You're not going to get any good performance on 3D mame games on the Pi.
But for Soul Calibur and all other arcade games that run on a Naomi or Atomiswave board use Flycast.

I don't have any other idea at the moment.

@jhny0 I know that this topic is quite old, and at this point, I am doing necromancy, but what model dongle did you buy? I fought one, which thechnically works with linux machines, but the range... Well lets just say a short wired controller has better range.

You can't copy your games directly to the SD card from your Windows system. What you're seeing is just the boot partition, there is 2nd Linux partition on the SD card which is not readable by Windows - this is where the actual OS is installed. To transfer your games over use one of the methods supported - see the documentation.

Assuming you're referring to the pairing info saved by Linux, you may try copying over the /var/lib/bluetooth/ folder. It's only accessible by the root user and you'll need to use the command line to copy it somewhere to back-it up.

@windg Not (yet). On the RPI (and probably other embedded) platforms we install a patched SDL2 library, but not on PC - where we use the distro's version of SDL2.
When the SDL2 library shipped by RetroPie will be upgraded we'll make sure to accomodate the changes done in upstream SDL2. For reference, see the discussions on this RetroPie issue.

@mitu I DO NOT KNOW how to THANK YOU!
I know wife and i had made this image together for 2 years
and in a blink i messed it up i was so afraid to tell her lol
I can't believe it is back loading!

took your advice and went with the newer extras
I truly want to thank you kindly for your time
now i can back this up and have a deep breath lol

Can you please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

On the Pi4 (and 400) there's no need for the GPU memory split, that's required for earlier models. If you have installed from the RetroPie image downloaded from https://retropie.org.uk/download, the memory settings should be fine. For a Pi4, a 512 GPU split is excessive and will not help the performance.

I try Crash Team Racing (chd) with RetroPie 4.8.2 and latest version of lr-pcsx-rearmed(build from source) and the game running without issues. I recommend to open a new topic and add all the necessary info:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first especialy the verbose.log : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#launch-with-verbose-logging

@cyperghost Just got here after buying a 2nd hand case and losing my mind a little.

Wanted to say that your instructions and script worked perfectly first time, absolutely over the moon :)

Thankyou, thankyou :) (I even signed up here to say ta ;) )

@Waterrr said in How to turn off Bluetooth completely:

Pi Model or other hardware: Pi3B

With that board, adding "dtoverlay=disable-bt" (sorry, the dot in my prev. msg was a typo i missed to observe&edit) to /boot/config.txt (preferable) under the comment ... :

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

should do the trick...

I just got it to work for me in my retropie in emulation station 2.11.

I kept the name of the rom as dkspkyrmx.zip, dropped it in the rom folder, set the emulator to advmame and set the emulator to lr-fbneo and it worked no prob.

@sleve_mcdichael I just don’t want the gravatar image associated with the email address I used for this forum as my profile image.

And seems a little unwelcoming for new users like myself.

That worked! Thank you very much!

What can I say… it worked.

I guess I was not able to properly write down the code, I got zeroes 0 in there but maybe they where Os or so. Although I tried multiple times.

I tried it now, the code was easy small letters only and with the virtual keyboard in ScummVM it instantly worked.

Sorry for the bother and thank you very much for your time!

@just_jeepin
Have you tried skyscraper? The default for it gives me a screenshot with the marquee and boxart. Not sure if you can add everything you would like but the GitHub for it does talk about customize the scraped art so maybe you can? If nothing else you get some boxart.
