@lolonois I have a rpi3b+ which runs 24/7 in a arcade cabinet. This issue is found when I return to the cabinet after a few days of it running and go to launch a game. The error shows right before the game launches. Carbon theme using a slideshow screensaver. No audio in use while it's idling between uses

@partofthething I installed the official bullseye release today, and I'm getting the same problem. I've also tried sdl 2.0.16 from https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3390

@mitu
Actually I just learned there was a port of Raspberry Pi OS for laptops. I'll get around to trying to Retropie on it.

@mitu I spent the last few days searching how to do that and couldn't find it. After using the key words Buzz posted I found the following site on the forum https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8134/retropie-menu-missing-from-emulationstation/3
I think this will work now.

@sirhenrythe5th I wouldn't be in such a hurry.

@gunnarkarlsson
Welcome, i'am happy to help :-)

Slide over to the thread titled :

Folly has been working the hell out of the Libretro MESS/MAME core addition to Retropie and just recently dteam and I have been helping him test and tweak the Tandy Coco 1/2/3 setup to be a one-click game play. Setting up the controls hasn't been covered just yet, but we're getting there.

Read the last few posts and see if it interests you. Our goal has been to get MESS involved more as a goto for all the other computer and hand-held games. So they can be used in Retropie...again... one click to it goes right to the program and auto-loads without any user input (or as little as possible)

This is the Tandy Coco3 running in lr-mess with a backgorund I reworked from another artist adding in the proper Tandy screen and other stuff. You can see it's working good. Just haven't gotten the retropad control to work just yet as I haven't been focused on that aspect.

@addison
Some arcade-style controllers allow you to use a turbo to make make it seem like you are rapidly spamming a button. Ex: In Street Fighter, certain moves like Chun-Li's Lightning Kick would be executed almost immediately without you spamming buttons.

@mitu that was crazy fast, thank you! Just uncommented it and it actually worked. I thought it was being overriden by the one in [all] but I'm happy to be wrong.
Again, thank you!

@sleve_mcdichael said in Using a Pedal with Retropie (Hori Apex Racing Wheel):

/etc/modprobe.d/xpad.conf

God, you fixed it! This has been driving me mad all day, thank you so much!

@sleve_mcdichael said in HELP: lr-gambatte > no green color anymore with "custom" GB-colorization:

Once the menu is accessed, you can select "Launch with verbose logging."

After you quit the game, the log will be saved to /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

This location is a temp filesystem that only exists in memory. You must access the file while the Pi is running, without shutting down or rebooting. (Specifically, you cannot pull the SD card and read the file off it from another computer.)

Unfortunately, this location is also not accessible via the network share. You should copy it to one that is.

Many thanks for the hint. I did know about that feature, but I couldn't find the exact path of the log-file! Your info will help me alot in the future. Thanks!!

@mitu said in HELP: lr-gambatte > no green color anymore with "custom" GB-colorization:

You may have stumbled upon this bug. Can you try updating from source again and try loading a game to see if the palette works ?

That's it. FIXED. Many thanks!!!

@jimmyfromthebay The MAME libretro core has a subpar libretro implementation and a lot of bugs because of it. It should be avoided whenever a game is supported by one of the recommended arcade libretro cores (FBNeo, MAME2003+). FWIW, FBNeo supports those 2 games and has a working dipswitch to toggle between single and dual screen.

@mitu thanks,it looks like xinit wasn't launching but in any case changing to SDL2 has made it much better! Much appreciated.

@mitu you had helped me before and it was useful to me! in this case, what exactly must be modified to install glide64mk2 on rpi 3? I tested it in a batocera installation and it works very well, I would like to have it in Retropie.

@bootmonster said in I have a question for anyone who has purchased a NINTENDO 64 controller.:

Not sure where the mixed messages have come from on that but can confirm it works perfectly.

The -dev version has been recently promoted to stable, so both versions of the EmulationStation package are now identical (for the time being, until more things are added to the new dev).

If ES crashes, the log will not be of much help, but a gdb trace (backtrace) might be helpful to see where exactly (in the code) the crash occurs. If you can reliably reproduce the crash, then it might be worth using gdb and capture the trace:

gdb -q /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation-dev/emulationstation - ex run # if there's any crash, gdb will report it and show a prompt thread apply all bt
