Just a point of interest, Streets of Rage / Bare Knuckle isn't actually 2 ROMs but a single ROM that changes based on the language / country setting. It will even do this dynamically in some emulators and on real hardware if you have a country switch mod.

Load SOR and wait until the title sequence / back story start to play and once the story starts scrolling up, enter the GUI and change the language to Japanese and then exit the GUI. The story will continue to scroll and then change to Japanese after a few seconds.

@spiderclock54 Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please provide more info (eg PSU)

@foldi84 are you holding the 0 zero key for 5 seconds while powering in the vision daptor to put it into intellivision fb controller mode?

@arj5193 once you get into the game press your hotkey & X at the same time.

I just came across this issue and I fixed it by doing exactly what mediamogul said. Thank you. Do not press escape to exit the menu, select "exit to game over". After the game booted up, I exited using "hotkey" + exit and the settings stuck.

V2 of my toolkit may help you out. I have a script to do this exact thing.

If you take a look at my channel (in my sig) the legacy (old) version of my retropie toolkit will also do this for you.

Hope this helps!

@kikinaak https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#runcommand-launch-menu - press any buttons during the ROM start and choose to run with verbose logging, repeat the steps to reproduce the problem, then look in the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log).

@baviaannl __Mupen64Plus __ is a standalone emulator, so it's not getting its settings from RetroArch, you can try lr-mupen64plus (which is a Libretro emulator) and see if it works.
For standalone emulators, just like for libretro emulators, ES will try and generate an input configuration file when you register your input. If you modified it in-game, then you can edit/reset it as described in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/

@usarmyvet Please provide more details - which games, what's the error message, what emulator ? Are the permissions on the ROM folders correct - can you write in the folder as the pi user ?

@majere How are you checking the status ? A normal lsusb should list the USB adapter. If you run dmesg | tail immediately after plugging it in, you should see if it's detected, something like this should be printed:

[ 2.305588] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg [ 2.450005] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0a12, idProduct=0001 [ 2.450023] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 2.450031] usb 1-1.2: Product: CSR8510 A10 ...

If this is the product you're using, it should work without problems.

I should have looked harder. I found the clarification I needed. Those options are saved by design:

@BoogieMan core options are managed from RGUI (select+x) -> quick menu -> options
They are saved automatically.
See documentation for more info on using retroarch.

@fruitybit yeah the programmer is probably the best retro game programmer on the planet. He did an awesome job on this game. I harassed programmers and game producers for a long time to make a pong clone. Luckily rev got into producing intellivision games and had the same dream to have an awesome pong game made.

@shakz thanks for the info. I just like to give credit where credit is due when I use someone’s work.

Keep it up, your videos have helped me learn a lot over the last couple years.

Tried another card today.... Retropie installs and boots, then after adding roms I get the dreaded "garbage" message.
I added roms this time with Emulationstation off, and rebooted.

@namin Downside is I don't like the other controller as much.

@mediamogul Reinstall did the trick, ta :)

Still can't figure what the heck to do with XEX files, mind you.
