![]() ![]() Let it run overnight.Īs nice as it is to look at and use, Emulation Station seems to have been abandoned by its author with no updates in over a year. I agree, this slow scraping thing sucks because it’s probably one of the first things you’ll do when you set up your RetroPie install, and during this whole time you can’t play anything. When I left that enabled I ended up with a bunch of low-res blurry upscales. The only setting I’d really change from the defaults is to disable “Thumbnails Only”. A recent scrape of ~120 Genesis roms took about three fucking hours, conservatively. Even though there is no visual feedback, the current system’s gamelist.xml is being generated. ![]() Then, at the end of your queue, everything will freeze…or will appear to. The scraper will first download all your images in one big queue, and you can watch as things happen in the terminal. Quit from ES before scraping (If you’re logged in remotely: “ killall emulationstation“) then get busy: Note that you can’t use the Selph scraper if Emulation Station is open, or its work will be overwritten. It’s a better idea to use the included “Steven Selph” scraper in the Retropie textual menus, as it uses rom hashes to provide much more accurate results. ES has a built-in-scraper, but that uses your roms’ filenames to identify them. Feel free to steal these configs:Įmulation Station needs two things to look its best: boxart for each game, and a ‘gamelist.xml’ full of metadata for each system. I’ve got two controllers (from the excellent 8Bitdo) and I had to do this for both of them. Then control-C outta there, and put the proper ones in your cfg file. Tap every button and write down their values. To find out the correct button numbers, run Most or all of these numbers are probably wrong in this cfg if you’re having trouble. Every button on the controller has a number. Just pairing with Bluetooth isn’t enough.)Įvery action in the cfg is assigned to a button. (Remember, these CFGs aren’t created until you first set them up within Emulation Station. Open up /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypadsįind the name of the joypad you want to fix, and edit its. What that means is that some (or none) of the buttons will work within emulators. The Emulation Station setup process will assign buttons that don’t even exist on the controllers to their profiles within Retroarch emulators. Some controllers get set up fine, and some are all kinds of wrong. This does two things – it lets you control Emulation Station with this controller, and also sets up a default config for the Retroarch emulators (within /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/), so your controller should work automatically in all of them.Įxcept this second part? It often screws it up pretty badly. Now configure its buttons within Emulation Station. Pair and connect your controller with Bluetooth from the Bluetooth menu. If your controller is physically connected or is Bluetooth paired (and wirelessly connected) the issue is improperly mapped joypad buttons. ![]()
