How do you install blobby volley?
I tried to search "blobby" in install package,
but I can't find it.

Can you help me?

Thanks.

@renario910 said in Retropie on ubuntu is broken.:

so how do i edit sources.list?

from a terminal, type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

but i think it's also important to familiarize yourself with some basic unix/linux concepts, since this is turning into more of an Ubuntu support thread.

Think I may have been a bit dim - I was originally adding extra inputs and it didn't do anything, I've since overwrote all of them and it is reading the input now. Thanks for your help folks.

Good news,

After i update my system yesterday the fight-stick suddenly was recognized by pi and i was able to configure it.

Problem solved.

@hailtostarscream If you wish to create a custom version of a theme, then you can create a copy of the theme folder from /etc/emulationstation/themes/ into /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes/. The themes folder may need to be created.

Alternatively, you can download the theme from the relevant Github repo and place it in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes/. For example, the snes mini theme can be found at https://github.com/ruckage/es-theme-snes-mini.

@clyde Will give it a try when I have time

@smurf said in Daphne command line not working:

I have lots of space on my sd card so I have a couple versions of each game.

You don't even need the .m2v file in each folder for different rom versions of the same game. Just point the path in the [gamename].txt file to the folder where the .m2v resides. For example, my lair.m2v resides in daphne/lair.daphne, but I also have dle21 in its own directory daphne/dle21.daphne.

My lair.txt in daphne/lair.daphne/:

. 151 lair.m2v

My dle.txt in daphne/dle21.daphne/:

../lair.daphne/ 151 lair.m2v

Mind the first line. In lair.txt, it points to "this directory" (.), but in dle.txt it points to lair.daphne "one level above this directory" (..), both paths seen relatively from the location of the respective .txt file. Since both rom versions use the same video file, this saves a lot of space.

Alternatively, you could create a symbolic link to the file in the other directory:

ln -s /home/pi//RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair.daphne/lair.m2v /home/pi//RetroPie/roms/daphne/dle.daphne/lair.m2v

The first method has the advantage that it still works even if the daphne directory is moved to another location, as long as lair.daphne and dle21.daphne remain at the same relative positions to each other.

Yeah I know, you said that you have lots of space, but maybe that will change in the future with an ever growing games collection, or others here will find this useful. :)

There is no fixed folder for the actual image of the overlay. Libretro cores require the overlay image + 2 cfg files (one of these cfg must be in the same folder of correspoding rom).
Example (and overlays) here.

I did some googling and found a (probably unsupported, but still) Python script:

https://github.com/dillbyrne/es-cec-input

I tried it, it worked, when I started it manually. There's noticeable input-lag, compared to the Kodi implementation, no way that would be useable in a game, but it does the job. Unfortunatelly, I couldn't make it reboot-proof, the @reboot statement in crontab worked, the script was running according to ps, but it did not work. Even more, running it via crontab resulted it in Kodi no longer accepting CEC input either. So I removed it from crontab and am no longer using it.

Is there anyone around here with experience with that or a similar script?

Thanks!

This absolutely worked no problems to fix the permissions errors as a permanent solution. Thanks very much! The dragonrise controllers work for me now including save/load and exit shortcuts! :) amazing advice thanks guys

@mitu wow it worked! thank you so, so much!

@cacrlhungus74 Sure, we'll keep an eye out for it. If you want to send over any of the other logs from your pi when you have the chance, please do so and I'll gladly take a look. Do trim syslog to have data for only the specific day/session of the issue - no need to send me all the historic logs from your pi :)

In regards to reinstalling, you're referring to the ubuntu one, right?

If you'd have a spare SD card lying around, and would want to do the same from a fresh RetroPie 4.4 image with no updates and see how it goes, that could help as well.

Thanks!

@herb_fargus That's what I was thinking.. an overclock that won't run on his pi, since every pi is different. Or using different controllers with a driver enabled that is interfering with the controller he is using.

@TommyEllas What controllers are you and your friend using ?

@annomatik

You can use xboxdrv or linuxjoystickmapper. I'm emulating 32 different systems and I have all of them set to exit with 'Select'+'Start'.

@sekrit

The location has since changed to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/name-of-your-controller.cfg

@cyperghost Awesome thank you! I will definitely go with your solution!

I have this exact same problem months later, was this ever resolved?

When I do that, jumping with "up" does no longer work, but jumping with "B" doesn't either...

Can I some how check, which buttons RetroArch thinks that I am using?

Pi is very demanding on the power supply.
If the voltage is below 5.2V, turbo mode is disabled
PI will operate at a reduced frequency in throttling mode.
Some SNES games, even on an optimized driver under the SNES2002 AWS, will slow down.

avoid warnings=2 fixit problem

Nevermind solved the issue.
