@ByteThis I thought about hooking up a lan cable but i’m too lazy to run one from my router behind my furniture and to the pie.

Using the correct romset in the correct emulator?

Thanks! This solved the issue for me - I had to copy rom.key file together with all the roms as indicated in one of the replies from above thread, then it started to work...

@Myrmior said in Asterisk on USB copied files:

When offloaded onto the SD card from the USB stick, the roms show up as a teal color in file manager and have an asterisk next to them.

That just means the files have the executable bit set, which is not a big deal and shouldn't have an effect on the game/rom being played. The problem is somewhere else.

Ok I was missing the neogeo.zip bios from the rom folder, now eerything works grate

@mitu thanks brother,

Thank you guys. I'm not gonna make a scraper, just a gamelist editor, so I'm safe now on what to do ;-)

@obliv said in lr-pcsx-rearmed does not start - Failed to load content:

[libretro INFO] unsupported/invalid CD image: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII.iso

Thats a PSP game, not a ps1 game. PCSX-rearmed is for ps1 games.

@akafox @Lyle_JP @mitu lr-fbalpha will search the roms folder, then the BIOS/fba folder (where samples & hiscore.dat are supposed to be), then the BIOS folder. It works that way for any bios or parent rom (which means you can also store the non working parent roms needed to run some clone in the BIOS/fba folder).

Please fill in the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first about your system.

Hi, just wanted to thank @chizzer for the suggestion of using FB Alpha, I now have a working Juno First and I am very happy! Broke 100,000 on my 3rd go and loving it!

@jbaumer96 Please open a new topic and add the info from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Don't bump old topics.

@mitu thank you sir

@eldrethor said in Avenues to acquire legal copies of old roms?:

They can make some very disagreeable business choices, but I've seldom ever had a problem with their first-party products.

Even the VirtualBoy (arguably their worst product ever) was very well made. It was just ill-conceived.

@mediamogul said in Vice rom options for a specific game?:

Thank you!

I can confirm that using latest RetroPie in latest Raspbian Stretch with stable EmulationStation it does recognise files >2GB as @mitu stated:

Created a test "rom":

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/RetroPie/roms/psx/test.pbp bs=1M count=3072

Then restarted ES, the rom appears and ES tries to launch it normally. Of course the emulator returns immediately, but it IS recognised by ES:

lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.7.6rp, built Jul 11 2018 - 17:57:30 ... lvl2: Attempting to launch game... lvl2: /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ psx /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/test.pbp

@meleu @Kaltinril I took a bit of action how the cleaner scripts (image and gamelist) work in general.

@all users
First thing that stops me from integrating a picture/video remover into the BashROMManager is that there in no evidence that every user got the same file strategy.
Second: Time shedule!

I tested these two wonderfull tools on my mashine and they work fine! I was able to remove entries from gamelists - after I removed some ROM files. So I these fine tools are working. But I think the responsibility is to much to remove files and work with fragile xml lists in a "automated" ROM deletion process. Please don't think the scripts are not working or the ROMManager itself is the culprit ... No! I simple have no time for extensive trouble shooting!

I think a chance that I step into integrating this is, if I start to scrape all my ROMs ;) I didn't do that the last 2.5 years so you can calculate if I do this in future. I think I will integrate a "log-file" of deleted rom-files into the BashROMManager and maybe a help section how the cleaner tools should be feed manual.....

Nevertheless if there is a strong demand maybe @Sano @hiulit @meleu @mitu and others can (if these nice guys got time) help to integrate. My github resporitory is open for everyone...

I deeply hope, that all these scraper things will be setted in per system SQLite databases once a time. Then it will also be easier to maintain and share such things. So we have a database, were all our roms get one hash string. The hash points to metadata. As long the hash value is in the database the ROM does excitst. To renew the database we have to renew all hash values ;)

@dankcushions thanks

@thedatacereal
Ok. Can I check the card's read speed with win32 disk imager ? Didn't know that. Will try.

Anyways I wrote the default retropie 4.3 image on it, using the method I use everytime, so that's why I think about the card.

The network transfers on it seemed slow to me, too.
