@byam1234 said in Resetting controls for Mame4all:

n mame4all and now none of my controllers or the keyboard will work.
I have tried the following:
-Deleting the default.cfg file.
-Removing and reinstalling mame4all from the retopie setup menu.
-Deleting the mame4all folder across the wifi using my laptop and reinstalling with the
original files I have saved on my laptop.
-Resetting all configurations for emulation station: from the retropie setup menu- manage main packages- reset configuration for emulation station.
NOTHING WORKS!!!!!
I have tried everything on the forum and I am at the point

delete all contents of the mame4all cfg dir as well as default

nothing needs setup the default retropie config is set to

system_directory = "~/RetroPie/BIOS" your problems are arising from messing with the default config , you need to be careful when changing the configs on retropie.

retropies default mame install copies the the cheat dat from here https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/tree/master/metadata to the bios folder on install. your not supposed to save retroarch configs with retropie unless you know what you are doing fully. The cheats do work on a default install nothing needs done.

Then it means you have the default repositories and there's nothing you should add. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem - pcsx2 does not have native 64bit binaries and it needs the i686 (32 bit) dependencies installed. Your current distro configuration does not have installable packages for the dependencies needed to run pcsx2 - this is not a RetroPie problem, but something that's entirely up the the distribution you're using.
You could try installing the i686 version of Linux Mint and you won't have this problem.

@psyke83 Any tips on how to build from libretro's git? I don't mind testing.

odroid go isnt running retropie i dont even think its running Emulation station

from what i understand its running a custom launcher made to look like ES

I'm not at the pi at the moment (left the house after making this post) but I can definitely confirm that it erases what I added without appending another.

The game/console I have been using as an example is Game Boy. With the entry for Super Mario Land, the scraped (using default ES scraper) data does not generate a <players> tag in the metadata entry within the gamelist.xml. When I launched the game and played it after adding one, the data saved added a last played date and times played entry, and erased/overwrote the <players>1</players> tag that I added (and saved) prior to launching and playing.

I confirmed by comparing to other titles that my line of xml was formatted exactly as others were that scraped with a <players> tag, but notably those that obtained that data from thegamesdb.net via the built in scraper and remained undisturbed are always greater than 1, which makes me suspect that ES reads a not present/defined value of players as 1? Not sure why it would erase or overwrite it though.

I inputed /dev/shm/runcommand.log and the response I got was: "Permission denied"

That's not how you open a file in Linux. Use SSH and copy the file from the filesystem, then open it on your PC to take a look at it/paste it here. Also, have you checked the docs I mentioned and the checksum of your BIOS files ?

Sorry I forgot to paste this in on my previous post.

It happens at boot in emulationstation in emulators and in kodi

Pi Model or other hardware: Pi 3b
Power Supply used: 5v 2.5a
RetroPie Version Used: 4.4
Built From: retropie website
USB Devices connected: all controllers and keyboard
Controller used: ps4 wired, dragon rise, Xbox 360 wired
Emulator: all and shell and kodi

@alanhorman pressing f1 would have told you this as well.

I've been running PCSX2 for a while, it is heavily optimized for Windows and you are going to have a significant performance drop unless your machine is a beast.

@mitu thanks brother,

@starrslytleangel said in PSX Game Metadata does not save after exit error message:

By downloading the image will it erase what I have put on the retro pi?

Once you flash the official image to your card, it will erase everything prior, leaving you with a clean system.

Ok I see... So it's possible to use my script and retropie However, only on a computer.
Thanks for the information I wasn't aware that on RP almost all emulators don't run on X.

Thanks a lot :)

@sebretro said in Periodic stuttering/freezing with RetroPi4.4 on a Raspberry 3B+ in every game (1-2seconds):

Does anyone have know about this problem? Thank you for your help.

Looks like an insufficient power problem - the RPI underclocks itself not having enough power. Take the PI out of the case and do some testing to see if you get the same problems. The NesPI cases are notorious for this kind of problems.

You could move the save file to your PC, go passed the broken area and then put the save back on the Pi.

There is a new input mapping screen starting with RetroArch 1.7.2 - https://forums.libretro.com/t/new-input-remapping-menu/15584 - and as a consequence the previous re-mapping files are not working. I think that's what you're experiencing. Can you give more details about your system - as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

@matitrol said in Partitions in the SD:

Is it a card problem or something?

No, that's normal. The 1st partition is a boot partition and the 2nd one is a Linux partition. On the 1st boot, the 2nd partition will be resized to fit the rest of the free space - up to 16 Gb.
