Adding to what @MagiusRetro said, you could also have the settings he mentioned applied on a per-game basis to avoid having to deal with the drawbacks in all your other games. More information can be found at the link below.

Hi Crazyazz,

There is a tutorial which seems to work: https://raspberryblog.de/?p=1870#more-1870

Sadly, it's been impossible for me to follow all the steps. I hope you are luckier than me.

Best

I'd wipe it, for good measure.

nevermind, seemed to fix this by hitting fn f4 and then logging in with "pi" and "raspberry".

@jordin986 said in Save states not working on NES -SOLVED:

Its nice for variety and get around censorship in some situations.

I've been playing the uncensored version of 'Super Castlevania IV' and it's a trip to see all the blood and religious iconography restored.

Another option instead of removing it would be to have a Runcommand System Splashscreens instead:

This looks really cool if you use it in conjunction with the Pixel Theme for EmulationStation:

I have some questions:

Is this your adapter?: http://www.mayflash.com/Products/UNIVERSAL/PC035.html Can you plug the three controllers and use them simutaneously? What are the names RetroArch show when you start it (those yellow letters at bottom-left)?

@herb_fargus Thanks, never tried it that way. I always format to ensure that the full size of the card is made available. Does Win32DiskImager know if you have a 32 GB card with a previous Retropie Install on? If so, I shall no longer format first.

Got it working, by unplugging the Raspberry and plugging back in to power.

I'm from the UK. And It's cost me somewhere in the region of about £40-£50 due to the scarcisty of Powerboost 1000 over here.

My soldering Iron was temp regulated. It served me well.

Went out and got a new soldering iron and ordered a new powerboost and Pi Zero.

I'm still confident I can break them out.

Found a nice little walkthrough

end a piece of #20 to #24 copper wire so it just fits around the LED or resistor, then heat that with the tip of your soldering iron.

The wire will carry heat to the pads on both ends of the component, melting both at the same time. Then you can slide the component off the pads. It's a lot faster and easier than trying to lever a component off with only one side free.

Clean any excess solder off the pads with solder wick, then re-tin before adding the jumper.

30 gauge wire works well for the jumpers. It can carry more than enough current for an LED, and is flexible enough that you won't risk pulling the pad off the PCB.

Bend about 1mm of the wire back on itself and press the wires together with pliers/tweezers to make a tight U, dip it in flux, then melt a bead of solder into the U. The capillary action between the wires will hold more solder than a straight run of wire, and the paired wires will act like a small pad. Place the tinned U on the pad, heat it with your iron, and you should get a good joint.

I've got the broken powerboost I'm gonna practice on.

Let's hope

Thanks alot for the reply!

However, that line already a hashtag before it. Listed as :

Forces cropping of overscanned frames. Exact behavior of this option is implementation specific. video_crop_overscan = true

in opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg upon opening file.

Edit: Hashtags in my .cfg file are not listed when copy, pasted here. I will link my .cfg via pastebin.

Edit #2: I was able to disable overscan for Fceumm nes emulator via editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-video-modes.cfg and changing the command

"fceumm_overscan = enabled"
to
"fceumm_overscan = disabled"

I am not sure if this is a detrimental option, but it has solved my problem thus far.

Yes it works good now.
Thanks.

@spannernick1 not sure when it came out but i updated vice yesterday and it made a mess of everything config wise so i reverted back to my old version.

I prefer the Steven Selph scraper too. The built in scraper pretty much sucks (not RetroPie's fault, it's built into EmulationStation). The built in is too slow, and it's fuzzy logic is terrible. Whenever it doesn't have an EXACT 100% match, it prompts you for the game, even when there is only 1 game on the list. Steven's is much faster, requiring no user input. The fuzzy logic built into that one is like 99% accurate. I've not come across any mismatched games, but the scraper doesn't find them all. A lot of Japanese games just fail "hash checks". I haven't figured out a way around that, other than scrape with Selph's first, then go back in and use the built-in one.

But the other replies are correct. Before I started building my setup, I went through the WIKI and DOCUMENTATION. In fact, just about everything is already covered in the video on the homepage's link to Installation:

https://retropie.org.uk/documentation/installing-retropie/

@mahcneto you should put configs in code blocks or else the forum will think it's styling. See the link in my signature or the compose? link when making a reply

@Pyjamarama
Sadly the scraper currently does not support Amiga:

An auto-scraper for EmulationStation written in Go using hashes. This currently works with NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBC, GBA, MD, SMS, 32X, GG, PCE, A2600, LNX, MAME/FBA(see below), Dreamcast(bin/gdi), PSX(bin/cue), ScummVM, SegaCD ROMs.

I would love to use it for Amiga games also :(
