Just a quick one. I have updated to the latest nightly....excellent work thank you :) However after I play a game in either Mame 2003 core or FBA Neo the description is blanked from the playlist and the name of the game shown reverts back to the name of the rom file.

For example my playlist in FB Alpha - Arcade Games has the game with description label 1942 (Revision A). After I play the game and close content or restart RetroArch the game is shown in the playlist as simply 1942. Opening the playlist file now shows "label": "",

Any ideas?


Quick update - I have set the playlists to read only for now so that seems to have stopped this issue for now but means I can not change the playlist within RetroArch.
Do you have exFAT?

no , you are helpful.

-i have really no idea what is wrong ,i verify every folder structure/names/caps/size

-i will do more test by replacing some images by snaps or titles (less Mo) from fba who works , also taking the same playlist structure from fba (just roms change and .lpl name)

- i verify the database for mame2003 plus qnd the names of the roms/snaps ard there !

will see
edit: @littleshaun was writing at same time , good idea i'll test that
have you renamed the database file for mame or mame 2003 ?
also its in caps "MAME"/"MAME 2003" and in you example its "mame"

My folder is lowercase but I don't think it makes any difference. The playlist has the MAME logo at the top too.

The playlist is named mame.ipl

So the new playlist method still buggy smh, try using the old method, and generate a new playlist.

I did try the old format without all the quotes etc but once loaded it gets converted to the new style anyway. It's fine as it is to be fair unless I need to remove a game from the playlist but I can do that over ftp anyway if I really need to.

Can a hacked switch use bluetooth headphones, or do I have to get a wired pair of headphones?

It can't. You can get a specific adapter for the Switch's USB port, or a generic adapter for the headphone socket, to connect to your bluetooth headphones, or use wired ones instead.

Thanks -

I see there is a music tab in retroarch. Can I put audio files on the SDCard and play them through RA? If so what should the filepath be on the SDCard, and what file types can be read (eg .mp3, .wav, etc).

hey this is kind of a dumb question but does it matter where I put the games at for retroarch to see them? Also does anyone know if fighting force for n64 runs well with it?
