No Roms load inside a collection.
« on: November 25, 2019, 08:59:29 PM »
Several Systems are not loading anything but some are loading everything properly.
I have checked the settings, the launcher,config file,info file,and even changed all the artwork.
I can't figure it out. I've added and removed the extensions and done just about everything.
I need help!!!!
I also need help configuring a Ps4 controller too.

Can you upload the files here in stead? I'm getting an error message when I try to open the Google documents pages.

Where are your Coleco roms, and what extensions do they have?

Your log file doesn't show you entering the Coleco collection, so I cannot check what actually happens there, but according to the following line in log.txt
[2019-11-25 18:41:44] [INFO] [Configuration] Dump: "collections.ColecoVision.list.extensions" = "7z,col"
RetroFE should look for .7z and .col files, so that part is fine.

I do notice the following line in your log.txt file though:
[2019-11-25 18:41:44] [INFO] [Configuration] Dump: "baseItemPath" = "z:\retrofe\Roms\"

For SNES, you override that path in your settings.conf:
[2019-11-25 18:41:44] [INFO] [Configuration] Dump: "collections.Super Nintendo Entertainment System.list.path" = "ROMs\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\roms\"

You don't do that for the other collections. Might it be that based on the current settings it's looking for roms on your Z drive?

New log with me entering colecovision.

Looks like I was right:
[2019-11-29 07:14:07] [INFO] [CollectionInfoBuilder] Scanning directory "z:\retrofe\Roms\\ColecoVision"

Your problem is in your global settings.conf file. Just delete or comment out the following line:
baseItemPath" = "z:\retrofe\Roms\"
I'm not sure how that got in there; it's not in the official release.

But like I said some collections are loading properly others are not.
also it's not an official release I downloaded one with all the artwork and collections pre setup.

No, you altered the line in stead of commenting it out like I asked you to. Just put a # in front of it.

This may be a dumb question.  Did you test unzipping the games instead of leaving them .7z?  Maybe it does like 7z.  Just an idea.  Good luck.
