RetroFE forums

Hi Peter, I say that knowing full well you're going to end up helping me out once again.

I know you don't do RetroArch but it supports more games and I've been working on expanding my roster... Working on Sega CD right now.

Here's my Launcher pad under launchers.windows (Had to go back to Windows to play Ps2 games.. )

executable = C:\Users\Sephiroth\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments = -L "C:\Users\Sephiroth\RetroArch\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll" "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"


And then my settings.conf file in Collections\Sega CD\

# 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, .bin
list.menuSort = yes

launcher = Sega CD
#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


I've changed the name, checked spelling, I've set up about 7 other systems I haven't had an issue until Sega CD.  I can however launch via CMD With C:\Users\Sephiroth\Downloads\RetroArch\retroarch.exe -L "C:\Users\Sephiroth\Downloads\RetroArch\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll" "R:\RetroFE\collections\Sega CD\roms\Adventures of Batman & Robin, The (USA).bin"

Of course, log files are attached as well. I've been battling this kind of off and on for a week and figured it was time for you to tell me how obvious the fix is.

I don't have much coding expertise and most of what I know about it I probably learned from setting up RetroFE. I really -really- like it over all of the other Front Ends because it's easily customizable and the devs are really into making it easy for the end user. That said, if there was some grunt work that you needed to be done I feel like I could do some random stuff with a little guidance - So here's my proposal:

Make a forum subject with "Bounties" For you that gives a pretty in detail description of ways we could help you with things you need help with. I know you have mentioned a few different times about things you don't have expertise with and would love help with, I think if we had a board right on the front page with ways to help, I think it would be received well. Right now I have no idea how to help - I've actually been trying to get a Raspberry Pi image together as mentioned on one of your other boards but I'm just having one hell of a time getting it to work.

I feel like this would help all of us understand the massive undertaking it is creating a front end this good, and would enable us all to easily help out with things we are good at. If this does exist, I haven't found it and maybe a redirect from here would help as well.

Now that I've got everything (mostly, when I transferred from Windows/Linux a lot of big files were lost in the shuffle and my backups didn't copy correctly either and now I'm at my download limit for the month, so... Gotta wait until next year ) up and running the way I like it (Big props to Pieter Hulshoff ) I have a second computer I'd like to set up ( And a Pie2 but that's another day) do I need to reinstall everything again or is there a way to copy all the files I already have to that one? Honestly, if it were windows I'd generalize it and create a Windows Image so I can have a backup when it blows up as well and then I'd be set but I'm new to Linux and I'm still wrapping my head around how it installs everything. I'm on Ubuntu 17.0x right now if that matters.

Because I tend to ramble...
TL;Dr:
Can you just copy and paste a fully set up system in another? Is there any caveats to doing so?
