So yeah, that was it. Add the udev rule and trigger udev. Hey, the controller wiki really needs to be updated with the ps4 controller.

@kainwotan I have the same problem. did you solve the problem ?

ok so further testing. If i use adafruit retrogame, i see Joy2key appear in Top at about 20% cpu, then after a few seconds it disappears.

Using my own code, Joy2key does the same 20% ish cpu for a few seconds, then it will sit at about 4% cup for as long as im playing a game. it actually remains even when i close the emulator (start + select)

pi@retropie:~ $ udevadm info /dev/input/event0 P: /devices/virtual/input/input0/event0 N: input/event0 E: DEVNAME=/dev/input/event0 E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/input/input0/event0 E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK=1 E: ID_INPUT_KEY=1 E: ID_SERIAL=noserial E: MAJOR=13 E: MINOR=64 E: SUBSYSTEM=input E: TAGS=:seat:uaccess: E: USEC_INITIALIZED=16949167 pi@retropie:~ $ dmesg | grep -i input [ 16.015469] input: TinyPi-Pro as /devices/virtual/input/input0

Ok thank you I get you now.
I have a big collection of bezels that of got over the years but they are all curved.
Where would I get some basic non curved ones.
Thanks

@jamaisviciara do not post the same question on multiple old threads. You should start a new topic - Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

We'll the power saving features seem to be doing the job. I've been monitoring for the last 24 hours checking temps cpu usage etc and putting power saving onto default, emulation station appears to be not using a lot of cpu anymore when I check with the top command so with that in mind I'll just keep in running all the time.
Thanks for the help guys :)

@mitu for more portage with opengl support (exagear and others)

@Rameshsalvi Please don't open multiple topics for the same question. I've merged the topics into a single one.

As it turns out, the board with the safe shutdown circuitry was missing a resistor near the fan header, so the path that needed to be made to induce the script was not being completed. Retroflag was kind enough to send a replacement board, and now it works perfectly. No script modifications required. See the included picture for details.alt text

@park757 try the official PSU as recommended. One without an in-line switch.

@teller B-Em uses the library Allegro 4.x and other libraries so I think it would need Raspbian installed.

As far as I know yes but they are community fixes. Nothing got implemented officially by now to fix this.

Just took me a quick search on here.

@SpudsMcToole said in Is it possible to reinstall an older version of an emulator?:

Fortunately, in the last possible attempt before having to type lines like THAT, I got it all working...

Very nice! Glad to hear everything's working now. Something to keep in mind for future endeavors is that no one actually types command lines like the ones listed above, as there would be too much margin for error. For situations like that, a quick copy and paste into a remote ssh session will save finger cramping and your sanity.

@mitu It was just an issue with size! after using the cdmi it worked! Thank you so much!

Hi,
I can confirm this does actually work.
Re-tried it when the little one went to bed last night.
Things are always easier when she constantly under my feet lol.
Thanks

@AtTheArcade you don't have audio and it crashes because the audio settings changed. You need to go to the settings (start menu), audio settings and you'll see an option that's empty, with just the arrows. You'll need to select something there.

I probably should look into a small upgrade path for that change.
