@boneclaw Try another website for your roms (Google "roms" and use the first result). And NEVER open that exe. Most likely some form of malware.

---edit---
Late to the party apparently... ;)

@remino just make sure you keep updated backups.

The docs cover this scenario - take a look at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive

Do others still have this with 4.3? I updated from 4.2.[something] (the version where Emulation Station's splash screen changed to black and Emulation Station gained support for video previews) on an RPi3, but still have this crash. I even rebuilt ES by source through the retropie_setup.sh interface.

I am using the selph scraper to fetch video previews, and as a part of that the "images" folder and the gamelist.xml file are now instde of each of the rom folders instead of under ~/.emulationstation. Has anyone else had this issue with the same situation? I might try nuking all of the scraped info to see if that improves stability.

@BuZz, is there a ticket out on this issue that we can follow?

@edmaul69

oh really? I spent hours figuring it out so I'll just leave it lol. Atleast I learned a lot today. Speaking of music, I read that you needed all the music files in mp3 format named correctly in the same folder as the wads to get game music working, but the original music is working just fine in normal doom and doom 2 by just changing the midi device to OPL. Was that an old issue? I have all the mp3 files but didn't have to use them

Try to run these commands separately:

sudo apt-get remove --purge lxde*

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get autoremove

reboot

@jonnykesh but the game is already in the gamelist... its only images/video which are missing. Wouldn't -append skip the game completely, and not check to see if it has new images/videos?

@azamoth
As @caver01 told you there are several ways... and your display just needs a few Pins as told....

If nothing else helps use MCP23008 or MCP23017 gpio expanders and connect to I2C-bus. But please don't ask me how to do this. Never used that :)

So Can follow the entire tutorial except mktable msdos must be mktable gpt
and after create the fat32 and ext4 partition like mentioned?

The fat32 partition is to make the external HDD bootable by USB.

@mediamogul is the only 3D option a Red/Blue, or is there an option for side by side (my TV can create 3D from a side by side)?

I'm not fully up to trot on "Shaders" but while browsing around, there was some mention that somehow, I may be able to smash the shader and Retropie bits together and get a side by side 3D?

Ultimate goal: Raspberry Pi 3 B outputs 3D signal over HDMI, OR a side by side 3D image with the TV converting to a 3D image.

Or it could be impossible, I'm not sure.

@dirthurts I'd stick with the default. If you are running a RetroPie on a Pi you would be saving literally pennies a year by changing this setting.

@cyperghost thnx, i Will try iT.

@updawg The only way is to change it in the ES source code. Sorry.

@3n1gm4 Choose option 7 Advanced Options

@flynne26 said in 4 player on snes:

Sorry if this has been answered before but I can't get 4 players to work on the snes emulator, the 4 pads work on the arcade emulator fine so I know it's not the pads

According to the docs, you should be using lr-snes9x2010 as your emulator and enable the 'Multi-Tap' support in retroarch.

See the https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/ page for how to configure retroarch.

@barbudreadmon I did yes. Back then I only updated lr-fbalpha 2012 which didn't improve things.

Did you ever succeed with this? Very soon I will be looking to have 2 arcade style controllers all the time in my cocktail cab and then I would like option of plugging in gamepads occassionally.

@giorgoc said in Question about ROMs / Compatibility:

This ROM plays quite well on the PC. But on RetroPie , it won't even start.

I'd suggest you go back to the docs pages and have a read. Mame requires specific romsets for specific emulators.

That is fantastic news! Thanks for letting me know. I'm gonna spend the evening updating and then have a play. :)
