[Solved]Having issues with changing roms directory (hdd)
-
Voljega, your are luky but Stephan say us on fb that doesn't work... For me it's a problem of power usb :s. Stephan your hdd makes noises as if the board was jumping? Can you watched if it is recognized in Kodi. We will set like that;)
-
@stephan-maat which wiki are you following ??? There is an option inside recalbox to just -add- a USB storage device without the need for editing files. If the hdd s not recalbox-ready, recalbox will just create the directory structure it needs (no data erased). You can then move all your roms easily on your PC then plug back the HDD on recalbox Dunno if your HDD is FAT, NTFS or EXT4, but i strongly recommend you do not use NTFS, it's pretty slow

@reivaax Oh sorry, I wasn't aware of the facebook discussion

I think i may found the problem. My usb thumb drive had issues too with the build in option (yes i found it, stupid me) . Every time i booted recalbox it got stuck on a black screen. When i booted it without it, everything was fine. After i formated to fat32 it booted fine. So now gonna backup my hdd and format that again. Sorry for being a noob (ask me something about Android and i probably know the answer. Lol). Thanks for your help so far. Oow 1 more question (actually 2). Does anyone know a good program that automatically renames roms and maybe a good rom scraper for pc (x86). I got one for x64, but using and older x86 laptop now. Problem is i don't know where i got scraper_windows_amd64. It's very good and i hope there's an X86 version of itm Thanks again

You can find the very good softs Universal Rom Scraper and Universal Rom Cleaner by Screech there : http://blog.recalbox.com/forums/topic/soft-universal-rom-cleaner-nettoyez-vos-romset-dune-main/ http://blog.recalbox.com/forums/topic/soft-universal-xml-scraper-scrappez-vos-roms-en-fr/ Ask for help in english there if you need it I think there are maybe also engligh topics on both subject too
-
there is a pinned topic for an inline scraping tool, fullscrape. It runs by itself on the pi, no need of any PC
-
Thanks will check it out tomorrow
-
If you want this is the english post about Universal XML Scraper It works in french and english with a lots of possibility and it's very simple to use. don't hesitate to ask if you have question.

Got 1 more question, does anyone know s got tool or instructions on how to format a 2TB hdd to fat32. Can't seem to find one.
-
Btw: i found my old scraper again. So for the people who want to check it out them self. Just put 'scraper.exe' on your rom directory and run it. https://gifthub.com/sselph/scraper/releases

try guiformat http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm there are some other recommended tools on the wiki, like mini tool. It's a partition manager that can do the job.
-
Thanks, but i found the 1 used before but now for x86
-
Thanks guys. I think i'm getting there ?
-
Everything works, accept Atari lynx & Famicom Disk System. . So i'm happy. Thanks again
-
You'll need BIOS for both of them
-
Thanks found them. Only issue now is virtual boy.
-
Try other roms, the GoodSet for that emulator contains several roms which are not working... You can also play Vortual Boy on Recalbox in real 3D wwith anaglyph glasses (the old red/blue ones !)

<p style="text-align: left;">Gonna get the good roms (also neogeo & mame) from a friend of mine. He uses hyperspin, so his roms are all ready fixed and checked.</p>
-
I think this topic can be closed. Got 20 systems in recalbox almost everything with full rom sets (and every rom has his cover) . Thanks for the help
-
Maybe one more question, can't find the answer on Internet. When using mame 78 roms. Sometimes it's a small screen (not full 4:3). I know it has to do with the resolution the rom is in. But is it possible to stretch that to full screen 4:3?
