Reply To: Performance Issues with es-scraper

Making the xml lists is by far the most time-consuming part. You have to keep an eye on the scraper and catch ones that don’t register properly. Sometimes change I,II,III,IV to 1,2,3, or 4. Once you have the xml lists, the roms, the image files, etc. remaking the system only takes like 3-5 hours for me. I’m not into playing games since I don’t have the time but I like the challenge of putting this thing together. Sorry didn’t realize the rule about website names. Kingvoxel, I used the emulation station that came with the retropie image that was the latest back around march. I’m not sure if this would have been changed but there should be a text file that you can just add comment lines to take the input out. I recommend this if you don’t want the hassle of having to reconfigure your controls whenever you accidentally load that screen. I also figured out that the images for boxart take up different portions of the screen when run on different resolutions (720, 1080, etc.) and that there is a quick way of modifying the images to conform in terms of height vs width ratios which helps with the aesthetics. One problem I haven’t solved is that sometimes my buffalo gamepads will send a random signal to the pie which will essentially be a random d-pad signal, and when you have a long list that you are scrolling through this can be annoying. I was also able to combine an atrix 4g lapdock, some imported adapters and wires with this retropie to make a portable battery operated gaming system. PS does anyone know how to delete old posts? I couldnt find them listed in any of the profile stuff. Thanks.
