But don't forget to set the default emulator of arcade to lr-mame2003-plus via the runcommand menu.

Already try before the combination select + x but its not working, nothing happen, rgui not come out.
After try few combination, found hot key button + x working now can enter rgui. Maybe because I enable hot key button on my remote.
Thanks @grant2258 and others help me solve the problem.

thank you again.

@mitu ok thanks a lot!!!

@Darksavior Ty for this information! I am a visual learner so I usually default to youtube for help, sorry :/

You're using an unsupported installation method, that's why you're having problems. I guess you've been installing based on a certain outdated and wrong youtube video.

Have you updated RetroPie and/or the OS packages ? Try running and update and say 'Yes' when asked to upgrade the OS/packages. You don't need pulseaudio for pairing a mouse/keyboard, you should remove that.

You are welcome mate, i am glad it worked that simple :)

If you want only certain games to be rotated, then you can use a per-ROM configuration override to rotate the screen when playing them, without rotating the whole display via config.txt.
This only works for RetroArch - see more details here.

@jonjon1977 you only answered the second question.
Please follow the link Mitu gave you and give proper information about your system.

You'll need to enable SSH on your PI and use an utility like CyberDuck or FileZilla to be able to download the log file to your mac, then unpack the log and upload its contents to pastebin.com.

@mitu tnx

My issue ended up being that there was a <command> in the es_systems.cfg that caused it to not work. I now have both games running, however, there is a persistent issue i've had since making this post. I still have two entries of cave story, one being the shell script, and the other being the folder that holds the .exe

How do I hide the folder CaveStory on ES?

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.

This is quite an old thread, but it does show up in google searches. I thought I'd update it with links to gamelist.xml apps/tools that that I've found, and similar discussion threads. By no means is this an exhaustive list.

@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.
