If anyone is interested, I've released the source code here: https://github.com/zayamatias/retroscraper

Enjoy :-)

Thank you, by any chance do you know a different bluetooth controller that's cheaper than this?

@agtrigormortis that is cool.

@quicksilver
Thank you!

@mitu Thanks so much! :)

Full ack!

IMO the retropie-project and ROMS/Images are two different things - even if they depend on eachother to make sense.
And therefore retropie should never implant any direct channels to any sites or databases containing copyrightet material.

It is no Problem to find enough food for the rom-folders by just searching the internet with Google or any other search-engine.
The retropie-project should stay clean, there is no reason to offer any shortcuts to rom-collections imo.

what do you think of it.

@ZzackK no, sorry, ARRM is mono thread

@mitu said in Cleaning gamelist.xml software (PC)?:

Have you tried https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11074/a-gamelist-xml-cleaner-tool ? Seems to do the job you're looking for.

Thanks for the tip. Didn´t do exatcly what i wanted...but it seems to clean up my messy gamelist.xml and that is a big plus!

Thank you guys I appreciate the feedback!

@jcode said in Software dev questions.:

All of my questions are dependable on what type of software i wrote?

If it's software that includes links to roms or downloaders for them we obviously don't condone it because it will do nothing but damage the project and earn you a nice ban. But there are plenty of web/theme managers scattered throughout the forum so if it's similar to those I don't see an issue with sharing it with the community

No...the software does not contain any illegal stuff. I would never do anything to hurt RetroPie and it´s community.

Thanks for your answer.

ok i will try reinstalling it.

Hey thanks, please let me know your feedback and I will try and make some improvements when I have time.

@Mikester said in ControlBlock does not work:

Thanks for your reply.

It works! I tried to uninstall everythink and followed the steps. This time I was succesful.

Thanks for your help

When you say that you "uninstalled everything" are you talking about uninstalling/reinstalling RetroPie and everything as well? Or just the ControlBlock stuff?

Mine was working fine, and then stopped and is behaving exactly as you describe. I tried removing all the ControlBlock stuff and reinstalling but the problem persists. The only thing I can think of is to do a clean install of the entire OS...I just really don't look forward to going through all of that again.

@Loren said in 2 questions.:

How do I completely remove the powerblock software (per say) from retropie. I built a SNES with one, but then flashed my image to another card for a different build and I don't need/want it on that build. Is there any way this can be done?

You can find instructions for uninstalling the PowerBlock driver at https://github.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock#uninstalling-the-service-andor-the-binary.
