    @PJ7 Not really possible at the moment, because the music is not part of Emulationstation. In the future, it might be possible by adding a script for the 'sleep' /'screensaver-start' event in Emulationstation that would stop the music.

    @retropieting I know this topic is quite old, however I had exactly the same issue and was able to fix it so I thought I would share it here for others with the same problem.

    The issue is that the Scraper included the "Mame2003" game folder (for want of a better term) as a game to be scraped. The lines it adds (Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Players) relates to Developer, Publisher, Genre and # of players.

    The way I got round it was to boot into retropie, then press select/options (on the controller) when Highlighting the Mame2003 folder and chose to edit the games meta details. I then typed a unique value for the Developer and saved it. Then when I looked in the gamelist.xml file I could see the entry right at the bottom of the file under the <folder> tags. I then edited this file to include some blurb around the emulator itself, gave it a first release date (5th Feb 97 if I remember correctly) and added a nice image to round it off.

    I do wonder if you could correct the issue permanently by deleting the folder section from the xml file, but I quite liked the summary.

    Hope this helps someone else!

    Well, the usual troubleshooting steps are

    start with the RetroPie image from retropie.org.uk/download. It's a tested and mostly stock Raspbian image and the best baseline system to start experimenting. make sure you have an adequate power supply and you don't get any under-voltage warnings. test if the device is detected by the OS by running a few command line utilities # see what USB devices are connected with lsusb # see what input devices are detected by the OS and what kind (gamepad/keyboard/mouse/etc.) cat /proc/bus/input/devices test if the device inputs are registered in the system by running a few joystick/gamepad testing programs fromt the command line that capture the button/joypad/d-pad presses and show them on the terminal: # 1st joystick jstest /dev/input/js0 # 2nd joystick jstest /dev/input/js1 # another testing utility evtest

    @mitu sorry, must have read too quickly. I was thinking one credit per each time the emulator is started, and then drop a credit when the game exits.

    @Honda-Z50M I don't think you're gonna get much help here now, now that the site knows you're using a third party image.

    @mitu My mistake! You were right! The config was set to true in the retroarch.cfg file in the /opt/retropie/configs/arcade directory.

    @cyperghost thanks will check that link out!

    I switched everything round, loaded up a random playstation game (2002 Fifa World Cup) and hit various hotkey combos (save state, load state, retroarch menu, exit emulator) a few times. All seemed to work without issue. The main test will be a longer play with testing throughout so will see how it goes.

    @mitu Thanks for the link. I checked it out, but it doesn't appear to fix the main problem of disrupting retropie. It only fixes games with mic issues, if I understand it correctly.

    This was the issue I was having: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10110/drastic-nds-emulator-breaks-run-command-emulator-configuration-prompt-in-retropie4-2/30

    Though in my case, it seems to have disabled the retropie setup menu as well... even after I uninstalled it. I switched to my backup SD card and so far no problems with the retropie setup menu, although, I still can't get other systems to boot after I've launched a NDS game.

    @Norstein We don't support 3rd party images and links to ROMs/BIOS/copyrighted material is not allowed.
    Install the image from retropie.org.uk/download and configure your overlays there.

    @Akyita said in UI Feedback Sounds:

    -Is there a way to put more sounds?

    No, Emulationstation doesn't have support for other sounds other than the gamelist navigation (scrolling through games).

    @Amishgamer
    It is likely that your pi was throttling to 1200mhz
    setting mine to 1200mhz returned 95s sysbench.
    while it used to do this at 70c it has been changed to 60c degrees
    if you have a fan or heatsink make sure they are properly fixed.
    if you only have a heatsink and no fan then this temperature is normal, and the throttling level can be increased by setting
    temp_soft_limit=70
    to config.txt

    here are some commands to read from vcgencmd the current voltage and frequencies
    for src in arm core h264 isp v3d; do echo -e "$src:\t$(vcgencmd measure_clock $src)"; done

    for id in core sdram_p sdram_i sdram_c ; do echo -e "$id:\t$(vcgencmd measure_volts $id)"; done
    and read the systems boot time, userspace time completion can vary by up to 5 - 90 seconds depending on the last shutdown and if the system thinks it needs a filesystem check or on usb drives.
    systemd-analyze

    I added them to a script to be able to execute all together

    #!/bin/bash for id in core sdram_p sdram_i sdram_c ; do echo -e "$id:\t$(vcgencmd measure_volts $id)"; done for src in arm core h264 isp v3d; do echo -e "$src:\t$(vcgencmd measure_clock $src)"; done cpuTemp0=$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp) cpuTemp1=$(($cpuTemp0/1000)) cpuTemp2=$(($cpuTemp0/100)) cpuTempM=$(($cpuTemp2 % $cpuTemp1)) echo CPU temp"="$cpuTemp1"."$cpuTempM"'C" echo GPU $(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp) systemd-analyze

    Know the thread is old but ran into this issue when i was asked to fix a Raspberry pi with an older version of retropie that was getting the vlc error the OP was getting, fixed it with the following command.

    sudo apt-get install libvlc5

    also got the following error also with libbrcmEGL.so after the above was fixed so used the following to fix this one also.

    sudo apt-get install libraspberrypi0

    after these two, retropie and emulationstation functioned as it should.

    I followed that advice prior to posting my original request, forgot to mention it.

    Is there any way to recover some of the saved game states from the SD card?

    What might have caused the initial problem?

    I wonder how quickness determines the region - there's nothing in the Core Options (like Nestopia or Fceumm) which can select the Region. How is the ROM file named ?
