That's a good suggestion. I added some notes on persistent device paths.

I have installed RetroPie on Ubuntu 19.10 Eoarn Ermine, but I have had a lot of problems with installing some packages.

Post an installation log somewhere so we can take a look.
We didn't have this kind of issues reported lately and I don't think this is a general issue, but maybe something in particular with your setup. RetroPie-Setup tries to automatically install any dependencies, so there's must be something wrong with these packages being installed.

For instance, libsd2-dev, libasound2-dev and libasound2 are available in both 19.10 and Focal (20.04):

https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/libasound2-dev and https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libasound2-dev https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/libasound2 https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libasound2 https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/libsdl2-dev and https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libsdl2-dev

@bombshelboy I have an rPi 4, and it works just fine. You just have to install it yourself.

Hello all, a quick PSA :)

The lr-mupen64plus-next core got updated some days ago and now is defaulting to 640x480 resolution for new installs. This resolution is a bit taxing for humble devices such as the RPI3 or less, so is strongly recommended that you set the rendering resolution to 320x240 (as it was previously the default) for these devices. Perhaps this is not necessary for RPI4, you have to see for yourself.

This can be done after starting any game and going to the core options menu in RetroArch.

It is important to note that this is not a RetroPie change, but an upstream change. We decided to not change the upstream defaults therefore it is your responsability to change this setting for your own setup.

If you had the core previously installed, the new defaults will not apply because you already have the previous resolution set in your core options.

Does Discord has an application that can be run on a Raspberry PI ? Their clients include mac/windows/linux (x86) or android, but I don't see anything for a system with ARM CPU.

As far as I know, RetroArch on PC/Mac/Linux has the possibility to interact with Discord, but in the end it needs to be properly integrated into RetroPie.

What are you thinking when you say 'integrating' ?
If it's already included in RetroArch, the you can configure it and you're good to go.

I know this topic is quite old but I have been unable to find any new relevant info in my fairly extensive searching. Has an OSK been implemented in anyway, addon, optional package, etc?

I want to create this OSK feature if nobody else has. My reasoning is not for wifi passwords as much as for actual emulator ease of use. For example, in the TI99/4A emulator you only need a keyboard to press "2" to start the game. After that it can be all joystick. A simple OSK would help with that and some other emulators.

If I decide to jump into this where would one start, EmulationStation, RetroArch, or individual emulator cores?

I picture this OSK being pulled up with the joypad hotkey anywhere in the middle of an emulation session.

I program but have never looked at the project's code. This task doesn't seem daunting on the surface..but I could be wrong. Any help appreciated in where to start. Thank you.

@ItsMuffinTime The wiki is editable by anyone and it's a collaboration effort. For the scriptmodule, we'll see how/when it will be fixed.

@rossco said in Update wiki network share:

Note: I have the vers=1.0 flag set because my network share requires SMBv1 - which I guess could be included in the documentation as well I suppose.

SMB1 is deprecated and insecure - it should not be used anymore.

I totally second that.

@rossco if you edit the wiki please make it VERY clear that SMBv1 is highly discouraged and should only be used as last resort. Users should not believe that is normal to use SMBv1.

Cheers!

Did you have any ports package installed ? If you don't, that might be the reason the system doesn't appear (with your game).
Try installing one of the smaller ports - like lzdoom - this will create the folder and the necessary configuration to show up in EmulationStation.

Just a thought.....if

<textlist name="gamelist">

with

<scrollSound>./art/scroll.wav</scrollSound>

was added to the grid view, that would enable scrollSound whilst using the grid possibly? maybe that's a workaround?

You're welcome ;) I've been surprised to see how well lr-flycast run on the C1, games run very well !

Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
The reason for the crash is probably shown in the emulator log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) can you get the files's contents and post it ?

@mitu very true! 👍

@fluffypillow Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I knew about purpose of "./", "[ ]" is new to me though. Going to work on fixing the system logo sizes, other than that the rest of the theme seems to be as it should. Thanks again!

@lilbud basically it’ll just continue to boot then next part of the os without waiting for a WiFi signal and will connect when it’s ready in the background . Without it, It’ll wait either for an connection or just timeout and then continue to boot. No need to to have a solid WiFi connection on a retro pie setup. Where you would want it is if your project requires internet or WiFi to run your project so it has WiFi before the whole OS boots.

If the emulator itself doesn't implement bezels, then there's not much that can be done to externally overlay an image, since most emulators need exclusive/fullscreen access to the video output.

@onebitcpu Fantastic. That worked perfectly! Thanks for sharing.
