      @peetem All the files in the config folder should be owned and accessible by the installation user (pi on a Pi system). They're also available at \\retropie\configs via file shares.
      Check the permissions on that folder by running

      ls -ld /opt/retropie/configs

      and post the output.

      @dteam Thank you for the kind words, this means a lot to me. Initially I had plans on doing more with other systems too, but the way I did it was too much work for me and a lot has changed in my private life too. The plans are still there, just with little bit less of scope. As for this document, off course there are things I would have done differently now. But that will always be the case. And did anyone notice the starts at the last "Thank you for reading" page are clickable links to some websites?^^ So guess this makes them to Easter eggs.

      Just for the fun and sake of discussion, what games did you miss on the list? Or what games does not belong to it in your own opinion? How many of you are on Raspberry Pi 3 or older?

      Sometimes roms can come back with multiple possibilities while being scraped. Scrapers like Skyscraper for example, will usually pick what it thinks is the best match. I believe you can use scrape by checksum to ensure scraping accuracy.

      You can always delete the gamelist.xml and re-scrape your roms.

      There isn't any such software, I guess you just choose to ignore the advices in the other topic telling you to follow the Arcade quick start and not try to 'find the emulator for the ROM'.
      The only software that can decide if the ROMset is valid for an emulator is a something like CLRMamePro or RomCenter - or some other ROM audit tool.

      It's enough to look in the /etc/emulationstaton/es_systems.cfg - that's where the folder/system mapping is kept.

      Well i got round to testing that as it was sat on my pi anyway i can confirm contra 4 works fine i have a us dump if its relavent and if i may suggest you could try checking your controller mappings see if shoot and hook isnt mapped to the same button by mistake you never know may have overlooked it but it is working fine infact ive just been playing it with my ps3 controller on my pi with enhanced resolution enabled(actually gives 2d games a nice crisp appearance instead of the default blurred one)

      @rsn8887 said in Hide clones without deleting files?:

      In general I am missing more display options, like what I have in Mamextras on my Xbox already: I want to filter only 2 player games, or only 4 player games, only clones, only parents, only fighting games, only games starting with a, etc...

      EmulationStation does support filtering by the metadata so you can filter by player count or genre. However, clone/parent status is not part of the metadata that ES is aware of so you cannot filter on those. The filter options are available in the menu when you press 'select'.

      @maegirom said in All scraped data and games in favorite list are gone oO':

      What is that append option you are talking about? where is it? I think I haven't noticed it anywhere.

      I only used the scraper from the RetroPie-Setup menu, where the Gamelist appears alt text
      I didn't use it from the command line and I don't know what's the default.

      It's adviced to update drivers or something?

      If you like to get bugfixes and new features, yes, but it's not mandatory. Make sure to update from the RetroPie-Setup menu, as explained in the docs.

      The /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation is actually the same folder as /home/pi/.emulationstation, the latter being a symlink to the former.

      Emulationstation reads the custom file in /home/pi/.emulationstation, then - if the 1st doesn't exist - the default one /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg (installed and maintained by the RetroPie setup script).

      I never got any upgrade to ever write a custom ES systems file in that folder, but I'm only using RetroPie since 4.2.0 - so it might have been a problem in the past.

      thank you. that file did the trick.

      i wasn't using an old version of retropie though. in fact it was a fresh install of 4.1. i even updated all installed packages via the retropie setup.

      maybe they changed it back?

      anyway thanks again!

      @billybag You removed part of the RetroPie-Setup script ?

      cd ~/RetroPie-Setup git reset --hard

      i deleted all things Kodi from the SD Card. Been doing a lot of dumb things this holiday season.

      anyway, have not tried the 'git reset --hard' command but will.

      EDIT: That worked! Deffinitely bookmarking this

      Thanks to all :)

      For now I'm stick to default ES version. Maybe in future the experimental branch would resolve all it problem.

      I will mind the tip!

      Thanks to all for responding me, thanks even to you I'm really near to finishing my project :)
