@brimby said in Video snaps became "blue-tinted" all of a sudden:

This is probably going to sound insane because I can't find anyone else having this issue

There have been at least 3 posts about this in the last few days. It's a known issue from the latest raspbian update

Downgrade vlc or switch to omxplayer

We don't support 3rd party images.

@six-string said in Unable to connect to WiFi:

@mitu Well... just installed Raspbian. Still can't connect to network.

Guess I'll look into troubleshooting that. Thanks.

This is stupid but I found solution. You need to connect an RJ45 (ethernet) cable to rpi port. Now you can run raspi-config without wpa-supplicant error and There was an error running option N2 Wi-fi.. Then can you now set ssid and password (now reboot or not) and wifi will works correctly.

When this wifi works correctly bluetooth too works good. When I had problem (like you) with wifi my bluetooth was non stop disconnecting.

@deceased10 turn the volume to 100%. Use the menu to quit and shutdown. During that shutdown process it will save your settings.

@JeZxLee Didn't you already opened a topic about this about 3 weeks ago ?

Another common way to access Retropie via SSH on Windows (or SFTP for that matter) is WinSCP, see the Docs again for the login details.

@herb_fargus Thanks! I'll give that a try.

so it turns out doing relative file paths for the symlink worked a treat, but i was still having issues with config.txt
I managed to track it down though. Mounting the boot partition, changing the config, then unmounting wasn't actually working!! if i re-mounted again straight away, it would be back to the original files.

I found a fix though, you have to mount the loop device with a sync flag, this stops it caching the changes and makes it work as expected :)

thanks again for your help @mitu :)

@bubbypop666 Adafruit carries them.

@Mikey123 So.., right now do you still need help or have you figured out how the core remapping works ?

I think I've found the issue. There are two connections on the button as well as ground. I've switched few of the buttons over to the second connection and they all now function as expected. The ones I haven't changed still result in continuous firing.

I'll continue to rewire and report back if the results are good.

@mitu yup it seemed to remember the controller when it was the only one plugged in. What I’ve noticed is that the controller is switching to and from JS0 to JS1. I just configured it with the keyboard and it’s JS0 again. I’m wondering if having multiple controllers plugged in at one time might be the issue. I’ll try running Drastic and using just the lone PS4 controller and hopefully it works out!

Thanks again!

@Vikeyev Did you modify the /etc/rc.local startup script ? Remove or comment anything there if you did and see if that fixes your init problem.

@AndersHP it's only slower if the shader causes you to lose frames, but i would guess that the 10% of games that you're losing frames with the crt-pi shader now, it will be less than 10% with the zfast-crt shader.. maybe 0% :)

Seems like the VLC update from Raspbian broke something. Your problem seems similar to a recently reported issue here. I'm going to ask the same things to track things down

add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first run the ffmpeg command to identify which video codec/format is the video file that doesn't work.

Can you upload on of the video files with the problem somewhere (Dropbox/Google Drive/etc.) to take a look at it ?

@SpudsMcToole

If you are not satisfied with the performance, try to switch the 'Synchronisation method' to 'Flexible'. With the 'Exact' method I got only 90% and choppy sound...
Under the 'Video settings' / ' Size settings' disable 'Double size/Double scan/Full screen options' and set the 'Custom resolution' to 384x272, SDL2 will do its job.

Sorry for my poor english. ;)

Turns out the only gamelist that was created was in ~/RetroPie/roms/retropie/gamelist.xml , (there was only this single one on my whole disk, and I did search for hidden files, too).
But in the retropie_setup.sh -> tools -> scraper options, I had disabled (or forgotten to enable) that the .xmls be put in their respective rom directories.
So I deleted the single gamelist and image folder (that contained metadata for >10 systems), scraped again, since I really couldn't be bothered with manually sorting metadata for >4k Roms into different folders, and this time everything was saved to the right locations!
Thank you very much for providing me with the correct locations, the problem is solved now and the thread can be closed.

@zmb187 Please add more information about your system as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

What controller types ? Are you supplying enough power to the PI with a proper power source ?
