This was the first thing I noticed when I loaded 3.7 for the first time. I always go into retroarch to chance interlace to off. It was already off and I remember saying "oh, thank god!" lol thanks for that!

Thank you!

Actually this is a pretty common problem.

You need to edit the config.txt file. If you insert the MicroSD card into a PC you'll find this file at the root of the SD card. You can edit it with Notepad.

If you're within the Pi OS using SSH or locally, you can find it at /boot/config.txt. You can edit it with Nano.

Change the line hdmi_drive = 1 to hdmi_drive = 2

Reboot if you did this via SSH or locally.

Yep, fully understood with those comments, good point my suggestion is not mame specific. I completely forgot that lr-mame2003 uses the built in TAB menu which is what you are using for rebinds. It doesn't really affect me which is probably why I can use rebinding via retroarch with no ill effects, as I don't really use save states etc, and my exit emulator button is mapped to escape on my Picade so that never changes. Core input remapping as per what FBA uses would be lovely, but I have read previously that it is not supported in mame2003 so not expecting that to be added anytime soon! :)

Cheers

You can buy special black tape to put over the warning lights in you car. I don't think that would work as well on your monitor. :-)

Just found the setting on my profile that I had to edit, sorry, ignore this!

@wetriner I tried it again too. Didnt get a double entry on the USBGamepad.cfg this time. However when I ran super mario 64 the select button wasnt working again. After checking mupen64plus.cfg I saw it had failed to bind "Joy Mapping Stop" etc again...

No worrys I just enter the values myself, I wanted to understand why 3.7 wasnt auto doing it though yet 3.6 does. Guess I'll never know

From your description, I believe your problem has something to do with switch debouncing issue. Google "switch debouncing" if you don't know what I'm talking about. Most likely it's due to a poorly designed hardware or/and poorly written firmware. You might be able to fix it by using a couple of capacitors + diodes.

Good luck.

Sorry I should have been more specific. When I launch it, as per the wiki, I don't get the option to load anything. When I type "CAT" it tells me that there's no disk inserted.

Thanks, I will try it tonight :)

regarding speed - you may want to compare your results with those on the compatibility lists on https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

if you're getting different results from others, maybe it's a different issue. you don't have a shader on? overlays shouldn't affect performance but shaders for sure can!

/tmp/runcommand.log may show some sort of error, after you get a failed load

@Ornitorick putting your es_systems.cfg is still better practise in /home/pi/.emulationstation as any update or new system you install will reset it otherwise. You'll just have to manually keep it in sync as new systems are added or updated

@Rascas thanks, ill give it a shot later tonight.

@herb_fargus

Thanks Herb, but no luck. Have tried it allready, but no effect.

Ok I found a way to do it: I use RomCenter and create a new database. Apart from DAT files for emulators, RomCenter comes with DAT files for specific systems, like CPS1 etc. I add the folder containing all my asorted roms. RomCenter will only show me the (working) roms for the system I set up the database for. I can then select all roms right-click and choose to copy them to a new folder, which is then my clean, sorted folder for that system.

@dankcushions my problem was to select and split roms into different folders for different systems (automatically).

I've been searching, finally found it.
