@mitu Although I can at least live with it lol.

@busywait Thanks for that, I added "composite=1" to the "dtoverlay" line in config.txt, and it has had some change, but the screen is still blank.

Now when I run modetest, the connector "composite-1" shows up, but its status is "unknown", and it has no associated encoder id.

The list of encoders has also changed to include TVDAC, but it has a crtc of 0.

TBH I'm not sure how connector, encoder, and crtc interrelate, and/or whether it's possible to fix the relations (assuming that's all the problem is).

@yfzdude Just got it today, works like a charm! Thanks!

@duggeryskull this solution works for me although the Cdown remains unassigned. Do you leave RIGHT ANALOG DOWN (which is Cdown) -NOT DEFINED-? That's an issue I have not been able to find a solution for so far... Cheers

How did you solve this? I have the same problem with C down unassigned. Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you. :-)

@funzyx @lupsyn @spreety8

I just fixed this using the suggestion from @quicksilver and if anyone else finds this:

sudo nano /opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh

Then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the file:

WINDOW_MODE="--windowed $RES" put a # in front of it to comment it out and if you set Fullscreen = true in mupen64plus.cfg then wave bye bye to permanent windowed mode

@polygaryd Thanks for the info! You might also want to add that demos go into "/opt/retropie/configs/ports/descent*/demos". So if you want the original prerecorded demo(s) ported as well, you should copy them to this directory.

@mitu

Great thanks. It is ok. As I said forgot the '&' at the end. Still do not know why 'DMIX' option gives no sound and the 'Sysdefault' option does.

Took some time and feels that it was a lot easier in the end. That's always when you find out how it works properly.

Finally have some results...

@stuckinthe90s said in No boot/shutdown text on safe boot or shutdown:

One concerning new detail is that the boot/shutdown text no longer shows at boot up or shutdown. Even when I shutdown or reboot from the command line with

Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
What RetroPie version did you have before the upgrade ?

@mitu ok, it's a minor problem, if I click there and gets installed I just enter the menu again and hit remove samba components, you can close the topic if there's no easy fix :)

@dreamcastkid Thanks man

@daviddraper

I hope so to the new version is great, it is possible to get it updated to the latest on retropie but not via source or binary at the moment unless you change a file to allow it.

@libation Thanks for the tip! lr-snes9x2002 is working with the ROMs I tried so far. My ROMs are compressed but their in .sfc format uncompressed, which might make a difference. Although my gamepad is recognized upon load, the controls didn't work on a couple of the games I tried. I guess that'll just require some custom configuring for those ROMs. Cheers

@jamrom2 If you removed the brackets from the file names, then you have to remove the bracket from the script too. :

croppedfilename=${filename//Disk*.atr/}

You know, it's a quick and dirty script, written only to save time with the common format. If you change the format of your filenames, then you have to adapt the script to your format.
