Ya I have been looking into python, but instead of 'sleep' replaced that with a 'sync;sync' to check if the system is being written to. (Was told this is much better to do it twice as the fist time it might wight some code back or something I cant remember why for sure. ) But it starts to play a video prior to the rest of the code., so the video starts and then while its playing the shutdown is started and the actual shutdown is not ran until it get info back that the video is finished. This way the video can be any length I want. :)

Going to look more into python and better methods of doing the shutdown. Once finished I plan to send them the code so they can update it. Any help is apreciated. :)

Enjoy retropie! It’s class.

Thanks for the help!

I didn't do anything, but glad you got it sorted out !

@mitu said in RetroPie controller set up issue:

@ranma The problem in this topic is specific to the xpad driver, which powers the Xbox 360/One controllers, it's not a general one.
Basically, after an update of kernel, the xpad RetroPie driver was not installed and overwritten by the default one, which is sometimes incomplete depending on the model. This has been reported after the 4.4 was released, but was fixed some time ago https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/f6e5a6d70512fc796a4fb535ddf1b44ea985db47.

Oh I see. I assumed as the Logitech F710 switch had to be set to X input rather than D that this issue was effectively the same as mine. I'll start a new thread when I decide to have another attempt and if the problem resurfaces. Many thanks. :-)

Thanks!

I had a check of the RGUI and that's showing the savefile setting as Content Dir as @mitu said.

I've had a look for hidden folders and such like, and searched for ".srm" within my external memory stick (as well as the microSD card within the Raspberry Pi, but still no joy.

I was a little confused by the runcommand/verbose logging suggestion - I thought I had done it but I couldn't then find a log file to check out?

@simotsu I figured it out... After reading this forum a little bit I found that I had it wired incorrectly. So off to the races now!

Hi Simonster,

thanx for your response and sorry for my late reply. I picked up the project now and tried your command lines. I believe they are actually configured the same, but I do not think that is the problem. If I run the jstest /dev/input/js0, I just see multiple randome records on the screen being populated as if the buttons are pressed, but they are not. I removed every player2 connections, and only have the button 8 + gdn connected; now the cmd line still shows btn 8 and btn 7 being pushed eventhough I though nothing. I believe the xm10 panel must be faulty....

@melbmatt50 said in Retropie issues with WiFi setup and Scraper:

Now during startup it asks for a login and password which I would rather it didn't so I want to disable that.

It's enough to login once - after the upgrade - and re-configure auto-login using sudo raspi-config. Unfortunately that's part of Raspbian and it's not under RetroPie's control. See this topic for solutions to this problem.

Secondly I got a 64gb sd card so I could load more stuff on it but etcher won't verify it after burning the image to it and I get the following message during installation on my raspberry pi 3 model b+ Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2). If you can help me I would be grateful. Its a sandisk ultra 64gb class 10 card.

The error seems to indicate badly/imcomplete written image. If the verification doesn't work, maybe the SD card is faulty ?

@mitu

Thanks man!

@mitu said in How do I change NES color palette?:

Can I do that for SNES also?

I don't think that for SNES emulators such a think exists. What are you actually interested in ?

Make the colors more like the real Snes. But maybe I´ll just use a CRT filter of some sort instead :)

Yep, your're right mitu, but when my upgrade pb appears (no autologon), I tried to solve it. Now, I Iknow, I can count on you.

I remove this morning the lightdm and my box is working perfectly.

@all: Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for my english, I'm french ;o) !

@emuchicken Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

open a new topic and provide the information requested.

Well that was stupidly simple, I needed to switch it to PCM. Now the sound is working great!

Yes I do but nothing change

Final Update:

Turns out it was my charger all along . Here is what I ended up doing.

From my Pi3 I run a DC Barrel Jack to Micro-USB B Male Connector (http://a.co/d/4yVdU3c) . Then from the barrel jack I have a normal power supply (http://a.co/d/7j0vMr3) . No voltage issues at all and everything seems fine.

Use the Core input remapping options in RetroArch to re-map your button.

The jagity edge is on any straight line. Thanks so much for the link. I have been trying all sorts of things to get this to look good. Thanks so much. The lines show on front end or in game.

I'm glad you've gotten it sorted out. I started using .conf files to launch Dos games. What I do is enter dosbox command prompt from RetroPie and start the game from there, keeping track of the command I entered. Then I add those to commands to gamename.conf below [autoexec].

I use the games from eXoDOS collection since it uses the "best" version available. It also has a pre-configured *.conf file as well as all the game files pre-installed in it's own folder. You must make sure to change usescancodes=trueto usescancodes=false to make sure input works correctly. Other information will already be set up such as machine type (machine=vga) which can sometimes cause a headache trying to figure out.

Here is an example Star Trek - 25th Anniversary (1992).conf I based the autoexec off of another CD based game-Fallout 1.

[sdl] fullscreen=false fulldouble=false fullresolution=original windowresolution=original output=overlay autolock=true sensitivity=100 waitonerror=true priority=higher,normal mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map usescancodes=false [dosbox] language= machine=vga captures=capture memsize=64 [render] frameskip=0 aspect=true scaler=normal2x [cpu] core=auto cycles=max cycleup=500 cycledown=20 [mixer] nosound=false rate=44100 blocksize=2048 prebuffer=10 [midi] mpu401=intelligent device=default config= [sblaster] sbtype=sb16 sbbase=220 irq=7 dma=1 hdma=5 mixer=true oplmode=auto oplrate=44100 [gus] gus=true gusrate=44100 gusbase=240 irq1=5 irq2=5 dma1=3 dma2=3 ultradir=C:\ULTRASND [speaker] pcspeaker=true pcrate=44100 tandy=auto tandyrate=44100 disney=true [joystick] joysticktype=auto timed=true autofire=false swap34=false buttonwrap=true [serial] serial1=dummy serial2=dummy serial3=disabled serial4=disabled [dos] xms=true ems=true umb=true keyboardlayout=none [ipx] ipx=false [autoexec] MOUNT -u C MOUNT C /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/ c: IMGMOUNT D /st25/cd/Star Trek 25th.cue -t cdrom cd st25 > NUL STARTREK exit

I haven't tried this .conf yet but what I would do if it didn't work would be to try those commands manually and copy over the changes.

Lastly, sometimes entering setup again is all that is need.

@markyh444 you're welcome ;)

@melbmatt50 BIOS files, like ROMs, are copyrighted material so asking for links is strictly prohibited under forum rules.

BIOS files for Intellivision can usually be found in the same location as INTV ROMs but they may not have the name you are expecting. For example, exec.bin may be referred by its full name Executive ROM, The (1978)(Mattel).bin.

For reference, exec.bin, or its alternative name, is 8.2KB in size when unzipped and grom.bin is 2KB. Don't worry about changing the names, the BIOS files should work as they are.

For all info on setting up Intellivision emulators, including where to place the BIOS files, refer to the Docs: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Intellivision/

The BIOS files will not affect the running of any other emulators.
