@koogelpotato Are the files listed when you ssh/SFTP to the snes rom directory on the pi? If so, check if they are all the accepted file extensions. If you've confirmed the files are indeed on the USB drive, you may want to check your freespace on the pi with df -h to see if you are out of space on the SD card.

@mitu

Awesome man!!! Thanks, was that suckin show metadata only.

Thanks a lot

The Pixel desktop is actually LXDE, it's probably the new version that's different a bit from the previous one. If you wish to install Chromium, then open a terminal/command line and install it by running

sudo apt-get -y install chromium-browser

The best you can hope for is to load the save state from the previous core version and work your way to an area that allows for a normal memory save. Afterwards, update the core load the save and make a new save state. I realize this wouldn't be possible for all games and it's a major hassle, but it's really the only option. It's best to only utilize save states for very casual use and at no time when it's crucial to keep them for long periods of time. Save state formats can change at any time depending on development. You might see an emulator/core keep its format throughout its lifespan, or you might see it change several times a year.

Ok, thank, too bad.

For what it’s worth...I ftped into my pi and downloaded the entire rom directory and Bios directory. Reflashed the card with 4.4 and uploaded the rom and bios directories. It took some time, it was easy and it worked.

Best bet, back up the entire card before you reflash so you have something to go back to.

As @TheDataCereal said, open the RA menu (Select + X) while in a game and change your Input settings, you probably want Player 1 to be the NES gamepad instead of the arcade Joystick. I don't think this is caused by the auto-save-on-exit settings.
As an alternative, use @meleu's joystick configuration and you can configure - per system - which controller is which player.

I go the other way. Connect my 8bitdo controller then install the ps3 drivers. The 8bitdo still works and my ps3 controllers connect fine and vibrate etc like they should

Never tried the other way.

thanks for the response and the info
I will have it.

thanks and regards.

Here you go.

@ss3000

Try setting the overscan in /boot/config.txt using:

overscan_left= overscan_right=

Edit: Of course if that works, you may have to reconfigure your RetroArch display settings to accomodate.

@epicrean said in Bezels and sizing basic question:

I went through Retroarch and changed the X and Y position

Every overlay is made for a specific screen resolution (not for specific TV); e.g. 1080p, if both TVs are set to 1080p the overlays must display correctly on both.
On top of that each overlay has a viewport (actual game area) that is sized for specific game area scale (e.g. integer scale, 3x, etc). If your retroarch settings for a specific core are different than the settings the overlay was intended for then it will not display correctly.

I've read about Wayland fixing things, and it seems like it fixed the issue in my case. Installed KDE, enabled Wayland and it seems to work great now :)

@koogelpotato Not without overwriting your existing OS. If you already have Raspbian installed, you don't need to flash the image, you can install RetroPie manually - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/.

@koogelpotato said in RetroPie low voltage and no usable temporary directory found:

power supply apples 5.2volts and 2.4 amps

By the look of the warning messages you get and the 2.4 amps, I'd say your power supply is not very good. If you have 3B+ and/or you power up the LCD screen from your PI, then you'll definitely need a better source.

Modify the atari800 package script and replace the URL to download with your own URL to the new version. Make sure that it's not a 'redirect' or 'wait x seconds to download` and it's a direct link. After you replace the URL, use RetroPie-Setup to install from source the emulator.

@porgrammer_ea Please use proper formating of textes... codeblocks and text passages. and check your es_systems.cfg ;)

I would LOVE to have a dynamic marquee that changes when cycling through games. I’ve seen some posts about it but to be frank I don’t quite understand if and how they have really made it work.

If you get this to work I would be eternally gratefull for details on how to do it. A little guide would be awesome. I would then do/buy/programme type exactly the same :-D

Thanks!

Thanks guys I'll install a psp emulator 😎

@epicrean It's not the scraper that shows the images, but Emulationstation. Try adding them in /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/<system>, with the name of the image having an -image suffix to the ROM name, i.e. for Ecco - The Tides Of Time in segacd, the image is in /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/segacd/Ecco - The Tides Of Time-image.jpg.
