You might have accidentally created the music folder with root permissions and the pi user does not have access to it. Try changing the owner of the folder with

sudo chown pi:pi $HOME/RetroPie/roms/music

and re-try.

@funkotron77 Again, I see nothing. Maybe also check the /var/log/syslog, but without grep to see every message. A simple cat /var/log/syslog will show it, and you could copy & paste the last part of the output. To be sure, you could look at it before and after the remount command, to check for changes (the same goes for dmesg).

After that, alas, I'm out of ideas. I never had to deal with something similar myself yet.

@Skervix Enable your tv's game mode. That's the best you can do. Run the pi4 at 1080p. I also recommend rtings.com. They measure the input lag of many tv's.

You'll find MAME 2010 in the "optional" packages in RetroPie setup. It isn't installed ex-factory.

Ok, thank you

@mitu Oh wow, I didn't know about the sortname tag, that is useful. I'm grouping other titles together right now as well, thanks.

@mitu , @lostless & @Clyde - You all are great. I swear I looked at the Sega CD Docs at least a dozen times, and my eyes just completely glossed over the order of the emulators/BIOS instructions. ROMS loading now without any issue.

Thanks again!!

The only thing that would have a say in this are the kernel/firmware updates. What kind of Wi-Fi setup do you have (2.5ghz, 5ghz) ?

As a diagnostic, run dmesg | sudo tee /boot/dmesg.txt and post the dmesg.txt - you can read it from the PC if you put the sdcard in.

@XEntombmentX Ah shucks that happened to me the first time too.
For future reference, when done transferring files, right click the disk in the manager and select "Flush Cache to Disk" and then it's ok to remove the drive.
I should have mentioned that.

Glad it solved your initial problem.

@escc1986 i'm sure it's possible to optimize the new 3d engine for the pi4, as the emulator itself is currently using the old 3d engine only for pi4... someone could modify the open-source supermodel code if they had the skill.

@mitu ugh... got it. I see what you mean now.. "save core preset". That worked.

Thanks... and I also jumped on the bandwagon for the safe-shutdown script while I was at it. Works great as well... no more text when I shut down.

you're top dog for sure!

@bollwerk said in How to configure both analog stick and d-pad for retroarch arcade config?:

I assume the Arduino config (or any joypad input config) overrides the retroarch.cfg in some way?

Your configuration in retroarch.cfg - as it is right now - configures a keyboard.

input_player1_r = "w"

When configuring a gamepad, the syntax is different:

input_player1_r_btn = "12"

RetroArch will load - indeed - the configuration from the autoconfig sub-folder if it finds one. The gamepad's auto-configuration file was generated by EmulationStation when you configured the gamepad in the Input Configuration step.

I find it easier to open up the RetroArch's menu (via Hotkey + X) and use the Controls menu to change things, test them and then save it with a Core input configuration remap.

For more details, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/.

ok, thanks for your help

We don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones pre-loaded with ROMs. Ask the seller/scammer that sold you the device.

@Skervix said in memory card capacity:

@mitu I tried that command and it says I have 304 MB free in dev/root. So Im guessing thats enough for a few game saves. I also Uninstalled the themes I'm not using and even a few games I'm not using.

Usually 5% of the capacity of the filesystem is reserved for the root user, so a simple user doesn't accidentally fill up the disc and crashed the system.

Depending on your card size, you might be below the 5% reserved and you may be unable to write new files, even if there is free space available.

Hello Thatsnotmyname, apologies for slow reply.
I'm hoping you are sorted by now, but if not I have used a program called RGBCommander:

Mahuti, a user on the arcade controls has done a full guide to its installation and use.

Hope it goes ok for you

I've created a script in the RetroPie-Extra repo for adding the Pico8 as its own system to your RetroPie install: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/master/scriptmodules/emulators/pico8.sh

better when u buy 3.2 to good framerate
