Im assuming this is a brand new problem that no one has experienced before based on the screen I have being generic.

@polygaryd
so to run this from emulationstation @mitu said to add XINIT: /opt/retropie/ports/dunelegacy/dunelegacy in the emulators.cfg file in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/dunelegacy folder and retropie's run command will handle xinit. So I removed xserver-xorg-legacy package and tested what he told me to do. It does in fact work, no need for sudo before the xinit command with his suggestion.

As a side note he actually told me to do this for glhexen2 which needs xinit but couldnt find the game data files if you run "sudo xinit". I used what he told me and applied it to dunelegacy.

There are two more issues, one I have overcome the other I need help with. The issue I overcame was that when you run dunelegacy it says it cant find the pak files to run the game and wants them either in the "data" folder or /home/pi/.configs/dunelegacy/data". So in the start script located in /home/pi/Retropie/roms/ports/dunelegacy.sh I added "cd /opt/retropie/ports/dunelegacy" before the runcommand line. This first puts you in the dunelegacy directory with the executable and the data folder it wants, then runs the runcommand to execute the dunelegacy executable. I wish I could have the data under /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports like every other game ran in emulationstation but I havent figured out how to do that yet if its even possible.

The issue I need help with is I have no keyboard in dune legacy, but the mouse works. The game works fine otherwise. I cannot figure out how to get the keyboard working.

Keyboard does work in glhexen2 using XINIT: string so it must be something wrong with dunelegacy??

Any help on this would be great.

@mitu

I'm using it from emulationstation.

@mitu Using the standalone version of MAME, most recent version. And if you run merlin, mmerlin, mbdtower, starwbc you can see this happen.

Configuring the keyboard in ES doesn't mean you can't use it as a keyboard in the emulators. Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and specify which emulators have you tried and didn't work.

@lolonois Thankyou very much. I will keep this in mind !

@mitu Thank You, that explains so much.

@bobharris PI 2 model b V1.1 works awesome for me, there's just a little lag, and all I did was set overclock to high.

@dankcushions, this is what I'm currently working on. I'll use the documentation Quicksilver mentioned to rebuild the old systems I want to transfer.

@mahoneyt944 thanks!!!!

I’m late to this show. But my recent build of mame2003plus is still having issues with this audio sample.

It works in the test menu, but in game it crashes. It also crashes when you I set the music to play in demo mode.

@busywait It works! Thx

Thanks for the info. I will look into the script issues you mention and will move it to optional when I've tested.

@g30ff the drive is just a script that boots a service, but yep tried that ... and also working with Sinden too .. but since this was such a needle, was hoping there was some known mouse issues lingering that could help me pinpoint a resultion

THANKS !!!

@messy in which screen/menu are you seeing the "you can unplug the controller now"? Is it on the "pair register bluetooth device" after going from EmulationStation > Bluetooth menu?

Well, It turns out that my sound problem was probably due to the display refresh rate not being on sync.

After many reinstalls (both OS and Retropie) I was able to make sense of all this and I now can enjoy Retropie again on my old laptop with Lubuntu 20.04.

Thank you mitu for your time, this is really appreciated.

@peetem All the files in the config folder should be owned and accessible by the installation user (pi on a Pi system). They're also available at \\retropie\configs via file shares.
Check the permissions on that folder by running

ls -ld /opt/retropie/configs

and post the output.
