@caver01 thanks. I plan to put the trackball into USB mode and use it as a mouse to try it!

So is frameskip simply not possible / accessible in the LR MAME cores? Because that rather craps on how useful they are on Pi 1 / Zero for all but the oldest & most basic games.

@Riverstorm, No, I am not seeing anything notable. The quality is good on this AOC monitor. Just out of curiosity, that's all.

@dankcushions Ah okay, no worries, it's actually only a small number of ROMS I'm using mame2010 with anyway, and a friend has promised me some roms converted to the correct version for FBA now, so hopefully I can avoid 2010 until it's less experimental!

Thanks for your help.

also, upgrade the lr-fceumm nes emulator by SOURCE via https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/updating-retropie#updatinginstalling-individual-packages

(there's been a recent input lag fix.. it's probably available in the binary also but i loose track!)

lr-snes9x-next (SNES emulator) has also received a similar fix that can be obtained doing the same.

Thanks for the Reply. It's actually much simpler than I was making it. I just don't linux GUI alot and the folder was in Home > RetroPie > ROMS. I looked everywhere else lol.

Once again, thanks so much.

You can switch shaders on using the configuration tool here:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor

Or you can manually customise your retroarch.cfg files, some info here:

Broadly speaking, a very popular shader is from davej, which is included in RetroPie.

Please note the comment about BerryBoot support here:

In the configs originally there is stuff hashtagged out at the top of the files originally. I thought i would remove that stuff and only have the stuff i needed. My files kept getting changed. I ended up redoing my cfg files keeping the hashtagged stuff in the top of the file and strangely enough retroarch stopped overwriting the files

@auswear Once I got the Shanwan controller actually paired it works flawlessly.Although it took nearly two months to get there,and without the most generous help of @luetzel and @BuZz it would NEVER have happened.It's absolutely crazy with this new controller I now have the exact opposite problem,the controller pairs fine and has a rock solid connection....but now the controls simply don't seem to be recognised!! I really cannot envisage spending another two months trying to get this working without actually being declared clinically insane.

@thechefpi123 nevermind my problem was solved here, apologies for wasting time

@BuZz It is interesting, are you running the latest version of akismet?
Maybe try going back a version if it was upgraded recently and see if the problem persists? I am also curious that so far only myself and @pimpmaul69 @edmaul69 have had this issue occur or at least we are the only two who bothered to report it. I would think this would be a much more widespread issue if it wasn't something specific to our accounts, IP addresses, posting habits, or something else unique to us.

@Floob Yep that was the trick. Downgraded to 2.67, removed the controllers, then re-paired them. Ran the setup in ES and all is working. Thanks again for the help.

@Floob said in Load/Save state in Zelda (SNES):

This may also help:

Those video's were quite helpful, the interval save is a nice feature, thanks Floob. :)

SOrted. Have to go into it SFTP.

@thrussmeister

I haven't given linux configuration software my full attention. I used WinIPAC to configure my older IPAC4, but you might not need to configure anything--unless you are planning to re-flash the firmware. The IPACs default to sending MAME keys for each player (although newer firmware apparently looks like a joypad instead of a keyboard).

I have done a LOT of per-game arcade configs on my 4-player cocktail setup and it's definitely easier using the actual pushbuttons and sticks as wired instead of trying to remember what control sends what key. So, I would say do this:

Figure out KEYBOARD vs. Joypad firmware first. Get support from Ultimarc as needed.
a. Deal with any Ultimarc configurations using WinIPAC if you need to. Wire the IPAC Configure emulators on the Pi.

Maybe the guys here can help you:

In the end I figured out how to grant the local pi account the necessary access to the samba share instead.
