Ok it looks like I have figured it out. Apparently I needed to edit the retroarch.cfg file that was in the arcade folder instead of the mame-libretro. Once I properly set the hotkey and the menu toggle buttons, I was able to bring up the RGUI menu and then consequently configure the rest of my controls. Thank you everyone and hopefully this will help someone else down the road. Mark as solved!

I think you're 100% on the right track with the evdev-no-grab, but while I was getting the controller configured correctly in the system, I did something that just deactivated the spinner completely.

I'm going to crash for the night, but will continue to bash my head against this tomorrow. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Okay so I got Digimon World working, but now the sound is about 98% non existent. Every now and then I'll here a Digimon make a sound or the text box chimes but mainly it's just silence.

@mitu thank you that explains it! i probaly change it back to pcm i was messing around with the audio TRYING to fix this awful snes stutter, lag in the audio in my snes games.... still no luck at all

Another idea would be romhacks

@mitu I'm building a 2p arcade stick, with external 2 pads snes, I wanted to have the person choose what to use as a controller pad or stick, but I can not find a solution

it was working ok,
but yesterday i start soldering the cables from my pc controller pcb to my buttons ( to add the light to my button) while the Raspberry was on. Then after i finished i lost the screen.

Tried turning the RB on without controller but that din't make the difference.
I think its just broken, better get a ODROID-XU4 instead of a Raspberry now :-( .

I have the same problem. Anyone?

@mitu ok. I don't know how, but I'll look it up

And now it works fine. The connector is a little different and I had not connected the ribbon cable properly.

@riverstorm said in Variable Governor not set in the wiki for Odroid XU4 - Performance Issue:

The initial reviews seem mostly positive for Ready Player One.

I really liked it. The film deviates from the book in sooo many ways for the sake of brevity, but it still feels like 'Ready Player One' at every turn. Something I was pleased to discovery that I didn't consider was the musical score done by Alan Silvestri. While the movie is a visual treat of pop culture references, the score manages to weave in music cues from many other properties as well and it's done in a very thoughtful way. It's not so much that you'll see a Star Wars character reference and immediately get a Star Wars music cue, but rather when moments occur that might organically evoke a strong feeling of fantasy, you may get a subtle little bit of the theme from Stephen Spielberg's Amazing Stories. All very well done.

@mynameiskeegan said in How do I change my port?:

"Host RetroPie doesn't exist."

That's not related to the port settings and indicates a DNS issue. Try to either use retropie.local as hostname or the actual IP address of the Pi system in the connection dialog.

Thanks guys! Notepad++ did the trick for me. Most likely the most essential piece of software for windows for me :)

@cosmicarcade that's probably related to the theme you're using, and you should look into the theme for details on what video it's using as the default one. Still, what @mitu said.

@maximumbob

Here are some tips for reducing input lag. You'll never get an emulation setup to completely match actual hardware, but you can improve things greatly. I just beat 'Super Mario Brothers 3' a few weeks ago and almost got a TKO on Tyson earlier today.

I knew I was doing something obviously wrong, I just didn't know what. Upon going to go copy down the names of the files, found out it was a divided archive inside the original zip, so while I unzipped the files, I did not compile them from the archive. I feel really dumb, and apologize for wasting your time. Thank you for trying to help a sad nub.

mhh now i have version 2.0.1pre an Gabriel Knights 2 will not work :(
anyone an idea.. ? debug or something

@swampy I will try this out. Thanks for the reply!
