sorry i have not heard of the flashback problem

hmm that sounds like you have an overall network issue on the device. if both theme download and scraper are not working

we have not found an android tv box that supports 64bit applications. so at this time we dont think it will work on android tv

please try the details outlined here gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/FAQ-ANDROID.md#when-i-launch-a-game-using-retroarch-i-just-see-a-black-screen-what-is-wrong

nm 30 second search on google found this: AYN Odin 2 Pro

its an odin 2 pro

sorry that is not something we handle from es-de

do you mean directly as part of screensaver controls?

@@ES-DE_Frontend yes, like we can do for launching them. It would be nice to press a button (I.e. Select) and let us to favourite/delete them.

make sure the files you create with this tutorial are named with a .psvita extension

@@ES-DE_Frontend did that but still doesn’t show up. I accidentally deleted the psvita system info txt file. Do you think that’s the issue?

please check out the user guide here: gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md#pico-8

@@ES-DE_Frontend Thank you

@@ES-DE_Frontend Thank you!

sorry no, not at this time

would need to check vita3k instructions

great tip, thank you

i use Solid Explorer File Manager

hmm odd that didnt work it should download based on the steps and set up i walked through in the video

@ES-DE_Frontend for some reason... my dataset folder to put the metal data files are in a different local then in your video....hmm... maybe an update to ESDE?

ps2 is much simpler. just add the isos for the games you are interested in playing yo the /ps2 folder

@@ES-DE_Frontend the Problem is on the internal storage I have switch and sd card rest

make sure to first install the game in the vita3k emulator. that should do it

@@ES-DE_Frontend Now it worked for me, thank you very much friend, I also wanted to ask you, is it possible to launch games directly from ES-DE J2ME JAVA emulation station?

What avbout metadata? The Descriptions do not seem to be in this.

yes, the settings described in this video should fix that

for those types of file i wonder if it would be ok to use the hide option? if you dont need those files to display in your gamelists they can be hidden and then scraper will ignore them (they will still be in the directory so they can be used by emulators). what do you think?

@@ES-DE_Frontend its more a problem with scraping - lets say that the quota is 1000scrapes per day and i have 100,000 roms to scrape. Scrape Run 1 (No meta data filter option): 1000 games scraped, 800 successfully, 200 not found - quota reached Scrape Run 2 (No meta data filter option): 1000 games scraped, 600 successfully, 200 not found from scrape run 1 (still no meta data), 200 newly not found games - quota reached Scrape Run 3 (No meta data filter option): 1000 games scraped, 400 successfully, 200 failed from day1, 200 failed from day 2, 200 failed from day 3 Because the failures don't update the meta data (as they shouldn't) - it means, you eventually only scrape roms that have no meta data available and you constantly run out of quota by scrape run 5 i will have scraped about 5000 roms but will be fail on 1000 roms - these failures will constantly hit the quota limit and i will never be able to scrape past these initial 5000 and roms 5000-100,000 will never be scraped I can't tell, easily which roms are going to fail. The Acorn Electron was an example i could easily identify - but there were lots of others that are not so obvious

wow, thank your kind words. very happy to hear that 😊

try adding a .cue to the name of the folder so it matches the name of the cue file inside of it

different use cases and different approach - good there are different options at least. thanks for checking it out.

@@ES-DE_Frontend Different approach? Different use cases? Its the same old emulationstation. I cant just copy and paste my library from other emulationstation, so theres no point in use ES-DE over Daijisho, and Daijisho is free. Feels really bad and stupid, because Its the same emulationstation modified to be worse. And on Windows we have Retrobat, witch is great.

sounds great. good to have options. enjoy and thank you again.

yes, at least from my knowledge of retroarch

thank you we agree too, localization support will be the big feature in our next release.

notepad will work fine. just make sure to save it with a .psvita extension when done

Thank you! Oh man this video saved me. Lol.

glad it helped!

you can select your root rom directory during installation. the user guide has details about to change that afterwards gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md

@@ES-DE_Frontend it's fine now, i figured it out. I changed my rom's folder name, so it asked to re-choose rom's folder when i open ES-DE app.

How do I create a file? I’m using the Google Files app and the Oden files app and I can only create folders.

sorry no the functionality to add an intro video is not available in ES-DE

the version that has worked well from our testing is always the latest 64bit android release direct from retroarch website

@@ES-DE_Frontend I've tried all three version of retroarch from their site but all seems to have the same issue. currently running on android v14 edit* i downloaded f-droid version and it works, all is good now just need to do some testing

that will vary depending on the emulator being launched. you’ll need to research the options for exiting in each emulator as ES-DE does not configure emulator settings

I've just seen in another video that you press start/select (the two small top buttons) at the same time, I've not tested this yet mind. I've been trying to figure out how to add vita games to esde on the deck. Hopefully this video will help me when I go to try it

sorry i am not sure. all i know is that we support this method in ES-DE.

vita3k emulator requires games to be installed directly to its folder so that emulator cannot read games from the sd card. please check the vita3k discord or website for more info. its not something we can change from es-de. vita3k would need to support that.

@ES-DE_Frontend Thank you so much for your reply. Really appreciate. I am nee to this and learning everyday. Thank you again.

i use console launcher

good morning right back :) check out details here: gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/ANDROID.md#supported-game-systems

sorry not that I know of

there are good details in our documentation located here: gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/INSTALL.md#es_find_rulesxml

@@ES-DE_Frontend thank you so much. I am trying to also get the flash game Abobo's Big Adventure running as well! Haha it's tough

its something we are considering but please keep in mind that adding an emulator is not always a simple thing - especially on android (have to consider things like “does the emulator support launching from a frontend”, “how does it handle intents”). this is why we currently don’t have a tutorial on this. our discord community is very helpful for specific emulator questions as well so that could be an option if you are interested.

the reason you don’t see psvita in alternative emulators is because vita3k is the only emulator available. 2 things to try… make sure the folder name for psvita is all lowercase and make sure there are no line breaks in your .psvita files (everything should be on one single line in those files). also double check that the extension for the file is .psvita sometimes that can get changes without seeing it.

@@ES-DE_Frontend heyy thank you for the reply but I was able to figure out what I did wrong last night. I did put the title ID on second line that's what happen. haha. after editing the line, it's now working. Looks remarkable I say. thank you again, ES-DE!😁

yes, please read the details and steps here: gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/FAQ-ANDROID.md?ref_type=heads#when-i-launch-a-game-using-retroarch-i-just-see-a-black-screen-what-is-wrong

​@@ES-DE_Frontend merci beaucoup, le lien a régler mon problème d'écran noir 😊

thank you for your suggestion! if we add it we’ll post back here.

yes it can, on a per game or per system basis you can change with emulator is used

@@ES-DE_Frontend do u have a video on how to do that.
