@danyo
Got it running. Thanks!

Aha!

So it works, thank you very much for your guidance, Rascas!

So, for future Googlers who may be having this same issue (Missing the PVR's in Kodi on Retropie), here's the full solution:

Install Retropie, then install Kodi via the "Optional Packages" in the configuration menu.

When you're in Retropie, press F4 on your keyboard to open a Terminal window.

Enter the following commands one at a time (to install the "IPTV Simple PVR"):

apt-cache search kodi-pvr

sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-iptvsimple

Once complete, type "exit" (without the quotation marks) to get back into Retropie.

Scroll to Ports then choose Kodi.

In Kodi, DO NOT go to PVR's. If you do you will see it is blank and will get angry and think what you did in fact did not work.

Instead, go to "Add-Ons" then "My Add-Ons" and view "All" and you will see the IPTV simple client. Go to it and then Enable it as most likely it will be Disabled to begin with.

Voila!

If you know how to use IPTV then go ahead and set it up.

Take Care!

Hi all.

I'm fairly new to Retropie etc. and I realise this is an old thread, but just in case this helps someone else. I have been trying to run vice xvic with 16k expansion as some ROMs seemed to require this, they were just failing to load and showing error. I read a bunch of posts on the forum suggesting that a separate run command could be placed in emulators.cfg file with a command line switch (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1052/vic20-cartridge-launching/3) but everything I tried failed except this:

vice-xvic = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh xvic %ROM%"
vice-xvic-expanded = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh xvic %ROM% -memory all"
vice-xvic-cart = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh xvic %ROM% -cartgeneric"

This was added to my /opt/retropie/configs/vic20/emulators.cfg file and now my vic20 ROMs load (once I select vice-xvic-expanded on the load screen.) Any Vic 20 ROMS that don't like the memory expansion should use the default vice-xvic.

It seems the issues with some of the command line switch suggestions I was copying from the forum were that single quotes don't work in these commands e.g. = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh 'xvic -cartgeneric' %ROM% " and %ROM% should come before the switch i.e. %ROM% -memory all .... not .... -memory all %ROM%

If anyone is wondering how I have a separate vic20 folder instead of this just being under the default c64, I followed these instructions: https://ianwilliamhill.co.uk/c16rp/index.php

I hope this helps!

I solved the issue.

If anyone else has this problem, you need to make sure which WM you're using. Apparently if your WM is Wayland, and RetroPie tries to use X11 to run the game, it won't work. Disabling Wayland solves this particular issue. To do so do the following:

sudo /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Find

#WaylandEnable=false

And uncomment it by changing it to

WaylandEnable=false

Save, exit, and reboot and Ubuntu will use X11 instead of Wayland and that solved the problem for me. I'm not sure that this is a common problem, and I'm not entirely sure how I ended up using Wayland, but if anyone else has this problem the solution will be here.

That's it, thanks.

Yes, they should work fine.

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

The system won't take the BIOSes also when I put in games it only accepts the .cue files.

Yes, EmulationStation doesn't list the .bin file, though the game needs them. So if you copied just the .cue files, that's not going to work. A CD image has both a .cue and - at least - a .bin file.

What are the names of the BIOS files and where did you copy them ?

Does PCSX no longer work? Can anyone help me? I'm new to this so please explain to me in easy ways

pcsx-rearmed is not compatible with the Pi4. I suggest to start with the Gettig started page from the [Docs][https://retropie.org.uk/docs/] to familiarize yourself with RetroPie, then take a look at the PS1 page from the same docs, to check if your BIOS files are named correctly.

@MultoBene you are trying to mount an image file to drive "2". It's expecting a letter like "d" not a number. You might look into using a .conf file instead for launching your ROMs. I'm not 100% sure if they work with lr-dosbox. Lr-dosbox had extremely poor performance last I tried so I haven't messed with it very much.

@bryan617 said in Nested ROM folders and box art:

Is there any way to have the box art for NES and SNES show up without taking the ROMs out of their nested folders and placing them directly in their system folder?

Short answer - no. The folder doesn't have box art, so it's normal you're seeing the boxartonly when entering the folder and looking at the actual ROM.

This worked well. :)

I commented out the back button mapping in es_input.cfg.
I used Notepadd++ to inject <kidgame>true</kidgame> on the line just before </game> for each entry in the gamelist.xml.
I set ES to start in the arcade system.
I set ES UI Mode to Kid.

The only buttons that now work are Launch (A), Random (X), Page Up (L) and Page Down (R). Connecting a keyboard (already mapped) or exiting Kid mode gives me full UI control again.

This is the solution I have been looking for all along! :)

@mitu due https://github.com/pimoroni/Picade-Sketch/blob/master/Picade/Picade.ino i think it's pretty time consuming reconfigure the hardware due the picade-hat is recognized as a keyboard. I just changed forcing the value : input_movie_record_toggle into /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to be not 'o'.

Thanks old post. I was stumped for days. Tried this method and works! Thank you!

@mitu said in No HW Acceleration Manual Installation RPi 4 (v4.6):

are you sure you've

I know that it feels strange, but I am sure. You can tell by the prompt "pi@raspberrypi" (Raspbian Image + Manual Installation) vs. "pi@retropie" (Pre-built).

Then I don't know what could be the cause. As I said, the RetroPie image is basically a mint Raspbian Lite over which a RetroPie installation is performed.

You still helped me find a workaround, which I am very grateful for that. Thanks again for your time and support :)

@Arsonist then the login details should work. Make sure you spell raspberry correctly (easy to typo). But you're probably running a Raspbian Stretch based image (which is unsupported upstream and will be by retropie also in the future) so might be a good time to start from a fresh image.

The package is downloaded from redream.io, which seems to have connectivity problems at the moment, so the package download/query hangs.

Did you try changing it in the Core Options ? Open the RGUI with Hotkey + X and use the Options menu to change the setting.
