The three wired buttons are strange...

Others have evaluated these chinese knock-offs more closely:

The wiring harness is only compatible with the buttons and joysticks that china provides (but that does not stop anyone with a soldering iron!)

Full article here.

TL;DR: Reverse-engineer the button or get a new pushbutton.

@oleguer please provide all the info requested in my link. that includes a specific example game, the image you used, the verbose log, and so forth.

that said, i don't use advmame on pi4 - i believe it is unoptimized. in the first instance you should use one of the recommended MAME/FBN emulators: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/#step-1-choose-your-arcade-emulators

lr-fbneo is probably the best all-round performer.

@spacebiscuit please ensure you stick to the official image. As I'm unable to assist you further regarding your audio issue feel free to raise a ticket here. Perhaps more help can be obtained that way. Provide as much details and info about your setup as you can in the ticket. Thanks.

@lindsay I'm not sure if it's related to your problem, but I've had a similar issue with my L2/R2 on my xbox 360 joystick. It usually happens on a kernel update. What fixes it for me is re-installing the xpad driver from source.

I thought that once paired via Bluetooth, the speaker would re-pair when started with the system. How did you pair the speakers with RetroPie ?

@mitu
Thanks a lot for the great advice! This can be closed now.

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you, somehow the link between making a custom system and linking libetro cores didn't occur to me.

@geese-howard ok thanks, cause it's not on the webpage, but other service like retropie are in.

Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Did you modify your config.txt bootloader configuration file ? Can you its contents here in the topic ?

@windg Thanks. This should be fixed now.

all you have to do is update to the latest version and let me know if you prefer it this way

Regards

Cool, I'll try that. Is the change already there?

EDIT: just updated and yeah, that's a definite improvement. Thank you for the effort!

@duglor said in What file tells the various mames to use their artwork cfg files with their matching name roms?:

I had a prebuilt pie.

We don't support 3rd party images, which is quite clearly outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

If you don't know how the image is configured, then you won't know how to fix any issues which may occur - start with the official image from https://retropie.org.uk/download if you wish we can offer you support here in the forums.

@backstander

I noticed the same thing, in the switch mode I had ghost movements and it all went away when I put the gamepad in windows mode.

@toughjiggy said in Pi marquee 2 question:

if i use scraper will it automatically update the png files for other systems im using?

For games yes, you can use the scraper - but you'll need to use and external scraper like Skyscraper to get marquees, the built in EmulationStation doesn't support downloading marquees.

Marquees for systems are not so common, but you can look for logos on the scraping sites. For instance, ScreenScraper.fr has a page for each system, with a Media section where various artwork for the system exists.

Or should i create my own png for systems like megadrive,nes etc

That's always an option.

I faced the same issue with a Pi 400. It looks that the issue is specific with the resolution and the second HDMI2 port. If I boot the system with the default resolution everything is fine. If i change the resolution to CEA 4 (1280x720 60hz) then a black screen appear instead of Emulationstation.

To be sure, I try to a second RPi4 and in a different TV and the same issue occured.

So if someone have the same issue, the HDMI 1 port for Rpi4 is near to power cable and in the Pi 400i is near to SD card slot or leave the default resolution if you want to use the HDMI2.
