    @mitu

    Thanks a lot for the guidance, that does it.
    The line for the added pseudo emulator is mame %BASENAME% -ror

    I just have to do the setting for all of the vertical games.
    Thanks again for the help provided in this forum.

    @sleve_mcdichael Yes.

    For example ./retropie_packages.sh image all buster would build rpi1, rpi2/3 and rpi4 images based on buster.

    @chicoputo cool to see this helped someone else, somthing additional that might be be helpful.

    if you re-map the controls you need to reapply the fix.

    not sure what but somthing happens that causes it to default back to error state

    Thanks mitu - I didn't know about the es_input.cfg file. That's what I was looking for. My inputs don't overlap between the two boards, so I thought I'd be able to edit that file manually and create something that allowed for more than one player to control ES UI, but I couldn't get it to work. Not a big deal - player one controls the ES UI. As far as I can tell, using four players across all the boards works in the retroarch.cfg files for each platform and that's what really matters. Thanks for your help.

    @RetroMalina said in Pi 3B+ Peak Performance.:

    My question is, Can a Retropie 3B+ run N64 games stably

    Not really. Some N64 titles don't run well (or at all), even on a Pi4.

    @Craine N64 games do not always run very well even on an RPi4. It's really asking a lot for an RPi3. Try one of the stand-alone (non-libretro) Mupen64plus emulators -- gliden64 or gles2rice are the ones I use (on RPi4 though).

    There's also a PSX version of the game, you could maybe try that if the N64 won't run well on any emulator. PSX tends to run better than N64 in general, even on RPi3.

    Should be fixed now.
    We don't support Dolphin on RPI (the system is not powerful enough to run it) and also RasPi OS bullseye support is still in beta.

    Hi,
    I am new to retropie, but I was able to run in on raspbian bullseye. I am running rpi4 as a HTPC and audio player. It is not option for me to use pre-made images of retropie as I do not want to install and configure again all services already running on my pi.

    So I just gave it a try. I have followed the manual installation steps. First run of retropie_setup.sh ended with errors that quite many deb packages cannot be found or installed. I am not sure why because I could found and install almost all those packages manually using aptitude. Well my system was not fully updated, so maybe that could be the reason.

    One more execution of retropie_setup.sh complained about missing omxplayer package. That package is no more part of raspbian but I have succeeded to find it in some raspbian repo: https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/o/omxplayer/omxplayer_20190723+gitf543a0d-1+bullseye_armhf.deb So I have installed it. I have no idea whether the omxplayer works. What I have read about it, it should not work on bullseye. But retropie_setup.sh was happy with it and compiled the EmulationStation.

    Now it is complaining about missing ilclient.hand it cannot build omxiv. Although I have found some sources with the ilclient I even did not give it a try installing them. They wrote it will not work on Bullseye and I even do not know what is the omxiv good for and whether I need it.

    Today I was able to run EmulationStation. Well it was quite surprise for me that it works :-). But kids was able to play some old nintendo games, so I am happy :-).

    @giandeejay I've been using vulkan on my pi4 64bit bullseye (which uses KMS by default) setup for a while. I only use Retroarch emulators for its crt shaders but I've only noticed better performance with lr-flycast. lr-swanstation (duckstation), and lr-beetle-psx all perform worse than the software renderer. GL renderer was faster in lr-ppsspp. I haven't tried the n64 emulators.

    It's possible to add and change rompaths in the runcommand loader.

    This is a full example from what is installed with my module-script :

    lr-mame-basename = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg --appendconfig /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg.basename -S /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade -v -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame/mamearcade_libretro.so 'mame -cfg_directory /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/lr-mame -c -ui_active -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame;/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/ '%BASENAME%''"

    You probably can use parts from above runcommand to add the rompaths to your runcommand.
    I would focus on this part :

    'mame -cfg_directory /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/lr-mame -c -ui_active -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame;/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/ '%BASENAME%''

    Or you can use my project and ,depending on what you install, use the rompaths that are generated for the specific system or category.

    Edit:
    Also read this for using commandline options :
    https://docs.mamedev.org/commandline/commandline-all.html

    I don't think you'll be able to use Ubuntu 16 to install RetroPie, even if you check out the 4.5.1 version - most of the packages will not work with that old Ubuntu version.
    You can try installing the current Debian release or a more recent (18.04) Ubuntu version and install RetroPie as explained in the docs.

    @intergala The best way I found of doing this was to open the "Themes" folder in the MAIN .emulationstation folder (Best done on a PC really). This will give access to all the subfolders that are themes available on my PC it looks like this

    themesfold.jpg

    Next open the Themes folder that closely matches what you are looking for eg Simple theme, and you will get a list of systems available, at the end will be a XML file called theme. Right click on this and Open with a program such as Notepad. You should get something akin to this;

    basicsetup.jpg

    This is the main program for controlling what you see on the screen. But EACH system has it's OWN theme, and this progam links to those systems. Which means you have to have a "theme" file in each system you want to show.

    My theme I am working on for MAME, looks like this in code.

    egmame.jpg

    and like this in emulationstation

    frankie.jpg

    The best thing to do is just mess about a bit and see what happens. Hope it helps, oh and also the documents on the site on creating your own theme are brilliant!

    So I've copied the 5 zip files from mame2010

    outrunb.zip outrundx.zip outruno.zip outrunra.zip outrun.zip

    with just outrun.zip extracted I get the message:

    cannot open rom: epr-10381a.132

    managed to get all the files from all those zips and then get "illegal instruction"
