My head is about to EXPLODE! I've dumbed down my complete setup have only one emulator (snes9x2010) and a couple roms for testing on said emulator and still can't get box art!!!! Plz tell me what I am missing? And for the love of god plz don't post something that is for the wii u between the years of 2015 or 2016 as I feel they are obsolete and get me even angrier. Like I mentioned before, i have team viewer installed if someone wants to help a brother out. Those that dont know what team viewer is, it allows you access to my cpu to show me what im doing wrong. Honestly, its a freaking shame, I program Control4 for $2,000,000 homes, which is a home automation system that controls anything you could imagine, but cant seem to make this stuff work. #fail #imnotdumb #helpusplz

First, a HUGE Thank you to Cucholix for the RA channel!

I have three questions:
1) There are three SNES emulator, which is the most accurate?
2) In older versions there was a "Setting" option, where you could adjust the aspect ratio etc.. Is it gone? O.o
3) Anyway to add scanlines?

You are using playlists for the box art?

Snes9x is best one imho.
For aspect ration go right ones, scroll down to video.
No scanlines, they just said that like last page lol.

Of course I have, isn't that a bit dated tho? Im using stable build 1.6.7, should I try lower? Also, Snes9x2010 (the only core installed) don't see games in rom directory.
The op was literally just updated. And what do you mean don't see games in rom directory

You don't "see" them in the playlist? in content load? in your SD
Not sure how many other ways I can explain the issue

Did you set the path? If not you would need to manually go sd roms etc. The roms directory is never set default for them.
I did that

I just cant get it to work...I keep getting the corrupted memory for some reason. I completely reinstalled Retroarch from latest nightly (is that really a recommended thing to do?) and it wont work. I deleted WiiU folder to prevent rpx loading and installed channel. I run the application from Mocha and then when in CFW, Retroarch.Am I doing something wrong?

Thumbnails\Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System\named_ boxarts etc <-- these were pulled via the OP thread you guys mentioned

Thanks :)
It's fine if you want to use it on the Wiki :3
Cool. Thanks for giving me green light for that. Will do it soon. :)

Cores\playlist <-- empty
That shouldn't be empty. Create a playlist. E.g. with playlist buddy for windows and put it there. Be sure to adjust the paths to where they are on your SD and take care to use "/" instead of "\" for paths.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
