@thezoof You just have to remember to enable metadata saving when scraping from Emulationstation. Using the setting will probably also make the 'Last Played' static, so if you're using it, disableing the metadata saving might not be the right option to set.

@VictimRLSH Btw, don't get confused with the Game Boy Mystic Quest (for you its named Final Fantasy Adventure). The SNES game you know as Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is known in Germany as Mystic Quest Legend. What the f...un Squaresoft?! I remember that game very well, it was the very first turn based rpg we got on the SNES, plus it was localized (many games from that time was just in English). That time, I didn't know much about role play games and always wondered how they work and what that turn based fighting mean. At the 90s we rarely got turn based rpgs and every of them was like gold. In example, we never got any Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Bahamut Lagoon, Tales of Whatever, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, Star Ocean, Dragon Quest, Ogre Battle , Tactics Ogre, Romancing Saga OR ANYTHING. Thats why this game, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, is something very special to me. Even to that day, it was very easy and extremely limited and disappointing in gameplay with restricted party members and magic system and the world map. But that is ok. It might don't win an award for it, but it introduced me the concept. And it have a GREAT soundtrack, I like the dungeon and fight musics, still one of the greatest for the SNES. Looking back, its a shame we never got these games officially on the system. Probably translation was expensive and it was very risky, as jrpgs wasn't very well known and asked in Europe/Germany.

@echdareez Just boot up the Pi,..when it's done press Start. Choose Game collection settings. Then go to Automatic game collections. Here you can enable Favorites. It's disabled by default.

@pjft and to complete this ... I have collections that are named "RetroAchievements" and "RA - Battle Bugs". The Battle Bugs is for challenging games or for the Monthly Random Game introduced here (Currently Mario RPG). These collections in combination with a small script Automated Switchable RetroAchievements make an automatic connect/disconnect to the RA server possible ;) So you all see custom collections is a milestone in the ES development. Thank you pjft :D

@mitu Thank you ;-)

@mitu Ok, never mind. It appeared.

Trash it for PS1 It's an action game where the 1-4 players have to destroy buildings with gigantic hammers. As a player, you take role of a construction worker who has only one mission: To smash everything to bits and cross the finish line before the opponents. Check it out on youtube it's actually great deal of fun.

@meleu said in Favorites will only save if shutdown by menu option and not via GPIO Shutdown Script: Hello guys! I would like to suggest the solution I proposed here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12895/ensuring-es-gracefully-finish-and-save-metadata-in-every-system-shutdown Let me know if you guys find some problem. Cheers! Thanks for this - I'll give it a 'bash' later :-)

@mediamogul Haha! :)

@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...

@bigman1982 let's move this here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12087 While I'm quite confident it's not necessarily related to collections, I want to try to dig into this. Thanks!

lfl-create is now on github Feel free to use https://github.com/crcerror/lfl-create May the forks be with you

@meleu I've bumped the fav-launcher to v0.85 now Maybe you can give it a chance. With the User Menu it is now possible to add more than one FAV-system

@jdrassa The way I see it, from my limited knowledge point of view, is that it should be easier to align the icon with the corresponding text entry in the gamelist if it's a font (you can just render it inline) rather than a separate icon element that you need to explicitly render at a different location trying to guess which gamelist entry is selected at a time. Then again, I don't know enough of the components in question to confirm that'd be the case. And, certainly, it's not that it can't be done, but just something to bear in mind. @mattrixk fantastic post. Thank you for taking the time! I'll comment further if I have anything to add when I'm on my laptop later today.

@mattrixk Ah thanks.

Thanks so much. Updating the firmware got me sorted. It's showing the proper amount of memory now... It's just not booting into emulationstation. Just drops to console... working on that now. EDIT: It was the memory split. Reverted and now everything boots up again. Back to the beginning; installing emulationstation-kids.

Thanks to all :) For now I'm stick to default ES version. Maybe in future the experimental branch would resolve all it problem. I will mind the tip! Thanks to all for responding me, thanks even to you I'm really near to finishing my project :)

@kbronctjr You can also set it so it displays only the favourites from each system.
