@CH their product page on amazon says to go to https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xin-Mo-Controller/ for retropie configuration. basically it seems you need to add usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040 to your kernel parameters, i don't know the specifics for linux mint but i'm sure google will tell you how to do that.

Using a PC, Clonezilla comes to mind: https://clonezilla.org/
Haven't used it for RP SSDs so far, but it is my preferred choice for my Desktop PC(s) external Ubuntu Boot HDDs...

@doubleup_dan said in Black screen after overclock with argon40 case:

So I have installed a damasos nostalgia trip 200gb and my pi4 4gb is in an Argone40 case and it has been mostly running fine.

We don't support 3rd party images - it's clearly stated in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Start with the image from retropie.org.uk/download if you wish to get support here in the forums.

@mitu have tried source and binary packages. Will raise with libretro.

@ToddThomas said in RetroPie/EmuStation/RetroArch not Keeping IPAC4 Config:

Let me take one step back and ask you this. On a fresh install of Retropie, if all I have hooked up is the IPac4, should EmulationStation prompt me that there is no controller/gampad recognized (like the F310)? Or should it move on to the heart of the program?

On a fresh install, it always ask to configure controlls (even with a recognized controller). IMHO that it ain't reporting something like "keyboard detected, press any key to configure it as input" and just states that no controller was detected is a bit arguable, nevertheless on first start that is the expected behaviour.
But afterwards, if the keyboard was setup as a controller, the dialog shouldn't appear anymore - and besides /opt/.../all/retroarch.cfg I have no idea what other configs could be responsible and /core/rom override retroarch.cfgs should have no effect on ES.
Could you log into your system via ssh and look at the output from lsusb to see if the IPac is listed as a recognized Device if that Requester Pops up again after the initial setup?

Please don't bump old topics. I've split your post from the topic you previously replied.

Regarding your question - did you copy any ROMs/games in the zx81 folder, then restarted EmulationStation ? Even if the emulator is installed, the system will not show up in the list unless you have some content.

@Animator811 said in Multiple controllers issue:

I’ve built a retropi and I’m using an image from Arcade Punks that I really like

As mentioned in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, we don't support 3rd party images. Ask the author(s) of the image for guidance or use the image from retropie.org.uk/download if you wish to get support here in the forums.

Addendum: You could (re-)compress the uncompressed .cue and .bin pairs (or multiples) to the CHD format with will often shrink them up to around 50% of their former size and put them into just one file you can drop into your roms/psx directory. In my experience, those CHDs will run in 80-90% of the cases.

This one-liner will do that with all cue files and their corresponding bin files in the current directory.

for i in *.cue; do chdman createcd -i "$i" -o "${i%%.*}.chd"; done

Important: This will cut off the filenames after the first dot for the output CHD filenames. Remove one % from "${i%%.*}.chd to cut only the last extension for compatibility with filenames with multiple dots.

Beware though that this will only work with single-disk games. For storing multiple disks in one container you'll need the PBP format, which is also supported by Retropie's PSX emulators.

That said, be sure to check https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/ to see which emulators support CHD if you want to go that road.

This confusion happened over the course of weeks after I disabled the onscreen help. Forgive me. I've got some grey hair in my late 30s. :D

@CapNinja said in 3 Questions, 1 Noob:

But I want to save the image scaling to all games in that system. Is that not possible?

It is, the same Overrides menu has a Save Content Directory override, which saves the settings for the entire folder.

OK Thank-you for the clarification.

I figured out how to set up wifi! Thanks!

@mitu Yes, that solved everything. Thank you kindly for your time and help. I appreciate it a lot.

As this question has not really been answered yet: for the people who bought a 4/8GB Pi4: as far as this amount will never be useful for the emulators, would it be helpful to increase the VRAM to 2/4GB?

Amazing, now I have to figure out how to set up wifi and then configure for PiTFT possibly. I'll watch some videos. Thanks for all your help. :)

@simpleethat its almost like we need to ask before our eyes see the truth lol. Thanks though I dont quite feel so alone now xD

I slept on it

There was nothing I could do , I tried a lot of things I think I completely ruined the whole RetroArch.cfg

I just decided to start from scratch with a fresh new start

I will be tweaking and orginizing my Pi all day

If I come across any issues I will post in the forums

Than you both for all the help

Appreciate it

Use imgur.com and upload the images - they may be too large for the forum.

If you have a spare USB stick, put a bootable Linux system like Ubuntu on it, boot your PC from the stick, and transfer the files using its so-called "live system".

See https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows for instructions how to create the bootable stick in Windows, and https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install how to boot your PC into its live system.

Background: The live Linux should be able to write to your Windows partitions out of the box, whereas Windows can't read the Linux file system on your RetroPie card without third party software.

As always, be sure to backup any important data on your PC drive(s) before doing something with your PC that you never did before! Although Ubuntu's live image is known to be safe for many years, accidents or user mistakes can always happen.
