Network mount of just the roms folder worked perfectly for Odyssey. Very nice call.

I was hoping it would somehow also fix the TGCD issue too but no dice unfortunately. Any thoughts there?

@Luca1 said in Retropie install missing emulators:

1 & 2 buttons seem to be mapping to 2 buttons on my arcade cab fine

Well, that's half the problem. As for the joystick, the software might be expecting to find an axis and isn't seeing one. I took a brief look at the Xin Mo controls and it appears to present itself as a keyboard with each button activating a key press. My arcade control system does the same thing, but I only use it for MAME.

If you're really intent on getting the arcade controls to work, you may have to find mapping software capable of mapping keyboard keys to a virtual controller. I've been looking for a similar solution for a while and keep coming up short. I know that xboxdrv can't do it and I'm pretty sure you can't do it in Joymap. You might want to look into Linux Joystick Mapper. There are also a few people on the forums here who have contributed to the development of UAE4ARM, so it's possible that they might find their way here and have some input as well.

I havent looked in a while, but last time I did in-game saves are .srm files.

I'm keen to hear how this turns out too. Using a Xin-mo controller in my Raspi powered arcade cab with uae4arm.

I was hoping that the joystick only games I played as a kid would be good to go as far as far as mapping was concerned..

"a lot happening on screen" is subjective.

I was fighting three medium sized ships with a lot of missiles while all three were giving me "bullet hell". That's when the tempo on everything dropped substantially.

What colour box did you get ?

I've never gotten a box. That's why I was asking about them. I guess I've never really abused my pi yet.

@obsidianspider said in SNES Bio-Metal slow-down (throttling?):

@Lyle_JP SNES shooters were notorious for slowdown.

As far as the Pi telling you when it's overheating, it's on by default. You have to explicitly turn that off.

Both good things to know. For what it's worth, I haven't been able to duplicate the exact conditions that caused the profound slowdown. But I still see minor slowing here and there in the game. I'll chalk it up to "typical Mode 7 SNES shooter" issues and not worry about it.

Thanks for everyone's input.

@spannernick1 and @obsidianspider Awesome, thanks to you both!

Thanks for the reply..

Since posting have solved my own problem and have the game working.

I was using a USB stick for my roms,

When I first started my retropie I was using incompatible rom sets, as I deleted them and replaced them with newer rom sets I feel maybe the SD card was re-copying the old wjammers rom file rather than replacing it with the newer and correct file

Frustrating...! But I hope this helps someone,

if anyone could shed some light on how to stop SD card re-copying unwanted files onto USB Would be much appreciated

The menu will populate with systems/ports when you add roms/game data.

I really couldn't advise anything on that other than another search through vogons.org. I play a lot of DOS games, but installing Windows 3.1 has never been anything I wanted to put myself through. Maybe I'm being unfair, but I remember it as being an unintuitive and unforgiving environment when it came to hardware integration. The Keymapper is of course an option, so at least you have a contingency plan if all else fails.

Thanks. I had to install as optional package. I followed the rest of video. Feels like getting a old hardware to work give the amount of time you need to setting Atari 5200 :)

Is a system to play more out of curiosity. And i love the AVGN Atari 5200 video.

@EricSawbo: I had this thought myself. Construct 2 can export to Linux, so maybe you can run it that way. I haven't tried it though, so I can't give any guarantees.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I was transferring over the network and it would crash when I was transferring the larger PSX bins. But I'm looking forward to learning more about Linux and networking so its all good. But that was using windows explorer. I haven't tried SFTP yet so I'm looking forward to learning that too.

@njt1982 Look here and also some of my post.

This is what you probably are looking for.
Sadly i have not been able to get a system wide configuration working but im now at emulator specific configuration.

@tebra said in Has anyone Gotten the Mayflash Gamecube Adapter to work with Retropie?:

Is it possible by N: Name="Wii U GameCube Adapter Port 1" and N: Name="Wii U GameCube Adapter Port 2".

Sadly no. Those do not actually point to the events.

if I reboot the rpi3 without my keyboard the event number will change. I'm right?

I believe you're right. However, it might help to rearrange the order of your devices in relation to the USB slots to where the keyboard is always seen last.

Hi,
I know this is an old topic and Solved too. But it fixed my problem and it took me a few days of looking though boards to find it.
My Problem was that videos (mp4 or streams: flash and html5) would run too fast, about 120% or so.
I have a Gert 666 VGA adapter and was running the sound out of the audio Jack.
I tested the setup on a HDMI TV and when I switched between "sound through HDMI" and "sound through Audio Jack" the video would go from playing correct speed to playing too fast.
After reading this post I removed the dt-blob.bin out of the Boot directory and restarted.
Videos now play correctly. It seems a better driver is available in the default packages than is provided in the Github suppository for the vga666.
I hope this makes it easier for someone else to find this post.

@backstander

I have a raspberry pi 3, and it turns out that same problem;

I can't install ppsspp from binary, just from source;

binary is locked on Setup screen and nothing happens;

source displays the error mentioned above;

This also happens when I try to install the emulated on the Dreamcast;

but Dreamcast worked installing via source;

Sorry i don't speak English!!
