@bram279b What mitu said plus... you should just be able to swap joystick ports with the controller. It's built into the base mapping if you're using a SNES style controller.

If not, it should be your "A" button, whatever that is. That should toggle.

Try it with an easier game like Bruce Lee. Use the virtual keyboard as well as the controller to make sure you have it setup correctly.

The Virtual Keyboard in lr-vice64 also has a button to press to toggle joysticks,

@mitu Yea tbh I'm not sure what it uses, I just thought I would take a chance incase anyone knew.

@mitu ah, wonderful! I will give it a shot. Thanks for the swift reply :)

@alphabetapie discussed here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/#emulators-mupen64plus-lr-mupen64plus-lr-mupen64plus-next

note also that i believe lr-mupen64plus has a bug that makes it crash after ~30 mins.

Will research. Thanks for the info.

@theautisticgamer The reason the Past music works is because it's PCM audio (part of the game code), whereas the rest of the game's music is RedBook audio (meaning it's streamed from the CD). Check your .cue file in Notepad or some other text editor, and make sure that your files are named exactly as they appear in the .cue file. It might require the audio be in .WAV format instead of .MP3 format. And if you're trying to run the game from the .iso file, use the .cue file.

@dankcushions It finished while I was at work. Any other updates I should do?!?!
I will remember for next time though... Binary, not source...

@mitu said in Audio Settings w/ PulseAudio:

@bluestang It should be fixed now in latest RetroPie-Setup, make sure you update if you wan to test it again.

Thanks, works as expected.

@thorr69 said in RetroPie Menu Missing:

@hyperstarr YOu need to add games to the roms folders. For example, if you put a game in the NES folder (roms/nes) then the NES will show up as a system in the carousel. The carousel auto-hides systems that have no games.

Brilliant, thank you very much!

@dashbandith Hi there! I'm the author of the scriptmodule to install the Godot "emulator". As @mitu already mentioned, your distro is not officially supported and my script is intended to work with RetroPie. Besides that, the message you are getting is because your platform is not recognised by the script and thus can't offer any configuration options, but the "emulators" should work anyway. If you end up using RetroPie I'll be more than happy to try to help you ;)

I've been testing a few things and found that two things help.

A full update seemed to fix the usbmount service failing to start. (Could be coincidental. I will advise if it turns out to be bad advice) sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo reboot

UPDATE : Confirmed AOK. Occasionally I see the logs fly by with a red usbmount service failure, but within 2 seconds there is a matching line stating the usbmount service is up and running. All good.

It seems that the root cause of the extensive time delay to launch ES is ES searching the roms folders to see if there have been any new roms added. https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/blob/master/GAMELISTS.md indicates that once I am happy with my roms I can change how ES is launched by using the switch --gamelist-only to skip automatic searching, and only display games defined in the system's gamelist.xml. Will update shortly after I've done some testing.

UPDATE: --gamelist-only switch works perfectly. Can also be set by entering RetroPie's Main menu > Other > and enabling Parse Gamelists Only. I can now have thousands of roms on the attached USB drive and ES loads in a few seconds. :-)

Hello

Ok

for a reason that i don't understand, all my rom working using mame2000 emulator.

Maybe my old raspberry 1 b is not enough powerful for the mame4all emulator ...

So if it could help someone to have this info...

@texascabinet please fill out all of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

please also give details of your process on chasing the key mapping.

@mike1889

I actually have a dedicated hotkey on the arcade controller. On the SNES pads I just use SELECT as hotkey. I haven’t had the time use the cabinet for some time now but at least I can’t remember having problems when swapping between the different configurations of buttons on the controllers..

In some cases using SELECT as a hotkey can interfere with the game controls but as far as I’m concerned the dedicated hotkey is not absolutely necessary. On the other hand I really wish I had put in two more action buttons on the arcade controllers. I now have Street Fighter style six button layouts but I wish they were eight buttons instead. They could be used as R1 and R2 on Playstation games. NeoGeo cabinets used to have four buttons in a row so having two rows of four buttons would mimic the NeoGeo controller better as I then could use one out of the two rows of buttons as originally intended. There’s probably also many other situations where more action buttons will allow for better configurations.

If you haven’t read this yet you really should, it’s a fantastic resource on arcade controllers:

@mitu
you got right!
i start the MetalSlug game and there is it all be correct and works fine.
its only non co-op games there will only player1 work.

will try some other games and will see if all be work fine

thx

@hawkes_84 Please don't post on years old topics. Open a new topic and link the old topic if you think it contains relevant info to your issue.

The mappings for N64 are described in the emulators doc page - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/. If you wish to change it, you can either use RetroArch's input remapping for the lr-mupen64/lr-mupen64-next emulators or editing the InputAutoCfg.ini for the standalone mupen64plus emulator.

@technicaljunky It's not a problem if PulseAudio is present - the only issue for you seems to be EmulationStation's audio settings, which should be solvable with the correct configuration.

Do u find solution guys?
