@mitu Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry ended up with some custom BS image, but at least I'll learn more by starting from scratch.

@buzz Thanks, I'll try this, then.

Cheers!

@jayjayuk said in Emulation Station Gamepad Enumeration:

They are all using generic USB encoders which detect as Dragon Rise
Is this the expected behaviour? or a bug?

This is expected - the input configuration is tied to the name of the controller, so configuring one of the controllers will generate a configuration for all of them. When you configure one of the 6 buttons controllers, the same configuration is applied to the rest of the controllers with the same name (including the ones with the 4 buttons layout).

I would add that in the /boot/cmdline.txt parameters, I changed the resolution to 768x768 and everything is now centered and looks correct....except, the top few lines of the [TAB] menu in Mame are cut off....

This is so strange.....

I figured it out.

It was under "Experimental" modules.

So, in other words, the card doesn't have a software volume control and you had to add a fake one to keep ES (or other ALSA based mixers) happy. That doesn't seem too practical if your Pi is not easily accessible.

Glad you got this sorted out, it's a good use case to have in mind.

@ilchymis
I would just like to add that the BIOS file for lr-genesis-plus-gx is different from the one for lr-picodrive.

It sounds like your lr-picodrive BIOS file is correct, while the one for lr-genesis-plus-gx is not (as mitu has suggested).

I'm pretty sure your issue is not the same as mine, since my BIOS files were correct. It simply couldn't find them due to mis-configuration.

Thank you for your post. Having two SF30 pro and got the same issue.
After configuring as per you post above, the mapping is strange. For example, the hotkey is used to jump under tomb raider.
In other words, the controller map is not as per lib-retro "standard" for psx. Any idea how to be back on standard lib retro mapping ?
My config : retropie 4.7.3 / pi 4

Bonjour, j'utilise retropie sur ubuntu 18.04 et installé dolphin.
tout fonctionne a part que si je met la langue de la wii en francais , a chaque démarrage du jeu avec emulationstation le jeu change de langue automatiquement et repasse en anglais.
sur la gamecube je n'est pas ce probleme
quand je lance dolphin sans passé par émulationstation la langue que j'ai choisi se met bien et reste tel que je l'ai mise, des que je lance les jeux avec emulationstation la langue se modifie et ce n'est plus celle que j'ai mise
Es-ce que quelq'un a déja eu le cas et a une solution
merci

I found another option for getting performance information logged - RetroArch performance counters: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/generating-retroarch-logs/

I haven't seen anything useful logged yet though :/

Ok, so having spent quite a bit of time on this, I would have to downgrade my assessment to semi-successful - ha! I ended up having to install alot of emulators that I thought would still be on there as they were on my old build, and nearly all the other emulators had binary updates for me to run.

My RetroPie build is very basic really, with the only tweaks being those detailed in the official docs, so looking back I think if I was to do this process again, I would just start completely clean and go through each system one by one to check all is working correctly and updating/tweaking as appropriate. At least then I would know what needed to be done, rather than finding some things had copied over and other bits hadn't. This is most definitely due to errors on my part I'm sure.

On the plus side, on my 4.4 build my Sega CD and ZX Spectrum games wouldn't work (Sega CD would jump back to ES, and ZX Spectrum would crash the Pi) but now they do, so not sure what happened there but it's all good now - ha!

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

You shouldn't have removed rfkill, I suggest you reinstall it. What's the output of the following commands:

rfkill list all iwconfig

Another method to configure the Wi-Fi is to create a complete wpa_supplicant.conf cofiguration file, including the country, as explained here.

@grand_national to exit Atari 800 standalone emulator you have to use the keyboard (F9). F1 enters the configuration. Only retroarch emulators and a couple of standalone emulators like amiberry and mupen64 support exiting with the select+start combination. But the standalone Atari 800 emulator is a lot more functional than the libretro core.

@mitu. Hi, at first the omxplayer was on, as the tutorial suggested and then after reading a long winded forum about this issue, one of the things was to turn it off. So I did but still had stay issue.
I thought it could have been a bad skyscraper install, so I also uninstalled that but same issue.
So I left it a while to register on here and it wrack my brain around it.
Then, even though I did a script update and I knew I had the latest retropie installed cos I'd only just done it from the site a couple of days ago. I decided to do it again, the script took no time at all, the main update this time took 2 hours. I rebooted and for some reason it all works fine now, no freezing. So I put the omxplayer back on and it's still fine. Haven't yet re installed skyscraper but I don't know if it now works because of that or a second update after the preview videos where on.
Either way it works now.
Thanks for commenting anyway.

@buzz I've tried this before, but I've tried again just now, to make sure.

overscan_top=40 overscan_bottom=40 overscan_left=40 overscan_right=40 overscan_scale=0

While this does add the overscan on the console, it also adds it to EmulationStation and RetroArch while emulating.

Using Retropie on a Raspberry Pi

PSP games in .pbp format will work fine in ppsspp and lr-ppsspp

PSX games in .pbp format will work fine using lr-pcsx_rearmed

@lochnagar I know the music on Tomba II is glitchy and plays the wrong track on the default (and only emulator if on a pi) psx emulator. It’s old and buggy and hasn’t really been updated with any significance in a long time. But it runs very smoothly on low end hardware and runs most games just fine. There is no fix unless someone updates the emulator to fix said bugs.
