@dankcushions said in RetroArch Mirror Mode:

is an ES issue? presumably once you've loaded the game, it's now a game issue. there doesn't seem much point in fixing it in ES if there's no a solution for the games as well. never mind if you load the command prompt/retropie-setup menu...

With HDMI, you can flip the screen horizontally (and I think vertically), to give an image of everything that will look the right-way around when viewed in a mirror.

With component/SCART output suitable for a CRT TV, you can use a RetroArch shader to get the image flipped and rotated so it works perfectly in a mirror too (see this forum post). This is good, but obviously, all the menus, the screensaver (easier to fix) and general RetroPie/ES menus are the wrong way around. It would be very nice to find a fix for that last piece of the puzzle.

I don't understand how they eve manage to sell these. The images are easy enough to find for anyone who would want one. I can't even offload some surplus Pi 3 Model B's @ £15 a piece.

@Impman66 how you set up your speedlink controller? I have SL-6566-BK xeox pro analog gamepad-wireless-black, retropie detected it but when i press&hold A to set up nothing happened.. please help

@Halvhjearne it needs a window in order to configure the mappings.

You can use CLRMAME pro and dat files.

It's free.

Try Doom Legacy. Maybe you'll find it more similar to vanilla Doom 2.

And if you like it, then you'll have some nice new features, such as two-player splitscreen support, deathmatch with bots, skins, etc. Not as advanced as Zdoom / Zandronum, but at least it's a plus, when compared to other source ports.

Emulationstation is just a front-end, it doesn't run games - it merely starts the configured emulator with some arguments. If you're looking to start RetroArch right away with your ROM, then replace the %ROM_RAW% with the full path to the ROM file.

There isn't any such software, I guess you just choose to ignore the advices in the other topic telling you to follow the Arcade quick start and not try to 'find the emulator for the ROM'.
The only software that can decide if the ROMset is valid for an emulator is a something like CLRMamePro or RomCenter - or some other ROM audit tool.

@AndersHP check out Mounty. I use it for the Mac a lot of time and seems to work really well. https://mounty.app/ hope this will help you!

@jodiefoster The point is that neither you nor we know what exactly was changed under the hood which may be the source of problems you won't have with the official image. Only the person who made this custom build knows that, so you should ask them or use the official build.

@meleu , what do you think? Would it be possible to add something like that to your script?

@seagal By the way, if you're using ScreenScraper intensively, a donation or even monthly subscription via Patreon or Tipee.com would be an appropriate acknowledgement of their work and also help to cover their expenses running the website.

(This is just my personal opinion, I'm not affiliated to ScreenScraper in any way aside from a normal user account.)

I am just curious but what is the progress right now with RetroPie for the Pi 4 at the moment and sorry for asking just waiting for a build of it first before i would buy the Pi 4 and do you guys think the 2gb model would be more than enough as well?

There's no ETA as far as a release or updates beyond the github that have been provided. I doubt you will get a different answer from the Retropie team. You can follow the github: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/2749

Most people view 2 GB as more than enough to run emulators and emulationstation proper. I personally jumped for the 4 GB as to be ahead of any changes.

Oh ok well i wanted to buy the 4gb model but here in Canada it is a little much plus for certain arcades games i want to try out in my mind i tend to think 2gb would be enough because the first game i want to test out for sure is Killer instinct 1 and 2.
