@lilian3004 it does. we need more information - please describe exactly what you see, and provide verbose logs and full info as per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@drdave79 please provide us with all the info requested here including verbose log

@mitu The gamelist is fine. It is the exact same gamelist and folder contents I use in the Pi3 setup I have.

I have formatted the card and started over. The videos are now playing.

I suspect something messed up when I was touching the raspi-config. I selected the fake KMS GL driver and something got downloaded (even though such was the 'default' option for Pi4). I would say that's what messed it up on the first place, but I do not have the curiosity to try it again (now that it works).

Thanks to all who replied to try help me out. Appreciated.

@rascas Sorry for the topic diversion, but I could not find another way to contact.

Could you take a look at this post about Kodi and subtitles.

I have further found out it happens when a line of text is over 32 (?) characters.

This may be the same...

@fiddla01

Late reply, but confirming...

I wanted and did the same thing with the same result. I switched back to HDMI to composite video and audio converter and the system works well, again.

@dankcushions Thanks loads. And you are right. Im getting my head around how this works....slowly! Cheers!

@mitu Oh.

@yfzdude cheers dude. Helpful stuff

@mitu Updated today with latest RetroPie Setup and OS update, and the sound is back. Not sure what changed but something was adressed in audio recently.

Maybe it just affected me but if there's someone else with similar problems, it might be good to know.

@bigbay you are welcomed.
If you need any help creating your own image feel free to ask here.
There are resources and options to build a gernan based image.
I.e. you are even able to set some arcade games from Atari and Capcom (Dungeons and Dragons, Aliens vs. Predator, Xybots,...) to german language.
Get ready for "Münze einwerfen!" :D ("insert coin!")

@sleve_mcdichael VERY helpful! Thank you very much.

@mitu the default, no frills just with cover art image and description

Solved had to set audio to HDMi in Raspi-config as well

It should work after configuring inputs in ES. What arcade core are you using?

@ogteeg If your controller is detected, then you're not experiencing the same issue as in this topic.
My advice is to make sure you're fully upgraded (OS/Packages and RetroPie), install the xpadneo driver from RetroPie-Setup (see here on how to install packages in RetroPie) driver section and then re-try the pairing. Make sure you remove the controller from the list of registered devices before attempting to re-pair.
If that doesn't work, then open a separate topic and provide more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

RetroPie uses the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image - if that will support GPT for the root drive (boot + root), then RetroPie will have no issues with it.

Since the current RPI OS images are using MBR, you'd have to re-partition your disc and copy over the files to the new partitions if you want to use GPT.
