@jlvandusen what do you mean it was ignored? Are you certain you have the right index number?

@capninja You're now dropped to a shell where you can execute commands as root. The # is the command line shell prompt. The usb keyboard problem could be because the USB drivers are not initialized in safe-mode.
I think that the safest option is to re-install. There's too much fiddling with the CLI and it will be safer. Even if you managed to recover the sudo functionality, there's a high chance something else is broken and normal operations would not work.

@edmaul69 Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

Im new with retropie and googled my way through the setup i have now, so i have to really think about what u have just said and understand it :)

But before i try your suggestion, isnt their a way to manually scrape it? because i also have a pack of famicom video snaps and box art.

@rc_cola
Once when I experienced problems with cd tracks on psx games, I experimented with different audio drivers. If you dig more and search the web, you will find some different opinions. I think one of the audio driver will synchronize with video and if you get frame drops or anything else can't keep it up, then audio starts to stutter. Changing the driver did resolve this problem, if i remember right. The audio wasn't no longer synchronized, but it sounded without problems and I couldn't tell anything wrong with it. It was only happening with cd tracks. So, in short, this could be one of the tradeoffs. I have no more details about this, sorry.

Btw, you may find more information if you search about these topics in generell, like sdl vs alsa. These are common in Linux. And just in case you missed this page:

@gohakn - Did you ever find a solution to this... getting this down would be awesome because I too have a very complex joystick (ipac2 with spinner, 2x 8way, 1x 4way and a trackball... getting this ability is essential for ikari warriors, guerilla warfare and discs of tron etc.

I will try that ASAP

@mitu Thanks.

I will give this a try and report back tomorrow as it is getting late here.

gotcha. let me refresh ans use that image. thanks for the feedback.

Have a small update. I have verified that HDMI output works. Something is going on with how the LCD screen on my Freeplay Zero handles the resolution of the emulator. I wanted to see if I could change it in the emulator, but there are no options for resolution. :/

@roken Try adding these lines to /boot/config.txt

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2

Hi.

I am on v4.4 and got it by getting downloading the image onto my sd card.

I am new on these forums and am a new very pleased Retropie user. But I too have the same problem and I solved it just by unplugging and replugging the controller.

Yes. I have it set up with a Wiimote and a Dolphinbar. You plug the Dolphinbar into the first USB port (top left), which is the Player 1 slot. Set the DolphinBar to Mode 2 and sync the Wiimote with the Dolphinbar (you have to press the Sync button on both at the same time). That's pretty much it.

As for the games, the majority of the gun games I have are arcade games (Lethal Enforcers, Operation Wolf, etc), and just to separate everything from my regular arcade sets (Mame4All, FBA), I put all of my gun games into the Arcade folder, and set the default emulator for every game in that folder to AdvMame 1.4 (If you don't have it on your setup you may have to install it from the RetroPie menu). There is also now support for NES (Duck Hunt, etc), just make sure you have the default emulator for the gun games set to the lr-fceumm emulator, since it won't work in nestopia. Sadly, there is no console support for SMS or Genesis/Megadrive yet, as far as I know. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@berserkerbx23 said in Gamepad configuration screen at startup freezes.:

now do I need to update or do anything else to it?

Sure, you can update and get the latest versions of everything.

@mitu - I was able to use mame4all which sees that roller correctly - very confusing how the retroarch cfg works..
Example:
To see the spinner for arkanoid I had to switch to mame4all and looking at the input shows J1 RetroPad -X and +X for the controls... I don't know how to map that here as the spinner doesn't provide anything like that in the mame config (tab) and when I edit the .cfg file I tried adding the following:
input_player1_left_axis = "-0"
input_player1_right_axis ="+0"

with no luck... still unable to get the spinner working - howbeit the trackball works out of the box with mame4all.... lol

Somebody needs to write up a config walkthrough for retroarch and that joystick system... greatly.

@headrush69

Goes through some benchmarks

@zeotherm said in Unable to launch RGUI for core input remapping in a certain game:

One day I may look into getting a better ROM set.

It's not that you really need a "better" ROM set, it's that you need the specific ROM set intended for the emulator that you're using. pifba might get you up and running in this one case and even a few more out of sheer coincidence, but with all the games that these arcade emulators support, you're going to run into incompatibilities pretty often without coordinating the ROM set versions to the right emulation software.

@ramospa I have NO idea how I originally missed this post, but just wanted to update this to reflect that these instructions worked perfectly for me. It seems that after all this time, the cheats found on the Reddit thread in the OP were the right one, they just had to be entered in a format familiar to Retroarch. I found it easier to store the cheat file in /home/pi/RetroPie/cheats, but otherwise, 10/10, BRB playing this game at last!

You can force a certain resolution in the /boot/config.txt. See Video issues in the docs.

If you need help with this, which resolution do you want to set?

Also, showing us your /boot/config.txt in a code block might help us helping you. See the Markdown reference how to make one.
