    @mitu I was able to set a system variable OS_NAME=RetroPie and re-ran the script from GIT and the install works now. Not 100% fully tested at this point but at least RetroPie sees the “New” controller

    Here is the updated config.txt file

    pi@retropie:~ $ cat /boot/config.txt # For more options and information see # http://rpf.io/configtxt # Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details # uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode #hdmi_safe=1 # uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible # and your display can output without overscan #disable_overscan=1 # uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border #overscan_left=16 #overscan_right=16 #overscan_top=16 #overscan_bottom=16 # uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus # overscan. #framebuffer_width=1280 #framebuffer_height=720 # uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output hdmi_force_hotplug=1 # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA) #hdmi_group=1 #hdmi_mode=1 # uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI.

    @DanTarl

    Hi DanTarl - I created a forum account just to thank you for this tip.

    I was frustrated by my zero delay encoder going in to disconnect/reconnect loop (led flashing) while using MAME on Ubuntu v22. Adding this to the Grub Linux boot parameters fixed the problem immediately.

    The line now looks like this:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x00000400"

    Detailed instructions for editing Ubuntu boot parameters here.

    Thanks again - solving this seemed like such a longshot!

  • N64DD games end Naomi 2 games works on Retropie?

    @saku00 so I tried some Naomi 2 games on the standalone flycast on a pi4 2gb. Good news and bad.

    They boot. But they're absolute slide shows. 4-7 FPS at best.

    https://ibb.co/fvXsjwn - you can see the FPS counter in the corner. So I would say Naomi2 is a no for a pi4. Not surprising given they're basically PS2/GameCube/Xbox graphic games. Maybe a pi5 or 6 in a few years will be able to handle that.

    @lostless Thanks. I actually figured it out. There's a custom config setting on the bottom left. If you select it for every game, it won't affect others. Just never noticed it before!

    @windg well, the ScummVM RP documentation is not aligned with the implementation. And it will create a clutter in the scummvm/ folder, plus will rewrite the *.svm files everytime after exiting ScummVM, which is surplus.

    This and the missing interop with the LR variant made me to have a design which creates a more "it just works" experience for the user.

    @jameelperkins31 Then please open a separate topic and describe your issue, adding the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, instead of replying to random topics in the forum.

    If this is a bug, maybe the new version of RetroPie will not have this. You can try and to rename the save file (back-up first) with the name of disk2 and boot the game directly from there

    The most multi disk games that i have try they don't have issue, only in few games disk swap is tricky.

    If the issue continue you can report it directly to the developer of emulator here: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues

    You can try also the alternative psx emulator, from RetroPie- Extra repo, lr-duckstation or lr-swanstation from here : https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

    @Crush That is also an option, but sometimes I'd rather get everything scraped on a separate hard drive. Just makes me feel more secure in various ways. I'm probably just silly.

    @kiro i guess he is talking about the "midnight commander", which is included in the retropie-image.

    You can rename files there by marking a file and hitting "F6" for "move file / rename file".
    If you want to rename the file you have to enter the whole path+new filename (which doesnt speed up the renaming very well ;) )

    @mitu Yes and I know what I did wrong. The Game itself was really a folder, with the file that launched it needing to be favorited and renamed the name of the game. For example My Kingmaker folder had a file called LaunchHere.bat to run and that is what had to be clicked to run. However, that was the file that needed to be favorited, not the Kingmaker folder game itself. My bad. :D Thank you all anyway!! SOLVED

    @windg I did some more testing, and find out that most of the chds still work (Tekken, Wipeout, Tomb Raider, both with lr-pcsx-rearmed and with lr-duckstation), but Jumping Flash! does not work nor with lr-pcsx-rearmed neither with lr-duckstation. I guess there is something specific with this game, but that still puzzles me because it was working before...
