Re: My Extras installs not showing up?

There's en Emulationstation setting I i ever knew about.
Main Menu > Other Settings > "Parse Gamelists Only" that was set ON.
When on, it ignores files in rom folders if they don't have an image scraped?
Turning it to OFF made everything appear.

Kodi 16 works with AirPlay music, and video if you haven't moved on to iOS9.

Maelstrom is there, but it crashes back to "PORTS".
Edit:
My previous build is messing up your install script.
My fault.

A lot of new stuff has gone in the past few days, including a few things that we didn't think would be possible before, mainly for those on Pi 3's. If it's been a while since you checked out the repo, I encourage you to take a look. :)

Maybe this thread should be stickied?

@schmulkfuster FoFix is now in the repo for you to take a shot at. A bit choppy on a pi3, but playable enough for me to score 5 stars on a bass song. :)

Thanks @zerojay! My PI is temporarily being used for some neopixel fun but I'll check it out very soon! Thanks! (Also, need to buy a second PI!) 😄

great stuff mate. thank you very much and keep up a good work ;)

zerojay

Maybe I'll keep updating this thread for new additions.

Something that I've been working on for quite a while and made the occasional post about was my RetroPie-Extra repository. I figured that with the new forum and with the amount of content included in it now, I should probably properly announce it to the community.

For those of who you aren't familiar, I've been contributing quite a few new ports to the RetroPie ports menu recently....

And I want to say a big THANK YOU to you! Very much appreciated, yes indeed.

zerojay

I'm going to be taking a little break away from porting stuff to RetroPie. I'm about to move to a new city for a new job so I won't have time until I'm settled in, probably within a month or so. I'll still be around (when I have internerd access) in the meantime. Keep posting suggestions and ideas to the Github as issues and I'll get to them when I can.

Thanks.

@zerojay have a good move and a great new job man! Take care for now.

I am having some issues with the Streets of Rage Remake port. When I try to save settings and exit to the title screen at any time, the game crashes and my settings do not save.

I also had an issue where the Pi crashed when I tried to exit to Emulation Station by pressing the Esc key on my keyboard (the normal way to exit on Windows.)

The game also freezes when you try to drop your savegame file from Windows to the folder on the Pi and try to start the game.

Using RetroPie 3.7 with a Pi 3.

EDIT: I think I figured it out, it doesn't like 2x Normal screen mode, meaning not as sharp a picture as is possible and no vsync. Is there a possibility that this could be added in the future?

Thanks for all your work on this :)

No.

@zerojay Oh? Can you elaborate please?

@Charco zerojay doesn't maintain upstream code, he only provides a simple as is installer for the system to be played on the pi. If people want further development on stuff they are on their own to do it themselves.

Charco

Oh I realise that, it's just that it's not an upstream issue, it works on the Windows version as intended. Thanks for your reply.

It is an upstream issue. Windows working as intended has absolutely no bearing on any of this. There is nothing I can do. The engine authors need to fix it.

Charco

Ok sorry!

@zerojay I've seen "Beebem" is available on your Extra-unstable Repository and I tried it out. I got the sound working when setting audio_driver = "alsa" in the retroarch.cfg (all) but I can't save my settings in the menu under "DISCS" because Beebem crashes as soon I click on "DISCS". When I restart Bebeem, all my sound settings are gone and I have to set them again.
You wrote Disk load issue fixed and wondered if you already made a newer build?

teller

@zerojay I could run .ssd roms from emulationstation by putting this in the emulators.cfg:
beebem="/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 1 "beebem %ROM%"
default="beebem"

zerojay

@teller The script already adds that line. Also, it sets up beebem to run through X. Not having X running when you click on disk load is what causes the crash. With beebem running on top of X, there is no crash. Again, already setup that way for you with my script. Also, beebem is not a libretro core, so no tinkering with retroarch.cfg is going to change anything for beebem whatsoever.

teller

Ok, thanks.
What do you mean by running Beebem through X?
I would like to save my audio settings. I've seen there is a "beebeem.registry" file in the hidden folder ".Beebem".
