@voljega Thank you i will test the gamelist and see if i can find the other. Save folder sounds like it is mostly

Hello everyone. My question is about the file where it saves the selection of the emulator for each arcade game, let's say MK3 with mame2003 . I am looking for that specific file or cfg. And also the one that stores the inputs config through mame with tab on the keyboard, let's say MK3 again and when you remap the buttons it automatically saves but i cannot find the file. Thanks in advance

@subs said in Snes joypad with Gamecon-controllers question:

I read the doc the same way as you : data is the only independant pin

Thank you subs, i am pretty confident now,that this should be the way to go. Got player 1 working and will try the 2nd now!

Got it! it was that way, only data is independent pin

Hello everyone, hope you are doing fine and sorry if this is not the correct section to ask. I'm in the middle of a snes pi project and the joypads come next. I have found this guide and have a question to anyone that did this https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Gamecon-controllers-(EN)

The pinout for snes is:

So my question is, according to the guide, GPIOXX the data pin, which i will go with GPIO04 for player 1 and GPIO07 for player 2, the rest of them should go soldered together to both ports of player 1 and 2? that's 5v, ground (these 2 ones 100% sure) and latch, clock ? I have a RPi 3 model B. Thanks in advance for your time.

@screech Yes i deleted both, gamelist.xml in megadrive roms folder and also the complete download_image directory. I'm scraping rigth now will tell you soon how it goes. Thanks.
Edit: So, after 90 mins, the scraper only downloaded 3 images, which are the latest roms i added to the list. It created the xmls but only 3 images downloaded.
Edit2: ok so i think i found the issue, the scraper seems to not like .zip roms, at least for megadrive and snes. I use them compressed because i use a small sd 16gb card, and when it tries to scrap them zipped it doesn't work, but if i uncompress some rom the program works ok
Edit3: Ok so, there was a problem with my roms, half of them are not any of the correct CRCs that are listed in screenscraper.fr, which is really odd and also makes me redownload but found the issue. By the way, the software works a lot faster if you do everything in your pc HDD and then transfer the files manually to the Raspberry Pi. Screenscraper.fr takes a lot of time to load for me (i'm from Argentina) so maybe that is why also the app is slow. It is taking time but looking great so far! I'm really happy thanks again

Hello! i think i have already done both things. And still it does not download them. Both are 700+ roms snes and megadrive.

Hi screech, your tool is amazing brother, keep it up the good work!
Just some constructive criticism:
The tool takes a lot of time , at least when i scrap 700 roms or so.
Also i couldn't scrap roms that were already scraped from the oficial recalbox scraper, i don't know why,but it just skips them and does not download anything at all. If you fix this then this could be a heaven app
