@fitz43 Choose the overwrite option for the Gamelists in the configuration screen and it will re-scrape the already scraped ROMs.

@lostless i couldn’t swap them in the RetroArch menu because the confirm and cancel buttons on the controller wouldn’t work in RetroArch for some reason. So here is what I did and it worked perfectly. I downloaded retropie version 4.2 and re flashed the mini sd card. Now it works just fine. But thank you for your suggestions. Love this community.

@caelthunderwing @Ecks Man, I really didn't want to have to flatten and reinstall because I'd already put a LOT of roms on this thing, but the Kintaro image appears to have been the problem, yup. Using the base one from the website solved the problem. Time to start moving the roms over again!

At this point I just have input lag to deal with, but that's a separate issue I'm going to have to look into and make a separate thread for if necessary. Thanks for your help!

@mitu Not sure I'd call that "documented" as it's not noted as an important mount option, but indeed it is there with a "...mine looks like..."; pretty easy to miss when you're already very familiar with mounting network shares in ubuntu/debian via fstab. I've never used either noserverino nor nounix and never had that cause any issues at all... but then again, all my other hardware is 64 bit.

@chipsnblip said in Trouble accessing ScummVM data files on a samba share *within ScummVM*:

maybe this guide will help: http://www.das-werkstatt.com/forum/werkstatt/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2448

Interesting that he recommends using a symlink - I wasn't able to get the ScummVM GUI to follow symlinks at all, it just showed them as grey. That was my first stumbling block, as I've used that method with every other emulator (symlinks pointing to the mount point).

I wonder if my symlinks weren't working there because of the lack noserverino and/or nounix issue? I'll check up on that. I'd prefer to keep things consistent for ease of maintainability, so I'd rather go back to a symlink there too.

Thanks again everyone!

Don't mind me, but this is my first time seeing Linux get infected, let alone a Raspberry Pi getting infected. Fascinating...

This is not an "infection" via a virus. It's an open system and everybody who scans port 22 and got's a ping can try user pi and Password raspberry.

Voila... install whatever you want ... a php server with a full set of bitcoin mining user interface or a bot network a porn blackbox a torrent server a hidden ftp file server endless possibilities... Nothing that's really fascinating ... just meat for underground hounds

Well, yeah, I knew that. It's just fascinating to me, because I'm into computer junk like that. Though, I never said it was virus that infected it.

@hiulit @2Play
Maybe this script is interesting for you: Multi Switch Shutdown Script. There you have several options like and parameters like --es-shutdown or --es-restart

@noiz13 First, you should answer the questions asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, as requested by the forum.
For your particular controller, see these topics covering similar problems

i discovered (trying) that autoconfiguration doesn't work for single emulators, like psx. so i read some internet guides.
i configured it manually, editing the file /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg
adding this:

input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player1_b_btn = "k"
input_player1_a_btn = "m"
input_player1_y_btn = "i"
input_player1_x_btn = "j"
input_player1_l_btn = "n"
input_player1_r_btn = "m"

and this works. but i would like to use other buttons (the ones upper-right of this keyboard: https://www.google.com/search?num=20&newwindow=1&sa=G&hl=it&q=mini+wireless+keyboard+h9+2016&tbm=isch&tbs=simg:CAQSlwEJsBCE-pIGGwQaiwELEKjU2AQaBAgVCAAMCxCwjKcIGmIKYAgDEiixBoICpga6BrQGhxKgDLUGsAaGArwhqz2sPZ80wT23PbI94DaVNKI9GjBj7Kiy8UuBZo8x1oDaiZnH_1SIW4APyyJA5zG_1e3DOfb2yla_1PcHcPwD-Jzh0XPxiYgBAwLEI6u_1ggaCgoICAESBDolrPEM&ved=0ahUKEwjmoL-xr-LbAhWDiCwKHaiACOAQwg4IJSgA&biw=1360&bih=631#imgrc=kZkd0BQ1qYUw-M: )
how can i do?

@urko948 The roms / zip files shouldn't be renamed. Mame expects them with specific names, because in the emulator is a database of filenames and other informations. Thats why you need a specific romset for a specific Mame version btw. If you rename anything, then you should do this within the gamelist.xml or elsewhere related. So, you should bring back the original state of roms with original names. Then remove the non working gamelist.xml by moving the file to different place for later analysis.

And then? I don't know. :D Maybe upload the faulty gamelist.xml, so we can check it and maybe see something unusual going on.

@paf said in Game description in detailed view does not scroll correctly:

The power saving modes (other than "disabled") are not compatible with scrolling description text

So disabling power saving solved my text scrolling problem.

I hope this will help others to.

Man thank you! This bugged me for a long time and I always thought it is something with the Emulation Station Themes and just kinda ignored it. Many thanks posting the solution, you helped me at this point.

@dankcushions well there u go. So using glide is going to look pixelated. Using gles hi res will
Look much better but maybe under perform.

I’ve got banjo kazooie, Mario 64, Diddy kong racing, dk 64, Mario kart and star fox 64 running pretty decent on gles hi res now.

Waverace runs decent in rice hi res

Goldeneye barely passable on gles

Some overclocking done now. Guess I’m happy with where it’s at now then. Cheers.

@mitu said in How to setup my game into raspberry pi?:

the Emulators shipped in RetroPie support JavaScript based games (if your game is programmed in JavaScript), you'd need a browser to run it. RetroPie does not ship with a browser, but you can add it by install

i see, cause this project im working on now required to be play on web browser(thus the .js format) and also on an arcade machine(where my problem come in, the installation on raspberry pi)

So this mean my developer will need to code in perhaps in a coding language that can both run on web and in retropie ?

Thanks so much everyone

Just use the sdcard for /boot and mount rootfs entirely on the hd. Not only will it give you much more storage, but it will also almost eliminate the sdcard failure.

See steptoe's post.

I have 3 Pis, all mounting rootfs on real HDs (one over NFS, and two local), and apart from kernel upgrades, there are no writes to the sdcard (well, except when I play with cmdline.txt and config.txt - but that's just me)

@robin76 How about starting with https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ? Please give the answers for the questions on that page, especially the RP version and what emulator are you using to run the ROM.
Files in the ROM folders should never be owned by root, how did you transfer your ROMs ?
