herbfargusMemberThegamesdb treats them as two separate platforms as the box art is completely different for each system. The real issue is why it wasn’t reading the megadrive platform (unless it just doesn’t have entries for your roms yet)
herbfargusMemberThe only thing I can think of is to check your power supply to make sure there are no faulty connections and also to check the source of the SD cards (eBay can be sketchy).I get sandisk cards off amazon typically and haven’t had issues.
But it sounds like there is something going on that’s causing corruption either hardware related or the process in which you flash your cards.
I had one SD card corrupt and I was never able to salvage it and just had to bite the bullet (I attempted many times with a live cd of the parted magic distro) since then I’ve bought SD cards with smaller memory in sets of 5 so its not so bad when the SD card fails.
herbfargusMemberHow did you copy it? Did you use win32diskimager?

herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberBTW if you’re using snes controllers, the configs for mupen64plus are different than lr-mupen64. it might be easiest for you to make a backup of your image and do a full binary update to include the latest autoconfigs for the n64, so you don’t have to mess with manual configs.

Or you can wait a few weeks for the next release of retropie.
herbfargusMemberAre you sure you’re using pifba?
herbfargusMemberherbfargusMemberIf you convert it to an mp4 sure. I don’t think animated gifs are supported with omxplayer, and definitely aren’t with fbi.
herbfargusMemberDid you follow this page?

11/28/2015 at 14:24 in reply to: "Times Played" and "Last Played" stats are not persisted after reboot #110855herbfargusMemberThe only other thing I could think of is to check the permissions of your gamelist.xml
herbfargusMemberDid you follow the wiki and note the extensions?
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Atari-800-and-5200
herbfargusMemberDid you update your setup script first?
herbfargusMemberI vaguely remember something like this happening with mine and I think it ended up being a corrupt usb stick/ sd card
herbfargusMemberNo worries, I have a placeholder from rookervik for the genesis that will more or less fit the theme:
https://github.com/HerbFargus/es-theme-paradox/blob/master/genesis/art/main2.png
Keep up the good work
herbfargusMemberIf all you’re trying to do is change the graphic, there’s no need to remove the symlink, all you have to do is change the es_systems.cfg
see:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Genesis-Megadrive#advanced-configurationherbfargusMemberThe end goal is to have it incorporated into emulationstation but that just depends on how much free time sselph has, in the meantime I think it would be wise for us to kill emulationstation in the script before the scraper is loaded from the retropie setup script as to not run into the same issues mentioned above.

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/1099
Thanks for the tip.
herbfargusMemberInstead of deleting them I usually just move the rom folders into an unused folder just in case I ever do want to use the emulators in the future:
hopefully in the future we’ll change the setup script to be able to install/uninstall emulators- but that may be a while
There are lots of ways to do it, just personal preference really
herbfargusMemberStill needs graphics and sound plugins installed from the built in installer. I may look at automating those in the future, but at least it’s up and running for now.
herbfargusMemberDon’t worry, the plainness will be fixed. It’s definitely a work in progress. May take another 6 months with all the systems I just threw at tronky ha ha but I intend on finishing it. As there are changes I update the repo which you can update from the theme installer, and any changes I have made should show up.
And tronky I’m more than happy to chat on irc when you want, I pop on the retropie channel occasionally.
herbfargusMemberRookervik and I had the same issue (I honestly just used inkscape cause I don’t have adobe) but emulationstation is very picky about how the svgs are drawn (probably an old svg library) so its important to test in emulationstation always before you add anything as it may look fine and then you turn it on and it doesn’t show up (happened many times to me in my testing ha ha)
You probably have a better idea than me. You could also ask rookervik as he has illustrator and did all the graphics for the carbon theme.
herbfargusMemberYeah I saw that last night, I’d be interested in seeing how it works out.
herbfargusMemberI’ve never tried using two keyboards, but if you have two of the exact same controllers they will work fine- I have 3 logitech f310 controllers and have no issues with them (well minus a little glitch with the top right trigger, but it can be skipped for most things) I also have 3 snes controllers that work fine too.
herbfargusMemberJust for reference this is a roadmap of what is left so far based off of everything on the default simple theme: feel free to use your discretion on which devices to include or not include (as some may be too obscure or specific to matter and probably aren’t worth your time, just thought I’d include the list based off of the theme I’m working from)

Same issue: rebooting doesn’t write the gamelist.xml you have to select quit in order for it to save changes.
herbfargusMemberIt’s
sudo nano /boot/config.txtAnd uncommenting means to remove the
#before the line of textThen you press
ctrl+xto save your changes.herbfargusMembern64 is always hit and miss. the only thing I’ve gotten to run semi decent is mario kart on the gles2n64 plugin.
herbfargusMemberDid you make sure that they were the right file extension?
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/
Also did you refresh emulationstation by pressing f4 or selecting quit from the start menu?
I don’t know about expanding the filesystem with berryboot, I’ve never used that before.
herbfargusMemberIf it is a firmware issue then reverting to older firmware is currently the only solution. I’ll test it some when I’ve got some time to verify your results and see which firmware it breaks at.
herbfargusMemberThis should help with the audio:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Sound-Issues
herbfargusMemberThat would be consistent with the weird workaround where the back right trigger (or top right) bugs out the first time on emulationstation input. It’s likely due to that same issue.
herbfargusMemberYou really should follow the wiki:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation
herbfargusMemberMulti hotkey support was recently integrated, See this page:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Nintendo-64#example-mupen64pluscfg
You should be able to use notepad but not sure if that affects permissions or not. I usually use the editor within winscp or nano
herbfargusMemberaccess your autoconfig file for the controller you are using in this folder:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
and then remove all the hotkey references that you don’t want (for example in the following take out all these references except the input exit emulator button and input enable hotkey button
input_save_state_btn = "5" input_exit_emulator_btn = "9" input_load_state_btn = "4" input_reset_btn = "2" input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0" input_menu_toggle_btn = "0" input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8" input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"herbfargusMemberIts alphabetical so the only way to swap it is to manually modify the order of your /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
