Nestopia Database update question

Used2BeRX

Hey everybody,

I'm working with one of the guys on Nestopia on the XBox side of things. There are some translations that have been patched that don't work as-is in Nestopia. This requires that we make some changes to NstDatabase.xml. So far the additions to that file have worked like a charm.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Nestopia on the RetroPie, which I thought was going to be a simple replacement of the database.

I've already copied the emulator from /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-nestopia/ and then pasted it to /home/pi/RetroPie/Emulators/lr-nestopia/ and pointed the /opt/retropie/configs/nes/emulators.cfg file to the new emulator location.

I was then able to put the new database in that folder, where before all of these steps I didn't have permissions to.

Doing a check on /dev/shm/runcommand.log, nestopia is now loading from my new spot for it and other games that weren't a problem before now load from this new location.

However, the game I tried to "fix" with the updated database info still just kicks you back to the romlist as it did before.

I'm wondering 2 things:

If there are individual game configs I can delete somewhere and try again?
Is there a static command somewhere in Nestopia that is pointing to the specific location of /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-nestopia/NstDatabase.xml?

If number 2 is true, how can I get around the permissions so I can edit that specific file?

THANKS!!!!!
