RetroFE forums

aaaaaaaaahhhhhh bollocks...

hahahahah, i've just returned from Attract Mode to RetroFE and had to recreate my "dummy" cue files in the roots roms dir of PlayStation, 3DO etc, so i could get retrofe to see all the games that were in their own dirs... aaaahhhh 2 days of my life gone, haha the things we do for our hobby, that'll teach me for deleting them..

Two days? You really should learn how to write scripts sometime...

Found it; spaces were removed in the multiple control fix, and a search for LeftShift will not find a matching key. I'll get it fixed asap.

I'll look into it. We had a memory leak there, so I'll see if we can keep both benefits. 😀

I'll have a look. Perhaps something went wrong with the updates in that area.

Please investigate or send me the theme to check for myself. 😀

The problem is that your launcher immediately returns after starting the game. I have no idea why it does that or how to stop it from doing that. RetroFE works as expected in this case.

Going back to the batch script idea:
Perhaps you could try start /wait in front of the command? See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13257571/call-command-vs-start-with-wait-option

I have released RetroFE 0.7.20 on the download page.
My thanks go out to Tom, catelite, KMetalMind, and PinealServo for helping me out on this one.

I'm planning to update the documentation next to make sure all information to use the new features is available. The PDF will disappear in the future; I've set up a new wiki to recreate and update the documentation. The PDF was a temporary measure to keep the information in case the old website was closed down.
