RetroFE 0.7.20

[PinealServo]

I came up with an alternate fix and opened a pull request.

[Pieter Hulshoff]

Accepted and released:
Here's RetroFE 0.7.21b1:
- Fixed support for "Shift Left" in controls.conf
- Fixed support for onMenuEnter="0" for 2nd level menu and similar theme features
Thanks PinealServo for your help.

Nice update. Is it sufficient if I only replace the exe file to update? Am I gonna encounter any gotchas?

[Pieter Hulshoff]

You can simply update the exe when moving from 0.7.19. The other changes are not vital.

I think it's the fix in Page.cpp in this commit: https://bitbucket.org/phulshof/retrofe/commits/fd11fcff506f7cd3dc7b79e027fcce753a6b50a5#chg-RetroFE/Source/Graphics/Page.cpp

You are totally right!  After commenting both lines, the theme is fixed 

Does RetroFE 0.7.21b1 solve your issue as well?

Yes!!

There's no maximum, but 14 paths?!? Can you post your settings.conf of that collection?

Sorry, i had some problems. But here's my settings. Each game it's in one folder.

[Pieter Hulshoff]

Just set your path to the top directory, and add
list.romHierarchy = true
to your settings.conf. That should also save you a lot of trouble when you start adding more games.

I don't see a change in what you had before...
Try:
list.path = F:\- Emuladores -\Nintendo Wii U\ª Emulador (cemu_1.7.0d)\Roms
list.includeMissingItems = false
list.extensions = rpx
list.menuSort = yes
list.romHierarchy = true

launcher = wiiu

My bad, now it works  . Sorry to bother. Thanks!

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?

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

[Agent47]

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