@Lolonois said in Trying to make a simple power off / reboot button in Emulationstation but getting permission denied.:

I usually do from any navigation position: Start -> RB (right shoulder) -> A (now I am in the Quit Menu) and then select either Restart or Shutdown. You can bypass the final confirm dialog when you add --no-confirm-quit to the emulationstation line in autostart.sh.

Yes, I am well aware of that. Have been using ES for many years. I just wanted to make an easy button to press right from the icon screen though. More of a personal preference than anything else.

@barbudreadmon
I figured it out.. it was older retroarch mame cfgs
in the retropie configs folder.
I deleted them and it came right on.
No sound problems, no black screens.

Please add some more details about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

If you're just starting, why did you choose the Pi5, which is not yet officially supported ?

@jajalobrit Hi, How did you manage to get Kodi 19.5? I followed the same instructions but I got to the same situation like @harukasan that I am no more able to run Kodi. Also did you solve the joystick anyhow?

Thanks,

McWinsch

@sebalberico If you mean the music is stuttering and the framerate drops, then read https://docs.libretro.com/library/fbneo/#why-does-game-xxx-run-slowly

@Rens said in LED Matrix, other than Pixelcade:

@mitu yeah the LED matrix should work, just looking at pointers on how to trigger the right image (if available) or default image, to be loaded.

If you have a script that loads an image, then you can tie it with EmulationStation's scripting support and invoke the image loading when appropriate - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#scripting.

Please add some more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

I assume that by 'not detected', you mean you can't configure it in EmulationStation ? Can you try to test the gamepad with jstest (see here and see if it works ?
Please post the result of the following commands:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices lsusb

@sugarfree Thanks for the technical clarification!

I noticed some PAL/Europe games have an SBI warning indeed. I am happy with the OOTB experience though.

@RapidEdwin08 --- Thank you.
It worked really well.

@RapidEdwin08 said in How To Auto Start into Kodi When The Option Is Missing?:

Modify autostart. sh with the content of the Exec= command pulled from the RetroPie Desktop shortcut.
Example /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh:

kodi
gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -e emulationstation

There wasn't a file "autostart. sh" at /opt/retropie/configs/all/.
But it was fine, I just created one in that location and continued with your instructions.

Again, it worked very well. Thank you.

Please try to add the recommended information: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Also, check your roms files, they must have one of this extensions : .cue .cbn .chd .img .iso .m3u .mdf .pbp .toc .z .znx ,
more here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/

@sheazer13 got it to start emulator and game but it is still doing the same things where it says missing rom files.

It still loads fine on emulation station though

anyone no idea?
i wait for answer

I can't edit my post (understandable, im a newbie). But if I could, it would say

Edit: I figured it out- I had become error. I was trying to be fancy with my file pathing, and I forgot the adage- keep it simple

Hi! I just ran into this myself, and thought I'd post this for anyone else who had this issue to give an alt method, If you want to configure it with the GUI (which may be easier). It takes a few steps, and you will need a mouse.

install Desktop in Raspconfig
2 use the dekstop terminal to run QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu
3 configure your controller
4 important- while you are here, configure your hotkeys as well. Dolphin does not recognize the normal hotkey /exit button, it uses its own.

You can edit both GC and Wii controls this way

@Arrafart Those are great controllers by the way. I have the old set (US and Japanese) with the corresponding color patterns on the buttons, before Nintendo forced 8-bitdo to change them :-(. I actually set RetroPie up with them easily. I wanted to try the Xbox 360 controller out. I also use the WiiU Pro Controllers as well.

Isn't it that you can enter the retroarch menu from within a game and set input to mirror analog stick from dpad?

Hotkey + North (in game)

Settings | gamepad | analog

Please correct the path, it's something like that

Welcome to the forum :)

Wow, this hardware is also already retro. However, it can be refurbished for the 2020s.

For the Pi 4 or 5 there has been recently a thread https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/36439

If smooth N64 emulation is a must then it is a Pi5.

The current IPAC won't work. But if you are satisfied (also in terms of inputlag) you can use a IPAC for USB. You can also wire the GPIO directly as you have 12 buttons per player. I recently released a project which is compatible with the Pi5 (and earlier).

You will also need some adapters between the Pi's micro HDMI and the monitor connection (VGA, DVI, regular HDMI). Driving a CRT is a different story.
For the Pi 5 you will also need an USB audio device (any C-Media compliant stick will do).

Have fun!
