Hi Mark,

It is mentioned in the download section that for the new release, you need to :

Quote
Note: Windows users will require a recent version of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio.

This should fix your issue normally - Have a look there and read the bottom part, you ll find the relevant link :

General Discussion & Help / Shortcut - RetroFE
« on: April 24, 2017, 08:43:29 PM »
Hi,

I am about to finalize my arcade machine and the whole system automation when booting it. By doing so I am encountering issues that some others may have already noticed but no information on the forum so I share if this thread can help.
Indeed, when moving or creating a new shortcut, the retrofe.exe application is running without any problem but the emulators are not launching correctly.
This may come from the fact that the "cmd.exe" does not start from the Retrofe repository.

Below the log showing the problem when I create and use the new shortcut :

[2017-04-24 20:09:20] [INFO] [RetroFE] Exiting

When checking the properties of the original shortcut placed in the main repository, some extra commands are added to run the app.

Quote
%COMSPEC% /c start "" core\retrofe.exe

and there is a option which my windows do no tunderstand when I test it in Run : %CD%
is that related to the command Change Directory ?

If you have the same issue or a clue, I d be happy to know.

Thanks very much !

Hi,

How do you get rid of the disclaimer when running a game, i read on other forum yhat you need to compile your own exe.
Is there a simpler solution by any chance ?

thanks !

General Discussion & Help / MAME & multiple controls per console
« on: April 14, 2017, 07:07:59 PM »
Hi,

I have an arcade machine with the classic control stick panel but I have also added 2 joypads for consoles.
Is it possible to choose which controller to assign with mame, I have them as player 3 and 4 but i d like them to be enable as 1 and 2 only on some specific consoles.

Thanks for your help

General Discussion & Help / MAME & GPU settings
« on: April 14, 2017, 07:05:14 PM »
Hi.

I was wondering what common settings you have used in the mame.ini file so that we can use the GPU instead of the CPU.

Thanks

Hey,

Yes indeed, i would like to have more information in regards :

- "The last step is to add the newly created collection to the main menu by editing RetroFE/collections/Main/menu.xml, and add a line:" I think this one is gone and we use only menu.txt instead
- 3D options for enabling the GPU (for retro FE)
- option in settings : # Clear the input on entering/exiting a collection collectionInputClear - what does that do exactly ?
- the retroFE shortcut in the root directory can no tbe moved otherwise it s not working, maybe a quick explanation would be necessary.
- in the controls config, i have never managed to use the hat thing, only this way :

Quote
up = joy2Axis1+,Up
down = joy2Axis1-,Down
left = joy2Axis0-,Left
right = joy2Axis0+,Right
pageUp = joy3Axis1+,A
pageDown = joy3Axis1-,B
letterUp = joy3Axis0+,N
letterDown = joy3Axis0-,M
nextPlaylist = joy3Button3,P
addPlaylist = joy2Button7,I
removePlaylist = joy3Button7,O
random = joy3Button6,R
select = joy3Button8,Space
back = joy3Button9,Escape
quit = Q

- when the favorite list is selected, is there an information on the screen telling you it is active or not ? That would be handy.
- if you want to add layouts and that you have selected the AEON NOX. spare layouts must be placed in Aeon Nox sub folders ?

Extra question :
- There was a direct link to the manual on the previous website, why don't you have one as well on the .nl version ?

Sorry if i am asking stupid question but this can maybe help others at my level :)

Where can I find the most updated manual as i believe the current one in the download section is quite obsolete for some sections.

Thanks !

Off Topic / Re: Which Rom renamer tool are you using ?
« on: April 13, 2017, 06:28:10 PM »
Hi,

I am using Don's HyperSpin Tools 4.2.6 and the XML database for MAME present in the release 0.8.0-RC1.
I have tried to split in 2 the xml file so that it reduces the number of entries to be checked with the CRC but no success.

I just want to match the rom names with the xml file and same after with the artworks

Thanks
