@crimson0087 I’m assuming you figured out how to get up and running? I’m in the same exact boat as you. 1st game I got had 3 bin files, a gdi, and a cue. I know redream says it supports bin/cue and gdi but when I try and run the game by using the gdi file the title shows up but it says that there are no games. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@bluestang I am curious to know what exactly is using Vulkan right now on Pi4?

Wait... if i understand correctly the -rc it's stands for "readconfig" and in theory if you want to use a different config than the default one.
However it is actually yes... when mame it's executed it is he who automatically loads the mame.ini in the same path.

it's all documented here: https://docs.mamedev.org/commandline/commandline-all.html

i don't even think readconfig takes an argument. but anyway, you don't need to use it because you know where mame.ini is stored.

it's just the same as I read :)
I guess you're right... exactly here:
https://docs.mamedev.org/commandline/commandline-all.html#configuration-options

I guess the only thing you can do is disable or enable reading of .ini files....

I re-read the documentation better.... I had probably read and translated badly English-> Italian :)

@mitu Thanks for the help.

@slippy Which port exactly ?

@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.

Does this happen even outside of EmulationStation ? If you exit EmulationStation and move your joystick left, does it restart the Pi ?

@barbudreadmon @mahoneyt944 Sage advice from both. Thank you again for taking the time to help!

@mitu @mitu
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get notified for some reason.
I ended up using WinSCP, but I prefer it much less than the file share.
I'll try the registry fix and will report ASAP

@davindersangha @churchill7

Tried it. Didn't work. Just too unstable and some of the keys just didn't match up.

Next solution is to dismantle the old Atari joystick and replace the insides with joystick and controller. Need something quite small though, as the existing arcade ones seem to be a bit too big.

So, the plan is. Dismantle the joystick, have the standard single button and directional stick in the joystick, but on the controller board I would add some extra "buttons" connected to the Reset, etc. switches on the Atari machine to map with Start and Select and Back.

Most likely the .xml you created is not correct. If you look in the es_log.txt logfile (you can find it in \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation) you'll see any errors from parsing the gamelist.xml (careful, not gamelink.xml).

Post the gamelist.xml on pastebin.com to take a look.

Get a verbose log from lr-picodrie - see here how to enable it during startup - and post the log file contents on pastebin.com.

here is the methods of getting roms to the pis sd card
or probably the best way is to use an external USB drive and its just plug and play using this method

@kylelgamer420 please fill out all of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

i presume you're not actually running retropie, because we use retroarch v1.8.8

Many games from the last 30 years or so on consoles have guides, walkthroughs, cheat codes that can all be found there. Most of the time, a walkthrough will explain the controls for a game.

Another trick if you want to see what the instructions that came with the game look like, you can google "[name of game] manual scan".
