I managed to get the Hires setting running smoothly by using the following (moderate) overclocking settings in /boot/config.txt:

arm_freq=1300
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=2

The framerate needs to be set to 30 fps though. With the framerate set to 60 fps the sound will still stutter. The Pi 3 manages to achieve ~50fps according to the optional fps-display.

Regarding the joypad "up and down issue" in the menus, I am also interested in a solution.
I have an XBOX 360 controller and I am using the left analogue joystick in "wheel mode" using the following setting:

<analog enabled="2"> <!-- Select axis for analog controls You can place the accelerator and the brake on the same axis if your controller has a split axis setup. For an XBox 360 Controller, the wheel should be axis 0 and the pedals on axis 2. --> <axis> <wheel>0</wheel> <accel>2</accel> <brake>2</brake> </axis>

Usually, this is set to "0", which means that the analogue stick of my joypad would work as a digital one. The "2" setting allows much better steering control in my view.
However, setting <analog enabled="2"> also means that the left joystick is deactivated for the menus. With a setting of "0", the analogue stick would kind of work, but sometimes I am e.g. unable to move down in the menus. So I am using my keyboard instead. I really need to find a way to configure the D-PAD up and down buttons for the game menu...

This solution corrected the drift problems I was experiencing with my Xbox360 controller as well. Has anyone since come up with a workaround to address the resulting joystick menu deactivation (aside from using a keyboard)?

I'd be interested in a solution as well.
At the very least it would be great to map ESC to the joystick in order to quit the game without navigating the menu with analogue on.

nto the

Awesome again dudes thankyou very much

@sleve_mcdichael I'm using a fork of retropie that doesn't allow this, well it allows it it just defaults every settings changed on reboot, so I need to do this via the hardware

@mitu Thanks, updating the script and reinstalling helped.

Please add more details about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

After starting mame I pressed the TAB key and this menu opens, clicking on "dip switches" I have the possibility to change monitors 1/2, but I tried and selecting "monior 1, then the emulator always restarts with two screens

Well, then I'm afraid I can't help you. I know nothing about MAME64UI on pc. I play the game using FBNeo on a Raspberry Pi 3 and the monitor setting does pertain in that.

I do believe there's an FBNeo version for Windows, but I also don't know anything specific about that.

@maschine Replying to an old message here, mainly in case others are looking for the same.

If you want to fully disable the power button, then check the manual for this case. It describes a hardware jumper that can be set to fully disable the power button. Power will always flow to the RPi4B board.

By setting the jumper to pin 2-3, the device will be in always on mode.

@alikatado88 i had a similar effect with a bad HDMI-Cable.
Is the one you use with your 55" the same one that you used with the PC-Monitor?

@YFZdude You are right that the N64 was released before the Dreamcast.
But the development of the FF-Function in Input-Devices was initiated by SEGA for the Saturn, but came later with the dreamcast.
Nintendo was the first to bring it to the market after copying the idea (similar to the development of the mouse-controlled interface, which was seen by Bill Gates & Steve Jobs at their neighbour XEROX in Silicon Vally back in the 70s :D)

You can use the scripting support in EmulationStation to run a script when a game starts/stops. See here. You can call your display script when the game starts, then another one that clears the screen when it stops.

[...] The background music fails to play in both enabled and disabled modes - and this message is displayed in the top corner of my screen:

Nov 23 10:21:35 lv10: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to attach to default card!

Out of the box, RetroPie doesn't have any background music functionality, is this a 3rd party script that's running ?

.. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be hugely grateful.

Are you using a 3rd party image or the RetroPie image from https://retropie.org.uk/download ? The official RetroPIe image doesn't have this issue and we don't support 3rd party images here in the forums.

Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to be able diagnose this further.

@dmmarti : Thank you for the hint, that was part of the solution that worked for me.

I did notice, that settings are not permanent and was in luck to find the entry „Update Input Remap File“ in the table „MANAGE REMAP FILES“.

@Floob : Thank you for the link to the documentation and mentioning necessary input_libretro_device_p3 settings.

In another libretro discussion I also found settings for _p1:

Input_libretro_device_p3 = „259“

Now I can also use my xbox controller.
For the „259“ setting, I couldn‘t find an explanation in the documentation. But now it works and I slowly start to understand what‘s necessary, to get other games running.

@ all : Many thanks for your instant support and helpful input!

@GameCodingNinja if you installed retroscraper.sh as I've shown, you should see a menu under retropie setup, optional packages, near the bottom, retrosctaper. Go to the configure option and it should be very easy to use.

@mitu thank you very much once again!
I updated RA yesterday, but will do again.
Strange that this .info-file gets corrupt sometimes and by far more often it has to be ok (Ratio Games load: Games do not = 8:2).

Thank you sir!

FYI: RetroArch has been updated once more to 1.13.0 (visible in changelog, not on the homepage)

@lostless Yep, the wireless router, PS5, pi, Nintendo Switch and smart TV are all within a couple meters of each other in the living room. Like I said, I didn't experience any issues using the pi upstairs. Thanks for your help here, I never would have considered that to be the issue.

I might just have to go wired when using the pi in the living room as I don't have an option to move the wireless router.

Thanks you I'll give that a try.

Just started working not sure why? Maybe just needed a good reset.
