@nikosfx180 said in Help to run script before emulation station start:

@mitu two people here are making machines and sell extra images on sd cards and the images are free on the internet.

it's not the first time scammers are using the forum for support.

So ihave spend lot of time on my image to crate something good and i dont want to copy this people the image and sell it with cabinets and make money with my image.

Selling RetroPie images is against the project's license. You're nothing but a scammer.

@MegaTimX said in Rpi 4, No display on my 3440x1440 monitor, works perfectly on my 4k TV.:

Hopefully in a future update HDMI support for this monitor(resolution?aspect ratio?) for the Rpi4 will be added.

Unless someone reports it upstream, I don't think it will be magincally solved.
Someone reported something similar this last year and for them it has been solved with a firmware update, see https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=248037&start=25.

If the recommendations in that topic won't solve your issue, then I suggest replying to that topic and adding your own monitor EDID for the RPT engineers to check it.

@quicksilver said in Dreamcast Windows CE game stuck on start:

Although flycast has WinCE support, but only for 64 bit systems.

Yes, iirc there were major performance concerns about porting it to 32-bit

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Some punctuation/phrasing wouldn't hurt either.

To better diagnose the error, please add the contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log log file, taken after you ge the crash, to pastebin.com and post the link here in the topic.

i waited 4 hours and now both the sd card and the external drive are empty.

That's weird, since the USB rom service doesn't delete anything from the sdcard when copying. Is your disc powered from the PI or externally ?

@mats164 said in Problem with controller mapping being different in games and menu:

@mats164 Could I delete the es_input.cfg.bak as well, and then reconfigure the mapping?

No, that's not the way. You can reset your input configuration through the RetroPie-Setup script - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#es_inputcfg-edits.

You should have a 'Disc Control' menu in RetroArch when you open the RGUI menu, from where you can append a new disc, then eject/load insert the 'virtual' disc tray to load that disc. It's described also in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#multi-disc-games, but your version is a bit old,so the instructions might not match.

@hermit NTSC filters is not the same thing as setting the machine itself to be NTSC. NTSC filters is a bunch of settings that let you do finetuned video effects, sort of like the shaders in Retroarch. They work in the standalone atari800 emu, but not in lr-atari800.

I have NTSC working just fine here in lr-atari800 -- in fact, if you see this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22392/lr-atari800-5200-artifacting-basic-and-other-guidance you will see comparison shots of PAL vs NTSC.

@VictimRLSH That worked! Thank you very much for the help

That will probably work.. I'll give it a try.Thanks

@OldSchool Did you research if this is actually necessary? I used my 250 GB Samsung EVO 840 connected with an SATA-to-USB adapter to one of the USB2 ports of my Pi 3B (without +) for over two years without any problems, and now its connected to my new Pi 4B Rev 1.2 via USB3 for a month, again without any issues.

What problems exactly do you expect and where did you learn about them?

edit: I should mention that I also had/have a PacDrive LED controller for my 18 illuminated buttons and a wireless Mayflash Wii-U Pro gamepad adapter connected to the USB ports of both of my Pis, all of them without external power. The only somewhat funny "issue" I noticed is that the buttons flicker ever so slightly when the ssd is being accessed. 😊

@xtv Just out of curiosity: Did you actually use beetle-psx on a Pi (which one?) and if so, how did it hold up since it's known for being too slow on ARM?

That's very unfortunate. 😔 I was hoping myself to get rid of my hardware HDMI splitter now that the Pi 4 has two outputs.

@quicksilver Oh! Thank you for all your advice <3

@Clyde said in RetroPie 4.6 crashing with video snaps on Rpi 4 4GB:

: With OMX, the videos froze the Pi 4 only in the game list, while VLC froze only in the video screensaver.

Hm, that may be something new. If you disable the audio for video, do you still get the crash with omxplayer ?

I couldn't reproduce this in my new installation from the official image before the update. In fact, I found out that it was not the videos that crashed, but the navigation sounds from Emulation Station! I did suspect the videos because any time I tried to move to another game in the list, the system froze so hard that only the Magic SysReq keys REISUB or a hard reset could help.

I'll post my further findings in the thread Failed to find mixer elements… since they are definately off-topic here now.

@tiffanitza I had exactly the same issue. I could edit the controller config in redream and assign a button to exit the emulator but it only worked once. When I went back into redream the button was set back to none. I ran the command chmod 777 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_boot.bin and chmod 777 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/dc/dc_flash.bin

Now when the button is set and I exit redream it is saved. Works every time now and even after reboots and power downs.

@scousetrooper In this case, the disc usage might come from Skyscraper's cache. Try moving the cache from $HOME/.skyscraper/cache to your disc - besides moving the actual folder, you'll have to amend $HOME/.skyscraper/config.ini to point it to the new location - see https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/CONFIGINI.md.

@sexbeer

I had a similar issue. It's related to a Pi OS update rather than RetroPie itself. There appears to be a few solutions depending on your setup, but the quickest, hassle free way of fixing for the time being is to open up your /boot/cmdline.txt and add the following to the end, which enables ALSA compatible mode:

snd-bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa=1

If you haven't changed anything else to try to get it to work, a reboot should be all that is required.

Thanks

Hey bud, we are in the same boat. Run jstest and write down all the inputs and corresponding numbers. Use your Rii to hit f1 while in lr-mupen64plus-next to open the retroarch GUI and scroll down to "controls", then remap everything according to you jstest results. This got me to the point where every button works except for c-up and c-right. Please let me know if you can get any further or if you've already solved the issue.
