@ImArchimedes said in Rotating screen in emulationstation ONLY:

@Psynaptik I know this post is ancient but I was curious about the specifics or how you rotated attach mode. I'd read on a different thread that it should be done in the layout.nut file but using:

fe.layout.base_rotation = Rotation.Right

I gave this a shot but the screen hasn't rotated.

Also, did you end up installing the package with your install that already had emulation station installed or did you use one of the prebuilt images like the one from Floob?

Thanks a bunch!

You need to type fe.layout.orient=RotateScreen.Left;

or right depending on monitor

Also for games to rotate
Go to opt/retropie/configs/arcade and open retroarch.cfg. Above the #include line you should add...
video_allow_rotate = "true"
video_rotation = "1"

from the Retropie setup menu in EmulationStation enable Runcommand option

select a game to play ... press a button to enter the Runcommand menu and select a lower resolution for the Video Mode than you're currently running the game at.

I will stop using retropie

I'll take that as a yes.

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

The terminal emulator doesn't properly report its name. Try running export TERM=xterm before running the command. If that doesn't work, then use Putty to connect to RetroPie.

And please, don't bump old topics - you should have opened a new one.

THANK YOU @dankcushions !

Your pointer was half of the solution so let me write the other half in case anyone else searches for this answer.

Setting the resolution in the retroarch Options menu did not have any effect until I also turned on "Alternate render method" in the same menu. At that point all resolution changes took immediate effect (upon leaving the retroarch UI) and now this all works perfectly.

I will write up the rest of my method to launch rom-less system soon!

Thanks again.

@mitu That field disappears when I use Safari on my IPAD in this forum. I just switched to a different browser.

Sorry, I didn´t read that mb.

But I will try to get it running with the officcial retropie image!

Thanks for replying anyway :)

@rogeriol Please open a new topic and add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, don't bump old topics.

@mitu By saying that I use Archlinux, it was to say that I understand how it works. In the end I found the "xpad driver" bug. I could already see myself doing a new installation.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is when I run .sh to run retroarch, generate favorites ... from ssh yes. But it is a lesser evil that will have a solution.

My next system with retropie will already be a minipc with ryzen. That although I have all the consoles, I love to emulate.

Turning off "parse gamelists only" setting did the trick. NES loaded and I was able to scrape again and have a new gamelist.xml. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

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

If you run the RetroPie-Setup script from the terminal - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/ - can you see any error messages ?

@TheRog third party images are not supported here (as outlined in this post), particularly those sold with games already installed. You'll have to contact the seller for support or you can create your own image as outlined here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.

I just tested with 1944.
Mame2010 saves the hiscore.
Mame2016 doesn't.
Unfortunately mame2010 only recognizes 1 joystick.
So it must be due to the mame2016 configuration (?).

Hi Mitu, Thanks for confirming that. I'll move the effected games to use a different Emulator. Cheers Simon

We don't support 3rd party images, especially ones loaded with ROMS. Ask the author(s) for support or start with the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

@mitu Again thank you so much! I really appreciate your help.

I had the same issue on my PC with that stick. There's a TINY little note in the instructions that I found:

"DINPUT Mode: press and hold 'Start' and 'Y/triangle' for 3-5 seconds to switch to DINPUT mode."
(with the switch down in DIN/PS3/SNK position)

That might help.

Could it also be 4 way vs 8 way controller? I read 8 way controllers on these games can have glitches when transitioning....it could manifest as control delays. I happen to have a 4 way plus an 8 way setup so I always use 4 way for the old games.

@steve8091 said in Setting up Asteroids Control Panel with USB Controller:

I want to be able to fine tune vector settings, which the default-installed MAME doesn't allow me to do.

But mame2003-plus does. Just FYI.

Thanks for sharing your solution, have fun with RetroPie.
