@dankcushions.
the webbles and the googlings.

I'm stealing those technical terms;))

Or just say i have 2 screens and on 1 i want the main going thin like character moving and ike this and on the other the second screen where is map inventory etc and then if its possible if i dont play ds games it will be mirrored

@suko most games have a setup.exe or install.exe that has the options if not in the games options.

@hurricanefan I will try now thanks for the tip

edit* that worked thanks man

@newpiguy said in Issue With WiFi:

re it came with the Canakit
RetroPie Version Used 4.1 i believe
Built From: From retropi site
USB Devices connected: keyboard and ps3 controller

does your wifi key contain special characters? i had trouble logging in to wifi when first setting up my retropie until changing the keyboard layout (logitech generic). there was a tilde (~) in the password, but the keyboard was outputting a not sign (¬) instead.

@hurricanefan @herb_fargus i updated retropie setup and coolcv and the audio is fine. @HurricaneFan can you press start in emulationstation and go into sound settings and verify the volume is at 100% and not 77% ? Some coleco games arent very loud in the first place.

@darksavior

Well I updated it about month ago when I finished my PiStation build, has there been any updates since ?

@hex Definitely.
I just have a few small things to sort out in my life.
Then i'm going to get started.

Screenshots, video, text
Nice and clean.
Make it as id10t proof as possible.

@chipsnblip I've also tried with my iPad charger (5.1 volts at 2100 mA) and the same issue occurs with exactly the same repro steps.

This morning I tried a different distro (batocera-linux -- derived from Recalbox). Everything works without any issues on my PiZero W (NES, SEGA GENESIS, SNES). The only difference in my setup with batocra-linux is that my controller needs to be on the "D" switch instead of the "X" (my controller was not working in "D" mode with RetroPie). Maybe that's another clue to investigate. For the time being, I'll stick with batocera-linux since It Just Works™.

I will still be monitoring this thread as I am curious if anybody else is able to reproduce. I can't be the only one having this issue.

@djinnocide Thank you for your help. I tried to do a reset of the configuration, and now it works. But I had to configure every emulator for the Fightstick, one by one to make them to work.
Maybe it can be the new version of RetroArch (I noticed there's a new graphical interface). In the older version the configuration it was automated for all the emulators (maybe also in this new version, in different way).
Now it need some work to configure the keys and find the correct mapping but it's ok.

See you.

@leefy not a bother. Happy RetroPie-ing.

@edmaul69 was doing that but no joy. In the end I just did a clean install and everything is now working... well except psx will not pick up the bios

@cookingissues the keyboard IS a retropad, but that's not your problem.

as i said, i think your problem is that you deleted all the retroarch.cfgs. you can probably restore them by reinstalling retroarch and mame2003 and then running emulationstation's input configuration again.

@darksavior isn't there an option that works for all emulators, even non-Libretro ones?

What I am looking for is this

emulationstation displays in 1080p as soon as I launch any game, the screen mode and TV should switch to 720p and the emulator (even non-libreto) should display in 720p. The TV should show a mode switch to 720p hdmi mode. after quitting the emulator, the TV output switches back to 1080p and ES is displayed in 1080p again. I think the runmode script makes this possible, but currently I have to set it separately for each emulator.

I think there's a global option somewhere to set it for all emulators, but maybe I remembered it wrong.

But if the scaling to 1080p does really use no resources then maybe it is unnecessary to set this like I intend.
