I fix it by manual editing retroarch.cfg in all and psx, nes, snes etc.
I needed to have saves in saves/snes, saves/snes/snes making a conflict with rclone.

I bought the machine pre-configured and don't have the ability to login directly to the Raspberry Pi.

Then ask the seller for support, we don't support systems sold with RetroPie - see https://retropie.org.uk/about/legal/.

After trying different types of level shifters I found no fix for the random mistakes for the button presses. The issue looks to me the select lines are misinterpreted. It is a mistake in the input, not a random false press.

The presses not showing mistaken in jstest. There are references where gamecon_gpio_rpi lists that there are issues with Gamecube and N64 controllers due to variations in timing due to cpu frequency changes or such. I get these "incorrect" presses when in scrolling through to select games, I get them usually just a couple seconds into a game launching. They may be slightly different between controllers.

At this point, without any input on something else to look into I am unfortunately giving up on using db9_gpio_rpi for the Genesis type controllers. I would love to be able to use it, it is a very nice feature to have and my setup was design specifically to include two db9 ports.

I am going to try to see if mode 3 "Multisystem 3-button joystick" mode will work reliably. It will give me some use of the db9 ports. I do have a Multisystem 2-button joystick, but it is not registering the second button press, I makes me wonder if the logic is backward from the C64GS 2 button? That will be my next thing to look into.

For the Genesis 6 button controller I guess I will use a
DaemonBite-Retro-Controllers-USB adapter. I wanted an integrated solution though.

It's the emulator (lr-retro8). Masters of the Universe is already reported as non-working and I guess other games may have the same issues (either loading or during emulation).

Best to use the official Pico8 simulator and configure it in EmulationStation to launch the games with it (see this topic for an example configuration).

@mitu,

Oh yes you're right, if I go down to the directory I can see the images...

Thanks..

@obrie572 The modifications have been merged by @pjft, so they they should be available in the -dev branch right now, until promotod to the stable branch.

Thanks again for the bug report and the fix!

@BuZz
Yes it is.
Thank you very much.

@KpCollins hi, could I ask you to try with the scraper I'm developing?
https://github.com/zayamatias/retroscraper
It should be working with dragon 32, although I have not tested it, so some testing would be appreciated.

Thanks!

*** Edit: just tried myself and it took less than 2 minutes to scan +530 ROMs, +400 succesfully found and video/image downloaded...

I think the hid_nintendo driver works for USB connected gamepads, but it seems your controller is not 100% compatible with the Switch Pro Controller and the driver doesn't add the device.
You can check if the controller is properly initialized by running via SSH:

dmesg -w

and then re-plugging the controller. There will be some messages from the driver - if there are errors, then it means it's not working properly and the input device doesn't get added. If that's so, then I'd get a different controller, one that's advertised of working with a PC also - not just the Switch.

I was able to fix this issue. I tried a third television that it worked on. I guess retropie didn't like the refresh rate or resolution on my monitor originally? I was able to set the settings via the other TV and now everything works fine on the intended monitor.

@BadFurDay Sort of...

I tried compressing to mp3 with scummvm_tools and it does play, but the quality is terrible (not only in lr-scummvm, but everywhere). I guess the format is slightly different and scummvm_tools isn't completely compatible. [EDIT: But I only tried once. Might be worth trying to compile scummvm tools from source or try on a different system...]

It seems that Talkie Builders can't create mp3 version directly (but maybe I overlooked something).

EDIT EDIT: Talkie builders can create mp3 versions and they work and sound great.

@mitu Interesting! Thank you very much for your feedback! I'll check how the library emulates the keyboard!

My fallback is a microcontroller to emulate the keyboard, if the software portion is too complex.

@DirtBagXon Thx!

@Treco

A while ago I added the stickfreaks binary install option in my script.
Still in the the secret menu/test menu though.

If you want to try, let me know, I will send you some more info.

@BuZz thank you for the extra pair of eyes. I'm on a version from a week ago, but indeed going over github commits the version changed recently from 3.3 to 5.1 in the meantime.
And indeed that commit includes the change:
"Move rom location for amiberry/uae4arm/uae4all to $biosdir/amiga".

@windg said in Duckstation - How Do You Load Saved Game Data from Another Game?:

Maybe the issue here is that every save file is a different memory card. Try to use a shared memory card so the system can read the save from the first game.

You can change this setting from RetroArch .

Quick menu > options >Port Settings > change to Share between all games.

I was able to do it.

On Duckstation I went to Settings>Memory Card Settings then for Memory Card Type selected Shared Between All Games. Then I went to Tools>Memory Card Editor and for Memory Card on the left side selected the first Tomba game and on the right side selected Tomba 2. Then I moved the first Tomba saved game file over to the right by pressing >> and clicked Save.

@mitu

Hmm, unfortunately that didn't fix anything.

Reflashing a fresh image of the latest version of RetroPie also caused the same problems. Very strange as this has never happened before... could it be an issue with the CM4 bootloader...

I've never had this issue before. I'm using a relatively old bootloader for the CM4 back from February 21st... is there a way to manually override the framebuffer resolution or change it?

I only could fix it by adding fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -g 800 480 800 480 16 to rc.local, but this is less than ideal…

fbset -s output shows:

mode "640x480"
geometry 640 480 800 480 16
timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
accel true
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

When it should technically be geometry 800 480 800 480 16... I did try adding the below to /etc/fb.modes and rebooting, however this didn't seem to fix it

mode "800x480"
geometry 800 480 800 480 16
timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
accel true
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

tvservice also shows the following output:
pi@retropie:~ $ tvservice -s
state 0x6 [DVI DMT (87) RGB full 15:9], 800x480 @ 59.00Hz, progressive

However within /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes, it shows:

U: 640x480p-0
U:800x480p-0

Is there a way to remove this second value in this file/will it provide any fix? I am having issues sudo nano editing it at the moment due to permission problems, however I have figured out a crap workaround which just writes the following command to rc.local (would prefer to avoid this): fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -g 800 480 800 480 1
