I haven't use .chd files yet. Are a game with .chd format require more processing resources to run, than bin/cue format?

Well, 3 days later, no more weird out of frame picture! I think I can safely say that it solved it. Thanks again @mitu !

Please post some details about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu thats how I had it previously.

It must be something else.

But not a big deal everything still works.
Great system retropie.
Thanks Sim

Yep, same error. If I'm understanding that thread correctly, the only way around it is to have an older version of MAME? Which you cannot obtain unless you had a backup of it?

@Crush said in SD Card running out of space.:

One last question if i may, is there a way to do the opposite of expanding the SD card? IE: strip the unused space.

Yes - see pi-shrink, it's not included in RetroPie.

@Riverstorm said in cpu governer leaves v3d only at 600mhz at one pi4 while going tot 815mhz on another pi4:

So if those calculations are correct you're going to need 74,481 cubic centimeters which is roughly 745 cubic meters for the Pi's alone. You're gonna need a fair sized room!

That's true, but a) it's cool, and b) with a little work on the interior design, you may be able to actually live in it! 🤓

(The video's creator already had shrunk the power supply quite good by serialising it.)

@mitu - I like the way you're thinking

I wanted to say that to both of you guys. One thing that remains is a proper name. Off the top of my head, the rather unspectacular "MegaPi" came up, quickly followed by "ClusterF*ck". 😉

@MeltedPineapple is the sound not working in EmulationStation only or the games also are without sound ?

@mahoneyt944 said in Has anyone tried to get MKII PLUS+/UMK3 PLUS+ working?:

Mortal Kombat 2 Plus Beta 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Plus Beta 1 have been officially added to mame2003 and mame2003-plus. Update these emulators from source to play these along with many other enhancements made daily. Now bootstrapped to fix low volume and CMOS errors at boot.

ROM Names

mk2p umk3p

Pretty cool. I just set these up with both MAME 2003 (as .7z) and FB-Neo (as .7z). Best of both worlds.

In scriptmodules/system.sh:

# Debian unstable is not officially supported though if [[ "$__os_release" == "unstable" ]]; then __os_debian_ver=11 fi

So, I added the following after this:

if [[ "$__os_release" == "testing" ]]; then __os_debian_ver=11 fi

This did not change anything (or using 10 there). So, this is likely a bit more than not detecting the debian version correctly.

The only issue with mupen64plus is that the system will try to compile that by default during installation and this ends up in error.

@mitu Thank you so much! Indeed, it was precisely in the full path to the CDROM folder.

As a result, the command looks like this:

[autoexec] MOUNT c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc-games c: cd Rayman MOUNT d /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc-games/Rayman/cdrom -t cdrom RAYMAN.EXE EXIT

@DorkVonWaterfall Because that does not remove the user's details. Not everyone wants to have each and every bit of their digital past preserved for years or even decades.

@YFZdude @mitu @dankcushions

It was the freaking port.

I connected it to the second port and booted it up, then started playing around with the config again. Lo and behold, hdmi_group=1 didn't cause a catastrophic error! The rest was cake, thanks to you guys.

Very much appreciated, thank you so much for all your help!

@campbell87 said in Superpi case - shutdown script not working.:

the only difference on this case, is that the pi is powered by the case, so my power cable goes direct into the case, and not the pi.

Sorry did not get this.... The old case was not directly wired, so there was no plug to put on the GPIO header of the Pie?
Can you send a picture of the old case please?

Your description of the new housing is the usual wiring. But nice you get it working now :-D
Which script did you use now? If you use the crcerror script then you can terminate any running emulator by pressing reset button.

@lucaparzival2022 said in Updating my 4p cabinet to pi4 (total noob):

Im sorry people. Look, I'm new to this forum and I hadn't read the rules set by the moderator. Also, I used to make my own images until I realized how much time I was wasting so now I use a 3rd part image. I still edit it and add roms and emulators but not adding everything. Let's just say I enjoy playing the games and not hunting down various roms and bios and editing random config files. Im only 16 and I have better ways to waste my time.

There are no better ways of wasting time, take that back!

Thanks for that! I had the same freeze issue, and setting up Gravis Ultrasound fixed it too :)

Not necessarily - you can remap one of the existing buttons (X/Y/L/R) to be the P2 start. For the games you mentioned, it wouldn't be a problem, since they have very few buttons.

@Ottoclav said in Pimoroni pHAT BEAT DAC not available as audiocard:

I’m running Retropie 4.6.6 based on Raspbian Stretch

The 4.6 image is based on Raspbian Buster, why are you using an old release ?

I attempted to install the driver for the pHAT Beat from the command prompt and rebooted.

Can you post the config.txt and /etc/asound.conf files ?
