Hello Neil , I tested the new version of PES and really enjoyed the addition of new emulators in this latest version 1.5, but the speed of the Sega 32X emulator is very slow , practically unplayable . I know we can optimize it for the Raspberry Pi , since other systems can run on almost perfection ( Recalbox ) . I'm not charging anything , even by offering this great system for free for us, but really want the PES to become one of the best platforms for Retro emulation on Raspberry Pi . I take this opportunity to thank you for being listening to users and aparfeiçoando increasingly your system. Thank you and congratulations for the great job so far.

Following this announcement by theGamesDb.net, the API URL used by PES needs to be modified:

Hi Everyone,

This is Zer0xFF from TGDB,

I'm emailing you today to notify you of a change to our API endpoint
naming.
due to the recent outage we had, we decided it's be for best to prefix the
currently API with "/v1/", in order to be version the endpoint,
this will allow us in the future to introduce api endpoints "/v2/" etc etc,
without breaking apps that still use "/v1/".

the only change required is for you to prefix the API url with "/v1/", no
other changes are needed.
e.g

https://api.thegamesdb.net/v1/Games/ByGameID?apikey=KEY&id=22729,9,60798&include=platform

If you've already made, Thank you and sorry for the email

Hello, i tried today the latest pes version 2,7 for the Raspberry pi 4 (1GB version)
after resizing partition its not booting the Gui it stucks in the operations completed successfully message,after i remove the power and put it back it stucks in the starting pes message
i tried the image in the Raspberry pi 3B and works fine

is this a known bug on the Rpi 4?

Thanks

hciconfig and some other bluetooth tools have been deprecated. As PES relies on hciconfig for starting bluetooth adapters, this needs to be addressed.

Deprecation info:

• https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53110
• https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg69239.html

Update PES to use: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bluetooth#Auto_power-on_after_boot instead.

Hello Neil, I'm glad to see that continues to improve the PES system. I would like to know if you have plans to add new emulators like Dreamcast and PSP and update the Mame emulator for mame 2003 from libretro as it is showing compatibility and better performance in games. Thanks for listening.

The "TotalPoints" and "TotalTruePoints" fields in the RetroAchievements API no longer exist which causes an error when updating achievement data.

Need to update PES to use the new "Points" field instead.

It would seem that http://legacy.thegamesdb.net/ is now down for good: https://forums.thegamesdb.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=591

An alternative for meta data and images is now urgently required!

Suggestions are welcome!

Add support for Commodore 64 by adding the Vice emulator.

At some point it would appear that the calculation of the "rasum" for MegaDrive and SNES games changed (and possibly others).

Need to check if the algorithm for rasum has changed.

Add recently played games etc. thumbnails to home screen along with recent achievements?

SDL2 TTF 2.0.14 fails to configure with freetype 2.9.1-1 under Arch Linux due to freetype-config not being provided anymore by the Arch Linux freetype package.

See thread: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58447

For joypads that actually have a Guide/Home button - make that button the RetroArch Hotkey. This also means when configuring a joypad manually in settings having your software notice if a home key was configured and letting that decide if the hotkey will be the home key or the select key. The reason for this is both common sense for the point of a "home/guide" key as well as problem with arcade cores in RetroArch. Their is a lingering feature/bug that causes some roms in any arcade core to not allow you to insert coins (select key) if that key is also the retroarch hotkey. Google for more info. Obviously you need to support select as the hotkey for controllers with very few buttons so your software will need to "notice" if a home key is programmed/available and know to change the hotkey to that button.

Request from Eric Smith.

Add the ability for PES to check for required files for emulators. For example, some emulators require BIOS files. These requirements could be specified in consoles.ini and checked by PES before launching a game and highlighted within the user interface.

Berryboot + PES on PI 3b+ getting faultmessage:
"Failed to activate swap /swapfile"
"dependancy failed for Swap"

Berryboot and PES are installed on SD, so no USB or portable

Any idea how to solve?

Requested by Kaerf Jones via Facebook.

Change order to:

Recently Played

Favourites
All

Drop: Recently Added

Change All hover to show recently added thumbnails instead?

Hello great OS
Is it possible to release Berryboot images also?
I tried to convert it but it did not work

Thank you

As suggested by @nwildner.

Power level of PS3 control pads can be found via: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sony_DualShock#Battery_charge_level

Add RetroAchievements.org API support.

Note: users will have to register their account themselves and take a note of their API key.

PHP API: http://retroachievements.org/APIDemo.php

Add support for Nintendo Wiimotes.

At the request of Kaed Wood, add openMSX support: http://openmsx.org

Update RetroArch to 1.6.0 as requested by Alex Silva.

Add support for 6 button control pads for MegaDrive/Gensis emulators.

When the escape key is pressed, prompt the user for confirmation that they wish to exit the PES GUI.

Reference: https://www.mundayweb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1426

RetroArch map control pad buttons to SNES control pad layout.

PES and SDL2 map control pad buttons to XBOX 360 layout.

Therefore make PES map correctly between the two when generating RetroArch config files.

Add the ability to use games saved on external drives.

Rather than exiting PES to launch a game, hide the PES GUI instead so it can be restored after the game has been played.

Note: this might not be possible as PES does consume resources which might otherwise be useful for the emulators. This needs testing on all Raspberry Pi models.

It would appear that it is possible for the game overview from theGamesDb.net to be null which causes an uncaught exception to be thrown in dbupdate.py on line 181.

This can be caused by the string returned for the name of some ROMs from theGamesDb.net.

See: hrydgard/ppsspp#12346 and hrydgard/ppsspp#12554

Change the /data partition used by PES on the Raspberry Pi from ext4 to FAT32 (aka vfat) to allow users to copy ROMs to the SD card from their PC.

Whilst performing a database scan, if the screen saver triggers the PES DB Update event is not trapped and thus the home screen's menu does not update.

Change default cover art scaling to 600px instead of 300px.

Need to test on all Raspberry Pi models.

Rather than users having to manually set-up their Bluetooth control pads (e.g. PS3, PS4 etc.) using bluetoothctl, create a daemon that monitors dbus for new connections and pairs/trusts control pads automatically. This could therefore mean than qtsixad can be replaced.

Hi.

I'm trying to pair a shanwan PS3 clone controller but it does not work. It pairs with bluetooth service(not sixad), and after its trusted it even shows at the bluetoothctl command line(after agent on, trust MAC:ADDRESS). I've sucessfully paired 2 controllers, but when i try to take them on by pressing the ps3 button this is what it happens:

[pi@pes ~]$ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller B8:27:EB:5F:02:64 pes [default]
[NEW] Device 05:24:68:65:63:25 PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller

Agent registered
[CHG] Device 05:24:68:65:63:25 Connected: yes

After some seconds of the controller blinking, its disconnected:

[CHG] Device 05:24:68:65:63:25 ServicesResolved: yes
[CHG] Device 05:24:68:65:63:25 ServicesResolved: no
[CHG] Device 05:24:68:65:63:25 Connected: no

==== if using sixad daemon ====

[pi@pes ~]$ sudo /opt/qtsixa/sbin/sixpair
Current Bluetooth master: b8:27:eb:5f:02:64
Setting master bd_addr to b8:27:eb:5f:02:64

It shows at dmesg:

This is the default behavior when you are using the incorrect sixad branch with those clones on other Linux Retro Gaming projects like RetroPie and Recalbox. There are specific branches at sixad repositories to those clones(shanwan and gasia). Is there a way to put separated binaries and daemons to those branches on PES, or automate the "ps3 controller type" change?

All the best :)

To improve ROM name matching, incorporate ROM meta data dumps from https://datomatic.no-intro.org. Could match games via md5sum.

When configuring PS3 control pads (and possibly others that have accelerometers), some of the axis get triggered. Therefore make the tolerance values stricter to prevent these events being triggered.

To address the situation where the PES GUI over spills the display area which has been seen when using CEA mode on TVs, add a screen edge set-up screen to PES when the user first uses it. Also allow the user to run the screen edge set-up from the settings menu.

By querying http://retroachievements.org/dorequest.php?r=getfriendlist with a valid login token it is possible to get the friend list for a user. Consider adding this info into PES 3.0.

PES' gamecontrollerdb is currently not used by PPSSPP, instead PPSPP uses its own copy of the gamecontrollerdb.

Therefore, this needs to be changed.

Add support for multiple languages using Python's gettext module.

Add .pbp extension support for PlayStation ROMs - need to add to consoles.ini.

thegamesdb.net recently changed the URL for their API to legacy.thegamesdb.net

Need to updated PES to use these new URLs.

At some point RetroAchievements.org have changed the the hashing algorithm for NES and SNES ROMs. Update rasum to use this new algorithm.

As requested by Alex Silva, add support for hardcore RetroAchievements tracking to PES.

As requested by @mfwhite, add Dreamcast support to PES.

Add the ability to select a timezone from the GUI.
