@LLD said in Radiant Silvergun on Pi 4:

Could @roslof provide specific advmame settings if that's the case ? Or could it be that advmame changed since the edition of the sheet and gives now poorer performance for that game ?

Well, I can say that as of now, I also cannot get the game to run with either 2x or 3x magnification.

This is a Sega Titan game. It doesn't run well with any system, but still runs best with AdvMame. I've never had great success with the audio either. Always sounds "tinny" on the Pi4 builds, and why I have it at the bottom of the "recommendations" totem pole.

@Grassini said in lr-puae2021 does not run whdload games (global conf file parsing error line 28):

I still have a question - does lr-puae 2021 support overlays? I'm asking because I have set it up and it is not displayed.

Should support it, this is a RetroArch feature - not core dependant.

@StonedEdge said in joy2key not working - Orange Pi 5 (Ubuntu Jammy 22.04):

Hmm, this might be why. I am having trouble installing RetroArch at the moment (didnt realise that was a dependency of joy2key).

It's not a direct dependency, but joy2key reads the RetroArch's configuration profile for the gamepad and the default configuration - if you have neither it will not work anyway.

At the moment when I try to install Retroarch from the setup script, I am encountering this log:

Can you post the complete log ?

In order to execute EmulationStation from terminal I need to use malirun which is basically X11 packaged blob drivers. Using Wayland drivers results in a crash: [...]

I have briefly tested Wayland on the OrangePi5 since my installation was nuked by an Armbian update. You should try to get a working system, which doesn't require this sort of fiddling with the drivers - have you tried https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip ?

@duglor you are probably right about the nvram being the issue, as for whether making it read only will help or not, i don't know.

Thank you very much, that did the trick !

@mitu yes, i found it. thanks.

RetroPie 4.2 was released in 2017, so even in 2021 you were using an out-of-date version. My advice is to install from scratch using the current release and transfer your ROM/BIOS folders over to the new installation.

@vmkamhi 3rd party images aren't supported here. Nobody knows what the configurations are and how to solve so called problematic 3rd party images. You should start from scratch with the official Retropie image and transfer over all the games from your current card to the new fresh image.

@sleve_mcdichael

This was the f-up, yes. As said, I'm fairly new to this platform, and I deleted the .cfg based on a post I found online and it let me reconfigure the controller, so I assumed this was the entirety.

Works perfectly now, thanks a ton for the help!

@retropieuser555 @LLD correct in that audio cannot easily be addressed. I added the note about ScreenUpdateSetting = 7 in the sheet. Note there is also a comment in there for Perfect Dark from @George-Spiggott

Could also try Next/640x360 16:9 with MSAA Level 2 (recommended by @George-Spiggott RetroPie forums)

Forgive that my pi is offline (building lr-mess) at the moment, but I recall Perfect Dark could not be perfectly emulated with any system and there were some sacrifices with any proposed solution.

@basarb Please generate a verbose log, which will show more information about what's going on than that brief one does, then upload its contents to pastebin.com and share that link here.

@mitu This makes even more sense especially, considering that SNES and PS1 where the problems for me. Hopefully this discovery can help further improve the next iteration of RetroPie.

@saku00 RetroPie have the 2.7.0

@Gabbo999 you can install the desktop environment packages from the server install. Eg. Installing the ubuntu-desktop/xubuntu-desktop package (or another of your choice)

@tslayer71 What's the brand of your 1TB sd card?
It is very possible that it is a fake one and the true size is smaller...

Test the card for its true size, using one of the methods listed here:

@windg thank you so much
