Emulators / Re: how to patch mame with .diff and compile mame source code on windows x86 and x64

@ Bgoulette
Seems, that exists a problem, at the moment.
Stay tuned. Try again at different times.

-there is a way to get patch command. But I do not know, if it's still working.

-or you take pre-compiled version of mame from here.

Emulators / Re: EPSXe and multidisk games. How?

« Last post by progets on August 05, 2020, 10:54:46 PM »

If you don't like retroarch there is a standalone version of medafen.

There's nothing wrong with ePSXe but I don't think it supports .chd files.

Use whatever works best for you. Personally, I never want to see another .bin, .cue or .gdi file again and would only consider .pbp or .chd files for PS1 since they are natively compressed and don't require wait times to be unzipped or take a ton of space.

Looks great. That happens to be the color combination i use with "Silky" since i started using AM, so it'd feel like home

Emulators / Re: EPSXe and multidisk games. How?

« Last post by placebo_yue on August 05, 2020, 10:04:01 PM »

It's been a while..Honestly i've been busy completing every other emulator, adding all the art and such.

Now i wanna get back to this issue.
I'll try the playlist stuff ASAP and report back. I wouldn't mind having the two/three discs on the frontend list as long as i don't have to touch the mouse and keyboard and manually switch discs from the emulators UI. That's what i really wanna avoid. That's the whole point of using a frontend for me! So hopefully this works.

What's wrong with ePSXe? why is medafen superior?
I'm not too fond of retroarch in general, i think it's super bloated. But maybe for PSX it's fine? maybe it improved since i last tried it almost a decade ago?

General / Metadata for non-MAME romlists?

« Last post by placebo_yue on August 05, 2020, 09:57:12 PM »

Is this possible somehow? for mame i didn't have to move a finger and it scraped all the information for me, which is neat.
It would really help me to filter games by single/multiplayer and make a neat list for whenever i play with friends

Also, since recreating the romlist overwrites any changes i do manually, the auto-scraping of said data is crucial.
Otherwise im choosing between manually fixing every entry each time i add a few roms, or adding the roms manually to the textfile, or creating a new romlist and merging it with a backup with my information (again, manually). Which is awful and tedious.

I have "SkraperUI" installed which really helped me getting all the art for my games, but i never dwelled into the metadata side of the scraping before. I thought it could be added separately from the romlists but apparently not, which is BAD.

Any advice?

General / Re: One list many displays

I had already assumed that it couldn't be done...I was just hoping I was wrong?

As for the scripts...I don't know..already had some made so I could run some emulators with them and not have to open the terminal. I could just set them all up "normally" I guess. Then I ran into some problems trying that and said forget it...

I did find a work around though! I used a theme that uses the entire background as the snap/video background so I just took parts of a theme that i like and made it the system "snap" works great. Well except I am no graphic artist!    Works for me though and that is all I am worried about. I doubt anyone would care to do what I am doing anyway.

I have and old laptop I am wanting to put my old computer (and only computer) emulators on. No games or anything like that. Just a basic OS and some software. It's really do I can just "show off and be old and cool" thing. It would be great for a IT/computer history teaching tool maybe? other than that it really doesn't do much. Like I said no games...ans you know..games are where it's at!

It looks great at 9:16. I don't have the game info and stuff updated at the moment.

I'm trying to recompile for .204, but when I try to run the pacman -Syuu patch command, everything fails spectacularly. Is there some other trick to downloading patch? Thanks!

General / Crashing on Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan

Trying to run on an older iMac 7,1 can not go past El Capitan

Immediately crash. I can attached log if necessary, but just curious if it is “suppported” or if anyone has got it to run successfully on El Capitan   

Thanks in advance

Stay Safe
