@drdave79 said in Revolution X:

Even going into the retroarch settings for Revolution X (arcade) I don't have a light gun option under inputs.

You probably aren't using mame2003-plus ?

FWIW, FBNeo also auto-calibrate revx.

@dankcushions
I did see that set. It's on my list of things to get.
I see in my future getting a merged set of ROMs to save download time and creating my own non-merged set afterwards.

Do you think my 9 year old PC might be powerful enough to run most games on the latest MAME? I know it is leaps and bounds ahead of the Pi, but I don't know how PC processing power compares to arcade hardware.

EDIT: Forgot the age of my PC

You would put what you want scraped in the 'Games/Roms file extensions' line. I have chd,m3u. I do not use bin or iso.!

@kmancali , on top of what @mitu said, if you want to have some systems directories in different mount points (or partitions) symlink just those directories:

/mnt/roms/amiga to $HOME/RetroPie/roms/amiga

while $HOME/RetroPie/roms remains in the main partition

@alphabetapie

However, I find there are large gaps in my collection from the Mame 0.78 and the most current release. For example, I don't have games like Mad Dog McGee, Mortal Kombat 4, Space Invaders and many others in this set. And those are some of my essentials. I tried bringing over the games from the new sets, but again, they fail to load.

space invaders is in 0.78 (invaders.zip), mad dog mcree no, mk4 no.

I tried bringing over the games from the new sets, but again, they fail to load.

of course. anything not in the 0.78 romset will not work, ever :) if you want to use later games, then you need to find out which of the supported MAMEs (or fbneo) supports them (check the gamelists or DATs), acquire the relevant set, transfer to your pi, and install and associate the relevant emulator with the rom via https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand

@jimiretro Usually you get a message only on errors.
If the mount command worked, then check if the roms folder is populated, then start EmulatonStation.

@jorgejohnson72 You can exit EmulationStation (from the Quit menu) and run, from the command line:

sudo apt install p7zip

Go back to EmulationStation by typing emulationstation.

Thanks @thorr69

I found deleting the RTB files in:
retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot/save-data/Kickstarts/

Then restarting sorted out the issues I was having. I think there were some leftovers from the other files causing a conflict perhaps. Sorted now though.

@leon21
You can find old versions of Retropie here - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releases

To be honest, I would try a different version of the rom and see if that works rather than downgrading Retropie.

@mitu thank you for thee replay it really help so much thank you again

@yfzdude thank you for replying, I feel that I do have to research/find other methods of transferring ROMs to my Pi/RetroPie though than this flashdrive, because frankly I've had more flashdrives fail than MicroSDs! (blame the amount of moving parts I guess...).

Are you sure your USB drive is mounted as /mnt/Retro Drive ? Is the user that's running EmulationStation (RetroPie installation user) able to access the driver and its contents ?

@jamrom2 If you removed the brackets from the file names, then you have to remove the bracket from the script too. :

croppedfilename=${filename//Disk*.atr/}

You know, it's a quick and dirty script, written only to save time with the common format. If you change the format of your filenames, then you have to adapt the script to your format.

[just whispering and OT]
@clyde And the Sega Megadrive & Genesis Classics where already mentioned/discussed in that thread more then once :P maybe it would be time to split that one into "collection of sources" and "announcements for sales" for items from "sources" %^]

@mitu
Tried it on a 4k tv and now it works

Hello,

thanks to all of you.

Now I nderstand that I dont need to edit emulator.cfg, just lanch runcommand.

Thanks

Francesco

@adambegood Thank you i did think it might be that. Thanks for your reply

@mitu Ok I will have a look on that. Thank you
