Problems with .smc roms

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hello,

I’m trying to make a arcade console, and for this I have decided to use Lakka. So far all tests have gone well, but I’m having problems with SNES roms. The extension of these roms are .smc, but when I give “Scan this directory” does not recognize any game. However, through the “Load Detect and Core Content” option I can ejectuar games without problems.

How I might make a playlist that recognize the roms .smc and that run with the correct Core?

Online is now possible to update the thumbnails? To try fails.

Thank you!

Hello,

If I am only interested in SNES games (.smc), there is a possibility of putting the core default with the roms run properly?

Thank you!

Hello,

In short, Lakka uses a database to recognize roms based on a checksum performed on the rom file. If your roms don’t match the checksums from Lakka’s database, the rom scanner won’t find them. Search these forums for “rom scanning”.

You’ll either have the to replace your roms with ones the Lakka scanner will recognize, or you’ll have to build your own playlist “manually”. A few people (including me) have written a command line playlist builder and posted the scripts in these forums.

Please read the documentation about rom scanning :wink:

Hello!

I use the following script, but I doubt where I store the “scan.sh” file where does the script and which implements as follows

./scan.sh “/storage/roms/arcade/*.zip” “/tmp/cores/fba_libretro.so” “Arcade (FB Alpha - SVN)” “FB Alpha - Arcade Games.lpl” > “/storage/playlists/FB Alpha - Arcade Games.lpl”

The script is:

#!/usr/bin/bash

for fullpath in $1; do echo $fullpath filename=$(basename “$fullpath”) echo “${filename%.*}” echo $2 echo $3 echo “DETECT” echo $4 done

Thanks!!

You can update the database to detect more roms? If possible, as it would be? Thank you!
