thenoob Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Ok I must be doing something wrong. i have an nvidia Shield, I just want to add Atari 2600 to my exsisting setup. the XML is in the database folder, my Atari 2600.ini is in the Hyperspin/settings folder i copied over the Atari 2600 default theme from my pc, all relative media from my pc, still doesn’t show up on the main systems page. Where have I gone wrong? I know hyperspin and I’m puzzled why I can’t figure this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebrow Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Did you also modify the "Main Menu.xml" inside of the Databases folder to include it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenoob Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thank you!! now, if I’m putting my roms on a USB flash drive do I need to format it on the nvidia shield? I’ve got the proper model flash drive just don’t know if you have to format it before you put roms on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebrow Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Which version of the Nvidia Shield TV did you get? I let my shield re-format mine so I could treat it as internal storage versus external storage. It depends on what you are wanting to do. If you re-format it as internal storage, then if you have the 16GB model, your internal storage increases to the size of your external drive! But, the drive is now encrypted and can only be read by the specific Nvidia Shield TV that formatted it. I use my network to copy files to and from my Nvidia Shield TV. If you are wanting to unplug the drive and connect it to a computer to copy files to it, you may want to leave it as FAT and treat it as external storage. I'm sure smarter people in the forums can provide more insight to the pros and cons of both methods.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenoob Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 I fixed the space gap at the end of the parameter field of “so” and that didn’t work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebrow Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I noticed you have core with a space and then .soShouldn’t have a space there..And your structure says Emulators/Atari 2600/roms so it would expect to find them treating Hyperspin as your root.Are they at for example/sdcard/Hyperspin/Emulators/Atari 2600/roms?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenoob Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Yup I noticed that got rid of that space still no dice ive tried to scan my Atari folder inside retroarch with the bin files and it won’t scan. This is a perfect PD set that I use on my cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenoob Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 As far as the structure goes all the romsets/systems work fine and are in the same place so the structure should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebrow Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 If everything is in the correct folders and the structure is fine, It would have to be related to either the extension or the database file that you have for Atari 2600.xml. When it says it is missing, may just be the name of the file isn't matching, or the extension that you have defined in the Settings\Atari 2600.ini file. You have yours looking for bin files for the roms, I use the zip extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenoob Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Ya it’s weird I’ve checked those i edited the parameters on the Ini so it looks for bin (mine are unzipped) maybe ill redoenload the system XML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenoob Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 I think it’s a problem with the bin file extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Try adding bin and BIN BIN,bin missing rom trouble shooting rompath (case sensitive everything exact) file extensions (non caps and caps for certainty) games renamed to exactly what's in the database xml file.
