Default will skip roms that have any piece of data from this source, and “only missing” will skip roms that have any piece of data from any source?

Yes, I had actually forgotten that point, it's quite an important distinction.

And you're welcome. Have fun with it!

@quicksilver I can do VERY minor graphic changes. I'll have to take a look at where that's at and see about changing it.

@dankcushions yes! I did the change when I found this new emulator was ported to libretro. At the end I found that the main problem in my lr-genesis-plus-gx performance is the bilinear filter. If I turn it off it's working 58-60 fps with very good sound quality. So as I see it maybe I overloaded my raspberry pi 3B too much, if I'm correct is definitely something to have in mind if you dont have a rpi3B+ or rpi4. SegaCD is working fine too now!

I'm having a similar issue with Sega CD / lr-genesis-plus-gx on the pi4. My files are .chd format. Worked in my previous build, verified the BIOS against the official documentation... nothing.

@lekzerum Any chance you could throw that file in a google drive link for me to try?

As @YFZdude mentioned, the genesis folder is a symlink (shortcut) to the megadrive folder, so there's no need to remove it - it's not actually taking any space. You can leave it as is, it's ok - the scriptmodules expect a megadrive ROM folder and updating the MD emulators will re-create the folder.

We could make it the default, since ScreenScraper is the default scraper in EmulationStation it didn't have such a great impact. The change required some code changes in EmulationStation for ScreenScraper, so that's why it wasn't added after the issue was reported.

@djmoss I am so glad that things are working for you now. Happy Holidays!

Don't you just hate when you have had a problem for days and you finally ask for help, you happen to figure it out? I guess it's cause at that point you abandoned your train of thought.

Anyways for anyone else trying to get the analog features working for farious SEGA games and rebind them for your flightstick or steering wheel I've made a little chart so you can add the rebinds manually

Find your games keybindings file, as example i'll use Afterburner II on the MegaDrive. which can be found at: "/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/Genesis Plus GX/"
In my case with filename "After Burner II (USA, Europe).rmp"

Open it in notepad and adjust your keys, here is an example of the default buttons, with the A,B,X,Y buttons added, and the vertical throttle removed.
I've also made a little picture you can use as reference, you'll find that under the code, it has all the numbers you need to use.
That's all, have fun setting up your flightsticks and racewheels on a 16bit console.

#Device ID for XE-1AP: input_libretro_device_p1 = "773" #Start and Select input_player1_btn_select = "2" input_player1_btn_start = "3" #A,B,X,Y = East,South,North,West input_player1_btn_a = "11" input_player1_btn_b = "13" input_player1_btn_x = "10" input_player1_btn_y = "12" #D-Pad is unused so lets add Select and Start to it incase your flightstick doesnt have enough buttons input_player1_btn_up = "-1" input_player1_btn_down = "-1" input_player1_btn_left = "2" input_player1_btn_right = "3" #Left Joystick input_player1_stk_l_x+ = "16" input_player1_stk_l_x- = "17" input_player1_stk_l_y+ = "18" input_player1_stk_l_y- = "19" #Right joystick (Throttle) input_player1_stk_r_x+ = "-1" input_player1_stk_r_x- = "-1" input_player1_stk_r_y+ = "21" input_player1_stk_r_y- = "20" #Left Shoulder buttons input_player1_btn_l = "10" input_player1_btn_l2 = "12" #Right Shoulder buttons input_player1_btn_r = "11" input_player1_btn_r2 = "13" #No idea what E1 and E2 buttons are for, but lets add them to the thumbstick buttons (R3, L3). input_player1_btn_l3 = "1" input_player1_btn_r3 = "0"

@Crush Thank you so much! That worked perfectly

you didn't fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first so i'm assuming that you used the official retropie zero image, so the default pre-installed ones should be the most performant.

I was having the exact same problem but with the PC Engine -> TurboGraphix 16. Thanks to this thread I've finally got that resolved!

@rayvearn always better out that in specially when you stuck with this lockdown!

@roslof I am showing my Genesis overlay files to be 1920x1080:

@KN4THX

Thank you for that help. I never had a Genesis either, but that is what I know the machine as. I would definitely prefer to have the menu title say Genesis.

I’m surprise nobody figure out how to run other emulators using blast16. Even loading cores in retroarch is impossible. 😢

@respite If you don't like the GUI, then on the same page there's an explanation on how to override the controls for a certain system - MD/Genesis in your case - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#example-per-system-control-override-retroarchcfg. The file you need to edit is the retroarch.cfg in your /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive folder.

@ruckage Hello, I'm doing my own take on a Mega Drive mini theme but for the Attract Mode front end. I've seen you complain about some assets supposed to be taken from yours and used on the SEGA CD Mini theme by arcanthur so I'm asking what assets were taken from you and if you mind if use or modify them myself?

I forget which emulator but one of them has a core option for 6 button and 3 button controls. The other just has some of the 6 button games working with 6 buttons and some are stuck on 3 buttons.
