Ok, I made a couple edits https://pastebin.com/uT9TjqGR to fix the errors but now I'm hitting this while writing the excel file. I get the file but it errors...

@mrsco I've found the error, can you re-download the script and try again ?
-
@cyperghost Sorry, I didn't see your update (probably edited). I've corrected the link, so the
:is removed.
I've thought about adding the custom collections part, I just don't use any and didn't know they're saved. I'll see about this next week and give it a try. -
@mitu No problem
custom collections are stored in/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/collectionsand their naming is always
custom-AaBbCcDdEe.cfg
AaBbCcDdEe represents the name of the collection ;)Inside is just plain text with Romname and complete path.
-
Huh, neat.
-
I get the same error as @MrSco , but I will keep a close eye on this thread, since i think this looks amazing! so excited to play with this in the future

@cyperghost Shoudn't be so hard to add, I just need to compute the fullpath (which I already do anyway to check if the Rom exists) and then parse the .cfg file.

@detron Have you tried after my last update (1h ago ?) to download the script and try again ? If you still get the error - run with the -d flag and upload the gamelist.xml for the system with the error on pastebin.com so I can take a look.

I got the error about 2 minutes before my post, which was after your update. but I will try again from scratch.
thank you for the assistance. I would love this to be a retropie standard, allowing you to create a report with ease

I still get the same error, if there is any other info that I could provide besides the info below, I am happy to grab any info that might help.
here is the pastebin

@detron @MrSco Beginner's error - gist.github.com changes the URL after an edit, so my new version was at a different URL. Try again now, I have updated the URL in the initial post. Overwrite the initial
export.pyscript by downloading it againwget -O export.py https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cmitu/73cf0783e9e1e4e02d8ce5c44f7a8984/raw/7f61f714bdf9fd49a690cf75cc719b8ffcdf404f/gamelist.py -
a lot more activity now, but a different error happened.
again, thank you for your help.

@detron Please give me the
gamelist.xmlfile where the error occurs. When running with -d parameter, it will show you which system is trying to parse. Get the system'sgamelist.xmlfile and upload it to pastebin.com. -
I got it to work. the problem was with a pre-built gamelist file (for a system I have zero roms for.)
this is really cool, thank you for the program, and the support
the prebuilt gamelist has some foreign letters that may be the issue. the file is too big for the free pastebin, but if you really need it, I am sure I can upload it latter to google drive or something for you
-
@detron Please do, I'd like to have a look at it. Normally, the gamelist is generated by ES and should be valid UTF8 (which the script can handle), if it's generated externally it might have a different encoding. If you can upload the file as-is (no pasting), that would allow me to try and find a fix/solution for the error.

-
@detron Thank you for the file. The problem is seems was in the logging part, which was tripping on the game's game. It should be fixed now (URL updated in the 1st post), so you can re-download the script and try again with your initial gamelist.
wget -O export.py https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cmitu/73cf0783e9e1e4e02d8ce5c44f7a8984/raw/0ee908ff097fca55c4db5911bd78d794666af59c/gamelist.py -
thank you for the help others may be saved by your edit, but I have zero roms for that system. I just thought the idea of a gamelist with all images was brilliant. add your few roms, and the art would show up.
-
I have a strong conviction that @Used2BeRX will love this tool! :)
