Are you sure your audio cable is not damaged ? You could check that the Headphone output is not muted - check if there's an 'M' under the volume slider in alsamixer.

@mitu Ah okay, im really sorry I'm so new to this I expected them to be BUTTON,

No worries, you're doing great so far.

@Mrakobijes said in trying to use KMS driver yields no composite video output (Raspberry Pi 4):

dtoverlay-vc4-kms-v3d-pi4,composite=1

This looks like a mis-spelling, it should be just:

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,composite=1

and you should start with stock config.txt, instead of the one you're using, which has too many overclocking options which may conflict.

Note that this configuration is not fully supported by RetroPie yet and for the KMS driver is recommended to use an up-to-date Linux kernel/firmware.

@testudo said in Retroarch not registering MIDI Soundfont Files for DosBox-Pure:

@roslof Thanks for the suggestion. I removed all but one SoundFont file from the <system> folder and also removed the Gravis Ultrasound folder/files from the <rom> folder as an added check. Unfortunately, no change. Retroarch is still not registering the single remaining .sf2 file.

I don't want to steer you wrong, but this still sounds like the same problem I had. It was scanning other folders (not just the pc folder) and finding .sf2 files. One of which was 512MB and its mere existence prevented the pull-down from displaying properly. Are you certain there isn't a lingering .sf2 hanging out in a scummvm folder or something?

@roslof I do have other .sf2 files spread throughout usr/share/sounds/sf2 and scumm/extras folders. I'll give renaming them a go and see if that does the trick.

I have a Rpi4 with Argon Neo metal case (passive cooling) and i never had an overheating so far, even with the most demanding emulator (Yabashansiro). I don't use shaders or overclocking that increase signifally the temperature.
I had and a Pi400, temperatures here are lower with the same conditions.

@10vorne Yes, there is the Mayflash DC to USB Adapter, but it somehow can't map the C and the Z button. This way you only have 4 functional buttons, which might be enough for a lot of games.
Then there is the raphnet adapter (especially the internal one) where you can make a total conversion of the arcade stick. But shipping to Germany is expensive...

Hello @Chito , I'm lead project of a small free software that "generate" scanlines effect for pc games. I'm working on a new design and i need to ask you, would you agree that I use your beautiful Game Gear overlay you made please ?

Here is the design :

Here is a link to the software : https://s4windows.itch.io/scanlines-for-windows
Fingers crossed 🤞
i'll be able to credit you in a .txt file inside the software folder, maybe on youtube (description) and maybe on itch..io if i find a good spot ( i'm totally new on this website)

Have a nice day,

@ddragunsun The official pi4 power supply is usb-c 5.1V 3A. Not 12V. It will not fit on that particular board that requires micro usb psu. If you still get voltage issues with a micro usb 5.1 2.5A/3A then the board might not provide sufficient power. I'm not sure why the older micro usb port was used..maybe to save money on development costs.

Thanks. I modified pc/emulators.cfg to point to the installed dosbox, and it works. I am still working on setting up dosbox-staging, but it looks like that is going to work also.

@goestohollywood Don't worry about the order in the file: ES is always shuffling that around anyway if you have 'save metadata' enabled. The list SHOULD be in alphabetical order inside ES either way (or else it's conforming to any <sortname> tags you might have).

@Foolz I haven't had problems on my pi haven't updated it but my PC version seems to be having these issues. Not sure if it has to do with a core update for flycast.

@AlphaBetaPie Why not use kid mode? It locks everything away behind that trusty konami code.

@Addison your are welcome!
And feel free to add me to your friendlist :)

@mitu Thank you very much! It works!

@barbudreadmon Thank you very much.
