@exarkuniv , sounds good…thanks.

@yarongo said in Pi3B, Xbox Wireless Controller not connecting:

A few questions to @mitu :

Should I uninstall xpad driver first?

No, it's not needed.

Should I install xpadneo directly from Github and not via the menu?

You can try, but the menu installation pulls the latest release tag from the xpadneo Github repository anyway, so I don't think it will make a difference.

@sleve_mcdichael should be fixed now, thanks again for reporting.

@mtlhd1011 said in Psx emulator controls not working:

@dankcushions I can understand that. Maybe a link to the bios section after mentioning it briefly in the first installation section would be helpful I think, kind of like it does with the roms. I didn't realize the bios were proprietary as well, so mentioning that somewhere would help first timers like me understand that better too I think. Thanks for the info, I saw the location section but thought maybe it was something that has to be installed as a program (thinking computer bios) vs. a file drop. I'll see if I can find it and get it going.

I also have an additional question related to my new install. I have one of those nespi+ cases with the fan on it. I was reading their scripts don't work right anymore with the new version of RetroPie. Is that true? I saw someone made a work around with some generic code, but I don't understand it fully.

Update on this, I copied over the bios for each of the emulators that were on my machine previously. Once I did that it broke my PSX emulator again. What I found was that there were a few bios on there that were not supported by the version of the rearmed emulator it currently uses. So I think it picked a bad bios which broke functionality. Once I pulled those unsupported bios from the folder, it functions normally once again. This must've been what happened when I updated my system previously. I also see commodore 64 is broken currently too, probably the same thing there I'll need to dig into. I did manage to get the nespi-case script installed also, I will monitor it to see if that portion has issues.

@dankcushions As it turns out, it was looking for a specific file from a secondary Shock Troopers ROM. Not much to say beyond, "I didn't do my due diligence." The filename in the verbose log was so similar to one already in the ROM that I didn't realize it was actually missing. Also new to me is a Neo Geo game requiring a secondary file. I've dealt with parent and clone ROMs in the past, and even have experience with CHD's and secondary files with CP System III stuff, but this was a new one for me.

I appreciate the confirmation that I had it wrong. Between that and Googling the crc I was able to find the missing file and get this running.

Not sure which version of RetroPie are you using (version 4.4 is too old to support the PI4), but out of the box I think HDMI sound should work using the 4.7.1 image.

Make sure that in the Audio settings in the RetroPie system you choose HDMI as output, then in ES the settings should be:
AUDIO CARD: Default
AUDIO DEVICE: HDMI

For OMX audio output, just use ALSA and it should work.

@bic said in Emulation Station Crashed!:

I'm running a raspberry pi 3b+ with retropie version 4.5.1 along with canakit power supply and image that I put together from a bunch of other images.

Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download, we don't provide support for 3rd party images.

@scabab1359-0 When I first got my Pi, this community helped me learn the basics of RetroPie, Emulationstation and Linux within ONE week, yet somehow you have unsuccessfully been looking for a solution for six months?

You're clearly unwilling to put in the legwork to educate yourself and just want a hand-out without lifting a finger. That's not how it works around here.

@jimmyfromthebay said in Is there any way to use two joysticks for Wonderswan?:

Not sure what you mean by that. There's no such option that I can find under Controls (I have Show Advanced Options set to On).

You need to update RetroArch, this option is only a few months old, see https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-9-6-released/

Ah, thanks. I'm absolutely terrified to update core features like Retroarch in case they've done something moronic that requires the manual alteration of literally thousands of CFG files, like that time they added a new video aspect ratio which renumbered all the other ones :(

"I just had to keep moving it around till I got it right. Once I got it right, I locked in the numbers in the config file."

@jamrom2 Do you mean for Video Pinball? If so, what are your config-file numbers?

@matchaman said in Request: FinalBurn Neo 1.0.0.2 (stable) core:

But in a more general sense, what if for example current "emulator X" breaks support for "game X"?

The issue should be reported to the author so that he can fix it, in the case of FBNeo the fix will usually be available within a day. We can't fix issues we don't know about.

Do previous revision binaries get archived in some repository

No, if you want an older version, you would need to build your own binary using command line, or to find a backup.

@iandaemon My current cab is also of the custom variety. A bartop on a pedestal that I could squeeze in a corner, but nowhere near a full size machine.

@dankcushions said in RE2 n64 problem on Rp4:

does android matter? it’s the same emulators and plugins

As we saw at the video above, there are re2 run without graphical issues...

There are stand-alone version of mupen for retropie (not a core)?
Where?

Thanks! Seems like the latest duckstation update finally fixes ape escape crashing.

@denyou I just got this working with @sleve_mcdichael's help on reddit. See if there's anything in that thread that helps or drop back in and I'll try to walk you through it here. It works like a charm and is a really great feature.

@sleve_mcdichael
Thanks! I copied the RetroPie/retropiemenu into the HD at retropie-mount. now it works!

@mitu tried changing out the wires and that didn't work, so I guess I'll have to get a replacment button
