      @MCG_1983
      You can enable, in Emulationstation menu, the Parse Metadata Only. With this ES will not scan for new roms on start-up.

      @texmansru47 did you manually install either of amiberry or lr-puae? The optional packages are not installed by default.

      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.

      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!

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

      @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 ?

      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!)
