      Not a supported system (is it even related to RetroPie ?), ask the scammer that sold you the system to provide assistance.

      DEST=/media/MYDESTDRIV/favroms ; rm -rf "$DEST" ; mkdir "$DEST" ; cd /userdata/roms ; for d in * ; do [ -d "$d" ] && xmllint --xpath "/gameList/game[favorite='true']/path/text()" "${d}/gamelist.xml" 2>/dev/null | while read rom ; do echo "${d}/${rom}" && [ -e "${d}/${rom}" ] && mkdir -p "$(dirname "${DEST}/${d}/${rom}")" && cp -rp "${d}/${rom}" "${DEST}/${d}/${rom}" ; done ; done

      @mitu It's a shame there isn't an option somewhere to change that display from a progress bar to the actual count. I can't be the only one who prefers the count.

      Maybe we should start a voting? :D
      I dont care about system counter or progressing bar. There are other issues in this world which are worse IMO...

      @mitu Yes and I know what I did wrong. The Game itself was really a folder, with the file that launched it needing to be favorited and renamed the name of the game. For example My Kingmaker folder had a file called LaunchHere.bat to run and that is what had to be clicked to run. However, that was the file that needed to be favorited, not the Kingmaker folder game itself. My bad. :D Thank you all anyway!! SOLVED

      @mitu said in Requesting help for diagnosing ES issue on Pi4B:

      @roslof when you have the chance, can you try installing the latest emulationstation-dev from source ? There's a fix added that should help speed up the initial loading.

      @mitu as you would expect, with Last Played toggled true, load times are no longer in excess of 50 seconds for me. Cheers to you for the fix!

      PS: I was wrong about Kids mode in my previous post, in kids mode favorites is disabled all times.

      Kids mode would be perfect....if I could still use the search by letter option. With large collections, it's a must. Which is why I must stick with Kiosk for now.

      And those wanting Favorites in the Kiosk really don't have a leg to stand on in that request. They should just use full mode. But having a toggle (like turning the help menu off/on) would be idea.

      @alphabetapie said in Is There a Favorites Glitch in Kiosk Mode?:

      but would love if someone could mention to them that kiosk mode with favorites disable is a great idea and should be reimplemented in the future.

      Agree. Perhaps a flag that could be set while in Full mode, which would toggle Favorites functionality in Kiosk? So it could still be available for those who want it, but could be disabled if you want to leave it with the knuckleheads for an afternoon.

      I'll be glad to suggest it or put a request in, if you can provide a link to where I can do so.

      Also, anyone have any ideas on if the Y button icon in the help menu at the bottom of the screen is editable (and if so, where)?

      Emulation Station Crashes on Boot with Themes

      @twalls

      Hello....
      Your thread is probably one of the closest that I can find online for my issue. Any help would be great...

      I've built 20 or so arcade 1ups with raspberry pi 3b+ and ran into this problem on the latest NBA Jam build with 4 players. Probably 50% of the time the arcade boots I get a message directly after the emulators load (right when it says done) that emulation station crashed. Talks about changing the theme and if it's the first time loading retropie, etc. Screenshot_20210917-210224_Photos.jpg

      I use the same image for every one of my arcades, 4 player and 2 player and have never ran into this problem. I've changed out everything....usb cables, encoders, raspberry pi, surge protector, tried a different outlet, changed the theme, etc. Nothing helps. Sometimes it boots normal and perfectly, but I'd say half the time I get the crashed message. I've tried doing one encoder/joystick at a time and it works fine...all the way up to 3 encoders/joysticks, but when 4 are connected that's when it randomly does it. I've noticed that after I turn on and one of the encoders flashes (red light) instead of staying on is when this happens. And it's random each time of which encoder flashes. Like I've said though, I changed out all the encoders, cables, pi, surge protector. I'm at a loss here and is driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      @mitu
      Thank you! that was the problem The SD card was full like 100% full!. I free-ed up some space and my favourites etc, are being saved. I tested restarting emulation station and re-booting the Pie. All working fine now.

      I feel like a fool! Thank you for your help.

      Not a complaint, but a request: it might be nice to get a big fat warning if settings cannot be saved due to no SD card space. But from now on I will make sure to leave some space on the SD card.

      @Mark_H Yes, that's the recommended method. Some buttons have a script attached which safely shut down the system, including EmulationStation - so if your button doesn't have that, the best option is to use the EmulationStation menu to shutdown or restart your system.

      In ES You can press select and edit the game's metadata. Then at the bottom there is a button for scraping.

      @kelkyko Then it might be in the alternative location ~/.emulationstation/gamelists/arcade. Try that path after the cd command. If the error occurs again, show us the output of the second of these commands (but execute both in that order):

      sudo updatedb locate gamelist.xml

      Just to be sure, you are using the correct system in the path? (arcade or wherever else your roms reside in).

      @tompacyk said in Lists filtered to favorites by default:

      Follow up thought: I get that the filters aren’t preserved, but is there a file or flag that is set somewhere once I toggle a filter? Could I (theoretically) write a startup script that populates this after each boot?

      No, there is no flag - otherwise it would have been easy to re-add the filter between EmulationStation restarts.
      Only the Kid and Hidden are flags (they're saved) and can be used to simulate a 'reduced display' mode, as @pjft suggested. Hidden games are not shown in Kiosk mode, and Kid mode shows only the games tagged as Kid game.
