@aphex Most of the games it labeled the same in my SNES folder aren't even related to the series lol.

@meleu I did find them, but this command didn't work from within BASH on the pi. It could be because I installed RetroPie onto Raspbian myself, and I think the images were in the opt directory somewhere.

Yeah that was one. I had a hard time following it and when I thought I had it, it didn't work. I also tried the GitHub guide that told me to basically do the same thing but the strings it had me add to fstab were a little different from the first guide. Couldn't get that to work either.

@godsephiroth If you follow the instructions in my post here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7832/fix-up-left-joystick-direction-for-tht-2p-arcade-controller-with-device-id-0x75e1/9 it should work for 05e0. The location in each file to make those edits is most easily found if you just

sudo nano <filename>
search for XIN_
add the line right after the existing entry

Yeah I would rather the cue and not bin files listed. You can always add the extension manually though.

I am hoping that seeing as how supergrafx now supports chd format that it will make it's way into the genesis_plus_gx core..saves a LOT of space and tidies up nicely.

Won't have to worry about missing cues and no music ect...

@gordonfreemanjr said in Amiga and DosBox emulators not showing:

YES, create the 'amiga' folder if nonexistent;
NO, do not create amiga lines in the .cfg file, leave it be;

These are unnecessary as they are handled automagically when the emulator is installed from the setup script

And installing from source is generally not recommended if binaries are available

Should it matter than I can't seem to access /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/? When I connect to my Pi from my MacBook, Finder shows that folder as empty. But if I attempt to drag a copy of 8bitdo SNES 30.cfg from the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfigs folder to retroarch-joypads, I get an error. On my PC I can't even open the retroarch-joypads folder.

For anyone who may come across this same problem, to solve it I had to set everything up how I needed it including BIOS roms configurations, and only once I was happy did I run all of the updates and all appears to be working normally again now

I was unable to fix the volume for the roms. I increase all the audio level from the retopie menu and increase the default audio mixer levels. but now all the N64 games are way too loud.

well I guess running 2010 core on the pi with an old game like that might not be too bad..I'll try it thanks. :)

@tmntturtlguy I have around 25-27gb on my 64gb so it should be fine. Thank you m8! I will take a look at rpi-clone! Cheers!

@loubron Google hide boot text then you can use run command to hide the emulator options. There is a kids mode but it's in beta effectively in experimental packages. I would study the wiki a lot of the info is there. You will not get perfect experiance but you can get bloody dame close

@joshbgosh10592 the script is just the one that runs mupen64plus in retropie -you're already using it :) i was just showing how it forces the show fps stuff, if you're running GLideN64. i can't see how you'd avoid it.

thread can be closed

Thanks

Ok guys, I have just redone the SD card and it's working perfect - as far as I can see the config file is identical to what I had it as. I have no idea what happened there but to be honest, its now working and the kids are happy so all is well.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

@nitrofurano you can use both at the same time in retroarch cores. Program keyboard like you do controller. You may then have to manually add configuration keys in /opt/retropie/configs/sll/retroarch.cfg. Find the controls section and add the keys if they dont already set them. You have to manually create all of player 2's config.
