No, it's not related to the build, it happens with vanilla retropie and vanilla raspberry os too.
One ugly workaround I found is copying the files to a fat32 system and back to ntfs on my Windows PC before copying them over via Samba.
The intermediary fat32 step gets rid of any permission issue they have.

@zodiark12 that's right. the retroarch menu could definitely be more intuitive in this regard but yes there's unobvious demarcation between options for the emulator core itself, and those of wider retroarch.

@clemsonteg It's been some time, but I found this post while trying to figure out how to hide the bootloader myself. For reference, I found the answer at RaspberryPi.org and set my DISABLE_HDMI=1 in order to prevent the display.

Noted in the URL above, this has only been an issue since the 2020-09-03 release of RPi OS as the behavior was changed to disregard the disable_splash flag. Hopefully this helps you out!

@ryan said in Hello New here please help:

I am making an arcade with a IPAC2. How can I set up a two-player system once I'm on retropie? Thanks.

@danmac2 said in No Dialogue or Music in PSX ROMS (pcsx-rearmed):

@dankcushions I have every BIOS you can think of in the bios folder

ok, and the verbose log?

@scoularis please provide a verbose log of the issue, and the override .cfgs involved.

@wsamael I had problems with the SSD in the Nespi 4 but slightly different, I assume though because I use Attract Mode not Emulationstation. Maybe it is the same problem though. Games showed up ok for me, but the romlist is on the SD card so it should. Scrolling through it, so loading media, would be slow then freeze for a decent time before coming back. I followed the guide below and it fixed it for me, maybe it might fix your issue too?

@mitu Listen before you told me that and I cliked on that there was no edit option, now there is and it is doing absolutely nothing. If you want to delete my entire post go for it. I'll find help elsewhere. Thanks

@mitu So sorry for the delay...busy week and didn't have much time to play. Just tried my ps3 controller and yep, you're right it's simply the controller itself.

EmulationStation will use the gamelist.xml ROMs folder, if found, otherwise it looks in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/<system>. The 2 files are not combined, just one of them is used, in that order.

If you enabled the 'Use Local Art' option in EmulationStation's settings, it will try find a video matching the game by looking under roms/<system>/media/<ROM_NAME>-video.mp4, so even if there's no video declared in gamelist.xml, it might still find a video associated with it.

In fact, what would be the best way to ensure that I get both videos and correct information into my setup?

Don't mix the scrapers if you want video - the internal scraper doesn't support videos so it might overwrite the video tags if you re-scrape with it. Use the external scraper and see which videos have issues - some arcade videos are incompatible with RPI's hardware video codecs and might not play correctly.

@jan_l sorry, 3rd-party-images are not supported here in this forum.
You could ask Wolfanoz for support or install the official image from this site to get help.

@clyde said in Scraper fails on PS1 .chd files where it succeeded with .cue+.bin:

I'm using RetroPie's chdman and Skyscraper with my PS1 and Mega/Sega CD games, and I have only one game that can't be scraped in either cue or chd form (Kyuutenkai: Fantastic Pinball).

Thanks for this, it finally forced me to figure out SkyScraper. OMG the SkyScraper output looks so much better than the default scraper, and it handled the CHDs like a champ.

@mitu It worked, thank you!

@rtarroyo BTW

The internal switch is turned on to safe shutdown and im running the latest version of Retropie, installed it today

@mitu

Looks like the Nvidia driver I had installed was the culprit. I removed it and used the Nouveau one and Emulationstation now starts but launching games fails. I am troubleshooting further.
