Power Outage causing issues?

Ternous

Still not coming up after just restarting emulationstation. I tried once last night before a full shutdown, then just tried this morning again. I turned it on, waited 5 minutes, then just restarted emulationstation and there is still no folder present.

@Ternous Do you use a customized es_systems.cfg ?

Ternous

Yes. I changed for fds and added cps1, cps2, and cps3.

mitu

If you customized it by copying in your ~/.emulationstation folder, then any subsequent installations from the RetroPie-Setup of additional emulators/ports will not be automatically added to the list of systems in your customized es_systems.cfg. For new added system you have to add it yourself in the customized .cfg, based on /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg.

Ok. I want to make sure I found the right stuff. If I go to /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg I find this coding for ports:

I just copy this and paste this into opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg, yes?

Yes, then restart EmulationStation and Ports should appear in the system carousel.

Success! Huzzah! I also went and installed SMW and it works perfectly. I went and re-read the documentation as to what I did and I missed about the default file not saving after any manual changes. So I was right and feel like a dummy. If I could ask one more question about it, since I'm using Rookervik's runcommand system splashes for loading screens, how do I put the launching.png files in for these (and future ports)?

mitu

The ports have only 1 splash screen if I'm not mistaken, you can't have personalized (i.e. per-port) splash screens.

Ternous

Ah ok. I wasn't sure since the folder (es-runcommand-splash-master) does have separate folders for them.

mitu

Normally you'd put them in \\retropie\configs\ports, it will pick the launching.png image from there.
You can try to use \\retropie\configs\ports\cavestory or \\retropie\configs\ports\smw to copy them, but if I'm reading the runcommand search path correctly, it will not pick them.

@mitu That worked! Thanks so much for your help with everything!

mitu

@Ternous So, did you get 2 different splashscreens to show up or just one (for both ports) ?
