Here are some tips for reducing input lag. You'll never get an emulation setup to completely match actual hardware, but you can improve things greatly. I just beat 'Super Mario Brothers 3' a few weeks ago and almost got a TKO on Tyson earlier today.

I knew I was doing something obviously wrong, I just didn't know what. Upon going to go copy down the names of the files, found out it was a divided archive inside the original zip, so while I unzipped the files, I did not compile them from the archive. I feel really dumb, and apologize for wasting your time. Thank you for trying to help a sad nub.

mhh now i have version 2.0.1pre an Gabriel Knights 2 will not work :(
anyone an idea.. ? debug or something

@swampy I will try this out. Thanks for the reply!

@rascas
Yaa even i have got some other also https://www.fixguruji.com/amazon-fire-stick-remote-not-working/ you can check it i solve my firestick not working issue.

Thanks Buzz, that worked perfect. Playing PoP on the keyboard works great but not so well with a controller. They have a fully working menu to save, load, settings, exit, etc. now. You can jump, duck, etc. no problem but for some reason the analog and d-pad does some weird things when trying to move. I'll post over there and see if they can address it.

On a side note I was looking at the Dreamcade that is taking pre-orders now. I am on the fence because really if they sold their interface you could install it on an Intel NUC (looks almost exactly the same) and have the same product. They do have about 16 years building full arcade cabs so their interface is streamlined and polished. They originally were going to make it look like a retro style Atari-ish case but the final product is just a micro PC. Anyway I was just trying to view some video of the actual interface and product working and it's crazy the number of videos talking of being "RetroPie killer?" "Better than a RetroPie?", "The next RetroPie?", on and on. All I can think is they [RetroPie] is doing it right! :)

@cajacks1 Are you sure you configured the Select key as a Hotkey and you didn't choose something else during the input configuration setup ? The exit shortcut is Hotkey + Start, so if you chose a different key as Hotkey, Select + Start might not work.

@jakrchris said in Music Visualization for Kodi:

I apologize of course, but please note that I only used it for the Installation tools, not pirated content.

It read that way. Plus, it can be difficult to keep up with all the various copyright violators out there. Glad to hear the visuals are working for you.

so guys i had problems with the GPIOnext and the waveshare driver that i had. They both used pins at the same time.
Thanks mholgatem the programmer of the program he gave me some commands to type in,to configure the buttons with the right pins that are usable. So guys i wired this thing just with the single purpose of using pins who are not used and dont damage the raspberry or the display . So the commands are with my ports .

MY SETTINGS
[
sudo python3 /home/pi/GPIOnext/config_manager.py --pins 3,5,22,10,7,29,31,32,33,35,36,37,38,40

gpionext set pins 3,5,22,10,7,29,31,32,33,35,36,37,38,40

gpionext reload

sudo reboot
//if you soldered your wires to different ports you can add them in the line down below !
[
sudo python3 /home/pi/GPIOnext/config_manager.py --pins 29,31,32,33,35,36,37,38,40

gpionext set pins 29,31,32,33,35,36,37,38,40

gpionext reload

sudo reboot
]

@thatisandwas it's actually a really cool idea. My car has a composite input for the screen in the center of the dash. Might have to borrow your idea :)

I switched to CrunchBang... works fine now.

@dankcushions said in Advice on neogeo games in Arcade folder:

or... even better, just use a core override. for example - in fbalpha, set the controls via the RGUI to the way you want, and then save it via quick menu as a 'core override'. that will mean that fbalpha will load that override no matter what folder you launch from, and mame2003 could have its own, independent core override (or having nothing and fall back to the /arcade/retroarch.cfg settings)

@dankcushions - Thank you I figured out how to do core override with the controller and saving it out but doing the same thing for the keyboard/IPAC doesn't seem to work that way. Unless I overwrote the arcade/retroarch.cfg. Which the main goal was to modify FBA IPAC/keyboard settings without affecting the default arcade/retroarch.cfg settings.

I found 2 workarounds that seems to work but was looking to get your feedback. In emulators.cfg I changed the config portion of the launch command to point to the fba/retroarch.cfg and that seemed to allow me to remap fba in another file fully without interfering with the MAME default settings in arcade/retroarch.cfg.

The other method is adding them to the FBA config (different from FB Alpha.rmp) which I had to manually modify as I don't see a save option for that file in RGUI. It seems to work like the core override (for controllers) but you can add keyboard settings/values like changing input_player1_x = "shift", etc.

With the FB Alpaha.rmp (core override remap) it seems to ignore keyboard commands added to it.

But it does seem to allow you flexibility with the Arcade folder to map each emulator the way you want using unique/different keys for each emulator

@mitu No, I did it but the behaviour is still the same, as the 8bitdo N30 pro (with the difference that it doesn’t have the TURBO button).

USB >> 8Bitdo NES30 Arcade
Bluetooth >> szmy-power Ltd.Joypad

Finally i Won !!!!!!

Ty This command can help someone !

@caver01 Again, great notes. Really appreciate the quick feedback! I'll get back to you on how this thing turns out!

@shirion have you tested multiple games? Are they all having this issue? Which region ROMs are you using?

@topsys https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16307/retropie-4-3-15-stretch-images-for-testing

@lostless Right!
The chance of a broken .state## file is high if the emulator gots some bug fixes. It's even nearly impossible to port savestates from RPi0/1 versions to RPi2/3/3+

A savestate feature you can always rely is the SRM state. As it's just a part of the ROM itself and is treated as memory dump. But not every game provides this and afaik only home consoles.
