[RESOLVED] RPCS3 gamelist problem

Hi guys,

i managed to use the .m3u list with RPCS3 emulator, I can scrape stuff but when i reload retrobat no gamelist.xml is created so i have to re-scrape again to show pictures/videos (they are correctly saved in the respective folders); is there a fix for that ? Do I need to create gamelist.xml manually ?

Hello
Nope, but maybe something went wrong.
Can you add here some picture of your assets folder, and your gamelist.xml ?

Here it is.

The problem seems to be that retrobat does not generate any gamelist.txt ; is it possible I messed with some specific PS3 retrobat setting ? If so which ones ?

I also tried to manually create a gamelist.xml file (empty) without success.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your support !

Hello,

Can you show us 2 things:
1) The RetroBat PS3 games list with these 2 games scrapped.
2) Your es_systems.cfg file (PS3 part), the file is available in retrobat\emulationstation\.emulationstation folder.

This should be the .cfg part:

Code:


  <system>
    <name>ps3</name>
    <fullname>Playstation 3</fullname>
    <manufacturer>Sony</manufacturer>
    <release>2006</release>
    <hardware>console</hardware>
    <path>~\..\roms\ps3</path>
   <extension>.m3u .ps3 .iso .7z .zip .rar .squashfs</extension>
    <command>"%HOME%\emulatorLauncher.exe" -gameinfo %GAMEINFOXML% %CONTROLLERSCONFIG% -system %SYSTEM% -emulator %EMULATOR% -core %CORE% -rom %ROM%</command>
    <emulators>
      <emulator name="rpcs3"/>
    </emulators>
    <platform>ps3</platform>
    <theme>ps3</theme>
  </system>



This is the situation AFTER scraping:


The situatio before scraping is just the name list wihtout images and without videos.

And when you quit Retrobat you are saying that the information is not saved ?
Are there permission issues in the roms\ps3 folder ?

Where is your rayman game folder actually located ?

The game folder is in \roms\ps3 but it is the same if I put it in RPCS3 \hdd0\disc folder

Yeswhen I exit or rescan for games inside retrobat (without exiting) nothing is shown and gamelist.xml is NOT created...

EDIT !
YOU ARE A GENIOUS !

The problem was a protected \roms\ps3 folder (read only) dunno why... maybe my little child playing with the keyboard... thank you VERY much !!!!


EDIT2

i just noticed that ALL my folders are +R... but the problem seems to be just for PS3 folder... removing the +R form the folder attribute seems to fix the problem anyway.


EDIT3

No way, at each reboot roms subfolders got the +R attribute automatically (dunno why); i am using Windows 7, can be this the problem ? Maybe I am missing some shell functionality ?

Hello,
You should upgrade your windows to 10 or 11, we do not support windows 7 anymore as written in our prerequisites.

I just tested it with win10 and my \roms subfolders are all +R each time i restart retrobat... is this normal ? I removed the +R attribute but it comes up again after restarting retrobat...

I don't even know what +R means...

It is the attribute "read only" and it is applied by retrobat to all the /roms subfolders. Is this change in folder/files permissions normal for retrobat?

Yes, but that's not an issue, gamelist.xml is correctly created for everyone.

Something must be off for you as you are saying that ONLY ps3 gamelist.xml is not correctly created.

Can you show us your es_systems.cfg ?

Here it is: https://www.sendspace.com/file/apsak1

What should i look for ?

Anyway it seems that the issues is extended to other emulators too (no way to update gamelist.xml) so at a certain point something went wrong... dunno where... if you can help me I will be grateful.

EDIT

Solved ! I rewrote a backup of the main retrobat files/folders and everything started to work again !
