Romfrosk Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Hi all. It's not been a lot of updates the past 24 hours. I've mainly been working on testing out my new Mobo, RAM, CPU in order to confirm that it runs as espected. I have sadly run into issues with it, and will continue this over the weekends. I have started to use @Dane way of noting down if i have issues with a platform or not. Only gotten to F , but hopefully i'll get more done soon. Also i have imported a fresh ScummVM 2.0 gameset, Playstation 2, Microsoft Xbox +++ I've downloaded a massive flashgame library which i'm not sure if i want to add, as it has roughly 300-350k games in it. I will rename and sort it a bit better, and then see if i'll even try to import it. i Finally hit 100k imported games woopdidoo. I will start cleaning out systems "not worth it" eventually, so that i get a playable list. First post will be updates with latest numbers now.

You have even more than I so it will definitely take you a while, but it will be worth it in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfrosk Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Finally been through all systems and noted down if i have any issues starting. I found some systems wrongly marked as OK as well. Hopefully i'll get more systems on the OK list for emulators at least New spreadsheet will be uploaded shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfrosk Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Todays been mostly getting more systems to work, but also a proper cleanup of the systemlist. I've removed a few systems with no obvious emulator. And some obscure none english ones. I still have some of them included, and i've not decided what to do with them yet. I also finally got around to locate some of my missing systems I've updated the main post with new data Edited May 21, 2018 by Romfrosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have quite a few systems that say "OK" where I have not got the same ones up and running yet. I am hoping your list will spur me on to get some more of mine working, as is always a continual process. Lately I have just been downloading more games directly onto an external hard drive whilst awaiting for my new additional 8TB internal hard drive to arrive in the post as I've no more room on my existing internal 4TB hard drive. I have questions I would like to ask comparing our lists but I will wait for now, here is my current one if you would like to compare: My Systems.xlsx You are definitely progressing nicely. EDIT: Have you messed around with overlays and shaders yet either on RetroArch or RocketLauncher? If not, don't! I did some through RetroArch and for me it REALLY enhances the whole experience tenfold. So as a result, soon I will be initiating the time-consuming task of adding another layer to my whole setup of RocketLauncher for this purpose. I know some people see RocketLauncher as an unnecessary middleman but for this purpose it is necessary as RetroArch only supports probably 20% of my systems.

Romfrosk Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 I will probably end up playing with that as well after I have most of my systems running. I'm aiming to get most work in retroarch. Then name, and then standalone if the two above is not possible or good. I mostly got rid of systems I cannot find any emulators for. And some Japanese, Hungarian and so on systems. I bet I'll add some more soon anyway. ? Currently checking my entire collection for new images. I seem to find new everyone I do this. Even though my settings have been the same for many weeks. P. S: keep Wikipedia unchecked. It will triple the time it takes to get artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the list. Hopefully this will make my setup even more complete. I also added some of the new systems in your list. I've decided to merge NEC PC-9801 and NEC PC9821 into one, Same with 8801 and 88VA and Sharp X1 Turbo and Sharp X1 I do think that in the end, i'll hope to have 250-300 fully working systems.

Romfrosk Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 I were stupid enough to look at Danes list, and boom, 11 new systems in my list Got most downloaded and added. but still some to go Also many tips on emulators to try out for my none working ones too thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfrosk Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Haven't been able to do so much work today. Mostly downloading and placing some missing systems Also did the nightly "scan for artwork" as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i constantly get errors though. between 4 and 5000 errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you want more! On 5/22/2018 at 3:32 PM, Romfrosk said: I mostly got rid of systems I cannot find any emulators for. And some Japanese, Hungarian and so on systems. I think I only have a couple of system under this category, or at least ones that there are not any good emulation for like the Loopy and Jaguar-CD. If I have system that I simply cannot get running well I reckon I will discard them also. 5 hours ago, Romfrosk said: Haven't been able to do so much work today. Mostly downloading and placing some missing systems That is interesting that you say every time you scan for artwork it comes up with more. I have not done that once but will towards the end, I am sure it will take a long time for it to check 60k+ games. 5 hours ago, Romfrosk said: But i constantly get errors though. between 4 and 5000 errors Yeah for whatever reason when I add a new system it often return errors. I've decided to merge NEC PC-9801 and NEC PC9821 into one, Same with 8801 and 88VA and Sharp X1 Turbo and Sharp X1 I do think that in the end, i'll hope to have 250-300 fully working systems. I have also split up many systems but with those systems if the libraries are tiny I would do the same thing.

Romfrosk Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 A small update. Been a busy weekend, with too much good weather to be playing too much with this. Still gotten quite a few systems to run properly now Also added the last ExoDOS Simulation games. and a few new systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfrosk Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi all There has been no progress the past week. Haven't had much time to play around, and i've decided to move the entire collection to a NAS drive for now. This may have been a bad move, as things are very sluggish. I may move them back when i get my new 1TB SSD, but i'll update you. I will now start replacing Some of my systems ROMs with the most recent No-Intro set. To get a cleaner list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I found that too. However, if you have the ROMs on the NAS and the rest local then that seems to run fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. that was the setup i had as well. But images alone has now grown to crazy sizes, so i'll need a faster and larger disk in order to store it locally :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I have a 1TB SSD in my laptop also though the Windows partition is only around 550GB. Looking forward to multiple TB SSD prices coming down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofrogg Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Romfrosk could you advise me re this flash library as well please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatuswalrus Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Where are you @Romfrosk? Have you shuffled off this mortal coil to play tetherball with JonBenét Ramsey in the big blue sky? Or have you moved your family to the Appalachian Mountains to follow your dreams of opening a strip-club for Norwegian sailors disguised as a coy-farm to avoid financial discrepancies with Uncle Sam?
