@mitu tnx

@InfinityBeing said in PORTS ISSUES: VVVVVV & Cave Story: Is VVVVVV supposed to just run from the data.zip? If that's the case, then how does installing CaveStory correctly work? For CaveStory, install the lr-nxengine package, then copy the game's original contents in the roms/ports/CaveStory folder. Just to test, I've installed said package, created the folder and copied there the files: pi@retropie:~/roms/ports $ ls -1 CaveStory/ Config.dat data DoConfig.exe Doukutsu.exe Manual Manual.html OrgView.exe profile.dat Readme.txt settings.dat and the game works without any issue. It's exactly how it's described in the doc page. For VVVVVV, it's the same thing - install the vvvvvv package, then copy the data.zip file - from the original game - to roms/ports/vvvvvv and you should be good to go. Both games are launched from the Ports system, the installation will add the necessary entries to the gamelist.

Use lr-vice it's easier to disable certain buttons so this doesn't happen

@mitu said in Tried to prioritize HDMI output over LCD now my LCD doesn't work at all: @ns27 Revert the change you've done and see if it fixes it. ok ill try that

So i get there is no way for Emulationstation to look into subfolders? I have to convert my whole collection or edit their cues? (not possible to edit them this way, too many files) I do use Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher/Launchbox already and EmulationStation seem lo lack very basic functions like choosing a simple path for your media files and now this. I managed to find a dirty solution for for the paths but i can't seem to find something for the subfolders. Scrappers don't seem to have anything about them either so that means there's nothing i can do to the gamelist.xml. I really don't want to convert the games because i use a lot of emulators for testing, etc, and not everything is going to be compatible afterwards.

@sirhenrythe5th said in Totally confused with MAME: I also prefer FB-Neo for NeoGeo NeoGeo is one of the few systems where FBNeo has an edge even against current MAME (let alone a 17 years old version of MAME), so yeah, i recommend it.

i made a software to do something like this specially working with xml. it is not public release

@iamoasis said in Double Dragon (MAME): some spreadsheets that show games that have been tested on different emulators Some entries in those spreadsheets are wrong though, because some of the testers didn't follow the "pick an emulator then pick the right romsets for that emulator" rule.

Sorry for the delay in replying. The only other thing in my 'fba' folder is another folder called 'fbneo' which has a file called galaxian.hi (high score I presume) along with other games with .hi extensions. Some files in there have an .fs extension, Galaxian doesn't have an .fs file here though. Nothing at all now in the 'fba' folder as my games are now in 'mame-libretro'. No other files in 'mame-libretro' other than the rom zips. Hmm....

@DFFuntem provide details of setup and a log https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@bombers821 it is illegal to sell retropie especially with roms already included. 3rd party images are not supported here. If you would like support here you will need to download the official supported image (https://retropie.org.uk/download/). If you want support for you're current image you'll need to ask the person who sold it to you for help.

You can use the "collections" functionality to have all the Pokemon games on a single list. When a game is selected, it will launch the game with the emulator required for the rom. I recommend checking the documentation ( https://retropie.org.uk/docs/ ), so you can setup the games with the best emulators. Once that's done, check this guide (look up collections) : https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/EmulationStation

You'll need to provide more details about the screen you're trying to use - does it connect via HDMI or GPIO ? What make/model is it ?

@Clyde said in I Can't Scrap!!! Say there is no Rom?: Why did you put the rom directory inside ~/.emulationstation in the first place? Retropie's standard rom directory is ~/.RetroPie/roms with the individual systems as subdirectories, so it is expectable that the scrapers also expect them to be there. Did you put the roms into ~/RetroPie/roms/[system] now? So, i am using Windows, because of that i need to create a folder roms/system and i can put this wherever I want. Then to make easier to find the roms folder, i put in .emulationstation that in theory I just needed to change the system at the end of ./roms/.

@mitu You legend thank you! 👍

The temperature (31 C) seems fine - I don't think that's the problem. Does this happen when the you're configuring the input in EmulationStation, after the first boot ?

Okay. I was able to fix this by re-installing RetroArch. This doesn't explain what went wrong the first time, but I'm glad I get to enjoy this wonderful emulator now. Feel free to delete this thread. Keep up the good work!

The way RetroPie manages this is by running an additional script after the input configuration phase - see here. The script then reads the es_temporaryinput.cfg file and generates auto-configuration for various emulators - see the script here. You can probably create a similar utility (in Delphi/Pascal) that parses the es_temporaryinput.cfg file and generates configurations for the emulators you need.

@mitu - Hey, that's nice, many thanks for the tip! I'll be adding it to my FBNeo list. Sometimes I miss those numbered ROM's at the beginning of the list as 3countb comes before 20pacgal for example, thinking it's not in the list. Computers and their sorts! :)
