@Mayonaise said in audio bugged out:

is there any alsa applet for panel?

Yes, I think it's the lxplug-volume package.

audio config always says enable pulseaudio

Are you using the latest RetroPie-Setup version ? Did you run an update after installing from the RetroPie image ?

@sleve_mcdichael cheers and thanks again for reporting back. :-) One more thing: As a courtesy for other other forum users (and robots from some search engines): Could you please edit the title of your first post and add [solved] somewhere? Thanks.

@Red732 said in Onscreen Gear Shifter Visibility Options:

Does anyone know how to remove the onscreen gear selection from games like Pole Position? I’ve seen it before, but I can’t remember where the config is.

Weird that I was just playing with this on Monday...

Complimenting what @dankcushions provided, and using Pole Position with any version of MAME other than 2003-plus:

Hit TAB on a keyboard to toggle the MAME menu Select Video Options

Then, depending on which version of MAME you're using:

For lr-mame2003

Select Dip Switches Set "Display Shift" from On to Off

For lr-mame2010 - lr-mame2016:

Select either "Standard (4:3) or Pixel Aspect (8:7)

For lr-mame 0.222 and below:

Select one of the "Screen 0" options instead of the default "Shifter-R" option.

For lr-mame newer than 0.222:

Select "Screen #0" Then select one of the "Screen 0" options instead of the default "Shifter-R" option.

For the bleeding edge versions of lr-mame, there are some newer video options that allow the shifter to be off the screen as another option.

i use my Pi-Models 1-3 with CRTs (1x Samsung / 1x Bang&Olufsen)
Of course i wanted to connect the Pi4 also with my CRTs, but i only tried it once and burried that idea.
At least concerning the composite out.
Maybe i had bad luck and my Pi4/the AV-socket is broken, but the picture was H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!

I am still searching for a verfied method to connect with better quality (Gert666, Pi2Scart etc.), but did not find anything that runs out of the box without any issues or performance loss :[

@djavs said in IM STUCK start4.elf:

i got this image Raspberry Pi4 running VIRTUALMAN PLAYBOX v1.4.5.14 512GB RETRO-BLISS-REVOLUTION!

We don't support 3rd party images, as outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Use the image from https://retropie.org.uk/download and you'll not have this issue.

Well it was worth a shot. Maybe I’ll keep playing around and stumble across something. I appreciate the help though.

@TeeEl Sorry to hear that. My arcade cabinet has a 32" tv, but the problem started for me a few months back. But I couldn't pinpoint exactly what caused the change (I already had a similar post about it). Thankfully for this post, I was able to find an option that worked for me. I hope you do too!

@windg Thanks going to buy a new SD card today.

Re: Fixing a Konami arcade cabinet.

So turns out this model is super old. It has a monitor and a VGA port (the model is: hp Hewlett Packard Pavilion) the motherboard seems to be okay. Just dusty. I plug in everything and the monitor works but nothing shows on the screen. I'm starting to think it is the power supply of the pie or the VGA port not working. Any ideas?????

In case anyone's keeping track, Reddit user McDutchie says:

Ctrl+C interrupts all the processes in the current process group. When your [jslisten] is invoked from .bashrc, I think you'll find it shares a process group ID with bash itself. You can check this with:

ps -o pid -o pgid -o comm

The -m option, a.k.a. -o monitor, causes bash to give background processes (including those invoked from a subshell, as you're doing) their own process group, so that Ctrl+C does not interrupt them. This option is on by default for interactive shells, but profile scripts are run before bash turns it on. But you can turn it on yourself within the subshell that you're invoking the background process from:

[[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]] && (set -m; /opt/retropie/configs/all/jslisten/jslisten /dev/input/js0 &)

This does indeed seem to be my solution. Ctrl-c (for example, to cancel a half-typed command when I notice a typo at the beginning) no longer kills the jslisten process, allowing my "logout hotkey combo" to remain functional.

@exitkioskmode Looking at the video you posted, seems like you're not using the 1st HDMI port - the one next to the USB-C power port. I also don't see the bootloader diagnostic screen, specific to the Pi4.
Just to make sure, you're using the latest RetroPie version (4.8.2), written from scratch ? Note that the 1st boot will not start EmulationStation, since it will resize the Linux partition on the sdcard and then reboot.

@BuZz Thanks

@daubsi Yes. The .rp-dist files are created when an emulator is installed or updated and the default config has been changed (as it won't overwrite your custom config).

@mitu thanks for the reply. I turned off my shader preset to see what would happen, and it does improve performance to "mostly" 60fps. The global shader I use is just "sharp-bilinear-2x-prescale" which afaik isn't supposed to be demanding at all, so I'm surprised performance tanks so badly with it on.

Unfortunately I've screwed up the video settings for all the snes cores by attempting to remove the global shader preset from bsnes, while keeping it in place for snes9x. Shaders don't work at all for snes anymore, and different resolutions in the runcommand menu aren't even working... I don't know why that happened.

Bsnes is causing me too much trouble, so i'm just gonna uninstall it once I restore my backup...
