@peterd0404 said in 8bitdo SF Pro - up/down left/right are not the same analog joystick:

I assume I have to modify emulators settings for the analog sticks. Are there instructions to modify that?

Check the emulator page in the docs to see more details about input configuration. There are 2 kinds of emulators present in:

Libretro based emulators - they're run from RetroArch and they all benefit from the same input configuration. You can easily recognize them by their name (lr-...). To configure them, just press Select + X while in-game and then you'll get the configuration menu for RetroArch where you can change your input settings and then save it.
I'd suggest trying to set your gamepad with the Analog option - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#analog-controller-type

Non-libretro emulators (like advmame), which have their own input configuration. RetroPie will try to pre-configure them, based on your input mapping from the Emulationstation configuration dialog, but some of them might require tweaking.

@alturis said in Deleting default.cfg:

Now when I attempt to run SpyHunter with mame2010 it always boots up in diagnostic mode with no apparent way to exit that mode. Just a screen full of various tests that can be performed and reports.

Figured this out. Needed to use the keyboard to select the "Dip Switches" option in the mame2010 in-game menu and turn off Service Mode.

@djpj3000

It's likely you could get it to run through Wine. Normally, this wouldn't be recommended, as the results would be pretty slow. However, a basic editor like PKHeX might run decently well. Rather than point you to a single tutorial out of so many, do a Google search for "wine on raspbian" and just pick one that suits you.

note that when you used enhanced resolution, the resolution is doubled. so shaders will have to process 4x as many pixels (ie, probably run slowly), and the effect will be less obvious since the pixels are much smaller.

@alturis said in Editing mame2003 cfg file:

Is that expected behavior? Is there an editor or something?

Yes, it's not a text file. Quoting from https://retropie.org.uk/docs/lr-mame2003/:

These files are not human-readable, but can be safely deleted if you get into a mess and wish to return to the default configuration.

@boelze said in ?SN Error on XROAR Emulator:

I have the exact same issue as OP.
Tandy CoCo games give me the ?SN Error.

For others looking into the issue of coco roms and the screen error ?SN Error seen when running coco roms...

"The "XRoar" coco emulator is a coco 1/2 emulator, and doesn't support the coco 3 functions. The rom image you are using most likely requires a 512k coco3." - @DABONE

@shaxs how u can use the 2.4 GHz adapter? I used it and retropie detected the gamepad but If i pressed buttons to "configure" dont work, idk why, help me pls

@quicksilver From https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/overclocking.md:

force_turbo Forces turbo mode frequencies even when the ARM cores are not busy. Enabling this may set the warranty bit if over_voltage_* is also set.

I don't think it would have much effect on performance, but it will certainly make your Pi run hotter.

@wrenchbender

@nicky_s14 Have you tried transforming them into EBOOT files files ? They can be compressed while changing the format.

@polyfusion said in Help - Retropie Rotate 90 degrees with 4:3 Aspect Ratio:

. I'm using a 64GB image that has version v2.7.3RP

What do you mean a 64GB image? Retropie isn't available as different images. If you got a third party image from elsewhere, you really should be looking there for support.

I'm not familiar with any electronics terms, so all I can say that I did connect the blue wire to the top connector and the white wire to the middle one (of the three connectors facing right on the picture). All I know is that this works. :)

@royal-lizalfos you've provided no useful information in order for people to troubleshoot your issue.

Read the read me first page and fill it out in order for people to help solve your problem

@buzz The main reason I wasn't using the official image is so that I can use the box for multiple purposes--I can launch mate desktop with startx or launch retropie after I've logged in. I'm building a palmtop/portable emulator. If it's pretty easy to set up the official image to do so, maybe I will just use the image--sure beats installing and compiling all the packages.

@glitchyboyhunter I didn't give you any 'codes', just pointed you to the file where Emulationstation might log any errors.
You just need to get the file from the Pi - you use a PC if you have one connected. You need to open the \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation folder in Windows Explorer and you'll file the file I pointed out earlier in that folder. Upload the contents to pastebin.com and get the link here in the forum so we can better log at the log.

EDIT: Make sure that Emulationstation is not configured with Parse Gamelists only set to On (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#why-does-shut-down-and-reboot-take-ages), otherwise any new game/rom added will not be shown. If you do, then turn it off, then restart Emulationstation.

@dankcushions Could I maybe have to delete the driver for the keyboard and re-add it? If so do you know where the config is for the keyboard?

many thanks by the way. There was a guy on youtube taking about you Floob and he had nothing but the best to say about you JS

;)

@dankcushions said in Weird issues regarding retropie-setup and mupen64plus.:

@r4l

get rid of the overclock. any stability/freezing problems = get rid of the overclock

i don't know why you're editing files. mupen64plus should get automatically configured when you configure your controller in ES. if you're using a proper n64 controller you may need to do some manual tweaks after that to get the c-buttons working nicely, but i would take one step at a time.

Do you know how buttons are mapped in mupen64plus? They are automatically configured, often times the WRONG way. You have to turn off hotkeys in autoconf.cfg and make controllers fully manual in mupen64plus.cfg. Then you have to set the right button mappings in InputAutoCfg.ini. Basically I set up the controls in ES, then I fix them in InputAutoCfg.ini because if I don't, they are totally wrong.

As for the overclock, I am using a Mackertop 5.25v 3a PSU. Even at 1.4GHz, the system is totally stable. Everything else works fine, except N64. I guess I could try going to 1.3GHz and seeing what happens, but I don't think that's the problem.
