you can change aspect ratio to 16:9 via https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Configuration-Editor/ - you can either do it for all libretro emulators (most of the emulators on retropie), or for individual ones.

this will stretch the original (typically 4:3) image, but if that's what you want...

@mbrett ummm... do you have the game files in the C:/Games directory?

I've never used that program on the Pi, but I'm pretty sure the actual game wouldn't be supplied from the experimental menu since providing roms is a bad thing in these parts. You probably need to get the game somewhere else and put the right files in the right place.

You'd probably need to look for instructions on which versions would work with it too since there were quite a few.

Good luck man. That was an AWESOME game. If all else fails, you should try the PSX version if you can find the image. I actually prefer the Playstation game over the DOS game.

@weyland can't you give me any advice?

@ortsac I'm gonna try it with a new ad card and see what's happens and thanks for the help brother

You need to go back and delete the gamelist files from every console. They'll most likely be red. Hit F8 on each one from each console and confirm the delete. Reboot the emu station and re scrape all the games. I suggest scraping from the archive. I believe the files are .xml files

bump...thanks

@edmaul69 Hi i am attempting somthing similar with a Super Nintendo reset button and am looking for a script that will exit the current game and go back the the game select screen.

Do you happen to know of a working one?

many thanks

@w44dde your issue is pretty common, check your wires on the joystick. I bet you have the wires connected "upside down" on one of the joysticks. Simple fix should be just to switch the wires connected to the joystick for player 2.

Would creating an image require me to have an SD Card reader?
I believe that has been the source of the majority of my current hurdles, however I liked the flexibility of having NOOBS just while im getting to grips with the RPI3 and what im planning to use it for.

Cheers for the advice though.

UPDATE:

By disconnecting my Pi from the internet, I was able to install the Jessie Version 8 of Raspbian, otherwise it was going online to retrieve Stretch Version 9

From here on out - it's a standard install, Binary options were available, and now its all setup.

Seen as I already have Pixel Desktop Installed how do I enable the Pixel Desktop Option in PORTS without "Installing Pixel Desktop" via the RetroPie-Setup?
It didn't seem to work last time.

@mattrixk I'll give it a shot, thanks

@charlie22911 You can try now to re-compile - do a fresh git clone/pull or a re-install from source in RetroPie. It looks like the last 2 commits fixed the compilation error - at least for me it compiles now, didn't try running anything through the core in the emulator.

Looking back at this post with that image i posted man my table was dirty lol.

One of the creators of retrorangepi was able to solve the issue for me via Facebook:

"from terminal:
wget http://www.retrorangepi.org/asplashscreen
sudo cp -v asplashscreen /etc/init.d/

If you want to change the boot screen and tune or enable splash video, edit the file:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen (in plain terminal) OR
sudo pluma /etc/init.d/asplashscreen (in Desktop mode terminal)

comment/uncomment lines in do_start function (remove or add #)"

Worked like a charm. Hopefully this might help anyone who runs into the same issue.

@confusedgorgon yeah, I empathize... It's unfortunately a more common affliction than ideal. Glad it's sorted.

@bytethis the biggest problem is samsungs are the best and they are faked soo much more than any others. I actually had gotten a 128gb bootleg version off of amazon. I am willing to pay the local price to guarantee its legit. Sucks you had a bad card.
