Got the catver.ini but still romlister shows no roms when I go through the process of creating the xml.
Seems it's not as straight forward as I first thought.

Thanks a lot. I have also tried a lot of configs without any luck, all on 4.3.
I will test with a 4.2 installation.

@robotechvfx I'm sorry, deleting the srm file solved the problem for me. I suggest you to double check that you deleted the actual srm file that your Mario Adventure rom is using, that is, the one with the exact same name.

@mitu pi 3 b

controllers:wired

powersupply:phone charger

retropie:4.3.11

made from: sdcard image

as you can see the 2 controllers are wired are these enough to know my problem
thanks

@xnilesx Please follow the instructions in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and describe your setup.

Looks like the locations where the Selph scraper gets data is incompatible with Emulation Station. In particular progettoemma has video snaps recorded with a codec that almost no device supports. They won't display video in OMX or a PC running windows 10 unless you search around and add a codec pack that happens to have predictive 4:4:4 (I used the free K-Lite 1400 Full). And the text descriptions input in to the gameslist.xml file has tab characters or something embedded in then. I used Notepad++ and made all special characters visible and didn't see anything other than the offending lines indented and showed tab lines. I had to delete them all. Also, the descriptions are rife with escape codes for carriage returns and line feeds ( &#xA) . I just got rid of all special characters and other than the ones for quotes or apostrophes and then manually adjusted each paragraph by hitting enter twice to add my own line feeds where I wanted a new paragraph and cleaned it all up. I then used Handbrake to batch re-encode all of the scraped snaps to the "normal" or "High Profile" preset and turning down quality to 25 to make the files a little smaller (on par with the original sizes).

I have just received my retropie

If you paid, you have been scammed. Download the image from here. Follow the Amiga guide and try again.

There is no fps slider or setting, like in every system. You could control the fps with syncing to monitors refresh rate, that would be the way. If 60 Hz is not possible, it jumps down to 30 Hz, which leads to (hopefully stable) 30 fps. There should be a V-Sync option, which does exactly that, but I don't know more about it. And jumping from 60 Hz to 30 Hz and back is never smooth, so its should stay at 30 Hz / Fps. Maybe there is somewhere a setting for it.

Besides this, if you have some speed and sound issues, look here:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Speed-Issues/
and
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Sound-Issues/

So, basically reduce resolution and some other settings. Maybe your pi is over heating and slowing down. And maybe you want overclocking, but only if you have a cooler. For audio, maybe change audio_driver=sdl (default is alsa). I had this issue too and I think this is what I did too to solve this.

@mitu said in Choose Emulator & Video mode screen menu now bugging?:

To quiesce those messages, either start the script independently (not part of the autostart.sh) or redirect the script's messages to /dev/null:

my_script 2>&1 1>/dev/null &

Thanks, yes i add this to hide the script messages.
And i add the line before emulationstation, like that it works.
I don't understand before that this file output are appearing on the user's terminal.

sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm' python /home/pi/retropie_bgm.py 2>&1 1>/dev/null & emulationstation

Hello everyone,

i have my pi 3 b+ working fine with retropie!

I´ve upgraded my retropie installation on the pi 3 to raspbian stretch with the following instructions:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16145/retropie-upgrading-raspbian-jessie-to-stretch

after that, i put the sd-card in the new pi3 b+ and it looks like everything is working fine!

However , thinking about it a bit more, the higher the voltage and lower the amps, the less the resistance of the cable/fuse causes issues with heating etc, and lower voltage and amps cause higher heating due to resistance,

since polyfuses (according to wikipedia) "trip" from the heat build up during use. The lower voltage and higher amperage would heat it more, thus making it "trip"

If i set "mupen64plus_audio=0", I no longer have any audio. Any ideas?

@druval You can always convert to a single chd file and also save space. Try it with a iso\bin\cue you didn't touch:p

I have said many times that Split and Merged sets are just a quirk of 1990s sneakernet technology but I will have to remember that some folks do prefer formats like that their own merits! It takes all kinds

@darksavior Thanks, I think this might be it, because it freezes right at the playstation logo, I tried finding info in english on it but can't, any suggestions on how I could try find any info on this?

I got it, man im so stupid, i was using PI instead of pi. My god it took me an entire day, thanks for the help guys.

@10vorne scummvm doesnt host data files, they just tell you which files it needs to run, so if the files you have reflect those, throw them in the scummvm rom folder (I usually keep games in their own subfolders) then launch it from the scummvm gui

@mitu said in IPEGA PG-9055 problem:

@svayra Have you read the docs ? There's a whole section dedicated to Controllers, pick one that works for you. I've had no problems with 8bitdo controllers (SN30), Dualshock 4, Wii U Pro.

Thanks
