It was that indeed. Sorry, I had forgotten that I had a previous emulationstation (yes, from Ubuntu repos) install in the machine. I just re-installed the machine, and got everything from the RetroPie-Setup script this time. It works like a charm!

Thanks a lot for you help!

I´m learning too to do some things, but Thank you anyway.

Hello good night, could you help me I'm new and I don't understand the forum, I have this problem

There's no need to re-post the same information twice or post in other topics to get my attention.
Please read https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and provide the information asked there, as much as you can - this will help us understand what's wrong with your setup.

Ahh I get it. I thought the quick menu was the core options. I'm still finding my way around - there's a ton to retroarch!

Regarding runahead, I gave https://docs.libretro.com/guides/runahead/ a good read. I didn't try calculating the amount of runahead needed to offset the latency, but I just tried it set to 1 and the game and audio stutters. My Pi is currently setup stock speed if that matters.

Also, if I enable a second instance in there, I get Failed to create second instance.

Found the retroarch config thanks for the fps. So many places to set stuff.

Cheers!

When filtering, to create a new list (for example all CPS1 games or all the konami beat-em-up games), do you have a way to select multiple games or do you have to scroll the filtered list and add each title one by one?

Other frontends on Windows for example are able to create customized lists with few clicks, so I hope this is possible on Emulationstation too.

Hi, given the line bios_boot failed to copy bootfile I believe the rom you're using is corrupt. It's failing to find the 1ST_READ.BIN on the disc.

Don't worry. I don't know what I did what now It works great.
Thank you for your help anyway!!

@mitu That worked! Hero! Thanks for your quick replies!

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

What controller type/model are you using ?

@jamietuley said in Starting again.. New Pi image with Attract mode more recent than Floobs?:

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro
Was that the right folder to place my roms in? They are from a 0.78 set - emulation station can see them but not attract mode?

I can't help you with attract-mode setup, I'm not using it. I think you need to add the folder yourself and scan it for ROMs.

I did wonder if the system volume at 0% was the issue but that's something that just wont save when I set it higher?

If you disabled the on-board sound and your USB soundcard is the only output option, then the in EmulationStation the Audio Card should be set to 'Defaut' and the Default Device to PCM or Master (?). But the settings here affect only EmulationStation and not AttractMode or the emulators, so if you're not using EmulationStation, it's ok to leave them at defaults.

If you're using berryboot, that has its own config.txt

Berryboot isn't supported btw, and we don't provide berryboot images for the rpi4. I wasn't sure if you meant above you installed the standard image to test after.

@mitu nvm, I shall just reflash the retropie pre-built image.

Tate mode doesn't auto-rotate. TATE mode adjusts the screen to fill your monitor. What you need to do is is specify the exact rotation you want for each game you need to and make a game-specific config file for it. If you have auto-rotation on and auto-rotate on, you will get some weird results. Auto-rotation should be turned off when using TATE mode (setting allow_video_rotate = false). Some games will need 180 degree rotation. You'll have to decide which end of your monitor you will consider your base (the one that will be the bottom edge when you spin it).

For each game you want to have in cocktail mode, you will likely need a cfg file with the setting
video_rotation = 2
for games that need to be flipped. Set it to 0 (or don't write a cfg) for games that sit the right way from the get go.

This post was greatly helpful for me when I was doing my cocktail setup: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/39024

@phelix01 Please provide info requested here as already requested earlier https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Is there a reason you are ignoring this request? We cant help you unless you give us all the info. What type of monitor/display are you using?

@mitu This worked perfectly, thank you for all of your help. :)

@nightbirdmedia said in Overclocked Raspberry pi 4 without throttling:

I still get the rainbow screen when I boot my pi so it's not getting enough power.

Rainbow on the whole screen on boot? This is normal and is just telling you the GPU has booted up successfully. If you are getting low voltage you would see a lightning bolt symbol in the upper left corner of your screen. If your power strip is good quality I dont suspect youll have any voltage issues.

Thank youBuZz for your prompt reply: it solved the problem!
