I have added them all in 00-gamelists-00 :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share

So you can copy them to the googledrive.

No problem.
It was a fast conversion.

Do you know if anyone started creating these systems in official Retropie themes?

It's a kind of request if an artist read this 😉

Folly

@dteam

I don't know.
We have to take a look.

BTW. Did you make a backup of your old gamelists if something went wrong ?

Good idea.
Perhaps you can also drop this, somewhere else.

I tested one of your gamelist file with .zip and .7z. It's working for Both .

@dteam

Yeah, It's working, that's quite nice.
We are improving bit by bit, very cool !

Curious, if someone will reply on your new thread ;-)

Request for artists working on themes - needs for (lr-mess/MAME) additions is not a popular thread for now... we'll see. If nothing happen this month, I'll try to poc artists directly in their themes threads.

I posted this this morning
RetroPie - Convert Non-Functional Videos - Easy free batch method on Windows

It works really well

Cool, I see you are using the for loop. 👍
This makes life easy. 😃

You can also use that as a video file size reducer.

It's a great open source software , in the bin folder you have a ffplay.Maybe It could be use as a video player in retropie (maybe they already use this one, I'm not an expert in that). I read something about vulkan also.

Hi today I ran amiga CD32 system with lr-mess and Mame, but I had to do some modifications

This line works (note: I use an amigacd32 folder)

lr-mess-system-cd32-cdrm = "/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/run_mess.sh /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so /opt/retropie/configs/amigacd32/retroarch.cfg \cd32 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame -autoframeskip -cdrm %ROM%"

These need to be changed

mame-system-cd32-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c amiga -cdrm %ROM%"
mame-system-cd32-cdrm-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -autoframeskip amiga -cdrm %ROM%"

By

mame-system-cd32-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c cd32 -cdrm %ROM%"
mame-system-cd32-cdrm-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -autoframeskip cd32 -cdrm %ROM%"

To run it with MAME, we must use the Bios name and not amiga

I will put it in the issues section, so I can look at this problem later.

I had a quick look.
It seems it is a problem for all Amiga systems and perhaps more systems.
If I remove the sed part of amiga in line 266 then it uses the mamedev naming for all Amiga systems.
But then we don't use the RetroPie naming for the Amiga systems.

Well I have to dig deeper into it.

EDIT :
I found the problem.
It was a mistake.
I used the newsystems array instead of the systems array.
I fixed this, but the game rom directory will still be amiga.
It will fix others systems too, no doubt about that.

Can you check this post again about gamate ?

Seems I didn't added a comment in the first post about a fix.

Hi,
I saw that you are interested in Philips CDI, in an old thread.
If you want to run Philips CDI you should be able to do it with this project now.

I did a test with gmaster (Game Master) and you did the change and It works. You fixed It. You can add a comment in the first post.
