Right that makes sense

@saint_jimmy Happy to help! No, just follow the instructions and from then on you can just plug your usb flash drive in your pc and transfer your games to the usb. Save files will be stored there as well.

@norbit2 said in Need Help with getting a B-Wings ROM to work in MAME4ALL:

Does anyone have a link to a B-Wing ROM that would work for me?

I think your issue is mame4all nor lr-mame2000 support B-Wings. You'll need to upgrade to lr-mame2003 for it to work.

@tomume https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#installing-additional-emulators - choose to install the emulators for MSX - lr-bluemsx. Then restart ES and see if your ROMs (and the MSX folder) appear.
Check the file extension and make sure you use lowecase for the ROMs.

@landyvlad said in Same game, different systems - does it matter?:

Thanks to both of you.

The game is an FPS called XIII (highly recommended) I used to play it on PC hopefully will be just as good on RP, as I can;t find it for PC anywhere . I'm not sure which of those categories it fall sin (ie written for one and ported to the other, or multi-platform).

But yeah I kinda figured the answer would be try em both and see.... :)

cheers

I still have that on XBox, although I haven't played it for years. Good game.

@dieselhammer The genesis folder is a symlink to the megadrive one, that's why you got the error - you shouldn't have deleted the folder since you might have problems running the ROMs you'll be copying there.

As far as the SSH problem is concerned - please answer the questions from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to have an idea how your system looks like.

@caver01 said in Which ROM Version A, B, Rev 2, etc:
> ...for the most part, the safe starting point is the parent ROM (typically without suffix) and this is often the latest revision and/or the "world" region.

Perfect! This was what I was looking for. A reasonable starting place, with a logical reason.

Is there a way to mark a thread as solved?

Thank you!
Mike

@meleu Here's another taste of what I'm cookin' up.

This game is way too good to not have its own artwork.

@stuart2773 Thanks! Where did you find this?

Followed steps as described (running on Windows on VirtualBox on an MacOS system). Worked brilliantly.

thanks for the link Herb.

I press "F2" on my keyboard.
Works great, i use this to disable Demo sounds and Continues.

@red2blue

Yes it is, because it's supported by every system. But if you got it fixed up, good. But if not, you should try it out with other USB stick instead, so don't yet format your main drive, if it's not going to work in the end.

@rbaker thanks for helping out. This one works!

@robertybob I had been toying with the idea of adding an extra system menu with the games you last played on RetroPie as a whole, as I myself had a similar need.

I'm not sure how feasible that would be, but it's certainly something I would love to have. Would that help with this use case? Visitors would probably mostly be interested in games played in that session, I assume - even though the list would span more games, probably the last 50-100?

Thanks for adding me here!

Edit: alternatively, if it's a numbering thing we'd be looking for, I'd likely suggest a script and doing that via gamelist name editing.

Edit 2: yeah, there is also a sorting option per system that can do the trick in the interim!

@simondid 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

No idea what system you are on or anything else.

If you are running under X I assume you are running on a PC ? It needs to be launched attached to a TTY.
