Red250 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hey guys, working on my psx stuff. I can't get any game with '&" to show up on the wheel on psx. Naming is all correct, but no luck. I added Sega cd earlier, and I noticed it works fine for games with "&". Any clues? I can change them to "and" and of course they'll work that way, but it's a bit of a hassle. But if that's what I have to do, I guess I will. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's a known issue. Didn't realise it works in things like segaCD but not ps1. That's a new bit of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red250 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yeah that's what was throwing me off. I had messed with the Playstation awhile back with no luck. I added Sega CD and just happened to notice that they worked fine as I was scrolling through the wheel. Thanks for the reply, so I know I'm not nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatman84 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 So i just quickly checked my sega CD amd sony playstion wheels, database and roms. I have the Advanced Dungeon & Dragons game. Rom file is named with plain & Xml rom name is & Xml description is also & Game shows in both wheels Launches in Sega CD because I have the rom. Missing that one for PS1. Also gametext on will shows plain &. So & seems to be all working and displaying fie. My only thought is you have roms_only filter set to true in the .ini. Change it to false and see how tou get on @Red250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper360 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I just change the ROM name and detabase name wheel name video name to and instead of & because I still have the wheel saying & so it doesn't really matter to me that's my way around this one lol it's about stupid having to have the amp after tho they should fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It just seems like it is actually working so there may not be a need to change it. I need to test roms_only filter to see if that's the actual problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper360 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Let me know how you get on dude haven't really done much with my android setup for a while but I have the same problem with pc and android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper360 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I think it may not boot tho through retroarch as the game name does not state & that's if ur using retroarch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom name uses the & symbol same as artwork. it stops working when the roms only filter is applied. so either replace all & with and in the xml's or don't use roms only filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper360 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Sound I use roms only filter as it would show all games in my database otherwise and I don't have all the games in database so i would still be snooked. I have most of them on pc but I prefer to have it on still, shame really but 70% still need renaming because I have an old rom set not sure if theirs an updated one yet I also only have a-j never finished downloading them all and the last time I checked on pc I was getting an error may have a look in a min to see if I can sort it.

viper360 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 So if I disable roms only and add wheel only put in just the wheel of what games I have would this still work on android? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Wheels only doesn't work on droid iirc. i have a setting file guide on here that lists what works or doesn't. also the pinned post by Rez states if it works or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper360 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 No its not supported so I would still be snooked. Fort it would be working by now tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd suggest is getting Don's Hyperspin List Generator on your PC. You can then take your original PSX.xml, tick the games you want from it and export them to a new .xml file for your shield TV. You'll find guides to do it if you google. All the best with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red250 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 @thatman84 Yup, that's what it was on mine. Changed them around and verified. I appreciate it. It would be nice if the roms_only worked properly, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
