EDIT: I have looked into it more, and realized that it was because overscan was disabled. I neglected to remember this for some reason, but I have fixed it.

@simpleethat thanks!

@gomisensei That worked perfectly, thanks!

One more piece of the puzzle...at the end of my script, if I remove the GPIO.cleanup(), then the light stays on.

But, in subsequent calls to my script, I receive a warning that the channel is already in use. It doesn't stop the code, but the programmer in me doesn't like warnings.

My question now is why does the cleanup function change the output of the GPIO pins?

@helloThere I use win32diskimager on my PC and it works very well. The interface is fairly intuitive too. Hopefully it works for you.

@Folly

Thanks Folly

this really is going to help me

Thank you !!!!

The hotkey is defined in the RetroPie controller config. You can then customize the hotkeys in RetroArch.

Or I believe you can set up "shift key" behavior in the I-PAC config to do the same thing.

If you still want separate buttons that's fine, was just a personal preference to have my controls be minimal.

I haven't installed any leaf buttons/sticks myself, I guess you can check the other forums here or google around for more info.

well, i deleted the custom es-systems.cfg file, reinstalled all the emulators and they now appear on the system list and games are launching well.
Thanks a lot for the help.

I have lost the system PC Engine CDROM that i created outside PCENGINE as a standalone system, i need to figure out how to create it again without making a custom es_systems.cfg file !

This topic can be marked as solved !

@DavidDraper

Ah ok will do.

Thanks for your response.

I use the hotkeys for my retropie on tv...but for the arcade I find it much friendly without. When I need hotkey I just grab the wireless keyboard. The volume switch is already on the cabinet I’m using.

I have also notice on the new retropie image on retroarch hot key binds they added a double tap of the exit. Not sure if code on that can be adjusted as a hard press instead?

Thank you both

It Worked!!!!

that did the trick !!!!!!

@Dr-Nick

Start with this youtube video:

This will help. If you still have questions, come back. I'll keep an eye on the thread.

@dankcushions

yeah i guess its all trail and error ... well i didnt think it mattered with game settings , i just thought it was controller settings that were that's it

well with all this advice you have given me ... i have knowledge what to try and see ... i appreciate that very much

thank you for all your help

I got the same error message, I fixed it by changing the power supply :/

What account ? I assume it was banned for good reason.

Just remembered the c64 had different colors between pal and ntsc changed the default to ntsc on vice now it matches my memory.

still not sure why the letter s acts up on a physical keyboard in lr-vice
