I can't edit my post (understandable, im a newbie). But if I could, it would say

Edit: I figured it out- I had become error. I was trying to be fancy with my file pathing, and I forgot the adage- keep it simple

Hi! I just ran into this myself, and thought I'd post this for anyone else who had this issue to give an alt method, If you want to configure it with the GUI (which may be easier). It takes a few steps, and you will need a mouse.

install Desktop in Raspconfig
2 use the dekstop terminal to run QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu
3 configure your controller
4 important- while you are here, configure your hotkeys as well. Dolphin does not recognize the normal hotkey /exit button, it uses its own.

You can edit both GC and Wii controls this way

@Arrafart Those are great controllers by the way. I have the old set (US and Japanese) with the corresponding color patterns on the buttons, before Nintendo forced 8-bitdo to change them :-(. I actually set RetroPie up with them easily. I wanted to try the Xbox 360 controller out. I also use the WiiU Pro Controllers as well.

Isn't it that you can enter the retroarch menu from within a game and set input to mirror analog stick from dpad?

Hotkey + North (in game)

Settings | gamepad | analog

Please correct the path, it's something like that

Welcome to the forum :)

Wow, this hardware is also already retro. However, it can be refurbished for the 2020s.

For the Pi 4 or 5 there has been recently a thread https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/36439

If smooth N64 emulation is a must then it is a Pi5.

The current IPAC won't work. But if you are satisfied (also in terms of inputlag) you can use a IPAC for USB. You can also wire the GPIO directly as you have 12 buttons per player. I recently released a project which is compatible with the Pi5 (and earlier).

You will also need some adapters between the Pi's micro HDMI and the monitor connection (VGA, DVI, regular HDMI). Driving a CRT is a different story.
For the Pi 5 you will also need an USB audio device (any C-Media compliant stick will do).

Have fun!

@Protocultor Ok thank you

@mitu said in Replacing Emulationstation splash screen:

You have to replace the splash.svg file in the resources sub-folder - so in /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/resources - with your own .svg file. Does that make it easier ? Note that the regular pi user cannot write to that folder, so you'd have to use sudo to copy the file in that location.

Yes, this worked for me, thanks @mitu .

I made sure my saved .svg was version 1.1 and all elements used the same SVG namespace. Occasionally editors add namespaces inconsistently. I copied the namespace from the original.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="1280px" height="720px" viewBox="0 0 1280 720" enable-background="new 0 0 1280 720" xml:space="preserve">

And also i made sure the svg had the exact width and height as the original (not responsive).
Keep in mind that the background is black so contrast your colours accordingly.

@sleve_mcdichael said in avoid or get rid of messages after scripts were executed:

/dev/null

the first one did the trick :)
thank you!!!
i ve been looking for a solution for a long time
and now this made my day

@parabolic said in Pi Zero dedicated 1 game mame. Is there a optimized build for this?:

but its well emulated in MAME

That'll entirely depend on what you mean by "well" and the MAME version you are using. Using a pi zero might impede your choice about that. For the reminder, older MAME versions will be less likely to be accurate (i.e. faithful to the original game), and the newer versions usually require better machines.

@fredthelifeguard said in Audio Issues HDMI:

Built From: Image found on Raspberry Pi SD Card Imager

Which image are we talking about - RetroPie or RaspiOS Did you install any additional drivers or run additional scripts for the PiCade hat to work ?
Please post your /boot/config.txt file.

@mitu I don't think he is still active unfortunately.
While I appreciate that you don't support third party images, would you share a "guess" where the information pontentially could be found ?

@mitu said in RetroPie version check:

executed from RetroPie-Setup

unfortunately its not. you have to run it from command line and pick the scripts that are then installed to the ext folder

i would like for a way to run the installer from the Retropie-setup. i just have not messed with it yet
but good to know once i do figure that out.

for now i think looking at the version file might be the way to go.

I found it!!!

The file ~/configs/all/videomodes.cfg contained

Lr-psx-rearmed = "HDMI-1:0x41"

I removed it and the warning was gone.

Not sure how it got there or if it is crucial for some PSX games, but I'm happy today! 😁

🥂

Glad you got it working.
For Sigil2, make sure you're using the SIGIL_COMPAT_v1_21.wad file, due to a bug in the wad's embedded UMAPINFO lump.

@mitu I ran an update last night and the issue of the in-game menu causing the controller to become unresponsive until the select button is pressed has been fixed. I can now pull up the menu, take screenshots, save states, and return to the game without any problems.

The issue with running the setup from within the RetroPie OS still remains. The workaround is to sudo ./retropie_setup.sh from the terminal.

Should work fine on an SSD. You just have to install manually or use an unofficial build without support. You'll probably gain faster OS boot times.
