@ChaosFox or like @mitu says, install Ubuntu and then Retropie...

Thanks!

@Thorr69 thanks for the reply; i didn't know about that setting and thank you for sharing, but that's not what's going on in this case. some games for the msx just have the buttons swapped from what you'd expect, like Vampire Killer, as mentioned in the video linked below.

i have a few solutions for swapping a and b now for this emulator, but now i'm focused on mapping keyboard keys to buttons in lr-bluemsx (or adjusting the emulation speed in lr-fmsx), which i'm still hoping to figure out.

this video mentions that the buttons are swapped from what you'd expect in Vampire Killer even if you're playing on an actual msx with a controller (mentioned at timestamp 4:35, which i tried to include in the link):

im looking forward to seeing how mame current is running on the pi 4. I only usually play 80s and 90s that would be an ideal setup for the living room barcade has a mini pc in it at the moment can see me changing that anytime soon. If the mame team do some dynarecs for arm there could be a fair few systems on the go on the pi.

@mitu hmmmm. I'll give it another go tomorrow when I've got some time. Thanks for checking though.

If it fails again, I'll add it folder by folder and see when it breaks.

never mind... if fixed it!

1st i made a full .uae file like written in this thread. But that didn't work. Apparently the .uae only needs to have the drive settings and then it works. e.g. this for Canon Fodder i have this .uae file

floppy0=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANFOD-1.ADF floppy0type=0 floppy1=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANFOD-2.ADF floppy1type=1 floppy2=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANFOD-3.ADF floppy2type=1 floppy3=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/Canon Fodder/CANDATA.ADF floppy3type=1

with nothing else in it, and then it works...

@mitu said in Per game config:

If you're using RetroPie, then the method to use a per-game emulator is the runcommand launch menu, the .cfg file does not set the emulator, just configures certain options for it (after the launch).

Thanks for the response.

No, I'm not in retropie, I'm using Retrobat for Windows.

Then I'll have to put this game in a separate system.

Thanks again anyway.

Hi @laserbones , you can use ARRM to update only the metadata you want. See Wiki : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=scrape_text_only_en

@Darksavior Ty for this information! I am a visual learner so I usually default to youtube for help, sorry :/

@grant2258 I started a new topic on this to not clutter this one.

@mitu Alright thank you so much, I've discovered that the reason that my control only worked on Spider-Man was because that game supported Dualshock and not all ps1 games support Dualshock. What happened is when I went into the options menu, I had the pad type originally on standard and moved it to Dualshock, not all ps1 games are compatible with Dualshock and are only playable through Standard pad type. Thanks for the article @mitu I really appreciate it homie ❤.

Thanks.

@mariofilho Hi Mario, this forum is for RetroPie. I think you are looking for https://forum.recalbox.com/

Just moved everything into the main folder and all's well now. Thanks for your help!

Couple comments:

When using a USB drive through the auto-move capability of RetroPie, the entire RetroPie folder is read from the USB drive; i.e. it "replaces" the RetroPie folder on the boot sdcard. The videos you place in the USB folder of RetroPie/splashscreen (which becomes "/home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreen") can be read by the Splashscreen functionality, and even randomized - with some caveats I'll note below. You can always move the video splash screens to the sdcard folder of "opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen" and use them from there as well. You can do that in a number of ways: from the command line (F4) then copy or move the files from the "/home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreen" folder to the "opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen" or do the same through SSH or through the built-in File Manager application from the RetroPie settings subfolder. Hint: sudo cp "/home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreen/whatever your video.mp4" "/opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/whatever your video.mp4" wil copy the file. Replace cp with mv if you want to move the file. You must do this as SU (sudo) because the opt folder allows only root read/write access Caveat 1 for randomizing: Best to append the video files to the splashscreen list, and then randomize off that list Caveat 2 for randomizing: Frequently the very first file name on the splashscreen list will be multiple files all in one long line. Recommend deleting that entire line and manually typing in the first line. Editing the splashscreen list is fairly easy.
A. In the Splashscreen settings, go to "Append splashscreen to list"
B. Choose Own/Extra splashscreens (if your files are in the home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreen folder) or RetroPie splashscreens (if you moved them to the opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen folder)
C. Select the line you want to append (add to) the list and hit OK.
D. Hit Ok again to confirm the appended line
E. Repeat B-E for all the files you want to add to the list. Again - I recommend after you're done appending the files that you go back to "Manually edit splashscreen list" and make sure that first line has ONLY the one file on it. I also again recommend you manually type that one in. It might be easier to do this after you've appended a few files because you can just copy one of the lines you appended as the first line, and then delete the original (now duplicated line.) Once your splashscreen list has all the videos you want in it, one vide per line, go back to Disable splashscreen randomizer and enable it (or disable and then re-enable it.) You'll want to select the "Randomize /etc/splashscreen.list" selection.

Thank you for your feedback and assurance. I needed to discard that option so your feedback is so valuable. In the end, I have used the good ol' method: copy Pre made SD Image to SD card and set things up anew.

I have elaborated the table below to clarify the relationship between an SNES USB Gamepad , its Retroarch Port Binds and Default Actions as a result of Hotkey Binds. It's just a bit of an expansion of the Default joypad hotkeys section in the Wiki article on RetroArch configuration

+------------------+------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------+ | SNES USB Gamepad | RetroArch Port 1 Binds | Default Action | Hotkey Binds | +------------------+------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------+ | Up | -1 | [AI SERVICE] *Free to use* | SELECT + Up | | Down | +1 | [PAUSE] *Free to use* | SELECT + Down | | Left | -0 | Savestate Slot - | SELECT + Left | | Right | +0 | Savestate Slot + | SELECT + Right | | SELECT | 8 | HOTKEY | | | Start | 9 | Quit Retroarch | SELECT + Start | | A | 1 | *Free to use* | | | B | 2 | Reset | SELECT + B | | X | 0 | Menu Toggle | SELECT + X | | Y | 3 | *Free to use* | | | Left Shoulder | 4 | Load State | SELECT + Left Shoulder | | Right Shoulder | 5 | Save State | SELECT + Right Shoulder | +------------------+------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------+ Select button in SNES USB Gamepad is set as the HOTKEY button Free to use means Retroarch does not set a default Action, so it can be used for any purpose. [ACTION] = name of the manually-set action

Setting a specific Hotkey Bin to pause the gameplay [PAUSE] seems particularly useful when setting AI Service Pause Toggle to ON (RGUI > Settings > AI Service): Retroarch will pause gameplay, allowing time to read translated text, to continue only upon pressing the Pause Hotkey Bind. And of course, Hotkey Binds for actions can be redefined.

Cheers,

If the game as a PQ1 folder that you copied, just create a save under C:\PQ1 when prompted.
