My guess this happens because you specifically set the resolution somewhere - either in /boot/config.txt, or in each individual RetroArch core.
EmulationStation and emulators (including RetroArch) should pick up the current resolution and run in fullscreen, without the need to set the resolution.

For other folks looking for answers about this, see the following forum:

My pleasure. See the AM Wiki for example filters.

If you go this path in the end, maybe you could share your steps to a working AM/Retropie setup in a little How-To? 🙂

managed to resolve myself.
Apparently these are just warning messages and are only preventing successful compilation because of the -Werror flag in the makefile. Removed that flag and it now compiles successfully

@quicksilver Thanks, yeah, I tried all the joysticktype settings including 2axis, which is supposed to allow two controllers. Didn't help.

However, this morning I tried renaming the default dosbox-SVN.conf in retropie/configs/pc. I then ran DOSBox again from +Start DOCBox.sh and the screen looked different and the keyboard started generating invalid characters. I quit out and DOSBOX had recreated a new dosbox-SVN.conf. I renamed that one and reinstated the original one then ran it again. All of a sudden the Thrustmaster is recognised ! No idea what has changed. I guess forcing it to recreate a dosbox-SVN.conf must have also caused it to update some other setting file.

Anyway, I'm happy it's working now. Thanks quicksilver for your suggestions.

That's hilarious. I just removed the xboxdrv driver as well as the xpad driver. Both pads working, recognized as XBox 360 controllers. Configured in the menu. Back to the issue where the 8BitDo controller works great, and everything but the D-Pad seems to work on the generic SNES controller.

@Ric Please don't re-open 4 years old topics - you should have opened a new topic.

Ah, so you're thinking of capturing the mouse up/down movements and sending them to ES as joystick movements. ES wouldn't know the difference. Not bad. My set-up isn't wired to pull this off, but it's definitely an idea.

I currently use my trackball as a mouse in PIXEL. It'd be nice to scroll through ES with my trackball, but alas support is not included.

Hi @Awesomegamer656. I've been streaming to Twitch directly from my Pi, going directly from the emulator like you have. It has worked for NES, SMS, Genesis/Megadrive and MAME and FBA, but for some reason it doesn't work with PCEngine. I haven't personally tried NXEngine (not even sure what that is, honestly) but there is another way, which is what I did to stream PCEngine.

Start up a game as normal, without the Twitch streaming custom emulator and hit Select + X to get into Retroarch. Go to the Quick menu and Settings and Recording and you can enter the Twitch link with stream key there. Then go back to main menu and you should see Start Streaming, and then it should be on your Twitch.

Perfect, thanks for the help mitu & BuZz 😁

@sirhenrythe5th haha! Yeah - it's in-between the switch off the website button and the ban all the entitled users button.

In a world where such buttons exist.. aah.. a world where I am at peace.

@zenamistress Please mind the language, we're trying to keep this forum an all ages place. Also, don't resurrect old posts - this is 3 years old post, a lot of things changed since then.

@tripplies we don't support third party installs, but to get the original games off you would need to transfer them off. see: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#transferring-roms. essentially you're doing the same process, but in the other direction. samba, SFTP or the manual copy would work. after that, install your new system on your new SD, and transfer them back in the same manner.

i would be reticent to transfer configs and the emulationstation setup as those settings are likely incompatible with current retropie and could cause issues/break it.

If you want your account removed, then you usually mention the administrators or the moderation team in one of your posts. The forum software doesn't have this feature (self-deletion of your own account).

Update: Installing Retroarch from source seemed to do the trick.
