@MotoGp Amazing job on the app MotoGP. I just used the latest version and it is working as expected. Retropie gamelist looks for gamelist.xml in the folder we select, would it be possible to just look for roms in a folder (like we give the rom extension zip and it lists all zips in folder without having gamelist.xml) or would that be beyond the scope of app?

@bananapi761 the -dev package is always a source install, otherwise the package would not the latest version.

@WeatherPi Maybe you could host your scripts on GitHub and hopefully the community would contributes and help you add new features. Might be better to have short games that take a couple hours to finish unlocked for a day but maybe longer RPG style games should be unlocked for several days? I'm not sure if your friend likes to focus on RPG's to finish them or if he plays RPG's at all. Maybe RPG's only unlocked over the weekend and have a small handful of unique shorter games unlock each weekday (like different ones every weekday)?

Thanks! That was the case. Problem solved.

yeah it would be a great improvement if romhacks were sorted in different folders, or have them seperately listed one way or another. Its kinda odd no one has yet done anything with this.

Hi All, New version of ARRM available : 1.8.0.5 (12/01/2019) Modification of the filter panel: now it is a panel with tab: 'Filters', 'Research' Added in the filter panel check boxes 'without screenshot', 'without box', 'without mark', 'without manual' Add a 'Manual' field in the database Added a 'Region' field (of the form 'us, eu, jp ...) in the database containing the regions of a given game. Display region flags in mixes if the <region> tag is true. Parameterizable in template files (region1 and region2 tags). All templates have been updated to allow the display of flags. If no regions available, possibility to display the 'World' flag via the checkbox 'World Flag?' in the Tools tab   If you want to display them, edit the xml of the template edit the tag <region> to TRUE (request of foclabroc on discord jujuvincebros) Button 'Add Flag' in tab 'Tools' to add the flags to the image without having to rescraper. The selected template must be the one originally used on the existing image. Modification of the filter panel + add checkboxes 'without screenshot', 'without boxart', 'without mark', 'without manual' The search by keyword on the roms can be done independently on the name of the game, name of rom or description Added a button 'Recover Media' in the 'Tools' panel to retrieve the wheels of the present systems: To display the wheel of the selected system in the Panel 'ROM informations' Checkbox in front of the textual elements of the 'ROM Information' panel. Only checked items are refreshed during a scrap. (Jay's request on Recalbox forum) Remove the 'Auto Association Association' button from the 'Systems' panel, redundant with the 'Auto template' button Now in 4-image mode, the screenshot is saved in its native format without adding "black bars" Modification of the template 'super famicom' and addition of the template 'snes us' (request of Andearoid forum JujuVinceBros) Checkbox 'Only' for 'Force media' in tab 'images options': if checked only the media of the checked country are retrieved. No fallback to other media available. (request from Andearoid JujuVinceBros forum) The 'Select all', 'All deselected' and 'No filter' buttons are accessible directly for the 'Filters' and 'Search' modules (request from Andearoid JujuVinceBros forum) Added a combobox to choose between Handbrake and FFmpeg for video compression. (request from Andearoid on JujuVinceBros forum and thanks for the settings) Addition of a checkbox ".ZIP" allowing to prioritize the calculation of the MD5 / CRC32 on the file contained in the .ZIP / .7z during mass calculation of the CRC32 / MD5.

@sohailoo Thanks for the info. For metadata, you will need to install Selph's scraper from the setup script. Once done, then exit ES and run the following command from the terminal or a SSH session: cd RetroPie/roms/psx /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -img_format=png -image_dir="./boxart" -image_path="./boxart" -download_images=false -image_suffix="" -marquee_dir="./wheel" -marquee_path="./wheel" -download_marquees=false -marquee_suffix="" -video_dir="./snap" -video_path="./snap" -download_videos=false -video_suffix="" The above is an example for creating a gamelist XML for Playstation (PSX). For the other systems, the working directory needs to be changed with a command such as cd ../snes/ before running the scraper. For arcade roms, remember to include the -mame parameter in the scraper command.

i just noticed the same issue occurs with sega cd and sg-1000

Sorry I've got email notifications turned on but I don't seem to be getting them so I assumed nobody replied, only now I went on the forums and saw notifications in the top-right.

@BobHarris that's most likely the issue then. I'll have to search for it myself then, as it is also one of my favorites when i was able to play.

Ok, I seem to have figured this out by installing WinSCP, navigating to the files listed in the error messages, deleting them, and then running the scraper to regenerate the files. Now to sort out the bluetooth issue....

Wow, look how late I am! I can confirm that yes, you can use your pre-scraped art from Recalbox on Retropie. It's pretty much the same as using Skyscraper (I think, though I've only used that on my desktop PC). As long as you use the same roms, images and gamelists you're good to go. Well, it all worked for me anyway, and saves A LOT of extra scraping. :-)

@sexbeer Awesome, I'm glad it worked out.

I'm not at the pi at the moment (left the house after making this post) but I can definitely confirm that it erases what I added without appending another. The game/console I have been using as an example is Game Boy. With the entry for Super Mario Land, the scraped (using default ES scraper) data does not generate a <players> tag in the metadata entry within the gamelist.xml. When I launched the game and played it after adding one, the data saved added a last played date and times played entry, and erased/overwrote the <players>1</players> tag that I added (and saved) prior to launching and playing. I confirmed by comparing to other titles that my line of xml was formatted exactly as others were that scraped with a <players> tag, but notably those that obtained that data from thegamesdb.net via the built in scraper and remained undisturbed are always greater than 1, which makes me suspect that ES reads a not present/defined value of players as 1? Not sure why it would erase or overwrite it though.

Just found it before posting something very similar! In my opinion, It would be great an option to delete both rom and entry. Because I have ckecked "parse game list only", and this, not only hide roms that are not scrapped, but also show roms that doesn't really exist, but still have an entry in gamelist file.

Yeh its been mega hot in the UK especially here. I must admit, I get most of my own personal work done when its colder haha :P

yes that I know @DougA, but I do not wish to launch the games every time but the fire via Notepad ++ @mitu I'll try to see what I can do with emulators.cfg to scale my games
