, I haven’t modified the config.txt at all but I’ll see if I can post it (going to have to manually copy everything down because the pi zero 2 w can hardly use the web browser)

You can copy the file through SSH/WinSCP, there's no need to start a browser on the Pi. Even though you haven't modified the file yourself, an installer you've ran may have done so. Either way, please post the contents of the file.

Thanks again @sleve_mcdichael. This will make the identification of the culprit much easier, but there is a catch: I will be away for a few weeks, but will definitely fix this end of June.

I was just asking for the ES version, to test on the same version, not that I was thinking ES has an issue.

After some thinking, I guess my oversight that the gamelists may also reside inside ~/.emulationstation/gamelists/ could be the cause of some if not all issues.

Setting the gamelistFolder to the same as the inputFolder and copy the existing gamelists to the inputFolder (i.e. sibling to the games) could be a workaround. However, it is a guess, I did not verify it by myself.

@pindapoe

I had something similar to this and I had -x and -y arguments in the .commands file that was restricting the size of the video window. Take them out. But yeah, Hypseus all the way....

Whoohoo!

I got it back running once again!

It gave me much joy to see that the save file from the Final Fantasy game I've been playing on handheld showed up as available on my Pi!

I even said in my best hacker voice, "I'm in...." lol

At least I took excellent notes this time around in case another update is ever needed. :)

@Lolonois Tried apt list --installed | grep ^alsa but gave me a "command not found" error

I had to configure Audio Device to that way to make it work in Pi 5, maybe that is the problem with linapple?

You could try enabling manual texture sampling but make sure to use opemGl or else it wont work. That's how i solved it for resident evil 4 and MKDD

How is this related to RetroPie ? If your only usage of the Pi is for Kodi, then I'd recommend you install a Kodi distribution like LibreElec.

@nixzero said in How to save controller configurations to IMG backup?:

Does this provide any clues?

Not really, the Joy2key keyboard messages are ok since they're associated with the runcommand menu and the joy2key utility. However, the fact that there are no disconnects for your physical gamepads means their connection is fine - it's what the dmesg command was used for.

Now the issue is that when I try to configure my xbox controller, a hundred pop-up boxes appear alternating between "connected" and "disconnected."

@jmcdra said in If one were to install mednafen on retropie...:

I'm also noticing this input delay on RetroArch too

You should have started from there instead of making it look like a mednafen issue. In the first place, i can hardly make sense of using mednafen standalone to play nes games on rpi4, there are plenty of better options afaik.

Retroarch has the P+K method to measure input lag, and in my experience the nes cores usually have 0 frames of input lag (i.e. the game reacts at the frame right after pressing a button), there might be exceptions but i doubt it ever goes beyond 1 frame.

If you are experiencing huge input lag on nes emulation, then i can only suppose something unrelated to emulation is at work here, like display lag or something about your controllers.

Please ignore, I did what seemed most simple and plucked the functions I needed from the script and that seems to work.

Hm, seems like the the hid_nintendo driver has some issues with the 8Bitdo pretending to be a Switch Pro Controller. Thanks for the investigatio and write-up.

Generally, users use the XInput mode for 8Bitdo Pro(s) and use the hid_xpadneo driver, probably that's why there haven't been so many reports similar to yours.
