@axrst ARCADE is not an emulator, its a folder where you place roms and then choose an emulator to run them using the run command. If you are electing to choose a non-libretro emulator such as mame4all or pifba, they will not be configured on startup.

@c0tt0ntail are you sure its not a lightning bolt or thermometer? What color is it?

With advmame on a PC (and I assume you are on a PC..the rasp pi is NOT going to run area51 no matter how hard you try.) The chds have to be placed in it's own directory..at least by default.

/home/user/.advance/image/kinst/kinst.chd for example

place the chd in /home/user/.advance/image/area51/ so it's full path is
/home/user/.advance/image/area51/area51.chd to the chd

make folders if needed...

So what i mean is

Open your advance folder Make a folder named image if one is not there Make sure your folder is name the SAME name as your chd file (without the .chd extension of course.) Place your chd file into the folder area51
(as mediamogul has said) Now place that folder into the media folder

so now your chd is at /.advance/image/area51/area51.chd

Now try to load the game

@suatdon retropie does not work on android - I think you're in the wrong forum :) you could try here: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues

@mitu i can't

@bytethis said in Issues using RetroPie forums with Mozilla Firefox:

@madmodder123 Better ad block software is ublock origin than Adblock Plus. Adblock got bought out and compromised. Conversation here : https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/7s7r4s/unable_to_get_playstation_bios_working/

ublock origin : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin

Ublock blocks more unwanted ads..popups..etc and 100% effective.

Apologize for going off topic in your thread.

Ah that seems to have been it, ublock origin is working fine for me now. Thanks for letting me know about adblock plus, I remember when they were on top, but I guess times change :/
Interesting though that it seems even though adblock plus was disabled for this website, it seemed to be causing the issue.

@mitu I did it, but then suddenly my wi-fi dongle stopped working. Then I tried some more troubleshooting attempts for that and messed stuff up even more.

Much as it pains me, I'm just reinstalling RetroPie and doing it all from scratch. I made backups of everything, so hopefully I'll be able to salvage some of my customizations.

@mitu Scraper source was my issue. Vids are downloading now. Thanks for helping me resolve.

@jmhogan0 The file is actually hosted on Amazon's servers, but it's of little comfort. We had spurious reports over time of users not being able to download the image, but it's not always clear why the download stalls.
You could try to download the torrent (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4400/torrent-download-retropie), but make sure you verify the hash of the file or just install Raspbian and install manually (see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/).

@mitu you told them to pacth it?

Thanks that's all I needed to hear.

@tackskull

Move out to the root menu, then to 'Input'. From there, you should see the player one input map menu selection.

@dudleydes thx, after edit line 13, must reboot before taking effect, that's weird.

I had the same issue with the same controller. I suspected it was the Xpad driver and was correct after updating everything else individually.

I'm not certain it will fix the issue, but here is my working Xpad driver's entire folder.

Working Driver: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HYT5lnioWIvuF3LuNHe4Wf91DzfLM5-k/view?usp=sharing

These go in /opt/retropie/supplementary/xpad, but everything in there requires Root access to alter.

I hope I was helpful.

Please give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Bluetooth connection can induce lag, but I suggest you test first with a wired controller (I think the SFC30 has this option) to see if it's the lag disappears or if there are other factors that add lag. Make sure your TV is set to Game Mode - if that's what you're using.

One method to improve the Bluetooth connection - and reduce the input lag - is to get an external BT USB adapter and disable the onboard BT or to disable the Wifi on the Pi. The 3B+ model has a better wireless chip (BT and WiFi), but since you didn't provide any info about your device, it's hard to determine what's the status on that.

Sorry it took me a while to copy some roms over and check everything out but yeah they played normally.

@malixx Good to hear you figured it out!

@mitu na all roms are running on the sd card, 32GB sandisk. I have a few of them that I cycle through during updates etc. All of them have shown the same behavior. I haven't changed default config.txt.

I'm using an LCD monitor with hdmi, not sure if that was the screen question :)

Also the map message only happens with Galaga so far, Berzerk does not show that it just completely freezes, screen does not go black like Galaga does.
