haha, you would be suprised, as a kid we enjoyed listening to the music and loking at the splash screen while it loaded, I loaded one game up the other day, and the splash screen actually brought back vivid memories that I had fully forgotten up till that point.

@insidious611 also remember any time you set it up changing the 8-bitdo hack option and sync, you need to re setup your controller in emulationstation so it correctly installs all the controller configs.

I was asking if this ever got resolved, I then stated what I did on 2 different occasions that resulted in NO WIFI on PiZeroW which falls in line with this thread, I don't see what I did wrong in asking if this got fixed.... But I will post a new thread, thanks

@djjujuvi Please click "Docs" above and do a little reading. Trust me--this will help you as much as it helps us. The Pi is a teaching/learning/educational device and we all use slightly different configurations, not to mention, we all have a different idea about what systems we want to run. The more you read the documentation, the easier it will be to provide information, find answers, and ask meaningful questions.

@mitu

Thank you! Your advice was golden! Working with Qtcreator is so much better.

Lr-snes9x is more accurate and uses more resources than lr-snes9x2010. The pi may not be able to keep up with a more accurate emulator. The popping is just the emulation pausing for a split second waiting for the cpu to keep up. To our ears is sounds like a crackle. So even if it’s delaying a frame or 2 which may not be notable to our eyes, our ears can hear the delay. Stay with snes9x2010 as it runs most games fine.

Ahh bummer. Hopefully it finds its way back at some point. Thanks!

i have the same problem with last retropie, copying movies in kodi

@darksavior I understand that, but there is no environment running to support a window in the first place, so the setting is meaningless. Either way, it is still filling the screen. The way I read the description was that it looks stretched.

it's working after reinstallation retropie.

@spud11

Best advice here is to make your troubleshooting as simple as possible. I would recommend "sudo cp autostart.sh autostart.sh.original, and the same with the "onstart" and "onend" files - that way you can climb back down the tree if you get into trouble.

Next, clear out those files and populate them per the instructions; there's just not a chance of it not working then. I'll attach my working ones to this post and you can just drop them in for a test if it will help.

@dcm91 I really don't know where the gamelist.xml will be placed because I have no idea how this image is set up. These files can go in 2 places, within each system ROM folder or in /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/systemname. Or at least that's where they go in the standard image. They could be absolutely anywhere on a custom image. You'll just have to try it and see.

Thank you @maxbeanz
Unfortunately I do not want to use keyboards and mice in my living room. I cannot also load it on my real 128+ because I got no drive and I do not want to flash my DivIDE to EXSDOS.

So I have to stick with lr_fuse and play the game in my PC using Spectaculator :(

@joemommasfat the wavebeam palette has been updated on Oct. 1: https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=1278210&sid=2c1592ad8deb319edb55e150df8730b2#p1278210

i don't really have time at the moment to get the color codes, and the way i did it last time was very tedious. if you're still around and willing to do another pull request for fceumm, that would be much appreciated. ifnot, i will most likely have time to put it together this coming weekend.

@tropez I have ghost inputs from time to time. But mine are a little more tame, a random scroll to the right or left. If I power down and back on, that usually does the trick.

@raelik I just bought an Odroid UX4 and installed Retropie. As soon as Emulation station loads I can see the same ALSA lib underrun error. Any clues about what could be causing this?

@dreadknot719 said in Need Help Getting Started!:

His response made me feel comfortable.

Of course it did, because he's a scam artist charging you lord-knows-what for something illegal (https://retropie.org.uk/about/legal/) that you could get for $35. But I digress... And it seems like you already know you messed up (or at least, you should...)

When you are in a game, the usual hotkey to get back to the emulation station main menu (where you select your systems) is to press start and select at the same time. Once you are in the menu, you can press select and pick the option "configure input" to configure your controllers. Just hold a button on the controller so the system recognizes it, then follow the prompts on screen. Also in the main menu there should be an icon that says retropie. Click that and you can configure the wifi. You will need a USB keyboard to enter your WiFi password.

Also make sure you are shutting the system down properly... In the main menu press start then go to quit then shutdown system. Only after it goes through its shutdown sequence should you unplug it.

My recommendation is to get a new SD card and start from scratch and configure it how you want. Keep the SD that sca- er, friendly eBay seller, made for you so at least you don't lose what you have. But like everyone has already said, it's impossible to know how he set it up so everything I told you might very well not work because it could be set up differently.

Just follow everything here: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation

To learn how to do anything else like setting up Kodi or installing new games, just Google it. There's resources everywhere.

Some of the option menus can be intimidating because they look like old MS-DOS commands but don't worry, it's really easy. Plus if you get a new SD you don't have to worry about messing anything up.
