Consolidated issues we hope to see fix in the next RetroBat release (3.2)

Figured to consolidate all reported issues that we hope to see fixed on next RetroBat release (3.2) in priority order.
We have worked extremely hard to make it all work and happy to report 98.9% of core systems we want are working.

1. Arcade each game optimized emulator pre-selected and adjusted bezel project manually. (However not transferable to another user/system as expected):
 * reported to Retrobat developers -> https://retrobat.forumgaming.fr/t329-issues-with-binary-files-like-retrobatsavesarcademame2003-pluscfgdefault-cfg#2067
 * temporary workaround for Arcade games that don't load with default "fbneo" you have to manually change on per game basis: (- simply change emulator core) from ES > Arcade > Press Select > Advanced Game Option > Emulator and change to desired core (mame2003, mame2003plus, mame2010, fbalpha2012, etc... a formal list will be provided soon in excel format).

2. Support for multiple storage - multiple symlink limited: reported to Retrobat developers -> https://retrobat.forumgaming.fr/t285-support-for-multiple-storage-seems-to-have-been-fixed-in-continuous-master

3. Daphne Launcher Bug  "-datadir" not supported: reported to Retrobat developers -> https://retrobat.forumgaming.fr/t264-daphne-launcher-bug-datadir-not-supported

4 . On boot Splashscreen video randomizer - https://retrobat.forumgaming.fr/t253-on-boot-video-splashscreen-randomizer

5. Non theme custom-collection are not nested: reported to Retrobat developers -> https://retrobat.forumgaming.fr/t328-question-on-es-collection-support#2061

6. Support for ti99 standalone emulator "classicti99"

That's it for now and we love RetroBat!
Sincerely,
VMAN!

Tons of donation is coming your way guys! Amazing work and we want to help!

Of notice that these issues affect the current stable release. Some of them have been identified as fixed/working in continuous release builds (eg. Daphne and symlinks) but the others were only tested with stable.

Take care,
Bilu

Hello,

Thank you for your donations, it will help us a lot

We're working hard on the future version and with the lot of changes, this will be not 3.2 but 4.0.

We keep an eye on all your posts with your bugs reports and other, but don't worry if we cannot answer to all your post.

The v4.0 beta is comming soon, with new features to customize RetroBat and add your own config presets. You will be with the other contributors among the first to get early builds of it. I hope before Christmas

Take care too,

Kayl

Hi Team, I'm sure you know by now that I will be releasing my personal build (no roms) ...
I am curious if there is any chance to get a general status of fixes above? Is there a fix for daphne system (provide manual fix for now?) - I'm having live launch party Dec 23rd... showcasing all systems and tweaks .

I have special shout-out to you all ...

Hello,

We're working hard on the future release and we have improved the integration of several standalone emulators. We hope to release the 4.0 beta before 2021

If by "fix" you mean to correct the command line for Daphne, yes, we corrected this. You can try the last update of our emulator launcher here:

Code:

https://github.com/fabricecaruso/batocera-ports/releases/tag/continuous

You only need to replace emulatorlauncher.exe with the new one.

Hi @kayl - much appreciated and confirm Daphne is working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep us posted on other features/fixes we hope to see in 4.x

Hi @kayl - I tested every system with new emulatorlauncher.exe - only major issue to report at this time:

1. Amiga lr-puae my specific retroarch overrides are totally gone and I can't save any overrides at all (it does not persist).
I have specific video options to on and several other settings so screen ratio shows up correctly and all...

Roll back emulatorlauncher.exe from 3.1 and lr-puae retroarch overrides persist just fine...

I'm now in limbo (as much I want to keep it because it launches daphne it breaks amiga/lr-puae retroarch overrides .

Anyhow just to leave all changes from 3.1 emulatorslauncher.exe and to only include daphne fix

Sincerely,
Virtualman

Obviously with your custom 3.1 setup, we're between your installation and the theoric v4.0 that fits your needs to improve your custom build.

In french we've an expression for that: "Avoir le cul entre deux chaises"

You should wait for at least the v4.0 beta to maybe adapt your setup but we cannot revert back. All the modifications and improvements are made on purpose.

I've spend a few time to make amiga systems running well. Libretro core PUAE isn't the most efficient emulator so we did improve the integration of winuae standalone emulator and I added the compatibility with the legit emulator Amiga Forever.

@kayl je suis francais aussi , je comprend je suis patient - j'attent pour beta pas trouble
