@RapidEdwin08 Man, did that ever do the trick! Worked right out of the box! No typing out anything in DOS to start or anything! Thanks!

Now, I just have to read the manual and find what the controls are. I believe I flew back to England during my first mission. :)

@mitu Yes. I did both. The virtual Keyboard does not have the HELP button for some reason. and yes, i have tried so many things. lol.

If anyone would like to try it in their lr-Hatari or Hatari just to get to the control screen in game, please i would love to see if anyone can do it!

everyone be well.

@mitu said in Retroarch audio DSP:

Indeed, RetroPie's RetroArch installation doesn't include any filters, audio or video.

Is it possible to support Retroarch DSP audio plugins in Retropie? Or is there something I could do to manually add the required audio libraries?

We could add it in a new RetroArch version, they occupy little space.

That would be great! Thanks for considering it.

I've have followed your instructions for manual compilation and they worked great! Chiptune enhance and lowpass filter really enhance old games soundtracks!

No time to do all from scratch
anyway I found the solution Thanks

@mitu Yup, that did it! You guys rock at patching this. Thanks a ton!

Hello!

I used the mass add in lr-scummvm.
Before that i had made matching svm files , and they were updated by the mass add.
However loading games directly from emulationstation doesn't work, it just loads lr-scummvm and says game not found.
If I launch from within lr-scummvm it works fine.
I checked the content of the svm file for the game The 7th Guest, and it had the content 'The7thGuest' which does not match the game id listed here https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility which ought to be 't7g'.
I tried to change the content of the svm file to the id from the list above but same result..
Not really sure how to proceed from here, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated! :)

@sugarfree it changes line 950 below in runcommand.sh's matchbox parameters.

If it's XINIT-WMC the window opens with a cursor visible. XINIT-WM it hides the cursor

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh

Totally off topic, I'm debating experimenting and seeing if I can use Labwc as the window manager instead seeing as X11 isn't as efficient and outdated. You can even see it in things like the Ocarina or Majora's Mask PC Ports, using matchbox it's slower in the title menu than if I use a different window manager.

I doubt it'd affect dolphin much as most of the slowdowns it feels are caused by certain effects that the Vulkan or opengl drivers on raspberry pi don't have a handle on

@DeMoN3 You should have opened a separate topic. While your setup may be similar to the original poster's setup, it's not the same problem. To answer to your question - you need to increase the resolution to get a better picture, the 240p you have won't work very well with ES.

@sleve_mcdichael Ah, I uninstalled and re-installed from binary. That did the trick. I must have gummed something up while rebuilding this pi.

@mitu

Installing Stella was the trick.
Thank you for your help.
I know she's going to enjoy playing River Raid with the correct kind of controller.

Understand thanks for your time.....

@korn16ftl3 said in linux novice needing a bit of help:

my question is how or where do i make the changes in the config.txt to enable PWM on the required pins from the guide i am trying to follow?

Just add a line at the end of the existing config.txt with the required dtoverlay option. Lines beginning with # are just comments and will be ignored by the Pi bootloader.

@mbernier said in Problem with XPAD since latest update:

When the upstream repository will be fixed, is there anything we will need to do or it will be fully transparent ?

Just a regular update will be enough, but it's not going to be mandatory.

@mitu Just wanted to say thanks for the help on this, it really means a lot. After losing some heart, I took another look over Christmas and the reset you suggested solved my joystick problem as well, so I've had a blast over the break playing on it.
Next stage is to go back into the retroarch.cfg and configure the second joystick when friends are around, and then it'll be good to go.
Thanks so much! And apols for not getting back sooner for your help :)

Upstream will probably take some time to fix the build problem, but we should have a workaround in RetroPie-Setup for it. Just update RetroPie-Setup and the installation of the core should work.
