petrockblogKeymasterNot sure what else you expect as a reply ? The site is down – it’s not connected to us. Your first post has the error clearly illustrated and it can be confirmed by using a web browser.
It was down longer than a week recently BTW, they have had major hosting issues previously. I have no idea what the problem is this time – possibly their new host has not worked out for them.
petrockblogKeymasterThe are hardcoded inside ES – it would require manually recompiling ES with just the names for the rom version you are using.
petrockblogKeymasteryes – read the error!
“It appears that thegamesdb.net isn’t up” – the website is offline currently.
petrockblogKeymasterFor your information: The next revision of the PowerBlock (rev. 1.1 and above) will have additional pins that will enable you to use the PowerBlock also without directly attaching it the GPIO pins via the 2×6 pin header.
Revision 1.0 would need some soldering for this right now …
petrockblogKeymaster[quote=119108]I wonder why you havent seen any responses yet. We cant be the only ones that want to know this? Im about to pull the trigger on my first retropi project and want to use the pi3. Is there alternative control blocks for arcade buttons if this one isnt compatible?
[/quote]
Hi everyone, sorry for this delayed answer. The ControlBlock is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3!

Many thanks
[/quote]
Can you tell me what kind of problems you are facing with the ControlBlock?
petrockblogKeymasterCould you please post the content of the ControlBlock drivers configuration file
/etc/controlblockconfig.cfgMaybe something in that file needs to be re-configured.
petrockblogKeymasterpage up / down doesnt work until ES is restarted – known issue – https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/2
petrockblogKeymasterretrosmc installs retropie on top of osmc. Actually, the work is mostly in the launching of ES from within Kodi etc, as RetroPie-Setup does work on OSMC out of the box (from the terminal at least).
I believe most of the RetroPie-Setup configuration stuff should be fine – and the system is set up to be able to run from any user – but as I don’t actually use OSMC there may be a few issues here and there.
I don’t know about 3rd party config tools – they may well make assumptions regarding the location of stuff.
03/29/2016 at 21:19 in reply to: Adding scrapers to ES source? Questions (Was Hey Jools,,,,) #121883petrockblogKeymastera good idea, then everyone can benefit.
petrockblogKeymasterRead the documentation again. The zip file is the berryboot software – you extract that first to a sdcard. Then you install the im256 from a USB stick when booted into berryboot.
petrockblogKeymasterRead the documentation – https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/scraper
petrockblogKeymasterThe berryboot images are provided as is, due to them being requested. They are installed in the same way as any other berryboot image (see the berryboot project documentation) – you put them on a fat32 USB as a file and install them from the berryboot menu.
I am unable to offer support for them though, as I don’t use them.
03/29/2016 at 19:32 in reply to: Adding scrapers to ES source? Questions (Was Hey Jools,,,,) #121860petrockblogKeymastereither it could be worked around in ES by replacing – with ” “, but tbh the gamesdb search probably needs improving.
Why not just use sselph’s scraper which uses checksums and does a much better job ?
03/29/2016 at 17:18 in reply to: Adding scrapers to ES source? Questions (Was Hey Jools,,,,) #121833petrockblogKeymasterok. I think the problem you are having is because we modified the getCleanName function to not strip parentheses and your COCO roms I suspect have data in parentheses? (the games db is quite fussy on input)
A quick fix is to add a removeParenthesis to the scraper code where it calls cleanName, but I think I will add a new FileData function for DisplayName and CleanName, or rename your roms of course.
03/29/2016 at 06:38 in reply to: Adding scrapers to ES source? Questions (Was Hey Jools,,,,) #121793petrockblogKeymasterPlease post a unified diff against RetroPie master branch (via pastebin or similar)
petrockblogKeymasterwhat is the output of “tail /var/log/syslog” after plugging in the usb stick ?
Please double check you formatted as fat32, and not exFAT. Also please make sure the folder name is all lowercase.
petrockblogKeymasterI removed it as I dont want the forum to be filled with copies of spam – should we also keep all the spam posted to the forum in another thread too ? :)
The user was deleted. Can we move on now rather than being so dramatic about it.
petrockblogKeymasterYou may have already damaged your /etc/network/interfaces file – the content you posted above is not correct. Also the instructions above for ifconfig has a typo too (should be wlan0)
the default /etc/network/interfaces file contains
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) # Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd # For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf' # Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d: source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet manual allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.confpetrockblogKeymasterWhy are you reposting the spam on the forum ? There are mechanisms for reporting spam and spam accounts, and there is a thread already open – see above.
petrockblogKeymasterpetrockblogKeymasterFor posts there is a spam button. If you get a spam PM, you can click report on the user on their profile. No need to open a thread or PM really.
petrockblogKeymaster[quote=121580]Lucky or not, doesn’t instill confidence in the back-end operations
[/quote]
yeah because other forums have never had a spam registration – how terrible of us to let it happen. You can turn off PMs in your settings also.
petrockblogKeymasterget the NTSC rom rather than the PAL
