@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.

Hello 1.8.1.4 fix5 Bugs Fix executable only (replace the executable in C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexouille Soft\Arrm\ by the one contained in the archive from the page below). It is necessary to have version 1.8.1.4 installed http://jujuvincebros.fr/telechargements2/category/11-arrm-update-correctif Bug correction (application crash) when switching from roms to favorites / hidden / normal. Bug correction (application crash) when clicking on 'Check name via MD5' button When deleting METADATA, only the items checked in the 'ROMS Information' panel are deleted. Addition of a button 'strict search' which allows to retrieve only the games whose PlateformId or ParentId corresponds to the desired - platform (request from Khan-Dam). Moving the scrape_log.txt in %appdata%\Nexouille soft\arrm\temp\scrape_log.txt.

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.

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
