    @bollwerk I tried it now and sometimes the game loads, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it works without the menu screens. Weird. I am using an experimental kernel and the kms video driver so there might be bugs with that.

    Here's a verbose log: https://pastebin.com/25ZvhUBh

    Seems to work fine on fb-neo.

    The RetroPie Docs have a very detailed chapter about Spinners, Trackballs, Lightguns, Mice .

    For the fine tuning of the spinners' sensitivity for each game, I used MAME`s own so-called tab menu that comes up when you press the tab key. See this video about how to do that:

    Two more useful references about spinners:

    Please add some more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

    What emulator/game are you starting ? The libretro emulators (starting lr-) should be auto-configured after you set-up the gamepad in EmulationStation, but if it's one of the other stand-alone emulators, additional configuration may be needed.

    @simpleethat thanks for the info. Yeah, they are both 16x9, 1080 is 1920x1080 and 720p is 1366x768. I think everything is set to 1920x1080 on my pi currently. Hoping to find out if I have to change any settings to step down to 1366x768 (720p) for proper framing?

    @kelkyko Then it might be in the alternative location ~/.emulationstation/gamelists/arcade. Try that path after the cd command. If the error occurs again, show us the output of the second of these commands (but execute both in that order):

    sudo updatedb locate gamelist.xml

    Just to be sure, you are using the correct system in the path? (arcade or wherever else your roms reside in).

    @buzz

    My was setup:

    Raspberry pi 4 model B Rev1.2 (Stock Clocks) Raspberry Pi4 Argonone Case Retropie 4.6.8 43' 1080p TV 8bitdo controller Using 5ghz Wifi

    Only occurs on stuff like SNES, NES, and similar 2D platforms, but as i mentioned before using a custom aspect ratio with 1 less pixel on Y & X axis than core config seemed to fix it. Bilinear Filtering, and Interger-scale also fix the tearing aswell not sure if there are other fixes though. V sync is on any everything.

    @barbudreadmon That doesn't work either. Thank your for the help.

    But in the meantime I found a solution.
    Not a direct answer to my question - so it doesn't work with lr-fbneo.

    I found lr-mame in the experimental packages and this emulator emulates exactly the right speed!

    Thanks for all the help here!

    @clockwork42 I know this thread is a few months old but figured out how to do exactly what I believe you are trying to do and I wanted to post it in case you or anyone else is still looking like I was up until recently.

    I separated MSU-1 into a distinct system from the rest of SNES called "snesmsu1". Here is what my "/roms/snesmsu1" folder looks like:

    alt text

    For this setup you would also need to make a folder called "snesmsu1" at "/opt/retropie/configs/snesmsu1". You could copy the "snes" folder from "configs" as a starting point. I removed all emulators from "emulators.cfg" except for lr-snes9x and replaced the reference to "snes" with "snesmsu1" so that it looks like this:

    lr-snes9x = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-snes9x/snes9x_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/snesmsu1/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" default = "lr-snes9x"

    I also edit "retroarch.cfg" replacing the reference to "snes" with "snesmsu1" so that it looks like this:

    # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/snesmsu1/" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

    The crucial part that will make runcommand execute your 'rom.sh' files as scripts instead of trying to open them with the default emulator is the command node in your "es_systems.cfg" file. Here is what my system node for "snesmsu1" looks like, including the command:

    <system> <name>snesmsu1</name> <fullname>Super Nintendo MSU1</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snesmsu1</path> <extension>.sh .SH</extension> <command>bash %ROM%</command> <platform>snes</platform> <theme>snesmsu1</theme> </system>

    With the above in your "es_systems.cfg" and a folder named snesmsu1 in your "roms" folder, you will have a separate section in EmulationStation for SNES MSU-1. You will also have to use a theme that has an "snesmsu1" section. Otherwise, you will have a blank, unthemed section for "snesmsu1".

    Only '.sh' files in your "snesmsu1" folder will be displayed in this section in EmulationStation. Notice in my screenshot that the names of all the folders that contain the actual game files begin with a dot which makes them hidden in Linux so they aren't displayed in EmulationStaion. Your "gamelist.xml" file points to one of the '.sh' files in the "path" node for each game and then you can have all your metadata and media set up as well and everything will look pretty in EmulationStation.

    Other than that, here is an example of what my 'Chrono Trigger (MSU-1).sh' looks like for launching the game:

    #!/bin/bash "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _SYS_ "snesmsu1" "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snesmsu1/.Chrono Trigger (MSU-1)/Chrono Trigger (MSU-1).sfc"

    Because of the different commands in "es_systems.cfg" for launching regular SNES ROMs vs. running shell scripts, you really do need to separate MSU-1 into a different system from regular SNES. Actually, you could combine them, but if you want to keep things organized as described then you would have to create a similar shell script for each regular SNES ROM as well. I prefer to have them separated for aesthetics, organization and ease of use.

    With everything configured as I described, EmulationStation looks nice and tidy and so does my "/roms/snesmsu1" folder. I hope this helps.
