@pjft Thanks! Dream come true with this one. Installed and everything appears to be working great. I love the screen saver, the temps are running nicely and i have not issues with screen savers, text, or video previews. One item that is not a big deal and I solved for my build is the volume level of the screensaver videos compared to the volume of the video previews and actual games. I had to set my system volume to 92% in order to make the game and preview audio align with the screen saver audio. Originally the screen saver audio was playing about 2 times my game audio and it blew me away!
Another thought to add to what I am sure is a very long list of wants and desires of many is the ability to have a custom screen saver/single screensaver. My thought here is that you keep the random video screen saver the way it is, but can you add another option that would run a video from a designated folder? We could then create a custom screen saver video, or simply put your favorite video in a folder location and only that video would play. I am thinking it would be fun to have a custom video i would create in adobe after affects similar to what we can do for the custom splash screens. - Anyways, like I said, that is a wish list item and by no means an immediate need or fix.

Thank you for your hard work and to @fieldofcows for this addition to ES!

Edit: @pjft Any thoughts on how this build of ES 0.6-ssctl might react to the new retropie 4.2? I am assuming that when i run the update all it will load the base ES and i will then go back in and replace with 0.6-ssctl. Just wondering if you have any thoughts before i give it a try. Thanks

Did you disable the retropie splashscreen ? Please post the contents of your /boot/cmdline.txt

Note you can speed up boot by disabling "wait for network" in raspi-config.

Has saving ever worked on your setup previously? Be sure to supply all the required support information listed at:

Whats with all the rom requesting crap here? It literally takes just a couple seconds on Google to find a good source or even a complete torrent romset. I don't want to sound harsh but if you really didn't figure it out on how to get them trough Google, you really shouldn't buy the Pi at all.

@sticcino I am picking up a couple things from your message. First, most of us keep the roms zipped. There are no folders used, just a single folder filled with zip files, and the actual ROM chip files are zipped up inside them. That said, I think MAME can work with them unzipped in folders of the same names, but maybe not FBA.

Second, MAME is able to look at multiple zips to load dependencies. In other words, the necessary files can be in other zip files (or other folders, if your ROMs are not zipped), but as you say, 19xx has no parent ROM.

Assuming you are using the correct romset for the emulator you are launching, it sounds like you might have a permissions problem, either with the folder, or the files themselves. Where exactly is this "clean" folder you are using, and what emulator are you using?

Ok, found the file and it does match what you posted. There is .BIN and .bin so I must have other problem. Will try different things and see what i come up with.

Sorry

Thanks! That's the goal for me!

That worked, thanks for the link.

@WilsonB Yeah, it's a bad post, makes you look seriously lazy. You need to read the guide. MAME roms are not universal. More importantly though https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Angry with my response? don't be. Be angry with yourself. People on this forum spend countless hours repeating the same old thing over and over and over and over and over and over because people do not read the guide. For example, I wrote this. I spent time doing it to prevent this question. It complements the full guide. Have you read it? Have you read this? I say No. No. No. No. No you have not.

Did I mention I like data and statistics? Of course I could swap the graph area to a row list of games.

However I'm still having issues with a web service front end letting me have access to gamelist.xml and all the box art. Perfect would be to integrate with an existing one.

@rbaker thanks for this. Like I said am a massive n00b on this stuff.
Much appreciated.

@AndersHP Yes, I have forgotten many.

I use Renamer for Windows. It can clean up file names and delete those numbers you mentioned. Very nice program.

@screech
Ran some N64 roms and have five that won't scrap. Ran it two different times with your new software.

@PetroRie 1 hour. I use it to prepare and devour lunch, work on themes and watch stuff on YouTube. I'll occasionally get into modes of playing stuff. Before I discovered retropie I had a full LaunchBox setup on my work computer.

I'l just add; I thought the OP was talking about a personal network. I run my setup off my NAS drive, so I have plenty of space for my larger files.
