@mitu Ah well, thanks anyway - I posted it as an issue in github to see if the retroarch - developers can help
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/10114

I did.

I actually managed to solve the problem. I needed to do a sudo reboot and reApply the video, but then the video would start to play and crash and then the pi would be frozen. It would still work with ssh and with a bunch of tinkering I realized it was my overclock causing the freeze. I removed the oc on gpu memory and dropped the GPU and v3d clocks to 700 and it works fine now.

Not sure what made me try tinkering with the oc, but I'm glad I did...

Now if I could only get psp games to show up and n64 games to play decently I'll be set.

Please stop spamming the forum topics - this is not how a forum works and it's rude.
You didn't provide any of the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, please do so and we'll be able to provide better assistance.

@mitu a huge thank you! It works like a charm!

Please post your system details as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Are you rebooting/shutting down your system from the EmulationStation menu ? If EmulationStation is not cleanly shut down, the favorite information is not properly saved.

All settings are okay for free access. I tried installing the desktop Raspian but it does not allow for hidden networks so I have no way to check if it is just Retropie.

That worked! Your a star, thank you :)

If you want to take a screenshot of just your current active window, type Alt-PrtSc instead of just the PrtSc key.

Just to confirm I had email confirmation that the change was merged into master, so post-update I tested again anyway and all works fine.

Thanks for sorting this so quickly.

Cheers

@XaniXxable said in Rasp4 N64 window screen very small:

So now to my porblem... If i run the n64 emulator called "mupen64plus-gles2n64" I have a very small picutre in the left corner of my screen. I set my retoarch settings to use 16:9. Also if i select a specific resoloution it wont apply it.

known issue. see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/25671/mupen64plus-gles2n64-small-screen-in-the-down-left

With the other emulators like "mupen64plus-gles2rice", "mupen64plus-GLideN64-highres" and "mupen64plus-GLideN64" i get a bigger screen but only 4:3 ratiation and it's not play able.

mupen64plus-GLideN64 should be playable. see https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/gc83sc/n64_mupen64plusgliden64_performance_fix/

@Clyde said in Subtitles error with OMX Player on Pi 4 with RetroPie 4.6:

Two more questions, does VLC have HA "just like that" or do I have to activate it somehow?

No, hardware acceleration is used by default.

And does OMX have any advantages left over VLC?

Yes, it's still faster than VLC with HW acceleration in EmulationStation.

@mitu Thank you very much for your answer.

Retroarch 1.8.7 has been released yesterday, hopefully this issue is fixed now.

@mitu That worked! I can't express how grateful I am, I really thought I had messed up to the point of no return. Thank you so much for you're help, and have a great day

@nes as with the roms you will need the right CHD-Version for this rom-set.
btw - Killer Instinct will not run good even with a overclocked Pi4, so you might be dissapointed.

@thelostsoul said in Retropie general info:

RetroPie is a collection of emulators and tools. You can't use it without an operating system. If you want, you can install RetroPie on your PC as an application. If you have problems running it smoothly, ask in the Help section. The Raspberry Pi images use Raspbian distribution, which is based on Debian. https://retropie.org.uk/download/
Further, if you want install RetroPie manually on Raspbian: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/

The RetroPie SD image is built on top of Raspbian lite (Raspbian without the PIXEL desktop environment) RetroPie can also be installed on top of the full Raspbian but you can't run Retropie and PIXEL at the same time, you will need to logout of the PIXEL desktop environment in order to run emulationstation and the emulators RetroPie installs.

Thanks, it worked for me

@mitu
Thank you. I kept a browser window open for that and will give it a try.

@celly I have read this be for. I think I should be asking about how to download the free Daphne games eta prime talked about

ROMs are not included. Did you check the documentation for that game and install the correct ROM?

The 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ is a great choice for RetroPie, and it works both wired and wireless.
