hi Guys,

@billipo: to play with metadata on the current EmulationStation 2.0 release could be tricky and lead to crash anytime you try manipulating the gamelist.xml file. A bug report has been filled by Aloshi himself (HERE). The good news is that Aloshi is implementing sqlite to get rid of this gamelist.xml file (instead it will be kind of small database, easier to manipulate and also use less resource).

@borlandoflorida, smatticus, Grayson: don’t forget to include the following parameter in your /boot/config.txt if you’re using a newer firmware on your Pi (starting from firmwares/kernels after the 24th of May).

hdmi_force_mode=1

As mentioned in a previous post at this location:
https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/display-raspi-doesnt-care-about-video-resolution/#7003

as Grayson said I strongly advise you to run the emulators at the VGA resolution. Yet it’s definitely possible to run ES at 720p (1080p doesn’t work for me) and have the resolution to switch to VGA by playing with the “runcommand.sh <number>” script.

@ranem123: n64 emulation on Pi is delicate but lot of progress is being made these days since the release of an even better optimized version of mupen. More here:

hope this helps.
