DRI3 was the problem.

Isn't this a runtime settings for your X.org configuration ?

Actually I think it's part of the graphics or at least shader profile being used in mesa.
I have padoka's bleeding edge repository in use.. Otherwise known as unstable.
So things can go awry.. Like they did until I took a gander at the Makefile, saw some unused options, put 1 + 1 together and made some edits.. It worked a out beautifully.
Especially on the Flycast-Wince emu with the same Makefile edits. I'm playing Sega Rally 2 on 2x internal resolution, 2x br and a 4x pass xbr shaders without one hiccup.

Keep in mind this my first run with retropie x86. I decided to make small form factor emu box a month or so ago and gripped up a coffee lake NUC to guinea pig with. So everything is trial & error as I run with it.

@rsn8887 https://github.com/taalas/RetroPie-Artwork

Taalas and I worked on those, we had originally discussed including them on retroarch docs but retroarch was (is?) Still tweaking their input configs and you can have multiple retropad configs for the same console if you're using two diff emulators. It was hard to keep up/stay consistent with development as it seemed to change quite frequently.

The licences are gpl so there isn't any reason they couldn't be used on their docs as well but may be worth reaching out to whoever maintains their docs to make sure it fits their style guide/standards. I'm afraid I have other priorities as of recent and can't carry it on so happy for others to do so

@deadherring Looks fine. ApplePi Baker will write the image without the need to format (I don't think it knows to format the card).

@Crispy Success. If anything fails then reflash RetroPie and update. It usually works every time. Your welcome. :-)

I had the same problem. The navigation sound work but with delay, i press bottom and the sound play 2 seconds later. The video screen saver is not heard. The volume control although it changes it stays at zero. But the sound in the games is good.
I have tried all the options of "Audio Card" "Audio Device", but the only one I hear something is heard with a lot of lag.
This happened to me after I had updated the Emulation Station. Before updating it worked fine.

Is there any way to fix it?

@mitu Thanks! Listing them as hidden in windows before uploading them didn't work but putting the . before the file name did! Thanks for the help, I'm a dummy when it comes to linux :) #gratitude

FYI for anyone else doing this, after renaming the files I had to make sure the 'show hidden games' option was off and then restart emulationstation for it to take effect

Yeah, I've tested on a vanilla installation. The audio just is the same all round. :(

@TheBlueBanner said in USB HUB not detecting Joysticks:

https://thepihut.com/products/4-port-usb-hub-usb-2-0.

So, I received this USB hub. It worked! The only issue I have is that there doesn't seem to be enough power going to the LED lights, and they are dimmer than what I would like. I am not sure if there is anything I can do, but it worked none the less.

@dankcushions said in batch scan rom: keep good and remove bad?:

why would a game not start? that shouldn’t happen.

We don't even know what system the OP is talking about : assuming he is talking about arcade and he has read the arcade documentation to pick the right romsets for the emulator he is using, there is still the issue of non-working games, however removing those non-working games might lead to more non-working games (case of the non-working parents with working clones) if he is using split romsets.

i will try adding <theme>fighting</theme> hope this works.
currently the home theme is set to carbon so do i change anything in emulationstation\themes\Carbon\theme name\FILENAME.svg.

@ian02293 That link lays out the basics of what you will need to do. But if you want a custom image you will need to make it yourself with art program like Photoshop; or if you need something free try https://www.gimp.org/

Once you have the image you want you will need to export it as, or convert it to, an SVG file-type. Then you just put it into the proper folder as described in that tutorial.

@Becciboo81 Well, RetroPie doesn't include any BGM music scripts - so you must have installed 2 scripts that play at once.

Check the usual places for startup scripts:

/etc/rc.local (you'll need to use sudo to edit this file). /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

and remove one of the BGM scripts.

To reply to my own post with more info...I believe this to be a bug with the Mednafen core and/or Retroarch. Possibly moreso Retroarch

Using the Vulkan renderer worked great for a while then all the sudden mid game my battle swirl went away and all i get now is a black screen with this as well. Same with the GL renderer as mentioned before if this is what you're reading. I replicated the same scenario with another device as well...

The swirls work fine initially then stopped working entirely for some unknown cause however i was reading this issue which had a very valid workaround:
Github-beetle

If on both OpenGL and Vulkan you want your battle swirlies and they just stopped working start the game, toggle ANY option on and off in Retroarch then resume the game and everything is fine. I cant believe i had not even tried that even by accident...

Edit: I ended up recording a video of this along with what actually works as a fix. Keep in mind there are NO core overrides and this is with stock retroarch settings which use OpenGL.

Cool.

Thanks
I'll hold of putting me new build together for now then and keep using the current one until buster/retropie release.

At least Debian only release new major releases every 2 years unlike some other distros

THanks !
Worked ! :)

Skyscraper has been very effective.
