@Lord-meow-Sambo https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules - there's no requests for ROMs/licensed material.

@mitu Yes the exFAT format is definitely the issue. Now I just need to figure out if renaming the few roms that have a : is easiest or sticking with ext4 but only having access to it via WINSCP. Thanks for figuring it out for me.

@muldjord said in Skyscraper: problem with re-naming rom names without bracket info:

Do you perhaps sometimes run Skyscraper from command-line and sometimes from the RetroPie script? And do you then maybe have two different versions?

Maybe I misunderstood and by two versions you meant two different scrapes for a system instead two versions of Skyscraper?
In this case I'm pretty sure I only used Skyscraper from terminal for CPS systems as those were the only ones that originally didn't scrape from RP-script.

@flightrisk Alas, I can't help you with that. Good luck.

edit: For manual removal of unwanted roms (among many more features), you could check out WebtroPie.

Thank you for all the help, everyone. I managed to compress my entire collection into CHD files. Much cleaner, and much smaller space-wise. And, they all work...except for the Sega-CD 32x games (there's only three or four of those). I guess I have to do some more homework on that one.

Not all my images were bin/cue. Getting them to be bin/cue so I could convert them to CHD was tedious and sometimes frustrating, but I got it done.

Thanks again.

Solved.

turned out it was actually a malfunction in RGBCommander; the developer contacted me directly to say he was working on a solution. He let me test a rebuilt daemon, and will roll the fix into his next release.

Check out this thread at Arcade Controls.

You can always download the games already in pbp format. Saved me a bunch of time that way. I found just about every american release already premade.

ive already fixed this for myself for mame and mame2003+ i just made a gamelist from the dats of mame2003 and 2003+

@jlachniet I was thinking in terms of time ( to play) ...not file size ;-)
