    Patreon Money to Content Creators

    I made a similar post to the OP's, over at another community because of the same reasons. What some people create is just outstanding and in real life i would do something to show appreciation but thats hard to do online.

    Anyway I think all the technicalities have been covered and I would not be able to understand someone being angered by Brads answers, the transparency of this community is one of the biggest assets imo.

    Also I never considered that example SNAK3ATER gave could happen, not in my nature I suppose...I would have suggested something similar as i have seen that "beer me" function and loved that...some people deserve a beer. I think it would probably be alright here but theres always the risk of it going south.

    The issue is far to complicated for me but it does leave the question of how do we show our appreciation...

     

    Idk maybe a raffle or poll....community pitch in then someone wins a voucher or something...get yourself a new hardrive for all those videos and artwork  :)

    Obviously everything would be open to abuse but would be nice to see something come of this topic.

    I will always champion media creators from any community....I cant make that stuff so without them our setups would look like MAME (no offence mame)

    Which emulator are you using for MAME

    Got it up and running with RetroArch. My issue now is that I use RocketLauncher and the RetroArch module in RocketLauncher does not support the system name of "Arcade" so it will not launch any games.

    Is there a setting you know if in RL to shut that off?

    If I rename Arcade to MAME in LaunchBox will it screw anything up? Playlists or anything else get messed up? I know some people had issues in the past with Playlists when their platform name was MAME.

    Thank you!

     Recently setup RocketLauncher and for I wanted a system name as Electronic Handheld Games instead of Game & Watch. It was a very easy fix with RocketLauncher.

    PM me if you can't do it as I'm new to RL so don't want to post the wrong info.

    basically copy the retroarch module, edit the name & maybe 3 words in the module. Then add it as a new emulator.

    FYI, @lordmonkus Libretro said they were going to be more regular on MAME core updates now since Patreon and so far they have been keeping up after a stint between .174 and .180 something iirc......see how long they can keep it going

    Edit:- @wolfhound89 do what lordmunkus said about starting with a simple emulator

    Then if you want to step up a gear give rocketlaucher a shot before you get fully setup as you need to follow their format. This is very outaded but gives you an idea of RL's power 

    I always read these conversations and think its just people do or dont "get" a program or read the right setup guide for their use case.

    RetroArch is hard....imo but also the best multi emulator package next to mame...not tried mednafen but alot of people rate that higher than retroarch.

    Worst thing about retroarch is the controls setup. Maybe because it tries to do it for you but mainly because of the infinate combinations of operating system quirks and sheer number of controllers people use.

    Im trying to work on their documentation but nobody really reads that stuff "aparently" and even less people take the time to improve it. To be fair if i have an emukator problem i look at the emulators documentation 1st...then move onto hunting down forum posts which are usually buried.

    I dont get why people dont read or write documentation. Must be a man thing

    Someone will jump on it before me  I'm sure......I'm a way off being able to do something. I will check in when the time is right. Be a nice prof of concept for myself before taking on the world outside my hobby

    To my understanding, Touchmote is converting the IR sensor readings of the Wiimote, to either DirectInput (Mouse) or XInput (Right or Left Stick).

    Based on that, it depends on each emulator how it can handle XInput or DirectInput,

    Theoretically, every emulator that can handle these, should work (theoretically :))

     

    Sorry just for clarity the Shield TV is my emulation box and that is Android OS... still thinking that will be a big problem

    Love notpad++... the regular exspression thibg came in real handy for a couple of things i forget now

    Could i add a bunch of platforms with Notepad++ do you think? Although writing this i decided to do 1 at a time. As made the mistake of biting off or than i can chew and missing things before

    That will do you guys well.....

    i want to see if i have skills to run an online shop but not got it organised yet. Mrs has always wantted a shop (prolly not online though :( )

    Plan was to get a 100 t-shirts for this scene and maybe some usb sticks and see if i could break even. Then move onto a reallife online shop not linked to this scene

    @Kirsten Marie could let me know what unbroken- would need from me, based on a one off (small to no profit) deal. To sell a few branded t-shirts

    Just a bit of a fun (practical time consumer) development project

    Let me know....if you get a chance

    Not that this is necessarily the case! My media is stored on a local server that both my Windows system (Launchbox) can access and also my Android device (nVidia Shield). I don't need to move anything to use content on all my devices.

    Good thing for clarity is not to say "unplug  hard drive. " as a NAS and hdd are in essence the same thing.

    just gotta use the right term

    Spelling, album button

    Hi LB team

    Im a little focused on blogging right now as lack of pc time. 

    Is there a way to categorise my blog. I see the albums button but not sure what it does? (Edit:its for image albums, please disregard)

    Fyi managing from a mobile not pc.

    My idea is to group my blog posts without creating seperate blogs.

    So if people dont want to read about my life they dont, if they care for my website project or my emulation views they can skip it.

    Or the reverse so they can read a topic or not.

     

    Just going to leave this here...

    Oh cool, I got them to setup a new repo just for bezels under the Libretro project. (Which I need to work some more on soon)

    didnt realise they were added to the overlays repo for download directly. Thought they were against it because of keeping the overlays package storage size down for touch screen users.

    i will have a look
