Would be great if you could put it in settings.conf to look in a folder to automatically add the games (menu format) in the menu.txt

This, avoids having to write every game you want to put in Aura.

Wait did I miss something? Is there an option for this in the main settings?

OK guys, I figured out where I went wrong. My mistake was pretty simple and easy to overlook. I added the game correctly to the collections folder but I forgot to add the. game name inside the Main folder. Added this and it works now fine.

I am trying to set this theme up but I am having problems with adding games. Especially Super Nintendo System game called Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World but no matter what I do (and I did correctly setup the parameters ) the game just won't appear in the menu. Is there a or some specific game naming convention the theme is following ?
That's never theme related; if it's there it will show up, with or without art. Perhaps the rom is in the wrong place or with the wrong extension? Perhaps the + causes issues on your OS?

The rom file is in correct position. In the collections/game name/ folder. I tried even to rename the rom file to something more simple like "super mario" and also renamed the corresponding folder name with additional changes to file information but nothing happened. I tried to add a Mame game "super pang" and that worked fine so I suppose in case of a SNES game I have set it up correctly can't track down the error. The log file shows nothing special. Would you be kind to test it out with that specific snes rom game Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World and see if you can make it run? Thanks in advance

Thank you, i'll try  ;D.

I'm testing Rocketlauncher. Retroarch seems not to work with some of my emulators.

I might be late to the party with this reply but in order to exit MAME and return to retroFE with your keyboard you have to assign the button in MAME. Here is how you do it:

Open a game in MAME, and then press TAB -> Input General -> User Interface then scroll down to "UI Cancel" and assing your gamepad/joystick button (defaults is ESC). Pressing the newly assigned button on your gamepad should exit MAME and return to retroFE.
Hope it helps.

Remove the .conf extension from the launcher name in the "Mega Man X3 (USA).conf" so it's just "bsnesbalanced".

How on earth did I overlook this? Thanks works fine now :)

Here is my problem
I'm running RetroArch with bsnes accuracy core for most of my games, but some of the games, especially Mega Man X3 is slow so I want to launch it with balanced core which is easier on processing power and allows me to play without stutter.
Now I created a directory "launchers" in "C:\arcade\RetroFE\collections\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\launchers" and added a "Mega Man X3 (USA).conf" containing the following:

That's not how the feature works: https://bitbucket.org/phulshof/retrofe/commits/763744181f09522dccbe9e7cb0284f2a757b858f
I should really free up some time to update the documentation sometime soon. :)

You should move that launcher configuration file to the launchers directory, and then create a Mega Man X3 (USA).conf with a single line containing the name of that new launcher.

I've created a bsnesbalanced.conf and I've put it in c:\Arcade\RetroFe\launchers with previously mentioned launcher code and then I've created a Mega Man X3 (USA).conf with a single line "bsnesbalanced.conf" . Game fails to launch

I feel stupid now, can't seem to make it work :D

Here is my problem
I'm running RetroArch with bsnes accuracy core for most of my games, but some of the games, especially Mega Man X3 is slow so I want to launch it with balanced core which is easier on processing power and allows me to play without stutter.
Here is my default launcher code that I use (this is bsnes accuracy):
Code: [Select]
executable = C:\arcade\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments =  -L  C:\arcade\RetroArch\cores\bsnes_accuracy_libretro.dll  "C:\arcade\roms\snes\%ITEM_NAME%.zip"
Now I created a directory "launchers" in "C:\arcade\RetroFE\collections\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\launchers" and added a "Mega Man X3 (USA).conf" containing the following:
Code: [Select]
executable = C:\arcade\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments =  -L  C:\arcade\RetroArch\cores\bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll  "C:\arcade\roms\snes\%ITEM_NAME%.zip"Basically all I did was telling retrofe to use bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll core in the launcher conf but the game won't launch.

Here is the relevant part of the log file

Why am I getting the ERROR failed to find launcher executable when the path is right and the same script works in a default launcher.conf ? Any help?

Nice tool looking forward for the full release. Will there be an option to change controller config?

Isn't there a spam protection during account registration? I do remember many forums have something like "click on the pictures containing a storefront" and that kind of measures. I'm sure it will benefit.

I've found Cid's MAME videos, but where can I find the main menu ones?

Sorry, I was away for the whole week and missed this post.
For the MAME platform video you can find some of here: http://emumovies.com/files/category/1658-mame/ (Look for Platform videos 4:3). The one I used on my preview video I've recorded Hyperspin media theme myself. If you want that video specific I can upload it somewhere on the web ;)

Ok, I did some quick tests. Overall, it's looking very good, but there's a few changes I would recommend:
- Center the video in the box; vertical videos are currently shown completely to the left.
- Fix the maximum sizes of the videos/artwork_front. They currently spill over if they don't have the expected aspect ratio.

I already tried to center the vertical video but I haven't managed to do so. Would you be willing to fix the two issues, I'm sure your coding/theming skills are way beyond mine. :)

Hello my friends,


Sorry for the  latter  reply, i was really busy,

and  thank  to Floyd for  your comment, in the past  my frontend  was Hyperspin, but  because  i met everytime a new bug i leave it completely.

I used Hyperspin just for a short span of time and switchedbto retroFe compliteley and I'm glad I did it. I still use retroFe only I've set RetroFe to launch my Steam games through Rocket Launcher.

I'm having the same problems running steam games through .bat file. Video keeps playing in my background. Tried a few suggestions and the closest one was the arguments = /K $rompath$ ... but after exiting the game the frontend just froze. Anyone provide some workaround?


EDIT:
I gave up on this method and just used Rocket Launcher as a default Steam games launcher for retrofe. The issue is fixed this way.
