@screech said in Manual metadata disappears when games lists updated?:

Hi @Matt-Bauler

Can you tell me an exemple of mismatch and your configuration ?

I'll check what's going wrong 😉

For info, Universal XML Scraper 2 is comming 😉 (Like winter 😛 )

Just started out in NES games as a test and about 80% were correct. Some examples:
Addams Family, The (USA) = Baseball Sumulator 1.000
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - DragonStrike (USA) = Karnov
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - Heroes of the Lance (USA) = Kid Kool
Adventures of Lolo 2 (USA) = The Krion Conquest
Adventures of Lolo 3 (USA) = Krusty's Fun House.

Checked the database:

Adventures of Lolo 2 (USA).nes
CRC: 862AB1E5

Checked the game it was scraping instead and the CRC didn't match or anything...no sign of that I can see of why it would pull Thr Krion Conquest instead...

exactly what it expected in the database but scraped a completely different game? I used the default settings and the roms are all verified against no-intro's dat files. I even tried different reorderings of how it scrapes in the advanced settings and that just made it worse.

Also, how do I get the new xmls to stick in the system exactly once they are scraped with the program? I know you need root access and to stop emulationstation or something but don't know the exact way...

Thanks a bunch acris, that cleared up everything.

Universal_XML_Scraper passes and uses Neo-Geo MVS

Of course you can. Just use a file manager/transfer app and connect to your Recalbox though SAMBA, either with the host recalbox or the ip of your Recalbox.

I added the line to load my fba_libretro.cfg file, but it doesn't work.

Also, I've tried to configure retroarch (I move through the menu using a keyboard), but when I try to map a button from the joystick, it doesn't recognise it. Do I need to press anything before trying to map it (Enter doesn't work).

Thanks again.

@abunille The correct location of themes to be used would be recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/themes instead of recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/themes. No root access needed and if an update comes along, you will keep your themes. 😉

Hello @boblablah
you need to add roms (*wad) in doom folder /recalbox/share/roms/prboom

Check readme.txt

Just copy the files in the corresponding folder. You can use either .zip files or uncompressed roms. To refresh the game library, go to the Menu, then Games Settings then Update Games Lists

Eudora Bigshot is the best choice to your need... Its clean and show only the cover of the game

Thank you it worked!

it is not directly a size issue. it is not related to the mbr. it is a timeout issue. if the disk is not recognized fast enough i switch to the sdcard. then the disk is recognize (too late) and visible in es. i could increase the timeout or make an option for it.

Boot and use Parted Magic or GParted ISO CD-ROM.
You can shrink partition with it.

I have no access via USB or networkcable as soon as it boots recalbox.
I can only start the recovery mode and there everything works.
I also tried some other SD-Cards with linux or win on it and everything works fine.

Can I do anything with cmdline or config? If not i quess there is no other option as reinstalling recalbox from scratch. 😜

After running /recalbox/scripts/moonlight/Moonlight.sh clean it worked!!!
Thank you!

@subs did not work 😉 - will follow @voljega's advice.

@lackyluuk Eventuell könntest du mir die PN erneut zukommen lassen.
Gibt es einen Workflow wie man vorgehen soll? Habe mich gerade auf GitHub registriert, muss mich dort aber wohl erstmal einlesen.

this didn't work for me sadly. I use a dvi monitor and set it for dvi correctly but after a restart that doesn't involve pulling the plug for 3 seconds its a black screen. Strange part for me is that I had it working perfectly but I screwed up an unrelated aspect of my sd card so I just said oh well and reflashed a fresh install, set it up as before including dvi but I get the black screen now. everything else works great including jack audio lirc for kodi, on/off/reset/led, usb encoder, etc. its an slightly older gateway monitor if that matters at all.

@neolao has already quite some big requests from me ... But he is just ignoring them 😄

If you get the UNIBIOS and put it (neogeo.zip) into MAME and FBA_LIBRETRO you can play whatever version of Metal Slug you prefer. No matter if it's AES, or MVS. You can even switch it. So...

Without UNIBIOS

Place the normal NeoGeo Bios into the neogeo, the mame, or the fba_libretrofolder Put the Metal Slug Games (zip) into the preferred system (I recommend fba_libretro) Have fun

WIth UNIBIOS
