@mitu Thanks so much! :)

Ah. Thanks. Thought I was going crazy for a sec there. =D

@Rion Thanks. I used your files. Really useful. Especially the multi bat is very useful in my setup. I was toying around yesterday with clrmame and romcenter to organise a 0.78 file, but I found it quite hard for a noob. Your files do help a lot !

@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.

Haven't been on the forum in awhile and happened to be looking around and saw this. Not sure if you're still looking for info on this.. but i'm a big fan of romhacks, I found the biggest obstacle to be creating the gamelist. Getting a nice romhack list setup in ES or Launchbox takes a fair amount of manual effort. Obviously none of the scrapers will scrape & create gamelists for you because their romhacks and there is no official list, but if you have romhack naming convention figured out how you like and have them all named, you can get a base XML created from Unviversal XML Scraper (https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/releases) and go from there. I name my romhacks like this: In ES, I created separate "systems" for romhacks and even English translated roms if I felt there were enough to warrant it. to create the separate systems, I copied the system from the theme folder, renamed it and edited the theme.xml to replace the "ControllerOverlay" art & "logo2" art with a different image (both are normally the controller.svg file, I just a png image, which..mine doesn't line up perfect, but it's good enough for me) so when you're scrolling through you can differentiate between them easily. You also need to edit the es_systems.cfg and copy the system you want, and rename the affected fields for that. So for SNES, I actually have 4 different systems in my Carbon ES theme folder, and in the ROMS folder: snes snes-hacks snes-msu snes-trans For filling in the gamelist fields for each hack, I just kept it simple and did a description, I didn't worry about year/developer/etc. And I just used the box of the original game as the image, I didn't try to find screenshots or specific box art for romhacks. As far as your question on patching, I can't really answer that, I pre-patch all romhacks, I'm not sure if emulators can do on-the-fly patching or not. Also compress roms as .zip, just normal compression rate, nothing crazy. I'm sure there are easier/better ways to do some of this stuff, but this is what I came up with at the time. Hope this info is useful to someone.

Hi @ratedrguy You have to enable 'activation of the recovery of 4 images' via Extra Tag + Default image button in 'Main Options' Tag Then in the same tab, click on assignment of media 'screenscraper' then select which media you want for the official tag 'Marquee', 'Thumbnail' and 'Image' see wiki : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=media-assignation-en

close emulation station before editing it

@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

Hi, are there any news? What is a working gamelist editor under windows? I find this: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/9265/soft-gamelist-editor Seems working, but i.e. the mame-libreto -folder will not displayed. My trick: Rename the mame-libretor to (i.e. not used) "snes" => than the games are displayed. Also found the the "ARRM" editor, but for me not clear how it should work... lot of features ... Any other gamelist editors there ?

@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.
