Hello,

in my controls.conf :

right = joy0Hat0Right, joy1Hat0Right, joy2Hat0Right, joy3Hat0Right, joy1Axis0+, joy0Axis0+, joy2Axis0+, joy3Axis0+, Right
left = joy0Hat0Left, joy1Hat0Left, joy2Hat0Left, joy3Hat0Left, joy1Axis0-, joy0Axis0-, joy2Axis0-, joy3Axis0-, Left
down = joy0Hat0Down, joy1Hat0Down, joy2Hat0Down, joy3Hat0Down, joy1Axis1+, joy0Axis1+, Down
up = joy0Hat0Up, joy1Hat0Up, joy2Hat0Up, joy3Hat0Up, joy1Axis1-, joy0Axis1-, Up
pageDown = joy1Button3, joy0Button3, joy2Button3, joy3Button3
pageUp = joy1Button2, joy0Button2, joy2Button2, joy3Button2
letterUp = joy1Button5, joy0Button5, joy2Button5, joy3Button5
letterDown = joy1Button4, joy0Button4, joy2Button4, joy3Button4
#nextPlaylist =
addPlaylist = f
removePlaylist = r
#random = joy1Button5, joy0Button5, joy2Button5, joy3Button5, R
select = joy1Button0, joy0Button0, joy2Button0, joy3Button0, Return
back = joy1Button1, joy0Button1, joy2Button1, joy3Button1, Escape
quit = Q

everything works like a charm except i must exit with ctrl+alt+sup ....

i can't quit using the "q" letter.

thank you for your help.

  Hi there!

It has been several years since I have touched my retrofe config.
In the meantime, my pc has been reinstalled once.
Since then, my sub collections no longer launch games .. any idea?

My retrofe/collection/main.txt :

MAME_0220
Ringedge
NEO_GEO
PopCap
Fighting
MAME_beatthemall
Shmups
Sammy Atomiswave
Taito type X
Nesica
Sega Genesis
Nintendo Entertainment System

Example: the sub NEO_GEO won't launch the games.

inside collection/NEO_GEO/settings.conf :
# Uncomment and edit the following line to use a different ROM path.
#list.path = %BASE_ITEM_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\roms
list.includeMissingItems = false
list.extensions = zip
list.menuSort = yes

launcher = MAME

#metadata.type = MAME


#media.screenshot      = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\screenshot
#media.screentitle     = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\screentitle
#media.artwork_back    = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\artwork_back
#media.artwork_front   = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\artwork_front
#media.logo            = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\logo
#media.medium_back     = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\medium_back
#media.medium_front    = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\medium_front
#media.screenshot      = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\screenshot
#media.screentitle     = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\screentitle
#media.video           = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\video
#media.system_artwork  = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\system_artwork
But in my collection/MAME_0220/settings.conf :

Games are well listed in my /collections/NEO_GEO/MAME.sub and they show up correctly in the frontend.
When i click on the game, they won't launch.

games only start from the MAME_0220 collection list.

I also tried to change launcher =MAME with launcher = %ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME% .... in the NEO_GEO collections/settings.conf file.

   what 's happening ?  it worked like that before......

i attached the log file where i can see the following message :
(
[2021-09-26 23:56:01] [ERROR] [Launcher] Failed to find launcher executable (launcher: MAME executable: )
but i don't understand ....

within the /retrofe/launcher/MAME_0220 :
executable = F:\Emulators\MAME_0220\arcade64.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_NAME%"

thank you.   

hi!

@ Ryuuji,  nice theme!   

i would like to know how could i have a a complete vertical wheel instead of a rounded wheel.

do i have to put "0" value in all 'angle attribute in the layout.xml file?

And how could i don't  display the wheel in the middle bottom of the screen?  the one of the main wheel is enough for me.


thx

  hello dlol.
I wish you good luck for restarting from zero.
I experiment the same thing in 2016.
And i lost everything.i was under hyperspin.then when i decide to start a new project i start with retrofe this time.
I have no regret.

  : hi!

I just come to give you a feedback on what i have done.
I used the method to launch games directly like i launch my pc games.

The real thing that change is that i have created shortcuts of my games and added the param --profile="nameOftheProfileOftheGame.xml" at the end of the target line  (go to property of the shortcut).

This is working very good!
One of the good thing too, is that you can put shortcut from different version of the Loader in your game directory.
This way, if some games are working better in a particular version of the Loader, it will be transparent to you.

 

We can close this topic now.
If you want more details, ask me and i will add more detail.
For now, i can't because i am at work.
