Forget it. Got it. Rebooting let me get into emulation station. Oddly keyboard would not work until after I set up a usb game pad. All set thx.

@dlawrence529 A name is just a name, nothing more. Glad you got it sorted out.

@matalog I'm not very firm in python.
But take a look to this link
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LowPowerLab/ATX-Raspi/master/shutdownchecksetup.sh

and to this link
https://lowpowerlab.com/guide/atxraspi/assembly-install/

shows how to use a timer to differ button event between shutdown and reboot in accordance of button press time. I think that is your demand....

@retroprogrammer XD thanks. It is actually pretty fast. So ill keep trying things. Thanks tho!

For information, I formatted my root partition with F2FS more than a year ago, and never had a corruption since.
The main drawback is that it's more difficult to resize ATM than ext4 or xfs.

@timothyjbrick That's because ES uses SDL to talk to the joystick. See https://github.com/meleu/jstest-sdl for testing using the SDL library, it's similar to jstest, but through the SDL joystick mapping.

@captainobi You didn't as it specifically asks to provide certain information which you haven't done (see the section regarding specs / image / emulator etc).

@buzz Sorry about that, Buzz. I'll post a new topic for it.

nope, sorry: the link mentions using the tag <thumbnail> but it doesnt work.
Use the usual <image>, and it does the trick!!!

The input configuration for Mupen64Plus is kept separate - this is documented at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/. Look for the sample configurations, there is one even for the N64 usb controller.

@dankcushions thanks a lot I managed to re install it and sort out the GUI it looks much more uniform now :)

@arcade said in Emulating n64/psx on netbook:

So the fact that I'm running 32bit retropie with a 64bit OS is irrevelant

Yes, as far as performance is involved. You'll not get a considerable boost from running an x64 system.
Experiment with the games you'd like to run and see how well they run, but even on more powerful machines N64 emulation is not perfect, so don't expect miracles here.

got it

hdmi_mode=82 1080p 60Hz

fixed

Does anyone have any further suggestions before I give up on this?

Along with the information requested there, what part of the Netplay documentation seems outdated?

@skepticalgeel CHD or compressed hunks of data (or compressed hard disk depending on who you are talking to) started with MAME..sorta speak...

If you have the mame package from the website there you have the tools to compress them. You might want to use a GUI program to make it easier. QMC2 has one.

You will need to compress each bin/iso individually. That is one iso (bin/cue..ect..) one chd file. They are much smaller even smaller than a psx .bpb format and no cue/bin or cue/iso ect needed.

Good luck! :D

Had to use a image of a previous backup i made since i couldn't find out where the problem is.

The most i got was that it was something in the configs folder, don't know what.

@mitu I am playing Street Fighter III : 3rd Strike(fb alpha)this ROM does not have a chd but I was trying another rom that used a chd and after I deleted some chd's the ROM got from glitchy to a black background.
