@dankcushions said in It's possible to put ES in somethigs like "second level" or minimize it in some way?:

@djdiabolik i am really not interested in forum drama, least of all forum drama in other forums...

i'm not sure how we 'snubbed' it. no-one supplied a build script, or source code, so what are we supposed to be doing? mame's license requires the source code is released, so it's a requirement...

I can only agree with you.... even if I wasn't banned from that board now. Your source request is necessary.

Anyway now I'm here.... I think I can speak, and we can speaks, freely about their emulator and his general usage here without anyone being offended.

Now i'm going to bed and try to sleep :)
Tomorrow i thinks i can post the feedback about @mitu request upper here....

sorry for this little ot too..... and thanks again for the support received until now.....

@mitu
Here is the output of the xrandr --verbose command

<script src="https://pastebin.com/embed_js/ZLcEUMcd"></script>

There's a analog deadzone core option.

Retroarch quick menu-> options-> analog deadzone -> value

Make sure the game is mapped to use analog and not the dpad in the mame menu.

Mame menu-> Input this game-> AD Stick X / Y.

@krazeetyger thanks mate, I can confirm it works! Steps taken:

Installed latest Raspberry Pi OS Desktop or Lite does not matter, just make sure to boot to CLI.
Installed RetroPie manual, see: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/
Installed xpadneo through RetroPie-Setup under Manage packages -> Driver

sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Add the next line:
Privacy = device
to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

Install SDL2 2.0.14:

cd ~ wget https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.14.tar.gz tar zxvf SDL2-2.0.14.tar.gz cd SDL2-2.0.14 mkdir build cd build ../configure make sudo make install

Verify xpadneo is running properly:

lsmod | grep hid_xpadneo

should output something like:
hid_xpadneo 20480 0
ff_memless 16384 1 hid_xpadneo

if not type in console:

sudo modprobe hid_xpadneo

verify again.

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth sudo bluetoothctl [bluetooth] agent on [bluetooth] default-agent [bluetooth] scan on [bluetooth] pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX [agent] Accept pairing (yes/no): yes

The light on the XBOX controller should now lid constantly which means it's connected, you can configure the buttons in RetroPie, at this moment LT and RT buttons do not work (it does not register), anyone have a solution for that?

I use a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB with the default WLAN/Bluetooth, not an external dongle.

Enjoy!

For anyone who wants to tidy up their game list, if you want just 1 entry per game for multidisc titles then put your multidiscs in a hidden subdirectory (one per game or all together, doesn't matter) and just reference them in the m3u file(s).

For example, this hidden directory (the dot at the start of the directory name makes it hidden so ES won't display it):

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/segacd/.Night Trap (U)/

Contains these two files:

Night Trap (CD 1 of 2) (U).chd Night Trap (CD 2 of 2) (U).chd

Then this m3u file:

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/segacd/Night Trap (U).m3u

Contains the following text:

.Night Trap (U)/Night Trap (CD 1 of 2) (U).cue .Night Trap (U)/Night Trap (CD 2 of 2) (U).cue

You'll also need to make sure the m3u extension is included in your es_systems.cfg file under the segacd system, like so:

<system> <name>segacd</name> <fullname>Mega CD</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/segacd</path> <extension>.chd .CHD .cue .CUE .m3u .M3U</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ segacd %ROM%</command> <platform>segacd</platform> <theme>segacd</theme> </system>

@yfzdude Went in and found each of the emulators (under Manage Main Packages) one for Genesis (lr-genesis-plus-gx) and one for TurboGrafx-16 (lr -beetle-pce-fast), and updated both of them. Then I rebooted.

No change in Showcase.

@drb

I created an account to say thanks and to also say I had better luck using "Rufus" to perform the iso to usb step.

That ISO to USB tool just didn't want to work for me.

Gparted was straight forward and I was able to resize my partition of my img so it would fit on another card.

Thanks again!!!

@jedcooper Sorry, never got around to fixing it. My menu widgets are already disabled, but the issue persists. I'm assuming that it's a similar issue to the one people are reporting with widgets, but not sure what more to do with that information unfortunately.

My other approach.. has been to emulate SNES on my Wii, haha. For an unrelated matter, I'm getting a VGA666 board in the mail some time. I don't expect that it will make a difference with this particular issue, but I'll give it a try anyway and report back if it makes a difference.

@gazbusola

My issue clearly had to do with pulseaudio, which I have no use for (at least for now!) on my current Raspberry Setup.

Your issue might have to do with the different HDMI modes. Have you looked into the config file for all the HDMI settings?

@drdave79 if /etc/emulationstation doesn't exist it would break standard retropie - that's where the carbon theme is kept. can you show a screenshot of how you're trying to navigate to it or something like that?

Do you know how to remove the "custom override" so the es_systems.cfg gets properly updated?

it shows you where it is in the error message - just delete the whole file. obviously that will remove all the custom changes you've made, so if you want to just fix this system you replace it with what's in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg for the psp.

Ah ok, thanks for the reply and good to know it's fixable. Is it ok to request added support for games here then, if we come across any more?

Do you have your ROM folders on the network on the sdcard ?
