We'll the power saving features seem to be doing the job. I've been monitoring for the last 24 hours checking temps cpu usage etc and putting power saving onto default, emulation station appears to be not using a lot of cpu anymore when I check with the top command so with that in mind I'll just keep in running all the time.
Thanks for the help guys :)

@mitu for more portage with opengl support (exagear and others)

@Rameshsalvi Please don't open multiple topics for the same question. I've merged the topics into a single one.

As it turns out, the board with the safe shutdown circuitry was missing a resistor near the fan header, so the path that needed to be made to induce the script was not being completed. Retroflag was kind enough to send a replacement board, and now it works perfectly. No script modifications required. See the included picture for details.alt text

@park757 try the official PSU as recommended. One without an in-line switch.

@teller B-Em uses the library Allegro 4.x and other libraries so I think it would need Raspbian installed.

As far as I know yes but they are community fixes. Nothing got implemented officially by now to fix this.

As Example: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11083/dreamcast-reicast-time-and-date/5

Just took me a quick search on here.

@SpudsMcToole said in Is it possible to reinstall an older version of an emulator?:

Fortunately, in the last possible attempt before having to type lines like THAT, I got it all working...

Very nice! Glad to hear everything's working now. Something to keep in mind for future endeavors is that no one actually types command lines like the ones listed above, as there would be too much margin for error. For situations like that, a quick copy and paste into a remote ssh session will save finger cramping and your sanity.

@mitu It was just an issue with size! after using the cdmi it worked! Thank you so much!

Hi,
I can confirm this does actually work.
Re-tried it when the little one went to bed last night.
Things are always easier when she constantly under my feet lol.
Thanks

@AtTheArcade you don't have audio and it crashes because the audio settings changed. You need to go to the settings (start menu), audio settings and you'll see an option that's empty, with just the arrows. You'll need to select something there.

I probably should look into a small upgrade path for that change.

@PonasM

I put together a guide here for xboxdrv. It's an involved process, but very flexible.

just FYI, aspect_ratio_index = "23" isn't 'custom viewport' anymore. i think it's 24 now.

it seems like this config change would be the same as just setting 'integer scaling' for GBA to on via https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor

@RedbeardTheVast You can try using the procedure to run the ROMs from USB (the Manual mount method) and replace the USB device with SD device, the setup should be the same and it's just the mount device that's different. The USB device should be something like /dev/sda1, the SD device probably something like /dev/mmcblk0p1.
