You missed my other question:

@Clyde said in Sound Problem acter the last update:

Installed from the official Retropie image or a third-party image?

I.e. did you download Retropie from https://retropie.org.uk/download/ or somewhere else?

One more friendly-meant advice … please phrase your topic titles more descriptive, as many potential helpers in their limited free-time may rather skip those "HELP!!", "WHY!!11?!" etc. ones than to look into every one of them to see what they're about. 🧐

@Krakatoa I figured out the issue. One of the files got corrupted when it crashed. Running chkdsk in windows fixed the issue and i can now read/write.

Also, I decided to switch from FAT32 to NTFS to hopefully avoid this situation going forward. Maybe its placebo, but it somehow seems faster now.....

So the plot thickens...

Today, after weeks of working from home, I seem to be having massive WiFi issues with my laptop. It’s been perfect literally up until this morning.

So I ran a WiFi scanning app and it turns out one of the neighbours have cloned our WiFi. So my laptop was connecting to the dodgy WiFi instead. Now this isn’t the exact same issue, but it all seems connected. I’ll investigate further. Maybe the RasPi 3 somehow has a preference for my WiFi and the Pi4 for theirs? both are just configured using SSIDs so it’s not like I’m entering the details any differently.

I'm going to change the WiFi details and see if it fixes the issue, or if it's just a massive coincidence.

@valerie228 We don't support 3rd party images - it's laid out clearly in the https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first page.

Ahh, OK thanks for that. i didn't know that was the case. Not too much I can do then. Well thanks for replying anyway.

thanks sd imager did not work i still get an error when reading the card, i am using a belkin usb micro hub , micro sd card inserted , i used this before when i setup the RP image. really annoying

Not sure how to mark as resolved but this has fixed it.

Edit the topic title (by editing your first post) and append/prepend [Solved].

@JillSandwich said in Extra Emulators On RetroPie:

BBC micro

Can be emulated with advmess (part of advmame) or lr-mess, though there isn't an out-of-the-box configuration for them.

Super Grafix, and PCE-CD

May as well ignore post as I've only worsened it and now I'm just rebuilding it

@mitu yep I see that now, the site I found didn't say anything about ROMs. But it's quite clear the op bought a pre-loaded system for sure.

I do confirm, all systems are there to scrape. Very cool.

Wow, I posted this question 3 years ago, and never responded to anybody's suggestions... my bad! The solution to my problem was embarrassingly stupid and simple. Retropie had copied all the roms over from my usb drive, and this filled up my micro sd card to a point where there just wasn't any room left to save game data. THAT is why I kept seeing "task failed: saving state".

Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

@zasx Just want to say thanks for posting this issue and solution as well. Playing the same game and had the same issue. Much better gaming experience now, thanks again.

Found the option I was looking for in /etc/modprobe.d/xpad.conf

Changing from options xpad triggers_to_buttons=1 to options xpad triggers_to_buttons=0
solved my issue.

So scraping from one of the API services is still better than trying to find a dump somewhere online I'm guessing, due to ROM compatibility...

We don't support 3rd party images and selling preloaded RetroPie systems is against the project's license. Ask for support from the 'vendor' or install a RetroPie image from retropie.org.uk/download if you want support in this forum.
