This tutorial worked for me : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch

On the Big List Of Things I Don't Want To Do, typing stuff like this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get -y autoclean

...is really, really high up.

(I mean, I don't even know WHERE I'm supposed to type that. I manage my Pi through the WinSCP interface and no command typing is ever required.)

You have to use PuTTY to type the commands.
Launch PuTTY, enter the raspberry ip and connect.
User: pi
Password: raspberry
From there you connect to the raspberry in ssh and can type the commands.
It takes a little time to update jessie at strech.

@shredman I had some problems installing FS-UAE but got it working great in the end. I had to install directly in debian first from https://fs-uae.net/download#debian then follow the instructions in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18409/guide-getting-emulationstation-to-work-with-fs-uae
Good luck

That is exactly the way I have done it. Did look at scripting it but a lot of my Arcade overlays need to move the screen to fit correctly with diferent aspect ratios

yeah i had a dreamcast backup game image with the dreamcast bios on a usb stick, just like the guide told me to, then i put it in the pi, but reicast didn't show up. then i look at the guide and it says to install the emulator you want using the package manager and whatnot. so i guess that's what happened.

thank you so very much for your help!

@mitu
Indeed you are right!
Thanks, solved now.

@Parabolaralus said in Select button does not work in links awakening gameboy color:

backlog/freetime/moneys do not get along.

Monkeys always win.

@mitu Thx for this. would you happen to know if I define a location of a folder that does not exist, will it create said folder for me or return an error instead?

@cyperghost My overall goal is to make a pacman & donkey kong machine that has a power button (on/off that saves the current state), and a button that switches games seamlessly (because currently it has to wait for the games to load each time) and hopefully a way to have the credits transfer between games.

ExFat I can confirm it works.

Ok, thanks.

I found a script to cleanup gamelist.xml files in emulationstation. I think I'll give it a go.

Thanks for your help!

@celly Thanks, I will give it a try on there, have never really used PSX on my PI although do have a few games.

Thank you for sharing your solution. The question remains why the save function from the shaders menu doesn't work for you and me, although the RGUI says that it did save the settings.

If you want to dive deeper into the "failed saving config" error, please open another topic about it (for tidiness and all), start any game from that core with verbose logging via the Runcommand menu, try to (fail to) save the config, and post the contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log in a code block in your new topic. 🙂

@polish-potato said in Keyboard won't bring up retroarch menu.:

Edit: Only the NES emulator does that for some reason. Ah w/e it works. :)

You might have saved manually the RA config in RGUI for the NES system, overriding some of the configuration that RetroPie sets automatically. You can check that by looking in \\retropie\configs\nes\retroarch.cfg - if it's a large file with almost all RetroArch options, then you've saved it - or reset it - from the RGUI.
To make the keyboard and gamepads work at the same time, I think you need to have menu_unified_controls = true in the config file.

@SpudsMcToole And I know that it works, I just wanted to help you solving the puzzle in retrospective. 🔍🙂

@mitu

ok. maybe there's a good samaritan among the "normal" users from the comunity who can help...

its a bug ... after each update, you will need to go to the spashscreen settings and make sure to change them to whatever it was already set to and the problem will be solved.

@Hustler66 They aren't related to the speaker position and are there so that the LED strips do not sit directly behind the marquee. If they did, you would see each individual LED glowing. The position was trial and error to get a well lit marquee without actually seeing dots.

@milok Useful for me, my gf deleted the retroarch.cfg and the one it autogenerates apparently is completely different from the default one? A lot of stuff is changed, including the entire psx interface for retroarch, and bios location.

Hey everyone, if this topic is too old I’m sorry and please redirect me if possible. Now to my issue, I tried the command above via command line and it says “command not found”. I did use a command to erase all the controller configurations to make the Os think it was a first boot, however, I don’t remember the command. Can anyone help with this? I can’t get any controller to work nor can I back out of a game.

@sirhenrythe5th Thanks you!! works well with this changes! Thanks!!
