General Discussion & Help / Latest version of RetroFE does not read my XML files
« on: May 11, 2021, 06:31:09 AM »
So I "upgraded" to the latest Windows release (10.21) on my test laptop and am having a host of problems.
First, my collection names don't show up in the top-left corner, only the manufacturer (been happening for several versions now)
Second, RetroFE crashes every other time I try to launch it.
Third, the strangest of them all, it retains a "default" memory of games names and won't read any of my hyperlist XML files. I spent an hour trying to figure out if my XML had any mistakes, only to find out that all of my custom XMLs are being ignored. Is there a way to force refresh all of the hyperlist data?

General Discussion & Help / Launching Taito Type X Games From RetroFE?
« on: August 23, 2020, 03:27:58 AM »
I have used a launcher called "cmd" that opens a command prompt in windows when I want RetroFE to launch a game from a .bat file. For many years this has worked fine, but now that I'm using Type X loader and integrating it into this front end, it launches the game, but then goes back to RetroFE while the game is playing. I have tried adding "pause" to my .bat file, which works until I quit the game. There is no "Press any key to continue" prompt as expected, just a black screen where nothing happens, no matter what I press. Until of course I CTRL+ALT+DEL and kill RetroFE. So my two options are having RetroFE annoyingly resume in the background, or forcing close after quitting the game.

I have not yet tried NESicaXLive but I'm thinking it will be the same result.
Any one out there have any luck getting this to work properly?

I figured it out. layout.xml must remove the "floor" section for each collection. Now I am trying to figure out how to remove the "reflection" from the box art...

General Discussion & Help / Removing the "blue bar"

Where exactly do I go to strip the blue bar from the bottom of the screen in Aeon Nox?

When you are viewing the games in a collection, there is this bar along with a mirror-like reflection of the box art. How can I make that vanish?

Is there a step by step out there for this? I would like this to be my cross-platform setup as I put years into perfecting my Windows collection with this.

I run the script above in the OP, but for the life of me I can't remember where I got it from. I think it was mentioned in the download link once upon a time. Some errors come up during the install but they go by so quickly that I cannot see them all. Running from terminal emulator as SU.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have reinstalled Stretch a couple of times and still can't get this to compile. Is there any chance this will be revisited? I tried EmulationStation and it is god awful compared to RetroFE.

Peter,

Will there be any builds for Raspbian Buster or Raspberry Pi in general in the future?

Is there an archive I can extract to my installed folder that would replace whatever is missing?

Most glaringly a lack of an executable but it would appear that the core folder is empty as well.

I am using a Pi 3B+ with Raspbian Stretch using the line:
Code: [Select]
bash <(curl -s https://bitbucket.org/phulshof/retrofe/raw/default/Scripts/Raspi2/install.sh)Install is NOT working. It makes a RetroFE folder in root but not all is there. I have tried with and without SU access. Can anyone advise?
