@barbudreadmon Yeah, it was the principality of it, saving and loading game specific options in a global config. I think I could not get either the macros or cabinet settings to work this way, rendering them beyond completely pointless. I think the actual cabinet settings for the retroarch core are saved in /roms/neogeo/FBA/ along with high score, and I don't know what was up with the macros.

@retrogamer78 Kodi is installed from a Debian-type repository, so you can set the package status to hold to prevent automatic updates. echo kodi hold | dpkg --set-selections

The 001, 002 etc extensions means that they are sequential parts of the same compressed file. Try opening the 001 file with 7Zip, or something else that reads 7Z files.

Brilliant, Thanks for letting me know so quickly. I will install and configure these emulators outside of Retropie using sudo apt-get install. I will keep tracking this in case they may be ported to the XU4 in the future. Thanks all!

@capeman I suppose you are right. I have just got into a habit of updating "ALL" because to me that is somehow better, or what I should do... I understand that I need to do something different, not the software. I know how to hold packages that have binaries, I was just wondering if it was the same for those that don't. I guess I was just thinking about it a bit back to front. Thanks.

Hello fellows. I would like to say thanks! The cec-utils package is pretty handy. The udev rules are perfect! The only addition I've made on my arcade build was adding a turn off monitor.sh script in RetroPie Menu. #!/bin/bash # turn off monitor.sh ################# # Actually puts the monitor on stand by mode. echo standby 0 | cec-utils -s -d 1

@Rydra IMHO putting it on github and providing a script to install it is the best way to provide it to RetroPie users.

@SkittleBrau79 you were installing packages before and your internet connection broke or an upgrade was interrupted or something. Impossible to say.

@LasagnaDevil You have provided no information about your setup as requested (Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first) Assuming you are on a PC, just do a basic install first - which installs the base set of packages, you can then install any extra ones. It's only something you have to do once. PR is a Pull Request - when you contribute back to the project - You said "I don't think it'd be that hard to implement, honestly." so I said you could contribute back. I had assumed you based that comment on some internal knowledge of the codebase. Otherwise it doesn't mean a lot :)

@vbs It's not a bad idea (I have thought a lot about it - especially when I was doing the reorganisation of the retropie-setup menus), I just think it's really only retroarch which would benefit (maybe a couple of others) - so it's whether the work is worth it. I'm pretty certain it will be me who has to maintain this long term too. I'll see how retroarch develops though and reconsider it in the future if it seems required.

would it be relationed with __persistent_repos of the 4831258dbaf6d8af93abff513cb7c10b972df488 commit?
