Also a reminder that arcade games commonly shared a single set of controls, for example pacman. So player 2 actually uses player 1 inputs when it's their turn. There were also games that had distinct player controls such as tmnt or mortal kombat. It would help to specify the game your trying to play to determine if that plays any part in your issue.

@mitu Yep, been through all that already, I don't know what the deal is. I will take your advice and ask the author if he knows about it not working with 4.7.

@kenmetro said in Mame2010 or Mame2016 romset, which one should I keep?:

also have complete set of both Mame2010 and Mame2016. I don't want to keep both romset on my HDD and waste a lot of storage space for nothing. Could anyone suggest which romset should I keep for future use?

Keeping on-point, when possible, 2016 should trump 2010. For one thing, you could 7zip 2016 ROMsets and they'll work nicely. If you have any questions about compatibility, refer to my Arcade Recommendations List. You'll note that lr-fbneo is highly recommended, but you'll also note 2016 vs. 2010 compatibility for other ROMsets.

Hope this information is useful. It is also highly optimized, in case you just don't want multiple variations of some of your games. Or don't care about the 300+ Mahjong games, or gambling/casino games.

@alphabetapie said in Sega CD Discs/M3U Failure?:

My question is, why does EmulationStation behave differently from screen to screen?

Because each system/platform has its own list of file extensions.

@zenoxio You can bring up the RetroArch's RGUI and check how the Pad 2 is setup - is it set to 'RetroPad' or something else ? Might be that Genesis-Plus GX has a strange default for the 2nd controller, you could try lr-picodrive and see if the same issue happens.

@mitu Thanks. It's possible I didnt trigger the upload. I can't remember :-)

@doatzzed yes

@emulatre71 Please stop spamming the forum with these links.

I've owned The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ for a while and the Raspberry pi 4 4gb that I own right now is the one I prefer. If you do go with the RPI4 i do recommend you get heatsinks and a case with a small fan. If you are just doing non demanding emualtors then the RPI 3B should be fine. But with N64 I recommend the RPI4.

I do more PS1 and Dreamcast on my RPI4B and they run great. If you need tutorials check this channel out.

@emulatre71 @windg thanks for chiming in, yeah I actually do already have the F310 and am a fan for the most part (I did find the fact that you couldn't seem to program the Mode button on Retropie a bit disappointing, but that was before I knew that the Logitech logo was itself another button).

That F710 is a bit more expensive but I may look into that if I want a PS2-style wireless controller. Bluetooth would be ideal, but if indeed the Pi has issues with bluetooth devices I may just have to either get a USB hub (although I've heard that there can be issues powering them/that one might need to get one w/ an external power source, which could be kinda a hassle) and plug the 4th controller's dongle into that, or simply have to unplug the keyboard if we're playing a 4-player+ game.

@stevejp1978 Had to create an account just to say what a great idea that was. I just did the exact same thing. It was driving me nuts that the folders wouldnt get metadata. Especially when the folder contains 19 files that all have the same metadata

@chaalsbawkley Are you trying to save everything or just your ROMs? Im used to Lakka OS but I do keep a copy of my settings and files so I can transfer them easily. Especially thumbnails, they take forever to download if you have a a bunch of roms and systems.

Maybe not all of your configs will be transfer neatly.
