There was a bug with the RPi 3 bluetooth but it was fixed in kernel 4.4 and RetroPie 3.8. Apart from that I am not aware of bugs with Playstation controllers. If you are still experiencing problems, post your Kodi log and the output of dmesg.

It didn't like something. I no longer use save on exit and just save new configs and edit the files if needed.

You can use the configuration editor from the RetroPie menu to adjust most common RetroArch settings.

I had that issue early on before I learned to manually edit files. Not sure if I just missed something easy back then or what. In the end, once I learned to manually edit, it was easier to understand the underlying fie structure and how things worked. Now, it's second nature to make changes either via the files or the retroarch configs within ES.

Great reminder that you can edit stuff within the menus (I'm just oldschool, so SSH is comfortable).

@BuZz, @username97
A little late to the party here, but in case it helps anyone else, I've written a comprehensive guide to installing RetroPie manually on top of Raspbian, including the changes introduced in the new, far more flexible, version 4 Retropie-setup script:

RetroPie Manual Installation Guide, including the Version 4 Setup Script Revised Menu Structure

It doesn't say packets. It says "Packages" - which is a pretty common term.

thanks herb, yes i got it working and added games for some reason i can't add all the spectrum games but did all the c64 with no problem. my only new issue now is the controls...spectrum the controller i have works fine but not easy to get back to the retropie menu...c64 controller does not work and keys are so scatted i don't which to press and only way to return to retropie is to unplug the pi.

at least i am almost there :)

you can save every time you exit - it's a retroarch/libretro function. however there is currently an outstanding issue with it: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3049

@PetroRie I did the updaate as per BuZz recommendation and it worked for me

@BuZz Thank you very much, worked very well. Note that I did the binary update right after a clean SD install

Sorry, I just don't want to trash on this forum.

Fixed it. I installed Lakka instead. (www.lakka.tv). Worked 100% perfectly first try.

@eddyman1us I can look at the quoting/escaping. In the meantime you can always adjust the essid. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I finally gave up and just reinstalled Retropie and now it's all working.

You could try setting up your wifi from the command line and reboot your RPi. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md

@vincedj Could you edit your comment to add formatting?

@dankcushions thanks mate! that was the problem :)

now playing uridium on the tv. :)

@dankcushions said in No luck overclocking Retropie with Raspberry Pi 3:

@mrbwa1 n64 (HLE) emulation isn't CPU intensive really. look at top command when it's running. it's GPU - that's why lowering resolution helps.

it is certainly using hardware rendering, though

Looks like it's tome for me to look back at what's being used. Certainly, trying to render at 1080p is going to use a lot more GPU than 480p. And if someone doesn't like the look @ 480p, they should look at the original N64 hardware running through a flat screen! (S-video helps a lot: that or having the $$ and hardware to do the HDMI and RGB mods.)

To sum up my thoughts: N64 emulation is really hard and it's not the hardware itself that seems to be the limiting factor. The actual emulation is extremely difficult.

Awesome thanks. Ive got it all sorted and my screen is flipped, Love the raspberry Pi. Thanks for the help!
