A little performance trouble

djdummy

Hi, I am using Retropie 4.4 with emulestation to run MAME roms on a Raspberry Pi 3B, Power supply: 3A , no USB interfaces, Dragonrise controller and no error messages.

I have done a clear installation of Retropie (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website) and I have done a Scrapping with ScreenScrapper tool.

I can preview the videos or the images of the rooms without any problem, all is correct.
But the little problem is that I can´t see the image (splash screen) of the rom when I push to load up the game.

The directory of the images is in the roms folder, but the runcommand script is not capable to find the images.
I have try to copy the images to the "download_images" directory, but it don´t work.

I want to change the route to help runcommand to find the correct position of the images, but I don´t find the config_file to do that.
Or the other way is to copy the images to the correct directory, but I don´t know which is it.

Thanks very much.

Have you configured Runcommand to enable the splash images ? The option is Launch menu art in the configuration.

djdummy

Yes, it is activated

Runcommand looks for an image in

$SYSTEM/images/$romname-image.ext
$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$SYSTEM/$romname-image.ext

where ext can be one of .jpg or .png.

If you make sure the path corresponds to one of the above, the splash image will be found.

The second option don´t works, I have try it. I will try the second one.
I´ll tell you tomorrow.

Thanks for your help!

I have try these:
-$SYSTEM/images/$romname-image.ext
-$SYSTEM/images/media/$romname-image.ext
-$SYSTEM/images/media/images/$romname-image.ext
-$SYSTEM/$romname-image.ext
and:
-$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$SYSTEM/$romname-image.ext
-$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$SYSTEM/media/$romname-image.ext
-$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$SYSTEM/media/images/$romname-image.ext
-$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$SYSTEM/images/$romname-image.ext
But the problem continues.

@djdummy You're supposed to replace .ext with .png or .jpg, depending on what kind of image you have. Did you put .ext as file extension ?

djdummy

yes, for example:

\RETROPIE\configs\all\emulationstation\downloaded_images\mame-mame4all\astrof2.jpg
or the other variants

mitu

@djdummy said in A little performance trouble:

\RETROPIE\configs\all\emulationstation\downloaded_images\mame-mame4all\astrof2.jpg

It should be

\RETROPIE\configs\all\emulationstation\downloaded_images\mame-mame4all\astrof2-image.jpg

You are right! It works.
Now I have to duplicate and rename the scraped favorite roms.

Thanks for support!
