@soulrider911 said in RetroPie Wolf3d folder can not hide in Ports?:

as my other builds I did no have to do this.

On a stock RetroPie installation, this shouldn't be a problem. Post your es_systems.cfg on pastebin.com and we can see if the issue stems from there.

@Spark Ask the author of said image, we don't support 3rd party images.

Thanks for the tips! I also found this https://www.arcade-museum.com

They have an advanced search that's really helpful. Just don't look for games in the "arcade" category use "videogame" instead.

Ah. Thank you for your responses. I was just trying to arrange all of the Megaman games I added and sort them by release date. Another I was going to do was just grab a list of top 10 games for each system and make a collection and attempt to put them all in order.

I guess it can wait though! It’s more of an OCD type thing for me lol

Thanks again!

Have you tried https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11074/a-gamelist-xml-cleaner-tool ? Seems to do the job you're looking for.

Thanks for the tip. Didn´t do exatcly what i wanted...but it seems to clean up my messy gamelist.xml and that is a big plus!

Nintendo Gamecube:

Spongebob Squarepants: Lights, Camera, Pants

Switch: (Technically a home console)

Golf Story

@A12C4 Perfect explanation thank you!

I understand it all a bit more now and looking forward for it being merged (public). Looking forward to creating some grid based themes :)

Thank you.

@jonnykesh said in "Golden age" console hit parade?:

@meleu Is it still massively expensive to import foreign electronics to Brasil? I have read and watched documentaries about the taxes that were placed on foreign imports. I'm sure that has opened up but there will always be a legacy of that policy.

I think it's not as much as it was in the 80s-90s. But it still has some taxes. Not sure how it worked before but now the taxes are applied by sampling. Then it can be a matter of luck. :-)

I bought some gadgets from other countries and it wasn't that expensive (some of them weren't taxed), such as: 8bitdo NES30, SNES30, Zero, GPD XD...

@screech Thanks, but neither is the issue.

There is no gamelist.xml in the Roms/System folder nor in the configs/all....
All are in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/system/ folders. Some previous scrapes/xml files from my sega master system are in there. The weird thing is even, when I edit those now the change are not reflected in emulationsstation/gamelist.db. It is as if when scraping/importing xml manually it looks for it somewhere else.

And yes I alsways shutdown emulationstation when changing :)

well I feel like a dolt,

seems that it was that at some point I did a find and replace on the .zip files to match my .7z roms, then I guess when I went back in to edit I did a find and replace on the .bin files and changed them also to .7z.... I guess that was confusing it. Thanks for the help simonster, thats a nice command I didn't know. I've got it working again.

@thedeathstar said in looking for free legal games:

@dankcushions Right, I don't think anyone is doing that, and that certainly wasn't the topic in this thread. I guess you'll say it's not your job to explain, but how is accepting donations for the image which packages non-commercial items different than selling a project made from that same image? It seems to me that Buzz is really upset that their work is being monotized, but saying it's because of the non-commercial emulators. Hence, having your cake and eating it too.

We accept donations for our work on RetroPie-Setup etc - nothing to do with selling other peoples software. We don't sell anything.

I am not happy about people breaking licences, and associating RetroPie with piracy which is happening all the time. I don't have to help anyone sell RetroPie "legally". Why should I ?

No problem!

@pjft - thanks very much for that, looks like it may be what i am looking for, will start off with the Atari2600 set and see how i get on!

'bests' games list?
Devil's Crush or Alien Crush for the TurboGrafx 16, Sonic Spin all for the Genesis, or now with Drastic Metroid Prime Pinball for the Nintendo DS.

This would be SUPER helpful when you've downloaded an entire romset for a certain console (or certain version of mame). Simply ANYTHING that would move ROMs you've chosen to the top of the list (instead of having to scroll through like 3,000+ ROMs, or hit select, then select a letter, then still have to hit L or R bumper to page up/down through like 100+ ROMs to find the ONE SINGLE GAME you want to play!)

@madmodder123 said in List games that are in folders:

How can I have it set up to where the game details are assigned to the folder

While in Emulation Station, highlight a folder, press 'select' and choose the option to set metadata. At the bottom left of the resulting window you'll see the option to scrape information. Once completed, the folder will have whatever game data was chosen during this process.

@AndersHP Yes, I have forgotten many.
