@mitu I don't want to screw anything up that's why i ask really dumb questions man. Yeah that worked, appreciate the lesson Mitu. Thanks again for your time have a great day / weekend.

@mitu Thanks for the addition, I forgot to mention that.

@Addison As mitu said, my tip doesn't apply to HDMI, sorry.

I tried the hotkey + x and got it to work once, im starting to think the problem is my controller. im using a wired xbox 360 controller, wich in my pi i had no problems with. In the new pi when i configure it, it skips the left trigger.

Source install is not working ? I remember the same problem a few weeks back and it was an upstream problem due to their recent changes to the code. Use the binary install if you're on a Raspberry Pi.

@axrst ARCADE is not an emulator, its a folder where you place roms and then choose an emulator to run them using the run command. If you are electing to choose a non-libretro emulator such as mame4all or pifba, they will not be configured on startup.

@c0tt0ntail are you sure its not a lightning bolt or thermometer? What color is it?

With advmame on a PC (and I assume you are on a PC..the rasp pi is NOT going to run area51 no matter how hard you try.) The chds have to be placed in it's own directory..at least by default.

/home/user/.advance/image/kinst/kinst.chd for example

place the chd in /home/user/.advance/image/area51/ so it's full path is
/home/user/.advance/image/area51/area51.chd to the chd

make folders if needed...

So what i mean is

Open your advance folder Make a folder named image if one is not there Make sure your folder is name the SAME name as your chd file (without the .chd extension of course.) Place your chd file into the folder area51
(as mediamogul has said) Now place that folder into the media folder

so now your chd is at /.advance/image/area51/area51.chd

Now try to load the game

@suatdon retropie does not work on android - I think you're in the wrong forum :) you could try here: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues

@mitu i can't

@bytethis said in Issues using RetroPie forums with Mozilla Firefox:

@madmodder123 Better ad block software is ublock origin than Adblock Plus. Adblock got bought out and compromised. Conversation here : https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/7s7r4s/unable_to_get_playstation_bios_working/

ublock origin : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin

Ublock blocks more unwanted ads..popups..etc and 100% effective.

Apologize for going off topic in your thread.

Ah that seems to have been it, ublock origin is working fine for me now. Thanks for letting me know about adblock plus, I remember when they were on top, but I guess times change :/
Interesting though that it seems even though adblock plus was disabled for this website, it seemed to be causing the issue.

@mitu I did it, but then suddenly my wi-fi dongle stopped working. Then I tried some more troubleshooting attempts for that and messed stuff up even more.

Much as it pains me, I'm just reinstalling RetroPie and doing it all from scratch. I made backups of everything, so hopefully I'll be able to salvage some of my customizations.

@mitu Scraper source was my issue. Vids are downloading now. Thanks for helping me resolve.

@jmhogan0 The file is actually hosted on Amazon's servers, but it's of little comfort. We had spurious reports over time of users not being able to download the image, but it's not always clear why the download stalls.
You could try to download the torrent (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4400/torrent-download-retropie), but make sure you verify the hash of the file or just install Raspbian and install manually (see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/).

@mitu you told them to pacth it?

Thanks that's all I needed to hear.

@tackskull

Move out to the root menu, then to 'Input'. From there, you should see the player one input map menu selection.
