@PetroRie I did the updaate as per BuZz recommendation and it worked for me

@BuZz Thank you very much, worked very well. Note that I did the binary update right after a clean SD install

Sorry, I just don't want to trash on this forum.

Fixed it. I installed Lakka instead. (www.lakka.tv). Worked 100% perfectly first try.

@eddyman1us I can look at the quoting/escaping. In the meantime you can always adjust the essid. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I finally gave up and just reinstalled Retropie and now it's all working.

You could try setting up your wifi from the command line and reboot your RPi. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md

@vincedj Could you edit your comment to add formatting?

@dankcushions thanks mate! that was the problem :)

now playing uridium on the tv. :)

@dankcushions said in No luck overclocking Retropie with Raspberry Pi 3:

@mrbwa1 n64 (HLE) emulation isn't CPU intensive really. look at top command when it's running. it's GPU - that's why lowering resolution helps.

it is certainly using hardware rendering, though

Looks like it's tome for me to look back at what's being used. Certainly, trying to render at 1080p is going to use a lot more GPU than 480p. And if someone doesn't like the look @ 480p, they should look at the original N64 hardware running through a flat screen! (S-video helps a lot: that or having the $$ and hardware to do the HDMI and RGB mods.)

To sum up my thoughts: N64 emulation is really hard and it's not the hardware itself that seems to be the limiting factor. The actual emulation is extremely difficult.

Awesome thanks. Ive got it all sorted and my screen is flipped, Love the raspberry Pi. Thanks for the help!

Figured it out! Dental Pick!

I'm on 3.8.1 and my PS3 controller is working via Bluetooth just fine. I should mention that it is a fresh install (I did not upgrade from a previous version).

Do you have a PS3? If you plug it in to that and turn it on with the PS button I think it resets itself. Then go to RetroPie setup and try to setup the controller again?

Hey,

I was looking for a way just a day or so ago. Here are some relevant topics:

https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/371
https://www.reddit.com/r/emulationstation/comments/3gilif/hiding_roms/

I have not tried any of the solutions I've read, but if you try any of this, please report back.

Awesome Thanks !!! That worked.. :)

@mat03111984 Excellent news, glad you were able to resolve the problem

Which emulator(s) are you seeing this with?

I see lots of entries for the same game with the PlayStation emulator, as Emulation Station is displaying all the files which make up the game (at least, all those with extensions it 'recognises', as specified in the es_systems.cfg file for that emulator)

A long while ago I watched one of the excellent RetroPie videos on YouTube from forum user @Floob in which he covers using a tool to combine the elements of a PlayStation game into a single file (Iso, or similar, if I recall correctly), which cleans up the list in ES

In the Spectrum emulator I generally see a couple of entries if I've unpacked an archive file and left both the archive and the original in the Roms directory
