#gamecube #emulationstation

Ive gotten gamecube to show up in emulationstation, however I cannot get them to launch, running retropie 4.7.1

<system>
<name>Gamecube</name>
<fullname>gc</fullname>
<path>/home/bob/RetroPie/roms/gc</path>
<extension>.iso .ISO .nkit .NKIT</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/libretocores/lr-dolphin/runcommand.sh 0 SYS dolphin %ROM%</command>
<platform>gc</platform>
<theme>gc</theme>
</system>

I just saw this video recently, and I found out today that after 3 years, some themes are still somewhat incomplete.

Now unfortunately, the same guy deleted his old Excel Sheet for some reason, but I'd like to hear it directly from you. Are there consoles/custom things your theme doesn't support?

I could check it myself, but I want to hear it from you as well (and possibly solve each of these problems as soon as possible because it's all Open Source).

Hi
Is possible to run Open X-com on Retropie?
https://openxcom.org/

Hi All,

I am experiencing an issue with the display for my pi. Ill explain in more detail, but first here my setup:

Rpi4 8Gb in Argon One Case
Cant find the version number retropie, was installed in October so I think 4.6
X-Box USB Gamepad Controller
Main Emulators used MAME2003, NES, SNES, Colcovision
Video using HDMI1 output to my Sony KD-43XD TV

The issue is as follows:
everything was running just fine. I have an old arcade bartop cab in the basement which I am giving to a friend. The cab has everything installed, MINI-PAC encoder, 17" hdmi monitor, speakers etc., so to check that everything is working I
temporarily installed my Pi in the cab. Once I had checked everything I removed the Pi from the cab and connected it back up to the TV. Now I have the issue that the game window is on the left hand side of the screen and not central. THis is the same regardless of which emulator I am using.

I have checked through the documentation and searched the forums but cant quite find a solution which fits my issue. It must be a universal setting somewhere which effects all emulators, I have searched through all the settings for both retropie and retroarch but can find nothing relating to game window position on the screen.

I have not changed any video settings when testing the cab, the only thing I had to change was the audio output from dhmi to 3.5 jack so I dont know how this video issue could have been caused.

I would very much appreciate any tips for troubleshooting this issue. I would hate to have to install everything from scratch again.

Many thanks in advance,
Martin

Hi, I'm italian, excuse my english. I tried to configure fs-uae on Retopie on Linux PC. I would use roms .lha but fs-uae on retropie start by default with bios 1.3 (amiga 500) instead bios 3.1 (amiga 1200)

Can you hel me?

really thanks

Hi!,

I'm working on an idea to allow ES interaction with other programs in order to do all sorts of crazy stuff, I've made a small POC (https://github.com/zayamatias/EmulationStation Excuse my c++, first time doing something with that) that outputs the marquees filenames for either the system or the file selected un ES menu, emulation station runs within a Python program (not within, but rather as child of) and this scripts captures the output and then executes fim to display the images on the 2nd RPI4 HDMI.... Feel free to adopt this idea if you think it is worth it.

Thanks!

RPI4 - 2gb
Retropie 4.7
Retroarch 1.8.8
lr-mupen64plus-next & lr-pxsc-rearmed

So I encountered this yesterday, for certain emulators and games, N64 and PS1 specifically, certain achievements are listed as "unsupported" whereas ones next to them will be marked as "locked". The example I've got is Ocarina of Time. I tested this on Retroarch 1.8.9 on my mac with the same rom and the achievements are all listed as "unlocked". I also checked the Retroarchievements forum and it appears people had this error but and it was fixed by updating to Retroarch 1.8.9. https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=10666

It's odd as I can't find the issue on any other emulators and it's not every game either (Crash 2 for me has them listed fine, all "locked")

So my question is, has anyone else noticed this and if anyone has manually updated to Retroarch 1.8.9 or 1.9.0 is there any steps outlined for that. As the retroarchievements forum suggestion of updating Retroarch seems to solve this problem (although granted I imagine the reason we're not on them already is because they may have other bugs related to Retropie & pi hardware)

Edit: So I used @BuZz 's fork from github and I'm now on Retroarch 1.9.0 but it still has the same problem, so it might be something that's up with the retroarchievements

I had retropie 4.6.8 official image (or updated from an official image) installed in my arcade cabinet and everything worked fine. Decided to upgrade to 4.7.1 and now ES randomly freezes. Everything boots up normally, all the emulators work. I play for a while then exit to es and walk away. When I return the screen is frozen, inputs no longer work, f4 does not work on keyboard. However, networking is still fully working. I can access everything over network.

Assuming an issue with how I updated. I reflashed the sd card with my image from just before the update. Made sure there was no overclock set or any abnormal settings. Then I proceeded to update again, included the underlying kernal. Everything went smooth. Reboot the pi, everything loads fine, emulators play. Then I let it sit in es again. Same thing randomly freezing. I thought maybe it was the screensaver slideshow. So I switched it to just dim, still freezes. I turned off omx player, still freezes. I uninstalled es, and reinstalled it. Still freezing.

I decided to let it sit in mame playing an attract screen for awhile, and hasn't frozen. So this issue is with es somehow? I use detailed carbon theme with fade. No videos just images. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you.

The Bluetooth connection for my DS4 controller works really well but now I'm wondering if I could get Sound through the Controllers audio jack as well!?

Has anyone got that working? Ideally without any additional bluetooth software but I'd be really interested to hear if anyone is doing that any way?

Hardware: Pi 4 - 4gb
Power supply: CanaKit Power supply
RetroPie V.4.7.1
Built From: Pre made from RetroPie website pi4 image
USB: logitech keyboard
Controller: 8bitdo Arcade Stick - new model (https://www.8bitdo.com/arcade-stick/) Not the N30!

The RT and LT buttons on the arcade stick will not register as anything during configuration of the controller while paired in Bluetooth mode.

I managed to get them to work via USB cable after updating the xpad driver in RetroPie... But when connected via Bluetooth all the buttons can be mapped except LT and RT which don't register anything at all during configuration.

Any help with Bluetooth setup would be appreciated.

Again thank you all for your help so far, I know I am asking alot of questions!

Whilst waiting for my pi400 to come, one of the main systems I want to emulate is the amiga. Now I thought I had this figured out how it works, drop the Kik roms into a certain place and then the game roms (adf) into the amiga games folder and away we go.

However I have just watched this you tube video and it has confused me

So in this video he is saying that you should install amiberry and use .IHA roms.

What is the deffault Amiga emulator being used in retro pie? and if I don't install amiberry will it not work?

Should I be looking for ADF files or IHA files?

How's does ADF handle disk swapping? if a game comes on 2 ADF files for disk 1 and disk 2, do you have to do anything In the emulator when it wants to swap disks?

Sorry if this is basic questions but I really thought you just get ADF files and put them into Amiga folder.

Thanks for any help

Can you map the third (middle) mouse button in mame2003?

In a game like Missile Command for example, I can map the left and right bases to the left and right mouse button, but I'm trying to map the middle one to the middle mouse button and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

A while ago, I got a Pi with an SD card that was preloaded with noobs and RetroPie from Vilros. I've formatted the card multiple times since then and I am wondering where I can get the files that were inside the noobs 'os' folder.

I don't want the .img or the .img.xz/.gz files since they don't really help my problem

Re: Passing argument/parameter to emulator

Hi!

I followed the thread above and included the "--escape-exit" option to my emulators.cfg, but is still impossible for me to exit from the game with the "pause menu" button I configured. It only opens the menu, like before, but is not exittingfrom game. However, the ESC key of the keyboard is working like expected, exitting the game without showing the menu.

Somebody else tested this solution and can helpme? Maybe I missed something. Thanks!

Hi

I have just ordered the Pi400 complete kit, and it says it comes with a 16gb Micro SD Card pre-programmed with Raspberry Pi OS.

Would i be able to use this card to install retropie on? I only really want Retropie to run on this so is it just a case of putting SD card into a computer, deleting whats on there and then putting Retropie on as per instructions?

Or will i need the operating system thats on this SD card and should i get a new one?

Hi,

at the Moment i use my Player2 Button to Exit a Game.
Added this to emulators.cfg:
ppsspp = "/opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/PPSSPPSDL --escape-exit %ROM% "

works. but i can exit this with only one button. how can i change this? in best case, i exit
the games with HOTKEY + START

Hi,

I finally managed to set up my FBNEO the way I like it and I don't plan on adding any more games.
My FBNEO was installed from source and is currently at version 1.0.0.
What I would like to do is prevent it from updating when I run the Retropie update script.
Is there an easy way of doing it or does someone knows of a manual way to remove it from "auto update"?
I would still like to update rest of the emulators when a new update is available, it's just FBNEO that needs to stay at current version...

Thanks

Hello to everybody
I am trying to setup a retro gaming Ubuntu installation
Eveything was going "fine" except scraping..too many "skipped" but at least if i was to scrape manually a single game it would find it and get the "goodies"
This was a premade installation and i had to switch the region and after that - i think - i cannot scrape anything
I have tried both the other scraper but although some downloading is made the gamelist.xml is not updated...i had to manually edit an XML to "inject" the image path (small Python script)
So any ideas where to look on what is going on ?
