@windg retropie folder is for transfering files (they will be copied from the & back to the corresponding folder(s) on the OS partition), whereas the retropie-mount folder actually is for running the files from the external media

thanks very much for the reports! pcsx_rearmed continues to get better :)

@frizzo said in What user does RetroPi run under?:

@sleve_mcdichael Are you sure?

Yes.

It auto logs in. But when I SSH into the RPi using the pi user, I have to provide a password.

The password, if you haven't changed it, is raspberry. As configured by default, this is not required on the local terminal, only for remote logins.

@Max-1 i never used premade images and can recommend to build your own image.
Makes a lot of fun, you learn a lot and everything looks, feels and works for you as you want it ;)

So, whenever your image crashes totally: feel free to get support for your own build here, we will be ready to help you then!

@mitu thank you. here goes!!

Edit - looks a little heavy for me to do right now. I'm going to just run the retropie updater which will put me at 1.10 and patiently wait for the new RA t to be added

@Tieelo Did you fix the issue? I get the same error message trying to install from Extras.

@AlphaBetaPie if i recall you can set the resolution within the core options but i would never recommend/support the use of that emulator, as it was abandoned years ago: https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro

While I have you here, this strikes me as something that might be related to another issue I'm having in this thread.

No, it's not.

Are there any insights you can add to the other thread?

@oli-_
please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first when seeking support

please define "configuration". note that no systems/emulators will show up unless you have transferred games to your system.

@mitu
I did as told, emulationstation auto config was disabled. I enabled it and also removed xboxdrv.
And it finally works! I could configure both controller, the configuration is kept in the game and even when rebooting I don't need to re-configure it again.

Thanks a lot, the auto config settings were an eye-opener!

@mitu thank you :)

@seatbeesate
I stand corrected, I did a fresh install again/installed safe shutdown script rebooted and seems to be working.

Going to try and reproduce to make sure maybe it was just the config.txt that got screwed up or something.

I know this is old, but this is the only thread that keeps coming up in searches that has fixed this problem for me, and I wanted to say thanks, and also include my controller model in case it helps anyone else.

Controller: GameSir G3s controller in X-input mode.
Left and right triggers were working at one point, and somewhere along the line, remapping the controller broke analog L2/R2. However, manually editing the config, like the user above (rilight) to +2 and +5 (yes, you need the + in there), fixed it for me. Specifically, this problem was plaguing me while playing OutRun on MAME.

Just wanted to say thanks to mitu and rilight. ;-)

@illando unfortunately I don't know
I really don't see the card speed being much of an issue because the raspberry pi doesn't have a very fast read write speed to start with as far as I know

But if you have one laying around or easily accessible guess it wouldn't hurt to try that

Thank you for the kind words.

If you've used the USB transfer method to copy your ROM files, then you'll have both ROMs on your sdcard - the method just copies the new ROMs. Delete the ROM files on you sdcard, not on your USB drive.
You can use the File Manager from the RetroPie system in EmulationStation to browse the ROMs folders and delete them or press Select in EmulationStation when have a game selected and you'll have the option to delete it.

Most likely the display drivers disabled the Pi4's GPU drivers by modifying the bootloader configuration.
Can you post your /boot/config.txt file ? How did you install the display drivers ?

I'm running a near identical build but with 2 wired contollers. The only psp games I run are the Williams and Gotlieb pinball games, but they run well on ppsspp. I just had to activate frameskip, otherwise there's minor stuttering.

It may just be that those games are some of the ones that the pi struggles with.

Just wanted to confirm that building RetroPie on current Debian ‘testing’ using RetroArch’s 1.10.3 source works perfectly.

Thanks!
