its not looking like this is a possibility

I know users in the RPi forums have made this work, but you have to use gparted to convert the partition table to GPT (from MBR), from a separate/different system - a Linux system which can run gparted on the (unmounted) SSD disk. If you have a PC system you can use gparted from there (with a Live USB Linux - https://gparted.org/liveusb.php).

I have made a similar attempt like what you are mentioning (at least I think) by loading into raspberry pi os from as card installing gparted then plugging in the 5tb usb had (non-ssd) and using gparted to convert from MBR to GPT. After that I use a windows machine and the pi image writer to write retries (and I’ve even tried raspi os) to the usb hdd. The problem im finding is that it just turns the hdd back to MBR.

After some thought I do believe there is a way (with some of my windows hdd tools) to convert an MBR hdd to GPT with the OS installed and not destroying the data. I will have a look later on today. Not sure how this will fair however as after the image writer the hdd will be in Linux format (ext4 I think it is?) so maybe I’ll have a look with both windows tools an gparted after the image write and see what options I have.

@barbudreadmon I created the swap file and it works perfectly. I am currently using it under recalbox on a GPI Case RPI 2W Zero.

The only thing I can think is to enter the runcommandmenu when you start a game and try to select a different resolution.
Really a long time ago since I used this stuff and no time to look into it.
Might be that someone else has an idea.

@roslof Thanks a lot for that link :)

Please include all the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to be able to assist you.

I just started to begin with DSi Emulation, using lr-LemonDS, and came to the point the tutorial ends: games will only start via the DSi-Menu, so "boot directly into rom" has to be disabled in the core-options.
Only difference: i have full access to the DSi-Roms in the /ROMS/DS-Folder from there and dont have to use prestuffed NAND-Files (would also be a fishy way imo, not the way it should work)

And this is an issue:
first of all on the official FAQ-Board it is recommended to keep this option at its default (=off/boot into rom), in special when the DSi-Bios is used.

Secondly the Retroachievements for DSi-Games only launch up when booting directly into the rom, you can see the widget, everythings fine.
Only problem: the screen keeps being white and silent.

Booting into menu works as mentioned, so the BIOS-Files are good for sure.
I can start all my games from there, but without Retroachievements Support, so i hope to find a way to boot directly into the game (as it should work :)).
I allready tinkered with further core-options, but had no luck.
If anyone has an idea it would be much appreciated.

It's a closed source 32bit app. You're on a 64bit OS, so it won't run

It works on the 2010 MAME core in Retroarch.

Looking for a save for this game (MK2Plus) and UMK3Plus with complete unlocks. For Retroarch FBNeo Core.

The ones from Fightcade's FBNeo emulator don't work... I get a CMOS error, which makes it go back to default factory settings.

Can anyone provide a hand? It would be greatly appreciated.

@Plantor07 been literally dealing with this for days with 8bitdo and Stadia. Tried this and it worked for me.

And yes, in hope rather than expectation I did try changing:

config_version=3.6.0

to

config_version=5.7.1

It did not, of course, help, except that instead of dumping to a Workbench 1.3 "insert disk" screen, the game now dumped to a Workbench 1.3 "insert disk" screen in the wrong aspect ratio.
