Reply To: Testers for new image with emulator selection

[herbfargus]

First impressions- I really like this idea much better than having separate rom folders for each emulator.

from my preliminary testing on my raspberry pi B+- this is the list of emulators I tested.:

MEGADRIVE
DGEN: functions
LR_Genesis_plus_gx: functions
LR_Picodrive: functions

C64
VICE: functions

GBA
gpsp: functions

GameGear:
Osmose: functions
lr_Genesis-plus-gx functions

FBA
pifba: functions
lr_fba: functions

SNES:
pisnes: functions
snes9x: functions
lr_pocketsnes: BROKEN!
threw an error:

dylib_load dylib_load() failed: opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pocketsnes/libpocketsnes.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory".
load_symbols:: failed to open dynamic library; "opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pocketsnes/lrpocketsnes.so 
rarch_main_init :: fatal error received in: "load_dynamic()"

NES:
lr-fceu-next: functions

GB:
lr-gambatte: functions

GBC:
lr-gambatte: functions

Positives:
-I really liked that all of the libretro core emulators were preceded by “lr” to indicate their integration with the retroarch configs
-All but one emulator I tested worked (granted some were laggy due to my B+ lack of processing power)

Some Suggestions/Issues:

-As noted above, pocketsnes threw an error and didn’t run.
-My dpad wasn’t working on the libretro core emulators (but it works in emulationstation and non libretro emulators)
-perhaps this is the wrong place to suggest this, but is it possible to add another option along with the emulators to link directly into their controller configurations? (or at the very least have one option for each of the libretro core emulators to run something like retroarch-joyconfig specific to that emulator?)
-could the megadrive rom folder be possibly renamed to megadrive/genesis as many newcomers from the United States get confused on where to place their genesis games
