@msaeger said in PSX not saving:

@msaeger

I got it! Here is the link that gave me the clue https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/3dyki2/changing_the_location_of_savefile_directory_and/

went into the retroarch configuration gui and set the save file and save state directories to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

Can you explain the exact path you took to set the saves? I can't seem to find it. I will be grateful for any help you can provide.

That appears to be the case. I re-flashed the image many times, but a new card did the trick. Funny that card had worked fine before.

Thanks!

You can use the virtual gamepad:

@Capeman As good as it did, for sure, but never as good as you remember it through the nostalgia filter :)
I tried to play again some old PSX 3D games that stunned the young me with beautiful graphics. All I can see now most of the time is a kind of giant pixel gang bang. :(

i use the share button as my 'select' and the 'option' button as my 'start'. i don't use the menu button for anything. it's up to you :)

@Nosra so what controller doesn't it work on? please fill out: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

there will probably be alot of work to have the boxart and videos on the external wont there

@SonPluck No problem. But it says to hold any button to skip.

Okay, I'll go through and check all my wiring and soldering. Hopefully it's just that. I've tried with 2 different speakers now, so I don't think it's that. I'll try different wires maybe. I've posted on the SudoMod forum too, so I'll hopefully get a response there too.
Yeah, It's pretty fun, and frustrating XD I've never done much with hardware before so it's a challenge! Once It's all done I'll probably make a post about it, and I'll link it here :)

@castroe_10 Etcher is meant to verify the image as part of the writing process. However, it may be a few things. The image you downloaded may be corrupt. It happens from time to time or the card may well be the issue. I suggest redownloading the image and starting afresh. If that doesn't yield a positive result try a different SD card.

@AlexMurphy >:D

@davidstone83 If you are using lr-mame2003 and you have configured your keyboard and controller correctly in emulation station then select should be coin and start should be start. These are the default buttons for RetroArch emulators. It sounds to me like you have borked something or you are using a third party image.

@noamDA Just buy a Switch and move on...

@Twitch0815 said in How to use cheats on N64 in RetroPie?:

Both Pixel-Desktop environment and Kodi are launchable from the Emustation and via Kodi Youtube is available.
Pixel can be enabled via Retropie-Setup - > Configuration Tools - > Raspian tools and Kodi can be installed from the optional packages menu.

Thank you very much for this information.

I'm not entirely sure what I should be asking for in this Ideas & Development thread you suggested making. Can you clear up what you had in mind there?

@GTR63 Forget the USB. If you are using windows use the already enabled samba share. stick \\RETROPIE into any windows search bar and you should see 4 folders by default. Just drag and drop into the correct folders from your Win PC.

@pjft MACs aren't my thing, I leave them to the GF and the young wan. Everyone I see talks about dd In fact I saw etcher get ripped to shreds on reddit by people criticising them for just over-complicating dd. Saying that, I do like a nice GUI and I have no issues with it. Straight into a zip? You could ask them to add it. They seem like they are willing to help.

@mnewsome32 Sorry to dig up an old grave but did you ever get your wiimote working with Duck hunt?
I've got mine working with AdvanceMAME gun games such as Alien3 - The Gun and Operation Wolf, but I can't seem to make it work with duck hunt.
