@mediamogul Thanks all, certainly learning a lot with this wee pi.

A few suggestions

Make sure you have a good power supply. Low power will cause the RPi to throttle down causing all sorts of glitches

If you're using the 3.5mm jack, better get a USB sound card. The 3.5mm is known for it's noisy output.

@Evocati said in [SOLVED]8-Bitdo NES30 Pro "Start/Select" not exiting games:

input_enable_btn = "21"

Im not sure where you got this line but it should be

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "10"

@THRobinson Oh well. It was worth asking. I would be very cautious about using any computer image that has no official source, especially with something as popular as RetroPie has become. For one thing, almost NONE of us have the same hardware configuration, so one size almost never fits all. Also, the work you describe that is already done for you is very likely work that makes the image totally illegal, violating all kinds of software licenses if not copyrights. If someone is willing to create, then post an image with ROMs on it, or with emulators downloaded and preconfigured where the license doesn't allow that, it isn't doing RetroPie any favors which is another reason folks are going to be reluctant to offer help.

@rbaker It quickly starts to feel like a lost cause. You ask for more detail, you give them the link to where there is an actual list of things that we need in order to help, and it is obvious there is no effort. Folks are still willing to help, but I understand the frustration that @herb_fargus and @BuZz must feel over the years--four posts after I asked for details and still none. I think I am out.

@TMNTturtlguy I just started the source update, i'll tell you how it goes when finished.

@BuZz
That would be awsome.
Anyway, thanks for the fast replies.

@epd .ecm is not supported. see the documentation for supported formats: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Playstation-1

@DarkWolf many thanks to you

@oxytocin You did install the Amiga Emulator?

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I figured there was a decent chance I'd need to reinstall... I shut Retropie down through the emulationstation menu, but I'll have to make sure I'm waiting long enough before unplugging. I have had to hard shut it off several times when games have hung, but that was rare.

If you are using NVIDIA Drivers and the NVIDIA Experience thingy you can use your pi as a NVIDIA Shield device and stream content from your pc. There is a working implementation for raspbian.

Moonlight: https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded
You could read this for implementing into RetroPie: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1082

I guess limelight is something similar, but I don't reale know that

Make sure the roms have the correct file extensions The hub could defenitely be a reason for this.
You could try a hub with a own power supply...

@jepperi well, this is going to be tough because you don't describe exactly where you installed your roms in the first place, nor how you are using what you call a "raspberry stick". It sounds like you were trying to use USB ROM service, maybe. You need to start over and really describe your setup (see the link at the top of these pages) and explain exactly what you did (with directory paths etc.)

Also, please do some research with the Docs link above. The arcade section shows you all of the directories where emulation station is looking for roms for each emulator. The answers are right there. I shouldn't have to even write this.

@thellin1 no problem. Glad its all working for you.

@Darksavior OK. Looks like they have now packaged 4.9.x - I hadn't realised sorry. I can only recommend you don't update the kernel for now then, as the gamecon driver is not yet compatible with 4.9 and I don't have time right now to look into it. (3rd party package so will need an upstream fix).
