@mitu Thank you! I will try this in the next days and let you know if It works.

Berryboot hasn't been supported for quite some time by RetroPie and there haven't been any compatible images released for a few years. How did you actually install RetroPie and which version it's installed ?

I've got autosync back.

So super happy.

Thought for some reason I lost this feature for sure.

@clarke-baxter give the full path to the MP3 to the play command. Eg

play /path/to/file.mp3

@JimmyFromTheBay You can also output that ls command there mentioned earlier. Just type emulationstation to relaunch (just type em and TAB should fill the rest, hopefully).

@MyFartSoTart

"Also in the /opt/retropie/configs/all, there is already a file named retroarch.cfg." -> obviously. Windg told you that file is corrupted. He explained you should replace it with a non-corrupted copy.

"mu: target" -> the command is "mv" (with a v, like in "velocity", not with a "u" like "unknown").

"‘retroarch.cfg.rp-dist' is not a directory" -> that's because you forgot to type the space between the two names.

Here is in 3 steps something that could help you to make less typing errors (press return after each end of line):

cd /opt/retropie/configs/all rm retroarch.cfg cp retroarch.cfg.rp-dist retroarch.cfg

The commands are :
cd, like Change Directory
rm; like ReMove
cp, like CoPy

Mind the fact there is, in the last line, a space between "retroarch.cfg.rp-dist" and "retroarch.cfg". Don't type "retroarch.cfg.rp-distretroarch.cfg" as if it was only one long word.

(as sleve_mcdichael said, it's not required to remove the file in step 2, because the cp command in step 3 will delete the original-corrupted file anyway. But I think it could help you to best understand what you are doing).

@MyFartSoTart As I said in my last post, I'd recommend to access RetroPie via network either using Samba or SSH. This way, you can access all of RetroPie's files instead of only those that Windows can read.

Besides that, for small tasks like only some config edits or file operations, you can just drop to RetroPies command shell by pressing F4 in Emulation Station, and then enter mc to start the text-based file manager Midnight Commander. You can use it to navigate RetroPie's file system, view text files by pressing F3 or edit them with F4. See here for a quick user guide to mc.

To go back to Emulation Station, exit mc with F10 to get back to the command shell, and then enter exit or press Ctrl-d.

@sirhenrythe5th said in Jump to saved state:

@sleve_mcdichael in this great Museum you have the choice of several points to jump in.
The latest savepoint is just one.
So how can we get to the point of choosing between multiple savepoints to jump in without using hotkeys?
I would try to write commandlines as stated above and add them to the gamelist.

You could use a bash script to copy the desired save state file to the required $SRAM_PATH.auto filename before launching with the savestate_auto_load setting enabled.

@Trendkiller-9 Glad you solved it :D

Let's try to test the stable versions of pcsx rearmed(r23) .
You have to modify the pcsx-rearmed.sh

Run from terminal :

sudo nano ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/pcsx-rearmed.sh

and modify the line

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/notaz/pcsx_rearmed.git master"

to be

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/notaz/pcsx_rearmed.git r23"

To save the settings press ctrl+O and ctrl+X.

@ignatius said in RetroPie on a ODROID XU4 issues:

Hi. I followed the instructions on how to install it (RetroPie) as per,

And, now, when I reboot the system I don't get emulationstation.
But, when I run "emulationstation" from the prompt I get these messages:

Dec 10 09::16:02 lvl0: Error initializing SDL!
No available video device
Dec 10 09:16:02 lvl0: Renderer failed to initialize!
Dec 10:09:16:02 lvl0: WIndow failed to initialize!

One note, though, I chroot'ed the Micro SD card on my Linux system, and did the majority of the installation on it. Because I simply cannot get WiFi working on the machine.

So, does anyone know what I may have done wrong?

Thanks for any and all help. It's grately appreciated.

Ok. I give up.I decided against installing RetroPie... and am now using Ares (RetroArena). So, i'll be cancelling this entry.

@geese-howard said in MAME 0.247 in RPi3:

Anyone uses it from https://stickfreaks.com/mame?

There is a spreadsheet showing a good performance using latest build - .0247, however i dont know how to install it.

If you wait a week or so the mame0.247 will be as binary in the RetroPie-Setup and you know it will work for sure without a lot of hassle.

But if you really want to try you can easily use it.
Be aware of the fact that the binary can fail with some distributions.
Not sure it will still work on Buster 10 distributions, but you can try.

If you have already mame installed earlier from the experimental section, which makes sure all dependencies and configs are installed, then you can just download and copy the files from within the zip file to :
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame

Optionally you can rename the old folder, earlier on, from :
/opt/retropie/emulators/mame to /opt/retropie/emulators/mame.bak for example.

You have to do the commands as root with sudo.

@berlinhimmel Unfortunately not, quite a lot of games on consoles have different memory processes for the NTSC and PAL versions, so the saves aren't swappable.

I have the same Controller and it is working fine here with 4.8.2 .

Let's try to reset input configuration:

RestroPIe-Setup > Configuration > emulationstation > Clear/Reset ES input configuration. After that, restart and configure again the controller.

Also, the controller have a small button in the back, set this to X position.

Ok, the 5.15.? Kernel didn't work well. I had some screen dropouts again.
I then tried 5.10.60, which still had the screen tearing issue in Exult. After that I installed 5.10.64, which eliminates the screen tearing. So one of the commits between those versions fixed that. I will test this kernel further in the coming days and report back.
