FIX: https://raspberryblog.de/?p=1870, now works perfect.

@zipfixer i don't really understand this rebooting thing, but the way to change aspect ratios for some/all systems is via https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor

note: this is only for libretro ("lr-") emulators, which are basically all the defaults for each system. for n64.. depends which n64 emulator you are using.

Got it to work found out that the file never fully transferred over and thats why it wasn't showing up. Also if you use filezilla to transfer files over a ethernet cable make sure you use port number 22 or it will not let you connect to the pi

@talfr Hi,

I don't have a rc6_mce file or rc_keymaps folder....

where do I get it from?

i'm using the pidrive 1 TB edition for my picade with retropie.

i'm powering my whole picade, pidrive, screen, usb keyboard all with a single power adaptor (the official 3a one). Works perfect. Although i'm not using the berryboot SD card and i did not install the (retropie) system itselve on the harddisk but on a sd card. Only my roms and assets are located on the pidrive, this way i can easily swap systems and roms remain intact. I'm using the system from retropie toolkit to use my external disk as a roms storage. (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7780/loading-roms-from-usb-harddrive)

watch out this script uses http://eazyhax.com/pitime/expand_to_external_drive.sh and adds avoid_warnings=2 to /boot/config.txt so remove it afterwards or you won't get notified anymore about undervoltage and high temprature warnings !

So I wanna do some machines with Raspberry and Retropie to rent.

You didn't write retropie, you cannot use it to make money, it's not yours. It is a breach of the licence. It is illegal.

Thanks for the reply. I'll hold out for final release as I don't want to brick anything. SD are not cheap for a good high capacity one and 1 wrong move can easily kill them.

@edmaul69 Thanks mate, I will give it a go 😀👏👍

You can also put things in subfolders. So I might have all my Mario games in NES\Super Mario Brothers and SNES\Super Mario World, for example. That way I can see all the variants within a particular game, but at the root level, I'm just looking at the "base" game name. It makes scraping a little bit more difficult, but that's a different issue.

Thank you!
No I went back and grabbed a NO INTRO set, since there would be less/no redundant files this way.

One thing you can do to further reduce your no intro set of its redundancy, is produce a "1g1r" set from it (1 game, 1 region). If you download the appropriate P/clone xml DAT (from here http://datomatic.no-intro.org/?page=download&fun=xml ) and load it into Romcenter 3.7.1, you can point it to your rom directory and have it keep only a single version of each game based on your ordered preference of regions.

@darkblaster77 Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. How does yours compare to the one here https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Dreamcast ?

I feel your pain, though. I can't get a single button to work with my ps4 controller. There was one combination of settings that got the dpad working, but generally nothing.

Hmm. I followed your advice and copied the video-splashscreen over to /home/pi/splashscreens and changed the line in /etc/splashscreen.list accordingly. Strangely this doesn't work, the splashscreens never appears.

I even double- and triple-checked the paths and tried different folders, but the splashscreen won't show up.

Edit:

Just got it to work. After copying it over to /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/ to the default splashscreens and selecting it it works like a charm!

I am using a pi zero in combination with a 3.5 inch monitor via composite output of the pi
The emulator used is lr-gpsp

@atexplosion delete old gamelist.xml and rescrape. It's a bad ide to keep the old gamelist when doing a new scan.

@edmaul69 said in Doom and other ports, Controller not working, and XBOX 360 controller problem.:

@wilburburns so for zdoom you need to start with a keyboard or a mouse. inside of zdoom you need to go into option and the controller settings to turn on controllers, but in that same menu before you turn on the controller you need to disable the third and fourth analogs for your controller. Otherwise the controller goes crazy scrolling through the menus. Then there is another controls menu that you set up the buttons in. But you need to still use a keyboard and mouse for that. Once you are set up, moving through the menus with a controller are left and right instead of up and down if i recall.

Thanks, I'll try this tonight. Is it safe to assume the other Ported games such as Duke Nukem 3D should have a similar process to configure.
