    Hello again!
    Sorry for my very late answer, I was very busy the last days and had no chance to do anything on my Raspberry.

    I can say that your script was working like a charm! No problem at all.

    But I was not accepting that the ES-scraper will not run on my system so I decided to do a fresh install of the whole System. And now – it works! A Little bit strange and I don’t know where the problems were. But not all games were found, so I have to put in some game names and covers manually.

    [quote=5333]tasti: That’s strange, as you say ES-scraper only edits the gamelist.xml file and downloads cover art, it shouldn’t cause the pi to not boot. I once got into a similar problem though when manually editing a gamelist.xml file and forgetting an end tag </desc>. I had to log onto the pi with an ssh client on the ipad and go through the xml file from there are fix it, after a rebott it was okay again. But scraper shouldn’t cause that.

    As for neogeo, I have the neogeo.zip file in the roms/neogeo folder, still zipped. There was some trouble to get the correct neogeo.zip though, I eventually used one with the unibios files inside it. Some games still don’t load though and I haven’t solved that. This rom jungle and the mame complexity is the downside to this emulation setup, when I’ve spent too much time struggling to get a game to run properly I just put the head in the sand and delete the file and play something else instead. :P

    Yes, I confirm. The MAME games and system is a very complex jungle and it’s just try and error and because of this very annoying. All the other emulators are running well, but the mame games are the most important for me.
    I hope I will get the most interesting games running.

    I try again, and again…

    And the ES-scraper will be ignored now, I will try the script above ;-)

    [quote=5340] @toasti, ok here’s my script and instructions:

    You can be my beta tester ;)

    I’d be glad to! ;-) Thanks for your efforts and sharing your script!
    Will try it and let you know!

    I’m also interested in! A nice 8-bit music in background would be a cool thing!

    [quote=5325]toasti, I use the program posted here:

    http://lakeuk.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/raspberry-pi-retropie.html

    …in combination with ES-scraper.

    First I run scraper and then loads gamelist.xml and downloaded cover art to a new folder on the computer and run the .exe file from that program inside the same folder, it’ll then show the current state of the gamelist file with cover art and descriptipn if available. Then you can go through the list and cut and paste new art and description from a web database and google and click update and it’ll save the new info to the gamelist.xml file. When you’re done you just delete the old gamelist.xml on your pi and uploads the new gamelist.xml file in it’s place. Done. :)

    It still take some time to do it but I find it easier than doing it completely manually.

    A trick to get scraper to find more games is to temporarily rename the games and try scraping again. Especially neogeo is impossible to scrape without renaming the games.

    Like this…<br>
    mv androdun.zip “Andro Dunos.zip”

    Scrape with -p flag and choose neogeo will do the trick.

    But it needs the old filenames to run, so…<br>
    mv “Andro Dunos.zip” androdun.zip

    And finally go into the gamelist.xml and find the path and swap Andro Dunos.zip to androdun.zip

    I wouldn’t do this on a huge collection though. And if you spend the time to do it this way… Do backups on your retropie image often! I did daily backups when I did my gamelists, luckily so because I’ve had two incidents with corrupt SD card. It’s final now though, cover art and description on every game. :)
    [/quote]

    Thank you very much! ;-)
    I just downloaded the tool and I’m waiting for my sd card which I’m writing again due to hanging in the “RetroPie” loading screen after the neogeo emulator binary update.

    But I have one Problem regarding the scraper and getting gamelist.xml and cover arts: When I ran it I got my pi no more booting. So what is going wrong that the Emulation Station has such problems? I think there is nothing changed in the system, just cover art and descriptions downloaded and gamelist.xml created.

    EDIT: It’s booting until the RetroPie Project Splash Screen and then I have the possibility to go into the terminal with CTRL+ALT+F2, with CTRL+ALT+F1 I come back to the splash.
    When I am in the terminal I cannot do anything, just shutdown and reboot.
    When I want to enter another path I got only “No such file or Directory”.
    It says it’s read only? I don’t know what is going on.
    Among other things the ext 4 file System has a problem.

    So if I cannot “finish” the ES-scraper, I cannot use the program, right?
    As I understand it’s only usable to fill some gaps that ES-scraper could not fill out?

    And what is the trick with the neogeo Emulator?
    I unzpipped the bios files in the folder “neogeobios” which I had to create in the emulator folder of gngeo.
    Then I copied the neogeo.zip and unibios.zip in the roms folder.

    Anything else I have to do?

    [quote=5313] @toasti, I wrote my own script to generate the gamelist.xml file with proper names, but it’s not really in a state to share without some additional work. I’ll probably do this at some point when I have some more time.[/quote]

    But if you have the script in a state ready to share, please Keep me in mind ;)

    [quote=5317]Sigh. I still stumble upon games that have no sound after switching to mame4all_pi which I thought would erase all those problems. I’m using 0.37b5 roms. Why does these problems appear? Do I lack some files? Some roms complain about not finding neogeo.rom but most games start with ok on everything.[/quote]

    Since a few hours I try to get gngeo running – sadly without success.
    It freezes on the loading screen or I got only a black screen.
    Any ideas?

    I followed the instructions regarding bios files but nothing is working. :-(

    [quote=5227]Nice, glad it helped! For mame4all you need to set keys by launching a game and then hitting TAB on the keyboard. That will bring up the Mame menu and you can set keys from there. Whatever keys you set will be remembered going forward.

    Never been a fan of ES-scraper. It’s always seemed like way more trouble then it’s worth, especially if you have a bunch of unlicensed or import games. It ends up guessing the wrong game and setting incorrect titles and images as a result. It’s also painfully slow to run on a large ROM collection.
    [/quote]

    Thanks! I will give it a shot again on the weekend.

    ES-scrapper would be very, very nice but I also heard from performance issues with a lot of roms. I will try it again this weekend, maybe I get it working.
    If not, is there another possibility to get a proper gamelist instead of shortcuts from the ZIPs?


    @retrofredde
    :
    Thanks for the game suggestions!

    “Progear” was a game I was looking forward to play, but I think it’s to new that there is a 37b5 rom available.
    Do you know a game like Progear that is working on the RetroPie or is there possibly a rom available for RetroPie and mame4all-pi?

    Hey :-)
    Thanks for the help!
    I have changed it, but then my controller were no more working? I think I need a special config for mame4all?

    BUT, I have found 037b5 found for testing and all what I tried was working. ;-)

    So I think that should be ok now, but now I have another problem.
    Not the right one for this Thread, but maybe it’s solved quickly.

    I wanted to make my ES more beautiful and ran the ES-Scraper in the RetroPie setup, based on this manual: http://supernintendopi.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/an-a-to-z-beginners-guide-to-installing-retropie-on-a-raspberry-pi/

    After that, my Pie is hanging in the SlpashScreen, with CTRL+ALT+F2 and F1 I can switch between terminal and splash, but there’s only a blinking cursor. After that I rewrite my backed up image, I saw no other chance to get the running system back.

    I followed all the steps.

    What’s about the “Start Emulationstation on boot?” – why should I disable it? I tried it disabled and enabled, the same happened.

    I would like to use this nice feature, but how get it running?

    Researched a lot, but found nothing that helped me.

    Do you have any clue for me?

    Many, many thanks for your help!

    Good morning! ;-)

    I tried to find, but the websites are strange and I don’t want to download a Virus…

    But I used a program this morning to convert roms to another version and now Metal Slug 2 is running. Could be a Little bit faster, but this should be fixed when I will overclock it.

    The program only converted a few roms and for example mslug1 is not running.
    When I switch over to pifba in the es_systems.cfg Mslug1 and 2 are loading, but I only see a black Screen.

    I have found a few single 0375b roms, but they didn’t run. Maybe they are named as 0375b roms, but they aren’t? How can I find out which Version of rom it is?

    Is there a way to use Mame4all and PIFBA with the RetroPie and Emulation Station? What’s about the separate Setup, is there a tutorial or something else?

    Your help is much appreciated!

    Thanks! :-)

    I have tried it and the same error message with several roms:

    ERROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run.
    RetroArch [WARN]:: [GL] Stock GLSL shaders will be used.
    RetroArch [ERROR] :: Implementation does not Support save states. Cannot use rewind.

    All games that I tried, I got this error.

    Also some game files missing as it seems. But on the Windows PC and mame, it’s running, exact the same game.
    The neogeo.zip is also in the rom folder.

    EDIT: Now I tried some really old roms, with Emulation station – These are running. :-(
    But classics like Metal Slug are not.

    So what is the best way to get it running on RetroPie?
    There are a lot YouTube clips where people run all the cassics I also tried without success.

    Sure, I can do and let you know.
    At the Moment I cannot do it, because my girlfriend is watching TV ;-)

    I have only the SSH Access to test at the Moment and now I know my mistake when you ask in this way…
    I navigated to the mame4all-pi Directory and then entered only “mame <game Name>”.

    Now, if I enter the complete path, “/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame <game Name>” I get no error in the console.
    But as already said, I cannot test it directly, just entered it in the SSH Access and get no error. Tested again in the wrong way, and yes, get the error again.

    Sorry for that misunderstanding, I’m a Windows guy ;-)

    So I will test in aprox. 1 hour and will let you know what happen.
    Thanks for your help!

    I’m running the newest RetroPie Image.

    I googled a lot and is it possible that only MAME games v0.37b5 are working?

    Sure, the mame4all-pi folder is there, I created the “roms” folder within ;-)
    mame is also existing, without any file Extension.

    I executed chmod+x mame, but after this it’s also not finding mame.

    I tried just another game with the emulation station and again missing some files like neo geo Rom and it seems also a few game files. On my Mame on Windows the game is running fine.

    Sry, but only in the Forum, not on the Pi ;-)

    It was mame and command not found.

    I tried to start some games out of the emulation station and went back to the terminal to see the error Messages.

    one time i have an error regarding
    “68705.bin not found”

    And one time that Rom files are missing. Maybe the games are not ok.
    But I tried 10 or more and all games are not running.

    Thanks for your help!

    And what is required to do this?
    The es_systems.cfg changed like above and the game in roms folder in mam4all-pi or just Standard config after RetroPie has installed and the rom in standard rom folder?

    EDIT: Changed the es_systems.cfg, copied a rom in the self created roms folder in mame4all-pi and rebooted. When I now try to start it’s saying “mame: command not found”.

    What’s wrong?

    Hello guys,
    I’m also struggling with MAME roms, no one is working. After I start a game in Emulation Station, it’s kicking me back to the game list.

    I created a roms folder in the mame4all-pi folder and changed the es-Systems.cfg as trimmtrabb suggested – but nothing is working.

    I’m wondering what I have to change in my RetroPie config to get MAME running.

    Other emulators are working great! Thanks for sharing this great project with us!

    I’m so thankful for every help!!
