Yup, that was it... wrong ROMset. I didn't realize this is MAME version from 2000... but it works great now.

Thanks for the help.

Apologies, and thank you. I guess I suck at searching.

I really want a Raspberry with retropie in an DMG case.
Im sure there are tft screens that will do the job.

In my case this fixed the problem:

Open the command line of the Retropie system (locally or via SSH) Type "sudo smbpasswd -a pi", and then enter the password again ("raspberry" if you did not change the default)

After doing this, the Mac can connect using the user "pi". Anonymous access still shows an error, though. I think the upgrade of Samba did reset some configuration settings.

Thank you so much. I'm new to the whole emulation thing and it's people like you that really make the community great. Cheers!

SUCCESS!!! Thank you so much! i never would have found that on my own! i am having one other issue though. it works fine if i just have the four controllers in the mix, but if i plug a keyboard in, it too takes presidence over the bluetooth controllers in the index list and bumps them down to js3 and js4 instead of js2 and js3 like i have in the .cfg file, even though i dont have the keyboard setup for controls. i was wondering if there is any way in the core config files of the pi to force a controller to take a certain index when connected. it would solve a lot of the issues im having with some of the other emu's and ports as well. again any help is much appreciated

Go into /opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconf.cfg and change mupen64plus_hotkeys to 0. That will stop it from writing over your custom edits.

@glennlake That was exactly the problem! For some reason my time isn't set either, even though im using cabled connection.

Oh well, thats a problem I'm willing to overlook for now..

Thanks!

@phillymadison go to configs/all and delete your videomodes.cfg, should reset your video modes for each emulator. Dont worry the file will regenerate if you change any video modes.
As far as the launch menu https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/runcommand

you can configure the run command from the retropie options. Its called run command editor. You want to enable launch menu.

@wetriner I most likely need an externally powered usb/hdd

@lilbud

Is it the Master System or Mega Drive version?

Have you tried renaming the rom to see if any new results appear by using different variations of the name? Eg: Sonic2, Sonic 2, SonicII, Sonic II, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic The Hedgehog II? Not sure exactly if it will work in this case but I know it has on some of the games I had issues with. Some still refuse to scrape though no matter what I try.

@bisus said in retropie on crt:

hi guys
do you know what I need to do in order to be able to use the rca plug to use the rasp on a crt ? Is there any option on the distro to able thie feature ?
thanks a lot

In your boot config file just uncomment this line.

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2 <---------------

Hey,

i tried my luck with the Scraper, it works on most systems but on ScummVM (even though i checked to have the same filenames like in the sheet 2) i will get the following error:

XML syntax error on line 22: element <meta> closed by </head>
Any hints where to look for the problem ? Thanks

@ShootHere said in Dragon's lair Retropie? Working?:

It downloads a .bt file, is that the file that is used in the end?

I was rather confused about the approach.

Yes if you read the thread I linked on post #9 it shows where to find the files etc you need to move to your Pi and how to set it up properly.

@wetriner said in Keyboard Emulation with Gamepad outside of emulators:

@TheLuthier There is definitely supposed to be joypad functionality in the retropie setup menus, and I believe it has been there for as long as I've been with RetroPie(something like 2.7 or so) It's just based on your joypad 0 button and DPAD. But it's set to work for typical setups.

UPDATE: Aahhha! You sir, are correct. I tested and indeed my joypad 0 works (R1 for my setup) and my analog stick is used for navigation (though it's a bit backwards with X axis being up and down). Essentially this solves my original question - Thanks!
