Hi @Bkg2k, sorry to bother you once again. but do you have an idea why system "megadrive" still finds and runs .chd-files, even though this file extension doesn't exist in es_systems.cfg? (see screenshot of last post)

in general it's good for me because i don't have to modify the file then, but i just want to understand why :) maybe because the chd-files are indexed already in gamelist.xml of system megadrive?
if it's because auf gamelist xml, this theory seems to be valid just for file extensions only: because on the other hand tags for cores in gamelist.xml that are not present in es_systems.cfg are defenitely ingored. for example when using core fbalpha in system mame.

@mYSt as always, works fine! thx :)

when i quit an emulator, ONLY these rating graphics are white blocks for a short time sometimes... after not more than one second when left emulator, they are shown properly again.

I guess quiting game is resource heavy for CPU so it may take time to construct some assets. Can't say much more about it sorry.

Maybe I'm kind of too perfectionist, but I want better disable whole rating bar, as I can't get rid of this issue :D
Is there a way to just hide it? tried already some code modifications but always crashed the theme/es...

@bkg2k
Just found out that my modification were overwritten at DragonBlaze update :D
Strange thing is, that even that .chd file extension is not existing anymore for system megadrive, I even can find those files in gamelist and run them...

Anyway, core fbalpha in system mame was gone too, had to add it again so that metadata of specified game showed up it again...

@lhari84 said in [PROBLEM] Custom es_system.cfg:

• added supported core fba_libretro for system mame

@Bkg2k Ok, thanks for your answer. Maybe you can implement a "core overwrite thing" too then ;)

@bkg2k Hi,
I did another modification some weeks ago in RC2 or RC3 two weeks ago:
As I didn't know it better this time, I removed write protection of original es_systems.cfg temporary to change as follows:

• added supported file types chd and x32 for system megadrive
• added supported core fba_libretro for system mame

Both of that modifications I did to save memory consumtion of a theme on Pi3 B+
(cummulating x32 and segacd all to system megadrive and cummulating all arcade games to system mame)

It seems even this is not recommended at all, it still works - also after updated to 6.0 DragonBlaze.

So my question is, can I leave it this way, or is there a risk this modification is destroyed by future recalbox updates?

If there is a risk, I'd like to migrate this mods to /recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/es_system.cfg, like suggested. But will this be even possible? Will ES read such modification there or ignore it?

Sorry if my request is unnecessary, but I don't understand 100% how this custom cfg should look like and my mod will even work at the suggested directory.

Thank you very much in advance for clarifying.

@myst I guess it‘s because i just copied backgrounds and sound. did not want to replace too much, as i didn‘t want system pictures, etc. change to pcenginecd. i‘ll try, thanks for info.

as these rating files are so small, i’m wondering even more about a weird problem i still have: when i quit an emulator, ONLY these rating graphics are white blocks for a short time sometimes... after not more than one second when left emulator, they are shown properly again. on the other hand no problem with other, big graphics like backgrounds. so can‘t be a memory issue all. maybe an es-thing?
it‘s the only disturbing issue left, everything else is fine now, both with theme 1.0 and rb 6.0. maybe @paradadf has an idea?

Guys, you are heroes! Great work, all functions i'm using tested so far, everything works fine! Thanks for implementing dpad function in mame2003 plus too :)

I recognized just one cosmetic issue that isn't a big thing at all:
At 2 of about 6 startups there was no intro video - just black screen and version number before ES was started up. maybe one of the intro videos is broken, can't tell...

I've updated from RC3 on Pi3 B+

Have now rebooted many times and couldn‘t reproduce it anymore. no idea what it was. saw every video, old ones, new ones and even latest konami. so please ignore my last post.

@mYSt
I have one more question about copying one system to another one:

in which file are graphics for game rating stored?

and is there a special graphic for pcenginecd (related to castlevania?)
currently after copying suggested files from manual from pcenginecd to pcengine, i just see hearts as rating graphics. and i guess they come from game bonk (pcengine) and not castlevania (pcenginecd)
Thanks
