@Fantomas Only a few PS1 games used passwords exclusively (Doom comes to mind)..most games used the memory card. In those games you can save the game just like how you would do on the original hardware. You can use savestates (save at any point in the game) in all games.

@dan18774 Hm, maybe your TV has a auto-close timeout that turns off the screen (?). Try to see if using the Game Mode will make the problem disappear. Or you can try changing nothing and when the 'freeze' occurs just turn off/on the TV.

@jp Please open a new topic and state your problem, don't resurect old - resolved - topics. Add the information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first when opening the new topic.

@mitu , I just updated the documentation on how to autostart games properly using runcommand in https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-would-i-start-from-command-line-say-the-snes-emulator-by-itself

Hopefully this clarifies the procedure to more novice users and saves some headaches :)

On first start, RetroPie will resize the filesystem on the SD card and then restart, so it's normal.
The subsequent restarts should start automatically the Emulationstation frontend, after displaying the boot text messages. Does your PI always restart ? Did you leave it to restart by itself the 1st time it boots ?

@MisterMints Okey thx must have misunderstood the tutorial hehe..

@rbaker sorry for the very later reply!

I didn't even noticed your post until now. Just apologized to Cyde earlier today for being late haha.

That makes a lot sense RBaker and thanks for the link to your thread and time. Just i tested the controller on my other Pi and it worked good. Some reason when i uninstalled the PPSSPP and Reicast emulators my problem was solved.

@jladd1113 Try updating the 4.4 image with the latest OS packages, that would the only difference between the 2 images. If that doesn't work, then you can manually install RetroPie ontop of Raspbian - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/.

@IanDaemon i found that when I'm in game and I bring up the retroarch menu, I can't move anything in the UI. The cursor will not move with keyboard or controller. I'm stuck there until I hard reset the pi because I have no input. I thought about a reinstall but I spent a lot of time scraping and setting up and I'd hate to have to do it all again.

@dankcushions

Well I guess I wont be playing that game. Thanks for the info

@VictimRLSH not really enough CPU power, but it has enough GPU power - http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/

then Kodi can play back DVD with hardware acceleration.

@mediamogul said in Did Fix-It Felix ever happen?:

Seeing that Steam Link was merged just a few hours ago, this should allow the Windows version of 'Fix-it Felix Jr.' to be played on the Pi without much hassle. Granted it'll be streaming from a Windows PC, but in all likelihood it may be the only way this particular game and anything like it will ever be playable on the Pi.

Am very much looking to someone somewhere posting a "How to add Steam Link to Retropie for dummies" guide...
