@G30FF I also hated the D pad. Constantly got random down and right moves. Then I saw this YouTube video about swapping out the D pad with a Gameboy D pad from Handheld Legends. It works! D pad control much improved. However, this video is for the original GPi case, not the 2. I had to slightly lift up the battery pack to get to the screws on the circuit board. You don’t have to completely remove it, but just be careful to not pierce the battery cover! But the mod was definitely worth the effort. FYI: The video mentions a ribbon cable, but it does not exist on the GPi2.

@raspberrycoulis i think almost every game exhibits some kind of visual bug with the speed hack on, hence the note in: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#video-double-internal-resolution - actually even without the speedhack some games can break with double resolution (doom is an example)

a blacklist for the games that are unplayable with it on is not a bad idea - could be implemented in a similar way to mupen64plus.sh

@rasp_renegade said in Good themes for vertical arcade cabinet:

I think I saw these but there is nothing to download just a bunch of links with flat files . ??? How do I download them and how would I add to ES?

@rasp_renegade looks like these aren't in the theme installer, so you'll have to clone them manually off the GitHub. Plug in a keyboard and press F4 to exit EmulationStation, or remote in from your favorite SSH client (I use the Termius app on my phone, or just type ssh pi@retropie.local in the search bar on my Win10 PC to use its built-in client. Connect as user "pi" to server "retropie.local", and the password is "raspberry" if you haven't changed it yet. You'll be presented with a security certificate the first time you connect to/from a particular pair, go ahead and accept this so you may continue.)

Either way, you should now be at a command prompt now that looks like:

pi@retropie:~ $

Use the following commands to create and navigate to the themes directory and clone the GitHub repository there, using the first one as an example:

mkdir -p ~/.emulationstation/themes cd ~/.emulationstation/themes git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/losernator/es-theme-ssimple-ve ssimple-ve

Adding the second "ssimple-ve" at the end clones it into that directory instead of one called after the repo with "es-theme-" in front. You can call it something else, if you want. Whatever you write after the repo URL will be the directory it's cloned into and that will be the name that's used in EmulationStation.

After it downloads, just type exit to either leave the terminal and return to ES, or to terminate the SSH session (or you can just close the app/window). You should now be able to select the theme ssimple-ve in ES's options menu (I can't remember, you might need to restart it first, if you were remoted in.)

@mitu thanks for the info :).. I'll back up my image and give it a try.. Last time I updated retro arch it broke wiimote support completly and it was yourself that kindly showed me how to down grade back 😂

@tuxforce can you try this link dualsense i compiled with this kernel linux-headers-5.10.103-v7l+ this version is in Retropie 4.8

cheers

sorry my bad english ! x').

@Eldrethor
After trying to get retropie set up on my raspberry pi 4
i think i got a hang of the gamepad configuring, I just tap the buttons and bump the joysticks. i got a wire BYEBUG controller which i never heard of and a wire Powera controller and all work. But i think i get clever by getting bluetooth, less wire hassle

@Addison
Well I have no doubt it will at some point remove the labels. I just wasn't sure how much plastic it would take with it and didn't want to go too far. I was concerned that i was about to create a divot in the panel.

If you are brave and want to give it a try I would just advise going slowly.

@windg said in AetherSX2 - PS2 (Not for the Linux/Retropie):

I try it on the Desktop (Bullseye 64bit) and when i try to run a game i have this error:

From the linked page:

Please note if you want to use a Raspberry Pi 4, you'll need to switch to the Vulkan renderer, as the Pi's GL driver does not support GLES3.2, which we require.

Thanks! This is what i miss. I install Vulkan driver but i didn't switch the renderer.

@dodonpachi said in [Pi 4] Cave CV1000 Performance Thread:

Dink updated fbneo a few days ago with more speed hacks for CV1000. Testing SDOJ doesn't reveal much of a difference for me so far, but it's always appreciated nonetheless! Figured you gents would like the update.

For SDOJ (and the Knuckles hack) the sweet spot for me on an overclocked Pi4B is to set the CPU clock to around 50%. The red character's bomb is otherwise always going to be a problem with framerate. Was able to use a different character and play through the entire first level without any significant framerate hit.

I think it's a small miracle these Cave games are running so well -- a testament to the hard work of the fbneo crew.

@AXEL it is such a nice way to play the games as i recall back than, the feel of playing sonic or jurassic park on genesis but nes and snes psx, n64 just can go on, its just home sweet home, thanks for choosing retropie, buzz and the team do such amazing work, i been using retropie for a long time and i wouldnt go any where else glad you enjoy it and it does feel like the gaming on the original thing 😀🤘
