this guide is good too..
InsecureSpike has mentioned this in a few of this posts….

i use it and always the extended procedure… it uses the usb device’s Partition unique GUID & Filesystem UUID incase you have any other usb storage on your Pi, for example if your using it for Retropie & another OS/distro also from what i gather its safer than just assigning drive names

hi have you sorted this issue?
if no, i can possibly help you!!

[gonzothegreat]

it would be even better if aloshie & nils could update, the subfolder options in emulation station to get gamelist.xml’s to work (when they get time….)

[gonzothegreat]

thank you buzz

[gonzothegreat]

what memory split have you set?

[gonzothegreat]

yup I do the same, very lucky we can do this I think

[gonzothegreat]

that’ll be wonderful, thank you lots!

[gonzothegreat]

here are some ports/homebrew games that may be nice to have added if anyone can get them running well….

i completely, understand the some of these may asking a little too much of the Pi but, can only ask or try….

i love the look of the first 8 games the most!

[gonzothegreat]

wonderful, thanks, do they have to be available via github?

[gonzothegreat]

thats awesome!! i hope….

would you mind if i sent you some links? to have a look at or to try out?
i have no idea on how to get anything that not in retropie to install or run. (embarrassingly)

[gonzothegreat]

awesome! thank you I’ll check that out later,

many thanks!

[gonzothegreat]

thank you

[gonzothegreat]

ok, think I’ve figured it out,

thanks again

[gonzothegreat]

[quote=103709]go to /etc/profile.d/

remove 10-emulationstation.sh if it exists.

make a new file – such as 10-cavestory.sh

with the contents

"$HOME/RetroPie/roms/ports/Cave Story.sh"

and it should get launched on start up (if the system is set to log in automatically).

[/quote]

ok, update…

your instructions work perfect buzz thank you!

i have one least thing, when i press start + select to reset, i get a error of

-bash: [: too many arguments

and throws me to the command line.
is there any way i can use this feature?

thanks for your help

[gonzothegreat]

so is this the only text that goes in the es_input.cfg?

this is what is in there at the moment…

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<inputList>
  <inputAction type="onfinish">
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/inputconfiguration.sh</command>
  </inputAction>
  <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="Logitech Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2">
    <input name="pagedown" type="button" id="7" value="1"/>
    <input name="start" type="button" id="9" value="1"/>
    <input name="pageup" type="button" id="6" value="1"/>
    <input name="up" type="hat" id="0" value="1"/>
    <input name="a" type="button" id="1" value="1"/>
    <input name="b" type="button" id="2" value="1"/>
    <input name="down" type="hat" id="0" value="4"/>
    <input name="right" type="hat" id="0" value="2"/>
    <input name="select" type="button" id="8" value="1"/>
    <input name="left" type="hat" id="0" value="8"/>
  </inputConfig>
</inputList>

do i add this… (below) to the text? above/below? or delete and just add the keyboard info?

<inputConfig type="keyboard" deviceName="Keyboard">
    <input name="start" type="button" id="9" value="1"/>
  </inputConfig>

thank you

[gonzothegreat]

[gonzothegreat]

I would’ve just move the whole file systems to the hdd, and that’ll auto mount!

[gonzothegreat]

[quote=103094]Check the file es_systems.cfg.
It has the informations about the emulators (commandline) and the folder to place Roms.

Or check this link:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki

[/quote]

yup i understand how the es_systems.cfg works,

i’m trying to use then for translations, hacks and so on, but just can’t get game lists to get recognised, they are all manually edited, and work if i add them to a system if its in the main carousel

[gonzothegreat]
