You haven't added any details about your system - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
To get a detailed log file from the emulator, enable debug logging from Runcommand launch menu when launching the game, then exit the emulator and post the contents of the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) on pastebin.com.

@Zangdaarr said in Roms are on a network folder, but writing seems to fail:

That seems way more interesting, thank you I will investigate rsync, is there anyway for a sync job to simply wait and put the sync in queue if the connection is severed ?

rsync is just a synchronization/copy command, it's not a service that keeps tab on files. You can run it periodically and it will synch only the changed data, keeping transfers to a minimum. If your backup location is not available, it will fail.

Hi every one.

I used command line in Terminal

lsusb

and I got this information:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0810:e001 Personal Communication Systems, Inc. Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp. Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp.

How to know where is mine?
I use this one oncoder:

This is an old question but an answer is necessary!

The support for M.A.M.E.'s artwork using external zipped archive (containing .art and .png files, archive placed in the artwork directory) is present from 0.61 to 0.106 versions. After 0.106 version the .art file has been subsitutedd by .lay xml file.

In versions previous than 0.61 the artwork is supported at driver level, so it is hardcoded.

mame4all is a version based on 0.37b5 so it will never works

How many raspberries on boot at the top left? If only one then you have a RPI1 not a 2.

@grant2258 Thanks Grant. I can't understand what's in that link, I'm afraid....beyond my pay-grade. But I'm OK with using the USB keypad to make it work.

If by flash driver you mean an USB based drive, then yes. You can store your roms on a separate flash drive (as shown here) or you can install your entire OS on a flash drive - as detailed here, though you'll still need a sdcard to program the Pi first and this method is not yet supported on the new Pi4 model.

@mausiemaup Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Have a look at this Topic, this might help:

I had the same problem and solved it the way you can see in the last 2 posts.

@Darksavior thanks.

Replacement arrived and is working in my prototype"Switch" case (almost finished!). However, why did I have to reset my Wi-Fi password if I used the same SD card from an identical Pi 4? It is encrypted with the processor ID?

My bad... I am sorry.

@mitu Thanks for all your help and effort. I fixed it by checking a bunch of retroarch.cfg's. The one in 'configs/arcade' was at fault.

Makes sense, as I only use the arcade folder on my cab.

@canispeaktodave Hi, I have an lcl piboy allso and am so happy to learn here that with a dongle in the usbport, the dropped button presses are over! It really makes a huge difference! Thanks for the tip. Did you eventualy come up with a perminent solution or did you stuck with a dongle in the usb port?

@jakejm79 Did you ever figure this out? I was thinking it would be awesome to use the same idea to unlock the console with key inputs to be able to use a coin dispensor. But am not finding anyway to do what you were requesting either.

@JJRambo the point is that only the creator knows what is in his creation.
This concerns all kind of things, not only a retropie-image.
So i have no idea who you could ask to get a really good answer.
You could ask people somewhere else what they are guessing.....but in usual it does not help.

@wsamael said in Need help for overlay in retropie 4.5.1:

I can configure in retroarch menu but it's only one overlay by core ( so sega megadrive and sega master system has the same overlay )
How can i configure it system by system with a different overlay for each ?

The thing is, those systems use the same emulator - so use different emulators for those system. Try lr-genesis-plus-gx for megadrive and lr-picodrive for mastersystem so each system has it's own libretro core that you can configure differently.

@mitu ... Will report back lol

@muldjord Thanks! I'll still be giving Skyscraper another go of course! There's still lots more scraping to be done.
