Do I have to be connected to the internet for them to install,

Yes.

What is the maximum number of roms combined across all systems it can handle before start up and/or crash is a problem?

Haven't done any extensive testing, but I recall a while ago a forum member tried to load more than 100k games and ES crashed due to insufficient memory. That was on a RPI 3, which had something less than 800Mb RAM available (the rest being taken by the GPU memory).

On a RPI4, with more RAM available, things might be better. Of course, if you're not using a SBC, RAM may not be an issue.

Is it really necessary to go through checks? Eg. if I symlink within a system to a specific folder on a large HDD, could it build a list only when I go in to that particular folder?

Symlink-ing won't help much, you can already mount your ROM folders from an USB drive and this would speed things up for the initial scan.

I suppose if I built a massive gameslist.xml and not parse, would this help or would that be just the same as that's the way ES works?

It would help with the initial loading, otherwise you'll need to wait for ES to re-scan the folders on start and depending on how many games you have, that can take a while (not only an a Pi).

@stephenuk Had you tried to set the port for the HDMI Parameters within the config.txt? From the Raspberry Pi Documentation

Because the Raspberry Pi 4B has two HDMI ports, some HDMI commands can be applied to either port. You can use the syntax <command>:<port>, where port is 0 or 1, to specify which port the setting should apply to. If no port is specified, the default is 0. If you specify a port number on a command that does not require a port number, the port is ignored. Further details on the syntax and alternatives mechanisms can be found in the HDMI sub-section of the conditionals section of the documentation.

@mitu Can do! New to the forums and still figuring out preferred practices. Thank you!

@buzz Thanks buzz you are a star, dukenukem and Marathon working again, I was going crazy thinking jeeze what have I done to my raspberry pi. Massive thanks again

@windg It sure is! I decided to load up Mizzurna Falls, A game that I knew for sure crashed during the intro now runs fine. I couldn't find any glitches in the Gran Turismo introduction and played driver for about 6 hours without a crash. I know thats not all but those were it for me. The only thing I am unsure of is the end game event is Final Fantasy 8.

@grocket12 The repository used by RasPI OS automatically redirects apt based on your location to the closest Rasbian repository mirror. If that mirror doesn't work for you, you can manually change the URL in /etc/apt/sources.list to one of official Raspbian mirror servers - https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors.

@sirhenrythe5th Yes. I even used the official Raspberry Pi program. I think I figured out the problem though. Thanks for the reply!

@cdaters Hmm, hitting Start does nothing for me.

@frederik said in FBNeo error:

can you tell me how to get the missing files from/from FBNeo to the right place on my retropie SD card?

No, rule no. 1 from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules.

I don't know many things about CM4 and how you can use it, but If you haven't open the box, try to communicate with the shop, maybe they can accept it back.

@sirhenrythe5th That's interesting...Aaron never said anything to me about abuse, just that it was increasingly difficult to split his time between shepherding MAME and work obligations.

@indyviduum It does a CRC check and a name check to see if it matches one of its known configurations. Otherwise it just uses its default profile.

@razielus said in Bluetooth usb dongle not powered after reboot.:

Built From: Darish Zone Retro Machine 512GB

We don't support 3rd party images here in the forums.

Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download and run an full update (OS and RetroPie packages), then try again and see if the dongle is detected after reboot.

Hi,
I had problems, but mainly down to directory structure.
I've attached an image of my ports folder.

You'll also need to edit the shell files for each game type e.g.
doom2 would be:
#!/bin/bash
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 PORT "doom" "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2/doom2.wad"

Plutonia Experiment would be:
#!/bin/bash
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 PORT "doom" "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/final-doom-plutonia-experiment/plutonia.wad"

@noneononeo said in Three player button/joystick setup is not configured properly - don't have a linux computer to edit the file on. Is there another way?:

Built From: (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website, Berryboot, or on top of existing OS etc.. - please provide the filename of any image used): Not sure as this was purchased from a facebook seller.

We don't support 3rd party images and selling a RetroPie image is against its license. Ask the seller for support or start with the image from retropie.org.uk/download and we'd be able to provide support.

Hi,
What internal resolution for flycast are you running? I'm using 800x600 and output at 1080p, core resolution (no integer scaling) have no issues running dreamcast games at all, apart from WINCE (windows CE) games as I'm using the recently reverted flycast core, these are not currently supported. Check you are using alsathread for audio and turn of shaders, as most shaders are too demanding (I do use 2x presale bilinear/zfast on all games without issue). Oh and check you are using recent BIOS files as well.

Here's parts of my config:

reicast_alpha_sorting = "per-triangle (normal)"
reicast_anisotropic_filtering = "4"
reicast_boot_to_bios = "disabled"

@zoura said in UI messed up after full storage:

@sleve_mcdichael That helped a bit, still very basic names and apperantly no photos for the RetroPie items, but thanks!

Try reinstalling "retropiemenu" from the setup utility under manage packages > core packages.

@sleve_mcdichael said in Eduke bug in toxic dump with the second shrink room.:

I suppose it could just be [[ ! -f "$dest/duke3d.grp" && ! -f "$dest/DUKE3D.GRP" ]], but this still wouldn't catch mixed-case like Duke3d.grp if someone had that, and I'm sure we don't want to test for all 2^(8)=256 combinations.

Sometimes it's just easier to rename the file. Steam and GOG releases have lowercase names for .grp files, so most of installations would be covered.
