Well basically it should work out-of-the box. If you change this gamelistFolder="/storage/.config/emulationstation/gamelists/" your gamelists will be stored at the config dir instead of the rom dirs but that's afaik just a matter of personal preference.

Yeah i know but i scraped before in ES.

If scraping in ES the gamelis.xml will be in that location.

Because all my gamelist already where there and scrape my n64 games later i decide to put my gameslist.xml in that location. Otherwise i had to redo my wii gamelist manually again cause screenscraper has not many videosnaps for wii.

If i make a backup in LE settings will all my emulator settings and all my roms/games be backup too?

share your config?

Sure..

In putty/terminal:

and after that for creating your gamelist.xml

Yes since steven selph's scraper uses a deprecated API I had to find an alternative. Check out this site usecase.md to get a basic understanding how it works it's not polished but I was able to scrape games & videos.

It did not find all games by using screenscraper though UXS was able to scrape them... while both used screenscraper but you can use thegamesdb or other provider too to get a fully scraped rom set. You should have a look at the docs first skyscraper/docs at master · muldjord/skyscraper · GitHub and for example adjust lang & region according to your needs. Skyscraper is really powerful and lets you adjust everything to your needs so read the documentation. But my config should provide a working base, while you should register SCREENSCRAPER - Base de données et téléchargement médias pour front-end gaming multi-systèmes and enter your username & password in the config file.

But beside that the scraper in ES is functional again and works with screescraper and gamesdb too while it lacks the video feature. So feel free to play around and see what suits your needs.

It's not a bug it's a feature. Or at least you've not enabled it. Dolphin stutters because mesa (=OpenGL/Vulkan driver) rebuilds the shader cache after each mesa update. This also happens if Dolphin got updates that touch the rendering API. Shaders are the small programs your GPU runs to render effects and stuff. If the way they were handles changed they have to be updated so recompiled. To avoid recompilation of an existing shader mesa introduced a shader cache which speeds things up. Read this to learn more about it Dolphin Emulator - Ubershaders: A Ridiculous Solution to an Impossible Problem

If you can deal with some pre generation time to avoid stuttering enable this & set the backend to Vulkan if possible. Then Dolphin compiles the shaders before the games starts if needed. Vulkan gets you a nice status bar while OpenGL showed a black screen in the past. Just get a coffee or a beer or whatever and let it do it's job, once it finished the game starts.

So i tried skyscrapers to scrape al my n64 games with videosnapes and it scrape al my games.

It’s works really fast and it’s easy to use if you setup your config properly.

Thanks!

I hope to finalize my audio addons (Audio tools, Librespot, Snapclient and Snapserver) before Sunday.

That’s great!

Thanks for the great support!

Quote from 5schatten

There should be an addon in the future where you have to set your audio output device and if it works this one should be used for alsa and pulseaudio which should resolve all the audio problems.

Lets hope so.

So we’ll have to wait when the addon is avaible?

About the audio setup I've seen awiouy created a PR to add some useful audio tools Refesh audio addons by awiouy · Pull Request #3310 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub which should allow a graphical setup of your audio output for third party software. Once it is ready to merge I have to see if I can add it straight to my build.

That’s great news thanks!

How to use this does it comes with an addon that we have to install?

That's explains a lot thanks!

5schatten thank you for the latest build it's working great.

I see in /storage/.config a skyscraper folder.

Does that mean i can use this scraper also in putty/terminal?

If so how to use this scraper.

I can see in the config.ini it is able to scrape videosnaps?

I noticed after updating your builds to a newer builds dolphin is stuttering.

After a couple of times trying if finally runs at full speed.

I did not touch any settings or so.

But it occurs only after updating the builds.

Did you noticed this?

Just want to let you know....

Thanks!

Check the google-chrome directory in configlfiles it should contain the config stuff. If in doubt then delete the whole dir and & reapply an update to recover the base files.

Alt+Exit quits Sportify -> otherwise I have no clue... the program even lags a proper quit button in it's menus.

Thanks will try that

5schatten is ther any chance to pull the chrome config file?

Chrome is crashing when hiting the sync now button when i try to login with my google account.

So chrome is crashing all the time now and unable to start properly anymore.

And is there a shortcut key to exit spotify?

Thanks!

Well that worked for me when i tried the first time N64 emulator.

I had the same issue when i tried the first time N64 so i edited the es_systems.cfg and then it works.

Just trying to help.

Quote from Zenga

Hey Thanks, I was trying to upgrade from vanilla libeelec. clean install worked fantastic. Any guides on how to get the N64 emulator to work? I transferred the rom and it finds it no problem, scrapes no problem but when i try to run it the screen goes black for a second and then goes back to emulation station.

Did you try this?

Quote from 5schatten

Configuration:

Edit es_systems.cfg and replace <command>/usr/bin/retroarch.start -L /tmp/cores/mupen64plus_libretro.so %ROM%</command> with either <command>/usr/bin/m64p-cli.start %ROM%</command> or <command>/usr/bin/m64p.start %ROM%</command> to start Mupen64plus with with cli or QT5 GUI.

well in the end it's all about a working PulseAudio config. Right now I'm just loading the autodetection module and hopefully it does it's job. If not you will get no audio output. So I'm probably going to change the start scripts that they ignore module autodetection if there are any /storage/.config/pulse-daemon.conf.d/*.conf present. Then you have to create your own PA config files Pulseaudio [LibreELEC.wiki] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pulseaudio/troubleshooting

But from my past experience where users just had to add one single line to asound.conf

Thanks for looking.

So if i understand i have to make a pa config file in /storage/.config/pulse-daemon.conf.d/

So i’ve read the wiki but there isn’t any info what content to put in pa config file to get the config work.

Any hints what to put in my pa config file?

Quote from bigboo

I have the same problem on x64 pc with amd gpu for both ES and Pegasus, sound is ok in menu, sound works everywhere in all emus, everything is correctly configured, but no sound in video previews.

How did you configured you asound and your advanced.conf?

Ik have a nuci5bnh and i have exactly the same waht you have sound everywhere but not in my videosnaps.

If changed audio backend to pulseaudio in advanced.conf it did not help either

Quote from TicklePickle

Hi

First up thanks 5schatten for this awesome build! I've been using the Amlogic version on my 905 device for a few months now but in the last couple of updates (Just installed 6th Feb one) I seem to have no audio on the video previews in Emulationstation despite the option being enabled. Is anyone else having issues? I still get the menu sounds in emulationstation and audio is fine in retroarch. I've tried various audio device settings in the emulationstation config but nothing has worked so far.

Thanks

I have exactly the same and i still have not figured it out what is wrong with my setup

Has anyone tried to run emulationstation in aeon nox silvo.

I've already dealt with the subject that is already out of date

Yes i’m using ES with aeon nox silvo and it’s working fine

Hi is there a standalone dolphin en pcsx2 emulator in this addon

Quote from blackride

Thank. But I don't want install CE nightly build. Only stable release.

Then you’ll have to wait for the next release
