Got the problem figured out. It was PEBCAK apparently. Not to be confused with ID10T errors. I had to pull the games out of the .7z archives then all worked well. My wife is so happy she gets to play vectrex!

@DolphinCube said in Retroarch wont save after saving in-game a couple of times:

Certain games I played still has this issue. Especially with my n64 games. I think a fix is that when the system creates a new srm (for gba games). I have to manually delete it after the first save then reset the permissions of the roms folder for retropie using the retropie setup script.

That's weird, there's nothing that changes permissions during gameplay, all emulators/ports are run as the pi user. Did you modify the launching command to run as another user ?

But the configuration file error is still an issue

Why do you need to save the config file ? As a workaround, you can save a game/core override with the settings that you wish to change.

@ecir1299
fastest and easiest way is to burn a download ready-to-go image on the sd

@lfcfooty
@DanTarl solution didnt worket?

@mitu The price of 11.90 € / 10.46 £ seems reasonable. Order is placed and it’s on its way to me now. Thanks for the recommendation!

@Crush This worked for me in 2023

@mitu said in about lr-flycast with new core:

@kounabi22 Sadly no, I've been testing various variants/versions so that it would work on both Pi3 and Pi4 but due to the lack of free time, I haven't found a solution. I'll have some more free time this summer, so I want to get back to updating the module and adding the standalone flycast instead of reicast.

Any luck to make it work on both pi?

@windg hoooo ok i thought it was fully supported and i even got the 64bit version of bullseye. Is there any way i could still have it working ??

it's retropie + attract mode + hyperspin theme + piemarquee2 but i resolve starting it over from the beginning and the problem is gone
dont know why but now it work

thank you

Thanks for the confirmation.

I also just found this:

I'd rather not change it and build my own version.

@raspberry79 said in display issue:

Is there a site that tells u what each folder is.

You can find it here or by looking in the emulator's doc page.

@roslof Thanks for testing/confirming the fix.

I must admit, it is not really a backward compatibility but restoring a functionality I accidentally scrapped with the last optimization roughly three weeks ago (before this fix). TIL it was designed by Aloshi this way. However it does not document the behaviour when h is greater than lineSpacing. I am currently updating the themes page of the RetroPie Docs to put more emphasis on this text+size thing.

For the wrap of Manager to the next line: IIRC you moved from 16:9 to 4:3 of epic noir didn't you (if not branch wise than at least display wise)? In any case: You may give the longdescription in the toplevel theme.xml of epic noir a little more x-space (<size> value is in percentage of total screenwidth) to keep the Manager on the same line (Ctrl-t and Ctrl-r are your friends). So no need for wordsmithing.

PS: It was the maintainer @pjft who did the merge, thanks.

@beudbeud Thank you, I might give it a try. I now have the software from the Pi2Jamma guys installed, called "regamebox". But its just not as good, imho.

@raspberry79 said in not showing all option:

So, it not showing all the options in the list.

It is, you just misunderstand what the number represents. Before you scroll, 71% of the list is visible on one page. The remaining 29% (to get to 100) requires you to scroll down. That is all.

@jamietuley my first question is if this a RetroPie build image or did this come from something else. Honestly, hissing is something I've never had an issue with with any of the 4 Pi3bs I own, nor was it a problem with my Pi2 before.

I don't know why you would have needed to alter any config file for the sound. It's better not to play around with any of the base configs and just use the menu to turn things on and off. You can try the Raspi-config menu and see if anything regarding sound is not active. But I think the Audio selection in the RetroPie setup does the same.

Anything above that is above my skill level. I've not experienced the issue you're having, nor did I have to play around with the config file to get anything to work. I used the menus only.

Sorry

@Raks1981 I'm happy to help you 😃
Yes, I can play every psx, nintendo 64, gameboy, master system and arcade (mame) games very smoothly. Recently I added a graphic card and i also can play ps2 games.

@mitu Thank you!

It's possible I'm confused by the implementation vs. the Raspberry Pi version...EmulationStation uses X11 on x86? I assumed no, and that was my whole motivation for not doing so (plus the obvious memory and time burn from launching an X display you aren't going to use anyway). If that's not the case, it sounds like xrandr is absolutely the way to go (and the closest analog to what I'm doing today).

onstart will almost certainly be required, because my display lies and says it can't do PAL ;)

@mitu
tried that dtoverlay:

dtoverlay=max98357a,no-sdmode

because i don't have any pin attached to sd pin, but i have the same behavior: no audio, only pops and noise

@mike855 thanks for confirming. Could you pls add [solved] to this topic (1st post in the subject line).

For others stumbling across this and won't/can't update to ES-development: You may also set the option Use full page with LR/LB to off in the Main Menu -> UI Options, when off this effect described initially should not occour.
