[ENG] Bugs feedback

If you find any bugs with BatGui.exe, please report them here, and specify which version you are using. :thumb-up

Hi again I'm here for this: https://retrobat.forumgaming.fr/t692-how-do-i-put-prboom-tyrquake-cave-history-under-ports-system#4068

I have the same problem again, the option option "Grouped Systems" in not under collection settings, so I discover the reason, I think there is a little bug with the Batgui, because if I change something like a ROM folder path, when I save for an extrange reason in the es_systems.cfg all the entries that contains "<group> /group>" are deleted check out the images:

A new es_systems.cfg archive from a new installation:


I would like to change the path folder in this case psx system


I save changes


No if I check  es_systems.cfg again, is complety different and all the <group> </group> are deleted


I can put the paths manually inside the es_systems.cfg, without issues so I consider this is a little bug with batgui, I hope you this info will be helpfull, and thanks for this software!

@Drodrik it's good now.

Some problems encountered in version 4.02:
- Bat GUI writing to es_system.cfg will generate a lot of duplicate data
For example: .7z .zip =>.7z .zip .7z .zip .7z .zip .7z .zip
- When Bat GUI saves the gamelist, some languages will appear garbled. For example, the system is GB coded

Hum weird, cause

Bat GUI writing to es_system.cfg will generate a lot of duplicate data < batgui never touch the file (on the older version yes, but since 2 or 3 months, it only write es_system_custom.cfg. And i'm 99% sure i already corrected this bug so strange.

When Bat GUI saves the gamelist, some languages will appear garbled. For example, the system is GB coded < ok i look at this one !

Thank's for the feedback, sorry my late answer i didn't get any notification email, need to check if i've deactivated the thing xD

Edit : Did you know which version he used, cause all those bugs in my memory are already corrected with update, so maybe he's using an old version, cause actually, batgui don't write anymore data in the Es_system.cfg, it always in a es_system_custom.cfg, so if batgui write in the wrong, that cause it's the older version he use !

Hi, BatGui finds the games with matching system extensions and when in the gamelist editor tab, clicking on them loads them in the Name & Path section. I also have a Video Folder (-video) and Images Folder (-images, -marquee, -thumb). These are not automatically loaded in the Image, Video, Marquee and Thumbnail sections so saving a gamelist doesn't include them.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gameList>

I am hoping to use the Gamelist Editor to find the games, Video's and Images and generate a matching .xml. What am I doing wrong? Thanks again.

Please update batgui to the lastet version, you seems to use a very old version !

Marquee / Video and thumnail are managed since Summer 2021



Please find the link here : BatGui.exe

Juste overwrite the one over retrobat, or just do the update at the start of batgui (it will propose the update, if you're connected to internet indeed)

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded it yesterday and updated it. I'll try updating again. Mine looks just like your photo if it's reading a completed correct gamelist.XML file. If you add some new games, Images and Video folders to the system ROM folder it finds the name and path but the image, video, marquee and thumbnail lines are left blank even though there are images.PNG and video.mp4 in their folders. When you save the gamelist.XML they are therefore missing? I'll update, remove the old gamelist.xml and try rerunning the gamelist editor to see if it can generate a complete gamelist. Thanks again:)

Ok Reppa, I ran the Batgui updater. I then put a Segacd game - After burner 3 (USA),  In the video folder - After Burner III (USA)-video and in the Images folder - After Burner III (USA)-image, After Burner III (USA)-marquee and   After Burner III (USA)-thumb all in the segacd Roms folder. My hope is after clicking "save gamelist" I would have a complete gamelist with all images and video included. Is there a way to have Batgui search the  Images and video folders as well as the game. This way I can quickly add a few new games, vids and images and generate a gamelist for it. Thanks for having a look.

Ok ok i see, so batgui was not able to auto find the file, he doesn't do that, cause they're too many "case"

For some people, they have like me, multiple directory where the file as the exact name of the roms. Here you have all files in one directory with an "-xxxx" at the end, hum, i need to think about it .

It can be a good improvement. Can i keep in touch with you and send you later this week an updated version for you to test that ?

I'll contact you in pm when i've a working version ^^

Of course, I would be happy to test. Very much appreciated.

Hello @Reppa

Not a bug, but a request on Discord.
For gamelist editor, add predefine path for /images and /videos (like the internal scrapper path).

Hello everyone, I hope you are well!

I'm going through my process of configuring the games on the mini-pc I'm building for myself and my grandson, and I ran into a problem putting the Nintendo WiiU games on the RetroBat list.
I added the games and they appear in the list, with the launcher name of each game. Following some research I did, I saw that it is necessary to manually change the gamelist.xml using BatGui, but when accessing the games list it displays the following message, and exits the program:

Code:

Sorry, i forgot

My version is 1.7.40.0

One thing I forgot to mention was that the first time it worked (it showed the WiiU games list) but after I added other games the problem started..

Some more information to try to help:

I went to the ~\Retrobat\roms\wiiu\ folder and deleted the gamelist.xml file. I opened retrobat, went to the listing, and asked to scrape one of the games. I closed RetroBat.
I went to BatGui, and the GameList Editor menu opened the wiiu games without crashing, but it only showed 3 entries. I clicked the "show all game" button and after click on "save gamelist", and right after, it showed this message:

Code:

Hell, thank's for the feedback, i'm in vacancies, i'll check all that as soon as i can .

Probably next week, time to run some test and find what happen and why the object seems to no longer exist when you saved !

Hi.
Congratulations for the work done with Retrobat, I really like it.
However, I have some problems with BatGUI that I cannot resolve.
If I change the rom folder (arcade, for example) or if I try to set the Steam profile (configured privately, as explained in the FAQ) at that moment it seems ok and when save is confirmed that the saving was successful.
When I then close BatGUI and go to reopen it, all the changes have been lost.
Why?

Hello, i'm currently moving from my house, i will look at that when i got some times

Steam information aren't saved at all, i don't keep the username.

If I change the rom folder (arcade, for example) < that shold be working fine, check the "es_system_custom.cfg" who overide what is in the Es_System.cfg , i only write data in the "..._custom.cfg", the es_system for batgui is just here as a template for the custom.cfg

I'm not sur that answered your question, but for the moment i can't do more.

Thank you but it doesn't work.

When reopening batgui, are you sure that you start from es_system_custom (which have been modified) and not es_system (the original) ?

Yes, I'am on es_system_custom, I'am sure.

So, in between, go to
\RetroBat\emulationstation\.emulationstation\
Open es_systems_custom.cfg with notepad, and edit manually your path.

Thanks for your answer.
Honestly I had already arrived at that solution but I hope to be able to find a solution.
However, I will continue to try to understand the cause.
For now I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Retrobat on different partitions, disable all antivirus and protections and check that the files were not set to read only.
Unfortunately, nothing has served the purpose of making BatGUI work...

I noticed in BatGUI that if I change the roms folder by typing the address it works fine. The problem instead occurs when I choose the icon to change path (the one with the three dots)

help, when I try to open the app this dialog box comes out, I just installed RETROBAT, here is a screenshot of the error

Ayuda

Is it possible that something block internet for BatGui ?
Because wd240vm.dll is a windev dll, and from my memory all was downloaded at the first use.

Hello, I'm using batgui (today's version).
I think there could be a bug: if I edit trhough batgui.exe a gamelist.xml file (no matter the system), batgui.exe cancel the "favourite" infotmation in that gamelist.

Thank you
