PSX Gamelist issue- Really Appreciate the help here!!
-
Hello gang!!
I was hoping that I could get some guidence here... I have searched and read just about every link to this problem online that there is and I still cant solve my problem.. But I have done my homework before posting this.
I installed a new PSX game last night and after doing so... I noticed that my PSX game previews did not work anymore...
All I had left was a list of games but no box art or descriptions...
I went into the PSX rom file after reading other similar situations and decided to delete the game... but in doing so i accidentally deleted the gamelist.xml file...
So, after more reading... I decided to rescrape using Steve and I now have box art and descriptions but no video preview... all my other consoles still have video..
After rescrapping there still isn't a gamelist.xml file in my psx folder....
Side note, i deleted my N64 gamelist file too... whoops... learning here
Any ideas??Also, my sd card is 100% full with only 1.6 gb left of space

Please add some info about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
If your disk is at 100%, then clear up some space first before attempting to re-scrape your games. I assume you're using Steven Selph's scraper to add artwork to your game (which you called Steve). Where are you looking for the
gamelist.xmlfiles ? Are you running the scraper from the command line or from the RetroPie-Setup's interface ? -
Steven Selph's scraper- Yes
gameslist.xml located in File Manager- Retropie- roms-psx "I deleted the file from here" and rescrapping does not repopulate them
I ran scrapper from setups interface
-
I'm trying to loacte all the system info that you are asking for ...
-
@Pie-Guy By default, the scraper will create a
gamelist.xmlin the Emulationstation config folder (~/.emulationstation/gamelists/psx), but if you're at 100% disk capacity, it might not be able to write it. -
That makes the most sense... TY for that.. in trying to figure out all of this i did a package update last night and now I have to enter ssh log in credentials everytime I start the game sysytem...
It used to just load when powered on and take me to the console menu.. any thoughts??
-
@Pie-Guy Let me guess, you followed some advice to install the
lightdmpackage to solve the auto-login problem ? -
No, maybe?? i just serched around online... lol
-
I just selected update current packages vs install... it looks like I just did a standard update... its not that big of a deal... just a difference that I noticed
Before I start deleting games... is there some game systems that have notably bigger files than others? I can start with those...
Anyways, I really appreciate the help here... means alot

The CD based games ? PS1/Sega CD/PCEngine CD. Copy/backup them to your PC.

So, I freed up 5g worth of space... tried to rescrape and it did not add a gameslist.xml file back in the rom folder
retropie/rom/psx it is still deleted... I have now deleted 8 games to the one psx game that i installed so that there is way less space then prior to install of the new psx game..
Do I need more than 5g of free space?
Or do I need to manually enter a gameslist.xml file back into that folder?
-
non of the psx games will play either
