So, in other words, the card doesn't have a software volume control and you had to add a fake one to keep ES (or other ALSA based mixers) happy. That doesn't seem too practical if your Pi is not easily accessible.

Glad you got this sorted out, it's a good use case to have in mind.

@ilchymis
I would just like to add that the BIOS file for lr-genesis-plus-gx is different from the one for lr-picodrive.

It sounds like your lr-picodrive BIOS file is correct, while the one for lr-genesis-plus-gx is not (as mitu has suggested).

I'm pretty sure your issue is not the same as mine, since my BIOS files were correct. It simply couldn't find them due to mis-configuration.

Thank you for your post. Having two SF30 pro and got the same issue.
After configuring as per you post above, the mapping is strange. For example, the hotkey is used to jump under tomb raider.
In other words, the controller map is not as per lib-retro "standard" for psx. Any idea how to be back on standard lib retro mapping ?
My config : retropie 4.7.3 / pi 4

Bonjour, j'utilise retropie sur ubuntu 18.04 et installé dolphin.
tout fonctionne a part que si je met la langue de la wii en francais , a chaque démarrage du jeu avec emulationstation le jeu change de langue automatiquement et repasse en anglais.
sur la gamecube je n'est pas ce probleme
quand je lance dolphin sans passé par émulationstation la langue que j'ai choisi se met bien et reste tel que je l'ai mise, des que je lance les jeux avec emulationstation la langue se modifie et ce n'est plus celle que j'ai mise
Es-ce que quelq'un a déja eu le cas et a une solution
merci

I found another option for getting performance information logged - RetroArch performance counters: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/generating-retroarch-logs/

I haven't seen anything useful logged yet though :/

Ok, so having spent quite a bit of time on this, I would have to downgrade my assessment to semi-successful - ha! I ended up having to install alot of emulators that I thought would still be on there as they were on my old build, and nearly all the other emulators had binary updates for me to run.

My RetroPie build is very basic really, with the only tweaks being those detailed in the official docs, so looking back I think if I was to do this process again, I would just start completely clean and go through each system one by one to check all is working correctly and updating/tweaking as appropriate. At least then I would know what needed to be done, rather than finding some things had copied over and other bits hadn't. This is most definitely due to errors on my part I'm sure.

On the plus side, on my 4.4 build my Sega CD and ZX Spectrum games wouldn't work (Sega CD would jump back to ES, and ZX Spectrum would crash the Pi) but now they do, so not sure what happened there but it's all good now - ha!

Please add some more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

You shouldn't have removed rfkill, I suggest you reinstall it. What's the output of the following commands:

rfkill list all iwconfig

Another method to configure the Wi-Fi is to create a complete wpa_supplicant.conf cofiguration file, including the country, as explained here.

@grand_national to exit Atari 800 standalone emulator you have to use the keyboard (F9). F1 enters the configuration. Only retroarch emulators and a couple of standalone emulators like amiberry and mupen64 support exiting with the select+start combination. But the standalone Atari 800 emulator is a lot more functional than the libretro core.

@mitu. Hi, at first the omxplayer was on, as the tutorial suggested and then after reading a long winded forum about this issue, one of the things was to turn it off. So I did but still had stay issue.
I thought it could have been a bad skyscraper install, so I also uninstalled that but same issue.
So I left it a while to register on here and it wrack my brain around it.
Then, even though I did a script update and I knew I had the latest retropie installed cos I'd only just done it from the site a couple of days ago. I decided to do it again, the script took no time at all, the main update this time took 2 hours. I rebooted and for some reason it all works fine now, no freezing. So I put the omxplayer back on and it's still fine. Haven't yet re installed skyscraper but I don't know if it now works because of that or a second update after the preview videos where on.
Either way it works now.
Thanks for commenting anyway.

@buzz I've tried this before, but I've tried again just now, to make sure.

overscan_top=40 overscan_bottom=40 overscan_left=40 overscan_right=40 overscan_scale=0

While this does add the overscan on the console, it also adds it to EmulationStation and RetroArch while emulating.

Using Retropie on a Raspberry Pi

PSP games in .pbp format will work fine in ppsspp and lr-ppsspp

PSX games in .pbp format will work fine using lr-pcsx_rearmed

@lochnagar I know the music on Tomba II is glitchy and plays the wrong track on the default (and only emulator if on a pi) psx emulator. It’s old and buggy and hasn’t really been updated with any significance in a long time. But it runs very smoothly on low end hardware and runs most games just fine. There is no fix unless someone updates the emulator to fix said bugs.

@dunginhawk

I love your Iowa Hawkeye artwork. Would you be willing to sell or share it? I am building my own home arcade.

Thank you-

Does anyone know if the alternative Setup script from this repository https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup will help ?

Thanks for any help.

@daviidx6tance Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please provide more information as detailed in link.

@buzz

Omg thank you so much. I have 2 Nes30 and 2 Nes30 Pro and the last freaking controller wouldnt match with my raspberry for several hours now.. it literally was the distance. I didnt come up with this idea, because all other 3, even the other nes30 pro, worked perfectly from far away. I put it right on the raspberry and it worked instant.
Maybe there are several version with different antenna or sthg?

Again: thanks, im a little mad about this garbage, but also happy it works now.

@mitu ye theres a boot drive on the sd card

@dankcushions yeah that theory makes sense. Good enough for me. Lol.

Is there an Apple emulation specialist here ?
