In case you have not found it yet by yourself: [1] discusses this.

TL;DR you will need some extra circuits (monostable circuit or timer IC NE556) to do this.

And in addition to the StackExchange post you will also need a circuit for the falling edge of the latched switch.

Then you can use the "momentary switch approach" [2]

@sleve_mcdichael testing looks good on my side, I have fixed the root cause and the knock-on effects.

The issue with ES is special (replacing the absolute $HOME path with ~ in a gamelist file when absolute paths used) but it is okay: I deal with it in Skyscraper from now.

Could you please test this branch [1] with your config for ES frontend as time permits?

Thanks for reporting back, then I can ship 3.17.4.

This means the system is not powerfull enough to emulate the game/system at full speed. Given it's a Pi3, it's not unusual since N64 emulation is not fullspeed on it.

I have been using Clonzilla for years and it never let me down.

I run it from an live USB stick on my Desktop PC. It has some learning curve but you will find a lot of tutorials online. Running "disk to local image" to backup and "local image to disk" to restore with the defaults should be enough as a start.

As long as the source hardware from where you make the backup and the target restore hardware are the same make and model it should go smooth (i.e. Rpi4 -> Rpi4, SD-card make and model can differ but obviously the size of the target should be same as source or larger).

I assume you only use the SD card for RetroPie and not a mix of SD-card and SSD drive for RetroPie.

Do you use a SD-Card reader via USB in your Desktop PC or is the SD card directly put into the PC's SD-card reader? (I am asking as I have seen USB SD-Card readers failing).

@fscii said in remove game launch screen with rom title + emulator retropie 4.8:

So the big question here is can I remap keys in retroarch for a given game? If I do, I can't do the save to core thing? Do I have to do it every time. I'm just trying to avoid this mess again.

Remaps should be fine to save from within RetroArch since they save to a different file than retroarch.cfg and so won't interfere with the RetroPie's custom configuration in that file.

Thanks for the help and advice so far

I did manage to resolve this by -

1). Installing the PINN multi-boot software from the Raspberry Pi Imager

2). Using PINN software to set-up a dual boot set-up on the SD card

3). Installing -

3.1. Raspberry Pi OS
3.2. Retropie OS

4). Adding the various games and ROMS that I wanted on each OS / partition.

@Breeliance Then the issue is not in Linux/RetroPie/OS Configuration, but in OBS/Discord. I don't have any experience with any of them to guess what could be the problem.

@mitu I use custom theme based on Pixel-Metadata. I have always seen this behavior on any version, on Pi3, Pi4, and Pi5, with Pixel, Carbon 2021 and others themes.

I think it's a feature to avoid interrupting the video when we browse CD1 and CD2 of the same game on a list.

@mitu thanks for the reply and great suggestions I hadn't considered!

As it turns out, I was mistaken. The pacman.zip file was not in my roms folder. I won't get into the details since this is a sensitive topic (regarding legal gray areas and fair use arguments) but suffice to say, way back ~20 years when I started this hobby, I had to hunt for the original zip file and I never included it in my archive of the internet archive 0.256 rom set.

Still don't understand why it's not part of the merged roms internet archive.

I think for the best Bluetooth Audio experience you may need the latest RaspiOS (not the version which is included in the RetroPie image) and - instead of PulseAudio - use Pipewire as audio server.

You can easily test for latency/lag by writing the latest RaspiOS Destkop image and connnect your speakers via Bluetooth to test things.

@gvx64

Nice work! Do you think we should create a "Borked 3DS" thread on Retropie ?

@mitu said in No sound on Raspberry Pi 5:

Did you went through the Sound menu (in the RetroPie system) to configure your audio output ? If not, then try setting it first.

I tried it but it didn't work. After googling for a long time I found out that I had to install emulationstation-dev and now it works.

@mitu said in Retropie not working after reboot: gunspin

Maybe the SDcard is corrupted and the file cannot be read correctly, you can remove the file (it will be re-created by EmulationStation) and try restarting the system again.

Thanks I will try to fix it according to your idea

@mitu Thanks, I hadn't really considered support with the Retroflag case, and while it looks like the patches it uses probably work whatever the OS version (provided it meets some basic requirements), I am probably best off using the Buster image, at least first go. I'll try that. Thanks!
