@RobbyThomas2525 Ok then, with a stock 4.8 image from retropie.org.uk/download EmulationStation works - did you do any additional configuration on your system, like installing an additional display driver or modifying the config.txt boot configuration file ?

@mitu Ah thanks for the advice. Turns out I only have the Pi3 so even if I could somehow set up the thing to recognise I had a Saturn emulator on it, it's like you said it more than likely wouldn't run very well or even at all. And to think I spent all afternoon browsing the thing's files to try and find a backdoor. Oh well. Sticking to pre 1995 consoles for now it seems.

@sleve_mcdichael Sorted - upgraded Rasbian from stretch to Buster.

Bump? Did I post this in the wrong place?

@MarsBar said in Amiga Emulation Problem:

I just have a card that has an 'overlays' folder, and a lot of files.

Sounds like the card is still in your PC, and so you're only able to view the small FAT32-formatted /boot partition. The bulk of the image is on another partition in EXT4 format, which cannot be read by Windows. You'll need to put the card in a Linux system, or put it in your Pi and remote in with SSH/SFTP to view the full filesystem. (There's still no amiga folder, until you install one of the optional Amiga emulators through RetroPie-Setup: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#updatinginstalling-individual-packages .)

@rasp_renegade said in Scraper crashes ES:

. I had swapped gamelists and forgot, so disregard the part about old files. Anything else useful in that log?

I don't see any issues in the log.

Do you have an input override for this game ? If you open the RetroArch menu and go to Controls/Port 1, what kind of device type does it say it is ?

Please add some more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@Dandelion I agree with Folly. If you're sticking with Old Skool games, go with the Pi3b+. It's plenty to run those.

For any other lights, lighted buttons, or other stuff that might pull power from a USB on the Pi. Check if you can source power from something else. The Pi performance will degrade the more power you pull from it...even CPU fans.

Take your time designing and researching. It'll pay off

@bbvbandit2 You just download the install 'image' and write it to the sdcard - it's explained in the docs.

@Sisyphus Same problem here. Using a generic SNES controller that works on every single other game except for VVVVVV.

@mitu i will try that and update. Thanks!

@Darksavior Thanks Darksavior. Going to overclock it and try it out for a bit. I appreciate the insight!

@mitu Cool, thanks! That puts my mind at ease.

@StoqnS14 We don't support this configuration and OS. Use either RaspiOS or the RetroPie image from https://retropie.org.uk/download and you'll not have issues.

Just to close the loop on this. I was unable to try the above solution as the controller had paired, but no security settings or configuration was allowed. When I tried to unpair the controller I couldn't. I assume I had messed up the settings trying fixes for this. I uninstalled retropie and reinstalled and it worked fine. Thanks for the help.

Although strange, I have only declared one controller in ES.
By this way, I have no more strange behaviour on some buttons. So it's better now.
Still have the controller 1 or 2 swapping in some emulators...
Try to manage with joystick-selection, but not sure it could handle this 100%, as name and reference are always the same.

@sleve_mcdichael

Hey. Figured it out. The answer was more or less staring me in the face.
In the "es_temporaryinput.cfg" there was a line for the hotkey, which I more or less copied.

<input name="hotkeyenable" type="button" id="8" value="1" /> <input name="x" type="button" id="0" value="1"/>

This is my solution. From what I've tested this hasn't messed up anything else even though it does share the
id="0" with one of the axis entries.

Thanks for the input. You can consider this topic "solved".

Yes, it has the wrong title, thank you for reporting. We'll fix this.
