Oi. Hiding in plain sight. How embarrassing.

I updated it! At the end, there were about 8 or so notifications that specific things couldn't update. If my saves still delete themselves, I'll be back! Thanks for the help thus far.

Wiped the Install for a fresh 22.04 LTS. Following the docs very closely but will add the __platform var this time to the initial retropie-setup command.

@Lolonois said in Emulationstation Shutdown Script Issue:

In ES there is a menuitem Save Metadata, set it to Always. Then you should be able to hard kill ES via shutdown/reboot without losing changes to gamelists / favorites / collections.

BAM!!!

That worked!

Thank you! Not sure how I never noticed that option before! Almost seems like “always” should be the default.

You noted you have a official Rpi power supply. Is it rated 3A or 5A?
--> https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#maximum-power-output

If it is a 5A power supply, underpowering is out of the mix.

Then, run lsusb and note the USB ids of the Kingston USB device. The USB ID looks like this format 174c:1153, which is VendorId:ProductId.

It is a wild guess from the distance, but I assume it might be a faulty implementation of the USB power suspend (of the device).

To work around this inhibit power suspend for the Kingston device (power/control=on) [1]

To testdrive if it solves your issue:

sudo su echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

However, this will not survive a reboot.

To persist it:
Put a udev rule below /etc/udev/rules.d/, e.g. 99-kingston-power-control with the content (unverified):

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="174c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1153", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="on"

Read: Whenever a usb device is added which has the vendor and product id and has the attribute of power/control to set it to on.
Replace the values for idVendor and idProduct with the values from the Kingston.
You can find a little context for example here [2] and the udev spec here [3].

Restart the udev system sudo udevadm control --reload

HTH

@dcaputi Please more Info, as requested by this sticky.

But (now my 2ct. commentary first) as you are using lr-mame, hey - you just encountered one of the cores/situations where the arguments from NonMAME against retroarch are at least in so far valid, that non expert users aren't aware of the culprits hazzards/pitfalls they may encounter.

for mame (and lr-mame is still mame) the keyboard is the keyboard and the libretro RetroPad concept (overlayed on/utilizing the KBD) is conflicting with it! Not sure what lr-mame you are using, but within the retroarch config for it you may find an option to have it to accept retropad or keyboard only. Not sure how to explain it properly, but if you search this forum for configuring (lr-)mame in conjunction with keyboard encoders like the I-PAC (2/4), you will find your solution.

@mitu ordered new control boards, everything is operational now. thanks for your input.

@Nash, thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't aware of that feature.

@RapidEdwin08 said in GameCube/Wii Error: Mario Part 5:

@Nash I took the liberty of updating the install script you posted to workaround the Font and PNG Errors previously mentioned, as well as a few other changes...
Can now run dophin-rpi without those errors at startup.
Thanks again for sharing as I was not aware of this fork.

dolphin-rpi.sh
/dolphin-rpi/01_font_alerts.diff

Thank you for the improvements to the script. I never got around to fixing the missing .png error.

I appreciate you adding this to your RetroPie-Extras repo. This will give dolphin-rpi a lot more visibility.

Just to summarize all of the improvements to date that I have either identified or that have been brought to my attention that dolphin-rpi offers over current dolphin-emu builds:

Mario Kart Double Dash - corrects blue tint
Resident Evil 4 - corrects white textures
Mario Golf Toadstool Tour - corrects invisible golfers
Metroid Prime - corrects invisible map screen (probably also applies to Metroid Prime 2, but I haven't verified yet)
Zelda Twilight Princess (Gamecube version) - corrects blacked out map in corner of screen
Bomberman Generations - corrects black menus (reported by retropieuser555)
Sonic Adventure DX - not clear what the issue that it fixes (reported by retropieuser555)
The Last Story (Wii) - speedhack implemented to allow improved performance.

@mitu Thanks,

It was mesa 24.2.8. I downgraded with your script and my wine games run fine again in fullscreen.

It also resolve black screen issue in lr-flycast/lf-flycast-dev on pi5.

I removed Moonlight-qt and controls are back to normal

Try to rename the retropiemenu folder .

path of the folder: /home/pi/RetroPIe

@retropieuser555 and yes i confirm disc index does not display/is empty

@vortix2950 said in Steamlink can't connect to remote PC:

i dont know what to do. if there is anything you need me to provide, let me know. Thank you so much.

Please add the rest of the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Are you running RetroPie or just regular RaspiOS ?

@mitu OK. My RPi doesn't have Wifi, the display works. Maybe someone else will have an idea..
Thanks for your help, best regards.
