@GoodBoy said in [PiShrink] Creating new /etc/rc.local does not end - takes forever.:

@mitu

My apologies.

I would say I waited about an hour and it was still trying to create the etc/rc.local

It is a 64GB card, with about 32GB used space. I have just put the image on a 128GB card and I am going to camp this one out for a few hours.

If that doesn't work, I am thinking about removing the etc/rc.local and retrying it. Not too sure what that will achieve but it's worth a go.

@GoodBoy Why are you trying to shrink the image if you are going to place it on a 128 GB card ? Do a backup of the image..transfer it to the 128GB card and .you will have to expand the filesystem to access the full space on the card

@akav05 I jus back round to trying to figure this out and thanks from the help on another thread I was able to get it to work. My game was Pinball Mania on MAME and through the MAME settings it’s possible to using any button for player 1 regardless of it being from the player 1 or player 2 controllers. I do not know if that’s possible with all systems but in case it worked perfect when playing the game on MAME

@mitu hey thanks so much. Just finally got the chance to get back on the arcade machine and using your method I was able to map the buttons to the left and right paddles respectively and now I can play the pinball game the way I wanted to. Cheers

Thanks :)

When you change the Options in RA, the values apply to all games - it's always been like that. Use the 'Create Game Options' menu item after you change the options for the game, then switch the option back so it doesn't affect all games.

@alrotem said in Joystick orientation swaps:

I am pretty sure, this can be resolved by meddling with the configurations/scripts, but I suspect it would be too much work, and overkill, rather than take 10 minutes and just make sure one controller set is identical to the other.

Not quite, since the names of the gamepads (P1/P2) are identical and the configuration file governing both is the same (it's created based on the device name). The approach suggested by @grant2258 is the correct one - there's just one configuration for both controllers, so making them work similarly is the best solution.

Sharing is caring. Thank you.

Okay cool it might be a while I am doing a portapie homemade so I have to get that fixed and finished before I do that

@mitu Not really, just wanted to use a up to date image.

@barbudreadmon
Initially I did not have any intention, but after I read this on "validating, rebuilding and filtering":
"Sample: Some games require an additional zip file with recorded sounds or music in order for audio to work correctly"
Then the doubt came up
I will read your link and will come back later. Thanks

The installation error is caused by

/usr/bin/ld: impossibile trovare -lGL

Do you have any 3rd party repositories enabled ? It looks like the OpenGL libraries are not found, which is not something that should happen on a normal installation.

@shaunus70 at a guess perhaps this?

@Clyde said in Audio question:

@RpiBeginner You could try to add this to the file /boot/config.txt to improve the analog sound from the 3.5 mm jack:

audio_pwm_mode=2

It changes to a new (still experimental?) audio driver. My audio via the 3.5 mm jack improved significantly with it. It won't change anything for HDMI audio, as I guess it won't for an external USB audio card which should have its own drivers.

You can find this and some other tips at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Sound-Issues under "White Noise Fix".

This worked great for me, although I did order a USB sound thing. I can try that out too. Thank you

@ezryel just update retropie? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Updating-RetroPie

@dudleydes thanks for the reply, I feared it would be like that. Well, I think then I just take it how it is.

@Phantom-Rider we don't support 3rd party systems, and selling Retropie is against the project's licence. Ask the seller for support or use the official installation image.

The only good gba emulator for a pi zero is gpsp. Unfortunately, it does crash on that cutscene on that emulator. It works fine on mgba, but it runs slow on a pi zero.
Also make sure you have a bios file.

@machine_74 this is normal behavior. The only partion that a windows computer can access directly is the boot partition. The other Linux partion, windows doesn't understand what it is and assumes it needs to be formatted. Nothing is wrong with your card, just ignore/close out the format prompts.

@pikey

first off, its worth noting that you need to install a driver for the ps3 controller to connect, so if you havent done that yet, i sugest you try that first, via the retropie setup.
also linux is not windows, so the fact that it works in windows, dosnt automaticly mean it also works in linux.

does the bluetooth adapter work as expected with other bluetooth devices in linux?

edit:
also, are you using an original controller?
