@chubsta Anytime. Something else that may be useful to you is adjusting the crf value, sometimes called constant quality. A setting of 22 is usually default but that will make large videos that look good full screen, if its just going to be in the corner of your theme you may want to go with a higher value. I use crf 28 (the higher the value the lower the quality) This brought ~100gb worth of videos down to just over 32gb

@camjrp You need to install it first, then follow the documentation on how to configure your es_systems.cfg so that it starts RetroArch with the right cores on the SNES/PSX games.
As an example, RetroPie uses something like

retroarch -L <PATH_TO_CORES>/snes9x_libretro.so %ROM%"

to start RetroArch with the right Libretro core for the SNES system.

Hi, I asked the developer of lr-caprice32 if he would add save states to the core and he has now kindly implemented them.

https://github.com/libretro/libretro-cap32/commit/8dc1fe206abc480cfd55c419a4f24f227495488b

You can enable this functionality by running the "update from source" option for lr-caprice32 under RetroPie setup.

@pengu1n said in Does Retropie 4.4 Run on the CM3+ Lite?:

I ran into a login prompt at the console on reboot though...which was strange

That happens when systemd is updated - a known Raspbian behavior - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#why-emulationstation-doesnt-start-automatically-after-an-update.

@BillyH You can also press F4 and type the following command: df -h /
This will show you how big the sd card is and how much space is left.

Also if your Pi is conntected to Wifi, then you can open Windows explorer on your computer and type \\RETROPIE in the top bar to see what is inside the roms and bios folders (and make changes).

@kavin_steele Thanks for sharing your solution for others who might have the same problem.

Appreciate your help, got in with the last command! When I go to scrape now I get this error for quite a few games. ERR: error processing /home/arcade/RetroPie/roms/gamegear/Arena (USA, Europe).gg: hash not found

@mitu @GoldManSex778 - Thanks for the advice. I converted with handbrake, basically opened the video in h/b and ran it through without messing around with the settings.
Now both the portrait and landscape videos display with the correct aspect ratio and work with omxplayer
Thanks so much.

@mitu Tested, confirmed working with Universal XML scraper

@mitu ok I will read and review the post you sent me, as always thank you for the asist best regards wolfzrat

@brunozero You can just use the .PBP file.

OK, I found a workaround for this problem - which seems similar to this issue.
Edit the /etc/default/console-setup file (sudo nano /etc/default/console-setup) and change the

CHARMAP="UTF8"

to

CHARMAP="ISO-8859-1"

then reboot. After that, the game should run with the correct characters.

I don't know if this is the best way, but I did figure out how to change it for this game and disable RetroArch saves to eliminate accidental overwriting. In case anyone else needs this in the future:

Create config file based on instructions from here, name will be [ROM NAME with Extension].cfg

In that file paste the following with the hotkey button of your choice:

#Change Hotkey for this game only input_enable_hotkey_btn = 3 #Disable RetroArch saves input_save_state_btn = null input_load_state_btn = null # Never save-on-exit after an override config # or the override will make into the core config. config_save_on_exit = false

The problem is in retroarch itself there is threads on here how to patch it to work, or just update to 1.7.6. I have no idea why your not updating your system.

@Amishgamer
I just tested it again, with a few different systems, It does kind of squish the box, especially segacd, maybe a 640x640 square would be better. I'm sorry I'm not very good at this artwork.xml, I cant find a way around skyscrapers, compositing the boxart, even though all that it needs is for "cover" to be redirected to "screenshot". Did you try the built-in scraper?

It depends on how you're trying to set up the bezels. You can, in theory, put the .cfg anywhere and then point to it for each game. Or create an individual .cfg for each game. So it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish and how you are going to accomplish it.

I started messing around with individual bezels for arcade (and other) games, but then I stumbled across the Bezel Project. They have a preconfigured set of bezels for literally thousands of games (I count over 7000 games). You can also install bezels for individual systems. The only annoyance is that the roms need to be named according to the No-Intro naming convention, however this only affects console roms. Arcade roms are supported by their standard rom names.

You can see a video on The Bezel Project here:

You can get The Bezel Project script here:
https://github.com/thebezelproject/BezelProject

Once you're installed reboot and you can install bezels for individual systems through the Retropie Configurations in the standard menu.

@Efriim Batocera is very similar to Recalbox, since it was started by a former Recalbox team member - so I'd expect them to be very close.
