@mitu thank you for these links!! I will give these edits a go when I get home this evening and report back!

Thank you again! So helpful!!

@TeknoRaver said in DOSBox-Staging (install from source error when launched):

And you add more swap ram via using the vram method you mentioned before right?

No, that's for telling EmulationStation it can use more VRAM from the allocated GPU memory.

If not, how do you add more swap ram?

You create a swap file (see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-22-04#step-3-creating-a-swap-file ) or modify the default swap file size (see https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=46472).

Do you have any input remapping set-up ? Does it happen only on GBA games ?
Please provide the rest of the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first (emulator, image used for installation, etc.)

@luckyluca After building the sdl2remap branch, i got the same error. Do you know what the root-cause is for that error?

This has been taken care of.

Download the below as zip:

extract to pc.

Move wanted shaders to:

@barbudreadmon oh I follow you now. And that's nice to know about the mame keys. That will be useful to me shortly.

Thank you again for helping me understand all of this.

Luckily in this instance, it was user error.

@johnboy9809 I second mitu about the error screenshot. If you can post it that would be certainly helpful.

Then can you delete any Kickstart without the little green checkmark from the wiki page please?

Last your Monkey Island package is rather old. The latest version is SecretOfMonkeyIsland_v3.7_1625.lha (please note that package exists in several languages as well like SecretOfMonkeyIsland_v3.7_Fr_1750.lha).

Hope this helps.

This is correct.

The 3DO always resets when a disc is inserted. Games therefore expect a saved game in the NVRAM to be there. So set the NVRAM storage to "shared" and just play the game as normal.

The only reason for multi disc support in the emulator is to make the NVRAM shared. Not an useless feature but I've been busy with other things.

@mitu said in Error when I try to run Emulationstation on ubuntu 18.04 desktop:

DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0 emulationstation

that worked thanks

@SAVVYSCLUTTER We're not your 'support hotline' so it's useless to tag your topic with 'URGENT'. Don't be rude with the other forum members and don't shout.

Come back when you're ready to talk politely.

@sirhenrythe5th Awesome! Thank you for this response. It will be very helpful in getting rid of some of the systems I don't intend on playing on my arcade cabinet! Thank you again!!

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Can the Konami Arcade Advanced ROMs run on an NES emulator?:

running them on an VTxx emulator

Fixing your typo.

I'm not saying there are no VTxx emulators, you know at the very least about one (MAME/MESS). There might be others.
You seem to think that it's normal for an emulator to support every kind of similar hardware, but it's not (e.g. most console emulators are unable to emulate their arcade counterpart).

Edit : i found this old topic : https://forums.libretro.com/t/which-core-would-you-best-recommend-to-play-old-nes-bootleg-games/36763

Reinstalling RetroPie fixed it.

Reinstalling RetroPie fixed it.

@retropieuser555 I got noticeably reduced framerate and frequent audio drop-outs with lr-next on a stock Pi4 w/ no overclock.

I wonder if there is a solution to getting PS1 controllers working on the Pi?
