    Live Streams?

    I think his last post was the 22nd so with Brads exit and no streams Im guessing there are some issues keeping him away.

    Maybe let him take a breath

    Retroarch or Emulators

    in Noobs

    Posted

    Ok i think I know what that is.

    In Input settings there is a menu select gampad combo. Turn that off as by default its Start+Select.

    Now for your setup in the hotkeys menu i said about earlier assign your "enable hotkey" to start and "quit" key to select

    That will give you the combo for exit (hit start 1st hold then select)...as a side effect any other hotkeys you have setup like fastforward or save state will require you to hit Start before the other key

    Just got to make sure it doesnt clash with other setups. 

    Make some backups or a test setup while you get this stuff sorted out....controlling multiple systems is fairly hard to wrap ones head around

    Did you use SCP (ScarletCrushProductions) for the PS3 to Xbox driver? Afaik thats the one to use. Used it myself a couple of years back and still works now. Also works with bluetooth so long as you have a dedicated dongle.

    Not sure on your exit method for games in RetroArch but you can setup a new Hotkey in RA settings-》input-》 input hotkey binds-》

    Set it to an availiable key thats not escape and then it should give you a clean exit from retroarch.

    Theres a few other options for that im a bit hazey on in PC use but there are ways to get you setup just need to keep digging :)

    NES Black Box Games Bezels and Configs for Retroarch

    in Platform Media

    Posted

    For those that want to batch the creation of .cfg files for things like this let me know....I have a guide over at Hyperspin I just need to put it somewhere more neatural if people are interested.

     

    @MetalVinnie

    I just set these up and you bring a very cool original theme for bezels afaik...not seen many specific packs like this before.

    If its ok with you I would like to add them to the "official" libretro repo for this stuff (although they like me to PNGCrush them 1st)

    I linked it in the download section comments.

     

    This is the release format I will go with. [creator-name][specifics][bezel-name]

    Some cores do different things. Like the Nestopia core is lauded as being perfect emulation now, but it does require a more beefier CPU. I did make a custom list, that I've been trying to get Jason to edit the defaults to. I also need to update it, but it's fairly complete.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k1aSGkhzHR4L7VDD5CPy-PVMFKiaGOiQhgZO56hUNaE/edit#gid=0

    The MAME cores are only labeled if you dig for that info. The "MAME" core, with no year, is usually the most up to date.

    Apologies for butting into this thread but it was a good read. OP's questions have been answered afaik.

    i love this little nugget of info. Is there a thread for it anywhere?

    i see Amiga is not listed for an emulator.

    would that be winuae?

    What is rocket launcher? Should I be using it?

    in Noobs

    Posted

    The other great feature not mentioned in RocketLauncher is that it supports most Frontends, so if you want to swap in the future (when Launchbox gets knocked off top spot ?) it will probably be easier. Then again by that time things will probably have changed!!

    For sure it's another layer for the OP to learn but it can handle all your emulators forever (so long as modulas get love)

    You will always want to setup your emulators so for that reason I will use RL when setting up my PC. Then when it's done I can do whatever I want with a frontend

    Missing Hyperspin Discussion

    Posted

    FYI keep a fairly close eye on the Hyperspin activity feed and not seen any posts in those threads for sometime and I def dont remember anything worse coming up than past post. Not sure when/if they were removed. 

    How large is everyone's LaunchBox directory?

    in Noobs

    Posted

    Im wondering the same thing right now....need to start getting a proper setup going. All my stuff is all over the place. Im wondering how big will the media state of things be in a big setup.

     

    I might try and figure out what size the media would be per game. Then add in the basic per platform size of a, theme etc

    Would be awesome to have a summary for some of the "main" platforms. i.e. I use a shield too, so would be great to have a guide for that. i.e. which RA cores to install, and an androidcom.xml to match.
    I'm not being lazy - I would love to work this all out myself, just limited on time atm - sorry!

    When i get round to playing with this and launchbox properly i will chip in on what works for shield and see if i can find any additions to the xml.
