played the red one briefly to see how the game went.

AdvMame works well for it so I'm sticking with it. Thanks for the tip and a happy Saturday!

@sscalley Thank you! This was exactly my issue as well, although I was using a pre-made image from somewhere else that had the same permissions issues.

For me, since my gamelist.xml files were in the roms directory, I needed to do the following:

cd ~\retropie\roms sudo ./ -name 'gamelist.xml' -exec chown pi:pi {} \;

Worked great!

I am very cautious as to go through the Configure pads because I struggled to have both my 360pad and my Arcade Stick working. Is there a place I can poke/text edit the Y as Favorites button?

Thanx!

My favourite is probably an SNES emulator I came across a while back. I think the retropie is the best way to host it, but recently I've been looking at some alternatives to Raspberry Pi: https://www.1and1.com/digitalguide/server/know-how/raspberry-pi-alternatives-single-board-computers-to-check-out/

out of interest and I wonder how well they might handle an SNES or even a PSX emulator. But as far as the retropie goes, it hosts the SNES emulator like a champ; the frame rate is great and everything ran smoothly. I just wish I could remember the name of it. When I do I'll add it below.

@pjft I refer to the output result ;) Really no idea?
If I want to launch CAPCOM/TESTFILE.test then the output is

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/123456/CAPCOM/TESTFILE.test segacd /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-picodrive/picodrive_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/segacd/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/123456/CAPCOM/TESTFILE.test" Line is ROMname+it's path as in Gamelist... Is Emulatorcall is command call via runcommand.sh

And yes you are totally right... how to find correct emulator call :) But with a bit of investigation it is no problem. But you are totally right that are just cases no user will run in this. But I just want to show what is possible and with the knowledge collected in the last few days it seems absolutly possible to give ES the right push.

So hold on:

Consider if you terminate/shorten 123456/ in the string then you may have the full path of the rom ;) and now compare it to es_systems.cfg? We can parse the system out ;) and then ..... voila a launching abilty via folder navigation :)

In fact I won't use 123456/ give to more a stylish name hidden/, toxxic/or just vvaste/ :D I'm joking but it should work...

May the forks be with you

@edmaul69 Shining force CD was good on sega cd, it was a compilation of the first 2 game gear shining forces (shining force gaiden, and shining force 2 the sword of hadjya) both really good games. And i think there was a third scenario on the CD version that completes the story, but i havent gotten that far into it yet.

Konami Arcade Flyers with real Models are awesome by their way in my opinion (Devastators, Jackal, Haunted Castle,...)
