ROM greediness
-
@adriansos666 not right. Mine takes about 2 minutes for 800gb.
-
Are you overclocking? It could be that it's reaching it's thermal limit and throttling itself down which would lead to slower parsing.
-
@adriansos666
If you are done scraping stuff, enable "parse gamelists only" (or something like that) and disable "save metadata on exit" (something like that. Once you change those ES settings your power on/off times should decrease. -
Thanks guys for reply. It's not overclocked.
@madmodder123: That's it! I remember seeing this setting in Recalbox and somehow did't think it exists in RPie too since both use ES. Misa is an imbecile!
Thanks!

One more question. I have some roms that scrapper doesn't recognize (those are not included in gamelist XML files). Is there some way (besides manualy entering them) to put those in gamelists (even without boxarts, screenshots and descriptions) so they can be seen by ES?
-
@adriansos666 Which ones? The in-built scraper is fussy as hell.
-
@AlexMurphy I mainly use UXS as it faster than scraping form games.db using built in scrapper.
-
@adriansos666 Well, UXS uses hashes to identify ROMs. If it's not grabbing the metadata it must be a bad ROM or a hack/home-brew/clone.
-
@AlexMurphy I get that. I'm sure many roms in my collection doesn't follow name convention used by UXS. Those roms are still good (most of them anyway) as they do work with emulators. Guess I have to figure out how to add those roms to the gamelist.xml for each corresponding system (even without description and arts) so they can be seen by ES when "parsing gamelists only" is enabled.
-
@adriansos666 It's not a name convention. UXS hashes the ROM file and compares it to the db.
-
@AlexMurphy I see. Thanks.
