Looks like a good use case for git on LAN? You can tag or branch your config sets rolled out for other machines than yours. Later merge all your latest and greatest changes from your machine into the friends' branches from time to time. If something breaks you can easily go back in time.

Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Use the Android mode to pair the controller and do the configuration in EmulationStation in this mode. What games/emulators are not working with the gamepad ? Did you install other drivers from RetroPie-Setup ?

@mitu

In emulation station go to raspi config..look for display and you can set all consoles to play full screen or whatever size screen you want

@stephenrossi20 said in N64 games running slow on Rasberry Pi 4..Help!!:

is there a way to make them run more smooth?? all options are on the table

Overclock your GPU and via the Runcommand, select a recommended N64 Emulator, Resolution, Setting per Rom/Game as detailed in this list below ...

@arcuza care tp help a mate run n64 games better? I am so lost..thank you

Update with more information. So if I switch to a different TV the audio problem vanishes and it works fine without unplugging and repluging. However a different issue shows it self on the new tv. Emulation station flashes black randomly it seems to occur more during heavy scrolling and subsides if i am not moving around in emulation station at all. But in game everything works fine. Thoughts or ideas?

@mitu All set! Thank you so much!

@erbright said in Unable To Backup RetroPie Image:

Win32DiskImager - Doesn’t work. I create the image and try to mount it to make sure it works and Windows tells me it's corrupted. This happens over and over again.

This is all you needed to do, it did work, you just can't mount it under Windows.

@roslof Thanks! I've figured out to change the .ini file so I've got full control now. :)

Those solutions are not good enough for my project.
I simply want to read two buttons, if Button 1 is pressed, the PI should switch the Display Rotation to 0, if Button 2 is pressed, it should be 180degree.

Not SplitScreen, just rotating.

There must be a simple Solution with Python i think.

Any ideas?

@darksavior said in Neogeo games won't run:

I'm not sure why someone that has no idea how roms work would make a tutorial about it

To make money... and as you said, this guy probably doesn't understand what he is doing, he is only succeeding by sheer luck...

@soren several issues with that video :

it's outdated, FBAlpha is now FBNeo it doesn't cover the most important aspect of arcade emulation : romset validation

Pressing select is equivalent to the screensaver-start event, sleep is triggered after the configured timeout.

@jamiem1976
It appears you are using a recalbox image instead of a retropie image. You might want to ask your question on their forums instead.

@phane said in Sixaxis dies after a few minutes, takes BT with it, requires reboot to reconnect:

What rate should I change (there are three in the file based on some if statements I don't understand) and what would be a good setting to reduce it to?

Change the 921600 value and halve it to 460800 (then 230400, 115200 etc.).

mmmmmm... slowly i begin to understand better how all works :)

@drdave79 Any help is appreciated!

@soren , that's great that it works! Your post made me think of another post where someone said that they have spent more time installing the Raspberry pi than actually playing on it. It was quite the hassle to make it work but well I guess that's life, what is good usually takes some effort. Again, I am glad it now works for you =)

@quicksilver They are! more so than i thought they'd be. It's not ready for prime time to the extent that all the titles seem to have slowdowns or small rendering issues, but so far Scud Race, Sega Rally 2, Virtua Fighter 3 and Spikeout have all been immensely playable.
