The RetroPie image is based on Raspbian Lite (Stretch or Jessie, depending on which image you choose), so you would be better to install the Stretch beta image provided and then update the binaries.

Oh... one thing that could go wrong with the symbolic link method.
If you insert two USB devices at the same time then the naming could get wrong. Means that /mount/usb0 is not always Device 1
and /mount/usb1 is not always Device 2. They can change, so working with fstab and giving the devices their unique numbering is better. But the symlink is imho the fastest way ...
need to say: it is not supported by official intructions!!

The bash myscript.sh is working for ES because it is setted in es_systems.cfg since RetroPie 4.0

@barbudreadmon said in lr-fbalpha DAT Rampage World Tour conflicting ROM files:

@riverstorm That's definitely an issue in the fba code, i'll report it upstream.

Thanks, missing one ROM from the whole set...aaargh! ;)

@shakz said in Dreamcast Reicast, gamepad direction right doesn´t work under some conditions:

Have you tried setting up the controller in the RetroPie menu?
Retropie setup > Configuration / Tools > reicast

or if you can log into your retropie....

cd RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_packages.sh reicastinput

No, only in standard retropie Setup.
Is there a special Reicast controller setup!?!?

This was unrelated to Stretch and has today been fixed in RetroPie-Setup.

@mitu Alright, thank you for your help!

Got the catver.ini but still romlister shows no roms when I go through the process of creating the xml.
Seems it's not as straight forward as I first thought.

Thanks a lot. I have also tried a lot of configs without any luck, all on 4.3.
I will test with a 4.2 installation.

@robotechvfx I'm sorry, deleting the srm file solved the problem for me. I suggest you to double check that you deleted the actual srm file that your Mario Adventure rom is using, that is, the one with the exact same name.

@mitu pi 3 b

controllers:wired

powersupply:phone charger

retropie:4.3.11

made from: sdcard image

as you can see the 2 controllers are wired are these enough to know my problem
thanks

@xnilesx Please follow the instructions in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and describe your setup.

Looks like the locations where the Selph scraper gets data is incompatible with Emulation Station. In particular progettoemma has video snaps recorded with a codec that almost no device supports. They won't display video in OMX or a PC running windows 10 unless you search around and add a codec pack that happens to have predictive 4:4:4 (I used the free K-Lite 1400 Full). And the text descriptions input in to the gameslist.xml file has tab characters or something embedded in then. I used Notepad++ and made all special characters visible and didn't see anything other than the offending lines indented and showed tab lines. I had to delete them all. Also, the descriptions are rife with escape codes for carriage returns and line feeds ( &#xA) . I just got rid of all special characters and other than the ones for quotes or apostrophes and then manually adjusted each paragraph by hitting enter twice to add my own line feeds where I wanted a new paragraph and cleaned it all up. I then used Handbrake to batch re-encode all of the scraped snaps to the "normal" or "High Profile" preset and turning down quality to 25 to make the files a little smaller (on par with the original sizes).

@mouth79 said in Help Please (Launching Amiga Games):

I have just received my retropie

If you paid, you have been scammed. Download the image from here. Follow the Amiga guide and try again.

There is no fps slider or setting, like in every system. You could control the fps with syncing to monitors refresh rate, that would be the way. If 60 Hz is not possible, it jumps down to 30 Hz, which leads to (hopefully stable) 30 fps. There should be a V-Sync option, which does exactly that, but I don't know more about it. And jumping from 60 Hz to 30 Hz and back is never smooth, so its should stay at 30 Hz / Fps. Maybe there is somewhere a setting for it.

Besides this, if you have some speed and sound issues, look here:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Speed-Issues/
and
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Sound-Issues/

So, basically reduce resolution and some other settings. Maybe your pi is over heating and slowing down. And maybe you want overclocking, but only if you have a cooler. For audio, maybe change audio_driver=sdl (default is alsa). I had this issue too and I think this is what I did too to solve this.
