I solved my concern.

In fact it is necessary to modify in the file advmame-1.4.rc the following line:

input_map [p2_lightgunx] mouse [2, x]
input_map [p2_lightguny] mouse [2, y]

Thank you in any case, I could not double cursor on any game.

@mitu and there you have it solved in 10 minutes flat. It was indeed a cheap hdmi causing the issue. Many thanks

Just a last report. So, I have installed my new case and the temperature difference is like day and night, dropping around 30° Celcius (from 80° to 50°, but just a small test, it will heat up a little more, but you get the idea)! Its one huge heatsink (whole case is one big heatsink) and no extra boards installed. I am just happy, plus the right emulator and no over heating issues and no fan noise! Still not really well tested, but I can see clearly the benefit.

Just someone is interested in it too, its very inexpensive also. My new case is: BIQU Aluminium Raspberry Pi Modell B for 11 Euros in Germany.

@ruicunha
there's no need to rebuild anything. mame 0.78 set is trivial to obtain. what's more, it's a non-merged set so if you don't want all the clones, you can just delete them manually without breaking any of the ones you want to keep.

if it's only 400 roms you want it'll be quicker to just cut and paste those from the 0.78 set than to read our documentation ;)

@drakaen391 said in Net play with GBA:

Partly thinking Pokemon battle and trades

I don't think that'll work in the way you're expecting it to. RetroArch's Netplay feature is really more like synchronized screen sharing. This works great for old console games where multiple players shared a TV screen and a couch back in the day. However, most GBA games required two units to be linked and Netplay doesn't support that. An exception would be the original GameBoy emulation core, lr-tgbdual, where two distinct units are emulated on the same screen in parallel. Another possible exception that applies directly to GBA games are the titles that allowed two players to pass a GBA back and forth, such as the 'Advance Wars' series. All in all, while it's entirely possible to Netplay GBA games in RetroArch, it's probably not all that practical.

@ward614

Not a problem. Glad to hear it's working.

On finding the right romset: The easiest way of doing this is to make sure that the one you download is labeled with which set it is from. This will make most games (60%-70%) work right out of the box if you select an emulator designed to work with that romset (see Here and Here). The remainder can usually be made to work by trying different emulators or seeking out another rom.

Basically, it is prohibitively difficult to find out which romset you have if it isn't labeled from the get go. Much easier to look for one that is marked.

If the screen goes black after a game is selected and then returns to the main menu, your emulator and rom are not compatible and you should change one of those two things.

@son_of_diablo It happens more than you realise, especially when you're starting to add ROMs and experimenting.

You (and everyone who experiences this) have updated every single package from source, while having too many things installed. It literally takes ages to compile everything. Just update via binaries next time :)

@johnny5126

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. If I were faced with only having one, I'd probably choose a USB HID-compliant controller interface, as it could still be key-mapped later if need be.

Tyvm. Downloading now.

@herb_fargus I already did install it, made the whole thread from my Raspberry. Also I don't know why but the custom install i did for MPV and its codecs only works on tops of full raspbian, not raspbian lite. At least thats what the guy from the thread said.

@sano This sounds very much like what I'm trying to accomplish! :)
is there a separate hid for sony clones? The controller is still being detected as "ShanWan PS3/PC Wired GamePad"

@dam034 please give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Check your ROM folder permissions, try to use the Reset Rom Folder permissions function from the RetroPie setup script (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#reset-ownershippermissions-of-homepiretropie-roms).

@mitu did a great script that exports your gamelists to Excel :

Myst 3 skips a great deal on the video when I try it in ResidualVM. Any way I could get smooth playback?

@mediamogul thanks for the reply.
