Not seeing all Arcade bezels #41

Closed dennisv1982 closed 4 years ago

dennisv1982 commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

first of all, great project!! I can't wait to use it for my arcade build. I am running RetroPie on Ubuntu, I have installed according to your manual. Everything installs without a error, BUT.... on some games in the arcade (mame) one i dont see the bezels... ie: The Simpsons Turtles in time Turtles

I am sure you have bezels for those, but i am a complete NOOB for retropie and Ubuntu... is it the filename? And if yes, how do i find out the correct file name?

thank in advance

Issues like you describe generally are because your rom file names do not match the cfg file names in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/ArcadeBezels, or the directory names under /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config do not match the names expected by the core you are using for the platform. Which Retroarch core are you using for Arcade?

dennisv1982 commented 4 years ago

The core I am using is lr-mame2003 When i change the name of the rom to the name in de directory the game wont boot.... it goes back to emulationstation after trying to run it

Did you originally install an image that contained everything, or did you download separate pieces and put things together? If you downloaded the MAME roms separate, which set did you download?

dennisv1982 commented 4 years ago

I downloaded a set, the file name in the set is simps2pj.zip and i see the name in the directory as simpsons2pj.cfg. But if i change the file name to simpsons2pj.zip.. the game doesnt run and after trying to boot it up it goes back to the menu

ps: I downloaded this romset: https://archive.org/details/MAME2003_Reference_Set_MAME0.78_ROMs_CHDs_Samples

EDIT: For the simpsons one, if i download the mame rom simpsons.zip i have the 4 player one and then it works for the bezel, where you cannot choose you character... how can you change the name of a rom so you can use another one? I still have to figure out why the 2 Turtles ones dont work

thanks

Don't rename the roms. Rename the cfg files under /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/core name, where core name should be MAME 2003 (0.78) for the core you said you were using. If renaming the files in that directory does not work, try renaming in the MAME 2003 directory in that same config directory.

That totally worked! For the simpsons at least, will now try other games... thank you and again, great project!
