@sugarfree Well, I wasn't quite sure what I did was right and I don't know the terminology too well, but I cloned the Raspberry Pi kernel, modified only the lines of code mentioned in the workaround (the file being vc4_v3d.c), then compiled and installed the kernel. It might have been just dumb luck that this worked, and my problem may have been something else entirely.

@mitu said in joy2key does not start in RetroPie dialog menus:

Isn't Java supposed to run on any system with a JVM available ? Which is the source of the package ?

Yes, but I tested it and it was not working. And I read it too, for example here.

I am going to test it on the newest Bookworm version tomorrow.

Thanks!

@LilaQ Option 2 adding the -ctrl2 joy to your command line should add the 2nd controller every time you load up a game.

@TPR said in Mesa Shader Cache - Can I delete this?:
You could rename the mesa_shader_cache first before you remove it.
Then you can always remove it later if you find that there are no problems.
Good idea ?

Yep. Very good idea. I'll rename it to see if there is any issues and if there are I'll just rename it back.

@JimmyFromTheBay

I read that most of these games are ported from MSX.
The story goes that in order to make porting easier the SGM module has a Yamaha music chip that is the same as used in MSX.

So why not run the original game on MSX ?

@Ranma doesn't log level 0 remove all text?

@umxp02 Hello thread from long ago :)

I ended up moving to Batocera with my Pi 4 and had no issues with screens at all. I eventually got a Pi 5 for Batocera.

My Pi 4... I repurposed it to run Plex, and don't need a screen since I can control it from my Mac.

Yeah this issue was a brain buster, so I'm happy I moved on.

Thank you for sharing this. It applies to Ubuntu 24.04 too.

@mitu Well, if something worked incl. mouse orientation in the past (hdmi_rotate=..., config.txt) and then stops (rotate=..., cmdline.txt) working it is IMHO a regression as the foundation is still issuing the Rpi Kernel and firmware.

Anyhow, using xrandr or wlrandr is not an option as I don't want to configure X/Wayland for SDL based emulators I have in use.

It seems I have to table it at the Raspberry Pi forum.

@sugarfree @capcob
I think I Hardcore derped...

I've yet to open my HAT, but have built and put the pi in the case shown.. ..
This is what I had bought for my SSD

I didn't realize it went beneath the PI.. will that cause any issues?
I've not bothered doing anything since I am waiting for the PI5 Pre-Made Build

Configuration editor will not help here. You can use jstest to check that each encoder outputs an identical input code for the same button.
Running jstest /dev/input/jsX will show you the inputs on the encoder and you can press all the inputs to see how they're recorded. Replace X with 0 to 3 and you should be able to test each of the 4 encoders. Interrupt the test by pressing Ctrl + C.

@Lolonois I was with you all the way up to the word "binaries".

@Chilred said in Sinden on RetroPi does not start:

This one.

This is not a stock RetroPie image/installation - I advise you to ask the author of the image/scripts for help, since we don't know how those extra scripts work.

@fatfrog said in Issues with Quick Menu in fbalpha2012:

I have a lcd 4:3 monitor

Those monitors are very old and usually only accept analog video inputs, meaning your rpi3 is not connected to your screen by some standard hdmi here ? It'd be nice to not have to guess everything about your setup...

Again, this screenshot you posted looks typical of frequency/vsync issues, most likely due to the unusual screen setup and those 3 games not being 60hz games. It's not really surprising mame2003 doesn't have this kind of problem since back in 2003 most games were emulated inaccurately at the wrong speed of 60hz.

One thing you could try is to use the "Force 60Hz" core option in FBNeo, that core option will force every game to run at 60hz, but you'd need to be able to use retroarch's menu to do that. Maybe you could try launching a game that is still running at 60hz in FBNeo, like dkong, and change the core option from there.

Thank you so much, it worked!! 👍👍👍

@mr-simonski were you able to find a solution to your issue? I have the same issue where the startup audio is perfect but the game selection and in game are distorted to the point of being incomprehensible.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
