@mitu VNC still says that there is no desktop there and its running

You can use overlays to disable them, in your config.txt add

pi3-disable-wifi
pi3-disable-bt

This has been documented [here].(https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/README)

Argh, dammit - I thought I just can redefine the joypad-mapping, because the dialogue said "1 Joypad detected" :-X
Works, thanks :-)

Greets,

Just in case anyone else comes across this I got it working. It wasn't easy and took some trial and error, there isn't very much documentation out there about the inner workings of the asound.conf file but I must have read it all.

The asound.conf file needs to look like this. Obviously if your usb sound card is a different number or you didn't disable the default sound output of the pi yours might be a little differnt bit this should mean you get no errors about mixers and both game sound and background music on ES play ok all through the left channel only.

pcm.custom { type plug slave { pcm "dmix:1,0" } ttable { # Copy both input channels to output channel 0 (Left). 0.0 1 1.0 1 # Send nothing to output channel 1 (Right). 0.1 0 1.1 0 } } ctl.custom { type hw card S2 } pcm.!default pcm.custom ctl.!default ctl.custom

@sirhenrythe5th said in Naomi / Atomiswave problem:

Does every NAOMI-Rom need a CHD?

No, the chd are only required for games that were on optical media, in this case the zip file only contains some stuff to decrypt the chd and sometimes a default eeprom.

Actually, it did work but instead of adding these lines I uncommented the same in the config file and just changed the values. Thank you very much for you fast and adequate response.

@lupsyn Those settings are for the Libretro core, not for the standalone Mupen64 emulator. Did you try running your games with the lr-mupen64plus or lr-mupen64plus-nx cores ?

@videokid14 Link to my github repo with all the SVG logos here.

@BuZz Brilliant. That's great!!! This will save me a lot of time as I have a 256GB microSD card full of ROMS and scraped covers. Thanks for your reply.

PERFECT! Thank you, It is running smoooooth.

@mitu said in Joust Crash - Retropie 4.6 - Raspberry Pi 4B:

for me it's always imagined as Christopher Reeves.

I wholeheartedly agree Christopher Reeves defined the face of Superman for cinema in the 70's. :) I'm still not sure what "sparked" the Marvel/DC craze of this past decade but I'm certain Disney getting their meat hooks in Marvel helped it along. They seem to know profitable marketing and branding for sure, or maybe technology as a whole, as the visuals are pretty stunning. No doubt it'll be part of what defines pop culture of the 10's.

I have tried it with the simple configuration you suggest in /opt/retropie/configs/msx/retroarch.cfg and have not been successful. I have run different combinations and, after no luck, I have reintalled from scracth:

Latest RetroPie 4.6
Only SNES Compatible USB Controller
Installed only xboxdrv and lr-bluemsx

to reach the same situation in previous message. Briefly:

Mind it is event2 that responds to SNES Compatible USB Controller (not event1) and mind controller configuration is set to global (all).

With the configuration above SNES Compatible USB Controller is usable in EmulationStation. When entering RetroPie > Retroarch (usable as well)...
usb gampead configured in port #0
VIRTUAL-SNES2XBOX-CONTROLLER configured in port #1

Retroarch > Settings > Input >
Port 1 Binds VIRTUAL-SNES2XBOX-CONTROLLER
Port 2 Binds usb gamepad

So the correlation between /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and Port Binds is obvious.

Entering MSX videogame...

usb gampead configured in port #0
VIRTUAL-SNES2XBOX-CONTROLLER configured in port #1

Controller is irresponsive. However, Select+Start (exit emulator) works at least and I can return to EmulationStation. At this stage, I don't know what else to test...

Many thanks in advance for your support all the way.

@benjaminjay said in accessing RGUI with keyboard:

@mitu could I simply start up a game from EmulationStation, open RGUI then close the game but leave RetroArch running and make the changes ?

No, because it would still save the configuration only for that particular system where the core was running.

Please use the libretro forum. This is a dedicated RetroPie forum and, while we use RetroArch, it's just on Linux/Raspberry Pi and not on Windows.

@mitu Seems to be random whenever I write a new image. It has worked the second time I wrote the image. The microsd card is a few months old, though.

perfect - got it all set up now. thanks for all the help!

@trust4068 Yes, it's an image that you can flash and it's installed.

Yeah should have searched before, thanks.

If anyone's seeing this and having the same doubt, it is recommended to install from scratch.
