This sounds like a similar issue I reported a week or so ago on GitHub, but you pushed a fix and I couldn't replicate after. I'll see if I can find some time to test today.

Not to stir the pot too much here, but what do you think the Anbernic devices are?

Is there a tty2oled kit that can be bought from an online store, other than Antonio Villena's (screen is too big for my intended use)?

Thanks

All TTY2OLED are pretty much going to be the same size since it's based on a specific display. If you need something smaller, i2c2oled might be something to look into.

Come on people, this whole software emulation vs hardware emulation vs original hardware debate has gone over a million times, and there's no need to rehash it here. If you are happy with Pi or 351 based emulation, then great! That's awesome. You should use it, and have fun. This product isn't for you, and just because you wouldn't buy it doesn't m...

We worked on an ini parser at some point but ran into issues. Good idea to pick this back up since I did have a look at how tty2oled does it recently. Just a question, why do you have norepeat disabled? I think I turned it off when I was testing out those issues I saw when trying to set only a single core in the ini. Probalby not something that I ...

given how many things are being added to the ini file lately, it might make sense to take a note from the TTY2OLED book and have two different ini files--the main SAM ini that has all parameters in it, and gets updated whenever the script is updated. Will always just have default parameters in it. Then also a SAM user ini file, where a user just pu...

Yes.

I'd be interested in having an option for putting these in the root menu, like how the favorites script provides that as an option. The root menu always feels so empty with just five folders in it, and shortcuts to favorite consoles there would be great.

Loving the internet radio support. Just need a medium length boot sound to let WiFi come online, then Rainwave chiptune is perfect!

Well I figured it out. "eu" is in the default ini's folderexclude.

Removed that, and it works. So that makes sense. There's likely something in the zip logic where if it selects a zip where everything is in the folderexclude, it just falls back to the zip itself instead of selecting another.

Yeah, everything's super smooth now that I have multiple cores in the ini. 32x works with my original zips, too. Though for some reason SAM hates my Europe zip and just selects that as a game for the MGL. But it selects games just fine out of the US and JP zips without issue. I've re-made and tweaked that zip a bunch of different ways and can't get...

So far, I get the same general failure method for all of the following cases: Loose 32X ROMs in /games/s32x S32X ROMs in small zips in /games/s32x S32X ROMs in one large ~350MB zip in /games/s32x S32X ROMs in the original Genesis htgdb pack in /games/s32x Between all tests, I deleted all SAM lists and rebooted. So I decided to rewind and start test...

SMS and GG are now working much better as of the last update. And it's not picking that SMS game when in GG mode all the time now either. About to wrap up for the day, but will spend more time on it tomorrow, and will test shuffling all cores again then too. Here are my paths: arcadepath="/media/fat/_arcade" fdspath="/media/fat/games...

Does it say, using zip in both cases? Yes. As noted in my above comment, I think I've been using "using zip" for all of my testing ever due to how I trimmed down my Everdrive packs. Also have some more interesting logs now that samquiet=no. On the 32x, I currently just have loose ROMs in a folder. See how it tries to launch the same game...

Latest update appears to have broken something--it's now creating MGLs without putting ggpath or smspath in the directory structure: <mistergamedescription> <rbf>_console/sms</rbf> <file delay=1 type=f index=2 path="../../../..1 US - A-Z/Reggie Jackson Baseball (USA).sms"/> </mistergamedescription> Also failing on cores that previously wo...

Ahh OK interesting. My Game Gear zip is 112MB, SMS is 73 MB. I stripped out all of the hacks, homebrew, betas, etc. to save on SD space. So the zips are Everdrive packs, just leaner versions.

For 32x, it's like a 50MB zip for the full ROMset, so this is probably something others will run into on that front soon.

Yep, says using zip. And these are smaller zip files. And man, it really, really loves Reggie Jackson Baseball for SMS when shuffling to GG. I swear it picks it like 90% of the time. I reboot regularly during testing, and still can't get 32x to work even with loose ROMs. Still does the thing where it selects the same game twice and, then another ga...

Yeah, I think my original zips were just down with windows, and the new zips I just made were with 7zip. So that's probably the difference there. I had been clearing out the gamelists, but it looks like the were moved into the .MiSTer_SAM folder from where they were before, so I wasn't actually succeeding at resetting on the last few tests. Still v...

OK, so just downloading, unzipping, re-zipping, and re-uploading the SMS/GG files in the exact same structure resolved the problem. I've had it running for a while now without issue. Will attempt similar with 32x. Only issue I see right now is that the gamelist/anti-repeat feature seems not to work. As you can see in the screenshot below, it select...

I'm pretty sure mine are the Everdrive packs, just with the top zip renamed. But I can confirm that if I just put some loose roms into /games/sms/sms and /games/sms/gg and update the ini accordingly, it looks like it's working just fine! So it does appear to be something with my specific zip structure I guess. I'll play around with re-zipping and s...

Have you tried zipping your SMS/GG? I think you said you had unpacked sets, so maybe it's worth trying to replicate my structure on your end? Other than that, yeah, I don't really have any ideas on that one. Really odd that GB/GBC work for me using a similar folder structure, but GG/SMS fail so badly.

I've been on stable main for a while. On v220413. So far the MGL issue is only happening for SMS/GG and now 32x. I haven't tested in depth with other cores, but GB/GBC ran for fifteen minutes just fine. Shuffled all cores for a short while and didn't see any failures there either. 32x core has it's on games directory because it's an entirely separa...

Yeah, I did already do a full reset this morning as well. Same issues. REset from the SAM menu, then updated from the menu. I noticed that a reset doesn't delete the gamelists folder, BTW. Might also be good to have it be .SAMGameLists so that it's a hidden directory from the menu. GB and GBC appear to be working. And I have a similar folder struct...

Yep, did do a hard reboot or two today during testing. Moved games into and back out of directories as well, so the list should have regenerated multiple times.

Unfortunately, no change in behavior for GG only setup with zips like that. Still selects SMS games from a different zip, see MGLs below. <mistergamedescription> <rbf>_console/</rbf> <file delay= type= index= path="../../../../media/fat/games/SMS/Sega Game Gear.zip/2 Japan - A-Z/Pro Yakyuu '91, The (Japan).gg"/> </mistergamedescription> <...

I'd be happy enough with bob, so long as filters could be updated to support alternating scanlines.

To reproduce the GG only issue, I'm setting that as the only core in the ini file, not just running the script with the "gg" flag. I grabbed the MGL right after it said "no RBF found" and it appears to be using "_console/" as the RBF name: <mistergamedescription> <rbf>_console/</rbf> <file delay= type= index= path=&quo...

Yes, I can confirm that global volume does affect BGM. Core volume does not, so that should be the go forward plan. Getting odd behavior after a reset and update. This happened when trying to test GG only. First game loaded fine, but all subsequent games failed to load with a "no RBF found" error on screen. Looks like the script somehow g...

GUI update is working great for me. Haven't tested all features, but seems good from what I've seen so far.

That would certainly be cool but not something I have any control of. I suspect the maintainers of those scripts won't be interested until this script is in a stable and proven state If you want downloader support, you just need to set up BGM with a downloader-friendly repository format. See below. Once you have the zip made, anyone can add BGM to...
