    So I found a solution that I think works (at least for me.) I changed the entire configs.hdmi>daphne folder permissions to 555 and when I add a new controller, I get this error:

    daphne input.jpg

    However it does NOT overwrite my current dapinput.ini file. I can't see anything else in that directory that it would need to write to anyway.

    I tested all 17 Daphne games and they all worked and they all kept my controller configs even after configuring a few new controllers so I think this is at least a fix for my situation.

    Thanks for the input everyone! It was helpful to put me on the right path!

    You have a good point.

    I had a very similar problem to this thread. I replaced my Pi 3 retropie with a Pi 4 and retropie was behaving in a jittery fashion with Emulation Station and the games weren't smooth. I also have a 4K Samsung Smart TV as did the original poster. Although I wasn't using Amiberry, I was using mame, daphne, and jzintv and I figured the same solution that @gordonfreemanjr used would work for me. So I added the five lines to my /boot/config.txt file that he listed in his "IT WORKS" post but lo-and-behold it did not work for me. tvservice -s was still showing a 4K connection when I expected 1080p.

    My solution was simple with a twist. Starting from the stock config.txt, I uncommented and modified the following:

    hdmi_group:0=1 hdmi_mode:0=16

    It was necessary for me to add the :0 to get it to work. Now there are no jitters, the motion is smooth, and tvservice -s reports a 1080p connection.

    @guy-0 said in Run a command after logging off pixel:

    Should I have done it through CLI instead?

    No, installing from RetroPie-Setup is fine. I wonder why the onstart script doesn't work though, the desktop is launched via runcommand.

    @mitu Thanks. Didn’t work though. Updated Skyscraper, recreated the gamelist, installed the Daphne emulator, rebooted: the ES fails to boot, same error code.

    @george-spiggott Thanks for the reply, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for Amiberry updates.

    In the meantime I’ve ordered a 2nd SD Card to have a general play around as I’m still new to this and keep breaking things, so I’ll have a look into the Amiberry downgrade as part of that experiment!

    Look into https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/#controls to see how the controls are configured for N64 emulators.

    @oathbetrayer The Docs have a section for getting started. You don't need NOOBS for RetroPie, you can just flash/install the latest image and it will be enough to get you started.

    @dreamcastkid That may be true, and they could be defining the same thing or perhaps using a different approach to correct the perspective geometry enhancing the GTE processor or the Emulated Geometry Transform Pipeline . The co-processor for original hardware playstation was called the Geometry Transform Engine. A few plugins available for PCSX-R and EPSXE have GTE accuracy hacks but these plugin options are lost in Retroarch, or perhaps already implimented.

    @mitu
    I have now managed to get the test script to read the following data.

    mame-libretro lr-mame2016 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/galaga.zip /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2016/mamearcade2016_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/galaga.zip"

    Test script:

    system=$1 emulator=$2 path=$3 commandline=$4 echo $system > /home/pi/test.txt echo $emulator >> /home/pi/test.txt echo $path >> /home/pi/test.txt echo $commandline >> /home/pi/test.txt

    Where do I enter the option Y for the game and how do I read this option into my script?

    E.g:
    if type = Y then ./script1.sh
    if type = X then ./script2.sh

    Edit:
    Now I have a solution.
    My script:

    ############################################################### # 4 oder 8 Wege Joystick von runcommand-onstart.sh aufgerufen # # (C) 2021 treki # ############################################################### # Namen der 4-Wege Games in /home/pi/4way.games eintragen #system=$1 #emulator=$2 #path=$3 commandline=$4 echo $commandline > /home/pi/game.name.txt #Name des 4-Wege ROMs in diesem File, welches in 4way.games geschrieben werden muss var=$(echo $commandline | grep -o -f /home/pi/4way.games) if [ -z "$var" ] then echo "8-Wege Joystick" > /home/pi/test.txt else echo "4-Wege Joystick" > /home/pi/test.txt fi

    In the file /home/pi/4way.games are the names (.zip) of 4-way games.
    My 4way.games file looks like this:

    asteroid1 astdelux bzonec pbobble2u dkong dkong3b dkongjrb fantsia2 galaga galaxian mspacman pacman pengo phoenixt popeyebl qbert qixb spacedx supertnk tankfrce atetrisa tetrisp tron4 uniwars

    Entry in /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh :

    bash "/home/pi/4or8way.sh" "$@"

    @hairdyeguy said in Speeding up boot time and the necessary commands:

    Tried it along side to disabeling bluetooth and rainbow splash screen + inserting the quiet flag to kernel. Booting time is now 28 seconds!
    Are there more things you'd recommend?

    The EmulationStation settings I mentioned in my first post - they should speed up dramatically the front-end startup.

    Other services that are not strictly needed - raspi-config(?), hciuart (which you don't need if you disabled Bluetooth), rpi-eeprom-update (the Pi zero doesn't have an EEPROM).
    You can also disable the swap service (dphys-swapfile) and test, but the Pi 0 has limited memory and swap may be useful if you want to install from source or run other things.

    I'm not sure why the dev-mmcblk0p2.device takes so long, maybe the sdcard is not so fast (?).

    There may be other - more radical - options

    Experiencing the same issue since updating to 4.7 (pi 4)

    Previously I had working bluetooth but it seems to be messed up since the update.

    I also tried removing bluez and reinstalling but now cannot see any bluetooth devices when scanning .

    What's the fix guys? Would prefer to not re-image my SD card!

    @mitu

    Turns out I'm a complete dope.

    I figured out what I've been doing.

    I thought I had been setting the rendering resolution of the game.

    What I had actually been setting was the Pi video output resolution over HDMI to the monitor.

    So in the end I now have my games running properly. They are being rendered at 640x480 in the emulator as they should, and I'm outputting dreamcast games at 720p to get a bit more performance. Every other system I left at the default output of 1080p.

    You've probably modified one of the start-up services which you shouldn't have. Post the contents of /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh file from your system.
