@BuZz, It appeared to have worked after a uninstall of my previous set up and following your link for the manual install.

Cheers. Would you recommend any settings that I should change for a raspberry pi 4 for a better experience?

Never mind I have fixed it. I used the MC command and changed the word kidmode to full in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg.

@uncledisgusting said in lr-pcsx rearmed not responding to psx controllers and can't get into menu to configure them - please help! - retropie4.6 pi 4:

system_directory = "~/RetroPie/BIOS"

That should be present in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file, which is included in the psx config - so you should check that file and maybe reset it to the default set by RetroPie.

@shavecat Good to know there is a workaround for now if it works for you on the Pi4. .

What game(s) have you tried? It could be a corrupted ROM, so try a few different games or try to find another copy of the game.

Have you tried to remove the redream package and re-install from the latest binary?

Also have you tried using the lr-flycast or Reicast emulators to run the game instead? Both can be found within the optional packages menu. When launching the ROM, hit a button to choose which emulator to use(once you have installed them). All three emulators run well on my RPI4 4Gb at stock speeds.

Only other thing is to think your pi is throttling, have you any heatsinks/cooling? Are you using a case?

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I will certainly look at this.

However i managed to solve my issue and webtropie is living and breathing again.

my es_systems.cfg had become corrupt so emulation station was not starting correctly. i rectified the issue by overwriting the file.

Ok, So I got this figured out.
The thing is, when boost library was removed two years ago, it removed the ability to navigate on UNC folders too.

I thought that this was really strange since EmulationStation can still loads the gamelist.xml on my Server but couldn't load anything else, but, I found a pre 2.7.4 build (that still has boost library) and now everything works :)

Right now I'm running a really old 2.6.4 build. If anyone here has a 2.7.3 build saved, please share with me, I would really appreciate.

Thanks again

@K-Richardoson because you didn't enter any tags (keywords) in the area under the post.

@pinacolada Do you have enough free disk space on your Sdcard ?

I solved this. I changed the analogue control settings at the bottom of the list to match the buttons (not the other way round). This game now works with two analogue sticks.

Nasty the speaker wasnt working glad you got it fixed!

@mitu ok sorry about that. I loaded raspbian on my raspberry pi then put retropie over the top of that... I'll take some pictures tonight to show you what I mean.

@sad_muso said in Slow game loading times with 8bitdo Lite controller:

Out of interest, what is considered the 'best' Bluetooth retro controller all round for Retropie, considering the build quality, input lag and button compatibility with Retropie?

The PS4 DualShock controller is a good Bluetooth controller, no problems pairing and low input lag.

@reborn1840 said in I put retropie on raspbian,but Basic installation error.:

@mitu PING google.com (8.7.198.46) 56(84) bytes of data.

That's not saying much - do you get a reply back ? Is the connection working ? Can you install a simple package via apt get ?

@mitu gasp, that did it! Thank you very much, I had a hunch it was either memory card or video related and was trying to see if I could reinitialize the cards from within redream, but you can't. Oh well, thanks for helping me fix it!

@Blackhero How are you starting RetroArch ? AFAIK, you need to start with a Disc enabled libretro core for the options to be available. This includes SegaCD, PCEngine-CD, 3DO and Saturn for the PI.
You should start a game in one of these systems and then check if the disk menus (LOAD/DUMP) show up.
