Creating ES gamelists with media for MAME/lr-mame/lr-mess
-
I must say everything looks great now !
Not sure if this is the best approach :
<releasedate>unknown</releasedate>In emulationstation I see :
05/01/{910Isn't it better to just do ? :
<releasedate/>To display :
unknownI did not see a message in the description for techni4, can you add ? :
"Start the game by resetting with F3" -

"Start the game by resetting with F3"It's strange, on my pi I read Unknown . Do you have the last ES update?
For F3, maybe I forgot to save my file. I'll redo it. NEW EDIT: Done, on the drive now. The comment was with the wrong rom (sarc110 instead of techni4) Sorry for that.
-
I see that the F3 note is fixed.
I tested the release tag on my pi4 (just like you have it) :
I tested the release tag on my VM x86_64 (gives 05/01/{910) :
Updated ES from source to the latest version, now gives :
05/01/75910 -
@Folly
Well, maybe it's a request for ES team! It's strange. I'm gonna let it as it for now and see if I can found some infos somewhere.How do you do to get clean picture on your PI?
-
Why not just use <release/>.
Or is it that you want it filled in, so you know the release date is unknown.
If so, you could add a note to the description.I always use an OS with Desktop environment installing RetroPie on top of that.
So then I can just run ES from the Desktop and make screenshots with the print-screen-key of ES/mame or RetroArch.
Testing or making videos becomes also more easy that way. -

Done, now on the G Drive. I'll continue with classich and your videos
BTW, Geigeki Go Go Shooting is a fun game and good stuff in the other systems as Seal 50-in-1! (Tiger rescue game). "All in one" is a great addition to Retropie!

Perfect, looks the same now on my VM, saying "unknown" !

I agree.
Now that we have the videos we have a much better overview of the good stuff ;-)
Btw. I had some trouble pressing a button that enabled "pause".
I think "Geigeki Go Go Shooting" deserves a better video.What do you think, should I also make a new video for lexiseal (Tiger Rescue) ?

Yes, if you have time. Why not. for the pause button, it's button #5 in the settings. I set it as "start" button.

I have updated both.
Do you still have the link ? -

Yes it makes a huge difference. It's visually more attractive! It now makes you want to play!
-
Cool !

Do you still have the link ?Your two new videos are now on my G Drive. Thanks

Hi Folly,
A part of the classich roms come from game and watch Madrigal romset. I have a SSH issue with my scraper today. Do you have time to scrape game and watch and put only the videos on your drive. With that, i’ll be able to do all games on the gamelist. Thanks -
I will see if I can do some scraping.
-
@Folly I'm inserting as much roms as possible from the romset you pointed me too...it will still take some time....
Once this is done I'll be creating extra "systems" in the DB so it will Mao to you gamelists.
Last but not least, I've implemented a 'sort' command in retrosctaper that will take the ROMs and place them in their corresponding system folder. This is not yet released though.

Great !

Could be a nice feature but I am not sure I want roms moved without my knowledge.
Or do I have to look at it from another perspective ?
Will it be off by default ?( hope I did not disappoint you with this message ;-) )

@Folly This will be an optional feature (--sort) and it will copy but not 'move' the roms so you can have a look at how the final structure would look like... :-)
No feedback is disappointing if it makes sense :-)
-
Ok, I understand.
Will have a look when you have implemented it. -

You should also look at the
mame-slromset. ( probably all non-arcade machines (mess) )
Multiple games are packed as one zip file sofwarelist/hash file wise.
The files have to be extracted to get the individual games like msx1_cart.zip contains the msx1 carts.
Understandable ?
