I'm not sure if the 8bit hack is needed with recent (i.e. latest) firmware revisions on the 8bitdo controllers. You should try and remove the options, then re-configure the controllers.

For the Pro2 - try testing it with jstest (more details here) and see if the gamepads buttons are registering. You might want to try other connection mode for the gamepad - Switch/Android - if the gamepad is in 'PC/Windows' (I think that enables XInput) mode.

@Efriim said in Error parsing xml Scraper EmulationStation.:

Sorry for the spotty details, wasn't sure if there was a quick and easy fix for this thing.

There isn't, the message is just a parsing error, indicating that the scraper site hasn't responded with a well formed XML message. It's because - at the moment - scraping from ScreenScraper doesn't work for un-registered users. You'll have to use an external scraper (see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/) that supports scraping with a registered account or scrapes from a different source.

Same here too. How do you know how long?

Got it, this worked:
hdmi_timings=1200 1 148 80 148 384 1 5 5 22 0 0 0 60 0 39400000 1

@mitu

Sure i " said in Reicast doesn't work properly" because i solved after this topic and hope to solve completely all even with this problem in controller.

So the adapter emulates 2 joysticks, but only one is actually connected/working ?

Yes, it's all right.

Use lr-vice it's easier to disable certain buttons so this doesn't happen

@mitu said in Tried to prioritize HDMI output over LCD now my LCD doesn't work at all:

@ns27 Revert the change you've done and see if it fixes it.

ok ill try that

@sobeitjedi said in New Setup - USB Controllers dont seem accurate?:

Any advice?

Use jstest from the command line and see how responsive the controllers are. Run from the command line

jstest /dev/input/js0

then start pressing buttons to see how fast the output is changed on the screen.

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

@mitu so most likely it was trying to save one and something errored and then it just wasn't able to save over the bad file?

@sirhenrythe5th said in Totally confused with MAME:

I also prefer FB-Neo for NeoGeo

NeoGeo is one of the few systems where FBNeo has an edge even against current MAME (let alone a 17 years old version of MAME), so yeah, i recommend it.

Thank you, but when the second controller is plugged in P1 cannot hotkey out. Both controllers have to be pulled and P1 reinserted to quit. Any ideas?

So i get there is no way for Emulationstation to look into subfolders? I have to convert my whole collection or edit their cues? (not possible to edit them this way, too many files)

I do use Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher/Launchbox already and EmulationStation seem lo lack very basic functions like choosing a simple path for your media files and now this. I managed to find a dirty solution for for the paths but i can't seem to find something for the subfolders. Scrappers don't seem to have anything about them either so that means there's nothing i can do to the gamelist.xml. I really don't want to convert the games because i use a lot of emulators for testing, etc, and not everything is going to be compatible afterwards.

@BuZz : I saw this menu, but it provides me only with the choices "bookmark" and "share".

In fact the first post is not editable, but other ones are editable (I just edited this one)

ha, i just figured it out - in the Disk Control option in the retroarch menu (select+x), if i select Disk Cycle Tray Status it ejects the current disk, then i select Disk Image Append and i can select the .d64 file for the next disk! it appears the .m3u functionality isn't needed (or doesn't work anyway).

@fordpickup said in Sound Error and Final Fanstasy Origins Failure (PSX):

(It didn't solve the weird sound error notification, but hey if it works it works!)

I think that sound/alsa error comes from EmulationStation, not fro the emulator. Use the EmulationStation menu and play with the Sound settings - Audio Card/Device are the ones that produce this error. Most likely you can change the Audio Card from Default to something else and the error will go away.

Those are two good ideas. The .sh is just for the script that starts dos box, but yeah, using .conf would provide for more configurability for each game... I'll have to do that when I have time to do that for 230+ games, lol.

@Jobine he has for sure! Gauntlet 1+2 are running very fine since decades now if you have the right romset.
I answer this because i doubt that you will get an answer from the author after 3 years 😉
