Thank you for clarifying and defining the difference. I thought I was going mad, because no matter which menu I was going in, I could not find the ''override option'' anywhere. Was I using a different software? So I just assumed it was the remap option which obviously wasn't working and I can understand why.

After some searching, I realized that a bunch of options including ''overrides" where switched off, not to be visible. So I just tested what you mentioned before and it worked! Now I can use the arcade sticks, even for beat'em ups and shoot 'em ups on consoles, (game override). Thank you so much!

@yfzdude

Awesome, thanks a bunch dude. This is a good setup, appreciate the help.

@vodkanakas I mostly rely on savestates, and sometimes save in-game. When I move to disc 3 soon, I may encounter problems.

@dankcushions, when I try to install the optional package in manage optional packages, Its saying not installed, install options disabled (unable to access Internet).

@mitu Case is closed. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks for your time and help!

@mitu hi i think I have the same problem. I have downloaded the psp emulator from optional packages in retropie and moved roms to the psp folder created on my USB drive but no psp icon is showing in retropie, can you please explain how to do the....... deleting the es_systems.cfg located in /opt/retropie/configs/allemulationstation/ file fix mentioned earlier. I don't understand that sorry.

@mth75 What are the settings in Retroarch.
Do I have to change anything in the audio-driver section?
My setting is sysdefault:CARD=USB

ATM I have sound in ES but not in the emulators.

@mitu

Tested with symbolic links as discussed by Parabolaralus here, seemed easier, and for anyone running my specs they should have no issue running gamecube games. Runs flawlessly so far.

Open the runcommand launch menu when launching an arcade game and check if there isn't a video mode specified for all the games running with the arcade emulator.

@buffyp00h said in Audio stutter in some SNES games on surround receiver:

All have the same problem on soundbar systems (and likely also on surround receivers).

I just don't get why these particular games generate hdmi sound that gets wrecked by so many setups, one would think there was a way to fix this at the source - the generation of sound on the pi/other device.

Just my 0.02 here, the world of modern TVs and home theater/surround sound devices is needlessly complicated for these simple old tasks we are trying to recreate here with simple digital signals (ironically that are emulations of old analog signals).

What I would try to see if it helps:
Many TVs have a "game mode" that is intended to reduce or eliminate "signal processing" to enable a more pure, delay free signal and timings. Many surround sound receivers have something similar, although it is usually called Pure Audio or Direct Sound mode. You might see if your receiver has this option and try it to see if it eliminates audio hitches.

For what it's worth, I have an Onkyo receiver at home and even with modern consoles I have noticed that something in the HDMI convergence where all video inputs are routed to a single HDMI output to the TV will cause a 'gap' in sounds sometimes. (After a dead silence of any kind, the first sound made is either dropped entirely or gets cut so I only hear part of it before normal audio resumes. Sort of like the audio stream has to buffer up before it becomes stable again.)

EDIT: Hit the submit button too soon and wasn't done typing.

@mitu

OK thank you. I will start from a new image.

After installing Daphne, re-configure your gamepad in EmulationStation again then see if the mapping works in Daphne.

@adamlevowitz
Donkey Kong is one of a few old MAME ROMs that is known to require a "samples" file. The samples file includes the sounds for Jumpman walking & jumping, Donkey Kong stomping in the beginning, etc.

In the folder structure you can place this a ZIP file which includes these sounds. Do not unzip the file, this screenshot just shows you the path and the contents of the zip file:

If you're curious a list of six MAME2003 ROMs are known to require a "samples" file. There may be more, but these six are Berzerk, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Mario Bros., Q*Bert, and Track & Field:

As someone mentioned before, MAME is picky on file names.

Solved..
I've updated the ownership of below folders and all files under it..
sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi
sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs

it fixed the issue, when IP or any change such as C or H , has been made on netplay setup . it wasn't update the "netplay_ip_address = " in retroarch.cfg accordingly.

thank for helps.

@mitu

Thanks! This gets stranger.
Originally I was using a MicroSD Adapter to read the card on a built-in SD card reader in an HP Elitebook 2540P I5 laptop running Windows 10. Today, I used a different micro SD card reader (a USB version this time "T-flash USB") - didn't even know I had one, but found it by chance when I was going through my USB drives in order to install gpartLIVE as bootable drive) on the same laptop. When I looked at the micro SD card using this USB reader, disk manager showed the 256MB partition, another space of several gigs, and a large unallocated space (albeit TOO large). I wiped out the partitions (using Diskpart I believe). Then I saw a capacity of 2TB of unallocated space (on a 128GB card!!!). I got gpart to run on my other Retropie SD Card (never actually needed the USB drive) and using the same USB reader, it too reported 2TB for total capacity. Other Linux utilites reported the same capacity. I tried a different SD card in this USB reader and that reader always shows SIZE 2TB, but it does show the correct partition sizes. Now I had the opposite issue - too much space reported. Various partitioning and formating utilities choked b/c I think they were trying to read/write beyond the actual capacity of the drive. On a whim, I put the card back in the original Micro SD card adapter and disk manager showed 116GB unallocated. I created a simple volume and it worked. I imaged the card and the Pi booted. Almost 24 hours later and I'm almost back to where I started. I thought these adapters were just devices which passed the connection through pin for pin with no 'smarts' in-between. Maybe the built-in card reader had an issue? Dunno. In any case, thanks for all of your help.

@jjrambo Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@night5hade This worked perfectly! thank you!

@tiberboi The 2 GB is more than good enough. Like I said - you'll never use more than one.
Take the extra money and spend it on a fan, heat sinks, a strong power supply and a case. You'll get your moneys worth.
