here is my config.txt

@Lolonois Sorry I took so long to reply I have only just seen your reply to my previous message. If you download the source code and open it with CMake you will see an option to disable Batocera integrations. I don't now why someone has given me -1 reputation for my previous message as it works with caveats.

@sugarfree Ok that's great to know about the Vulkan driver. I do have it installed and working on lr-flycast-dev but was never able to get it running on the standalone version of Dolphin. It keeps throwing me an error.

So I'll give these scriptmodule changes a try right now.

Thank you!

@sleve_mcdichael said in Stand-alone Genesis rom dir:

I don't know why you'd want to update an existing link actually, except for that's how it currently does

Then it falls back to a design decision/principle of the inventors: Does RetroPie-Setup follow a "desired state" approach (=always recreate symlink) or does it have some tolerations (=if existing leave untouched)?

@Flexo55 Sure it is possible. Just think about your requirements.

Which input formats (16:9, 4:3, 5:4, ...) and resolutions (1920x1080, 800x600) should be accepted on the HDMI side? Which output standard should be supported? (NTSC/PAL or both?) Which framerate you need for your CRT (50Hz/60Hz/...)? Shall it support conversion options when converting e.g. from 16:9 (in) to 4:3 (out)? Do you also want HDMI audio looped through the device or will you use the Pi's headphone jack or USB audio? Do you want extra filters supported by the device, e.g. blurring, scanline modification, ...?

This might be one device as example: https://www.startech.com/en-ch/audio-video-products/hd2vid2 (obviously you need a Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter)

I would also ask or research in some AV forums on recommended products for your project and your requirements.

@mitu @BuZz I know this is an old topic, but I'd also like to delete my account. I posted another topic but tried to delete it(couldn't) since I felt it was irrelevant. I don't see any options to message any admins to delete my account so I was wondering how I'd go about contacting an admin to delete my account? I know my post will stay there but it's alright since I privated the topic since I was embarrassed by my question.

First, back up the config.txt file.

Then, try modify disable_overscan=1 by changing it to #disable_overscan=1 .

Also, the last part looks strange. Did you have add it to fix the overscan issue?

state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB full 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive pi@bartop:/ $ /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -m CEA Group CEA has 4 modes: mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive (prefer) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive mode 95: 3840x2160 @ 30Hz 16:9, clock:297MHz progressive mode 97: 3840x2160 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:594MHz progressive pi@bartop:/ $ /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -m DMT Group DMT has 1 modes: mode 4: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive

Generally, for overscan issues, you have to uncomment and change these values:

#overscan_left=16 #overscan_right=16 #overscan_top=16 #overscan_bottom=16

So, I've updated the bootloader to "NVME/USB Boot" (got the green screen and rapidly flashing green light), removed the SD card, placed a USB stick (flashed with Raspbian Lite) into one of the USB3 slots, and it won't boot.

I get the message below:

Any ideas?

READ THIS FIRST before asking for help.

It's been a while since your post, but I wanted to offer some insight. I had the same issue with using cheats in Retroarch MAME, and it took me a while to figure it out. One thing I want to point out is when you’re playing a game, you can enable cheats through the Retroarch menu by setting “Enable cheats” to On. Alternatively, you can enable cheats globally by editing the configuration file to include the line mame_cheats_enable = "enabled".
If you’re into more advanced game hacking, you might want to read this guide on kernel-level injectors. It has a lot of useful information.

@Addison No Problem :-)

@SuperMazut yeah. Retropie only cares about the retropie-mount folder on the USB drive -- whatever else you do with the rest of the drive, doesn't matter.

I have done exactly that myself because for some reason I couldn't get retropie to run on top the Lite OS. Long story short, I like it. You can set boot order to run Retropie first and you got a desktop environment as a bonus when you exit RP. I have yet to find any disadvantages to that... Space efficiency maybe, if you have a smaller SD card?
