I guess I'll need to experiment.

Your best source of information on this will be on the actual Hatari information pages, as it's the same emulator running here. If you get it going, report back and either you or I can add it to the RetroPie wiki.

@Danorak1981 I actually made my own google doc of the steps necessary without game links.

If you need help still hit me up.

I see, thanks for the help! I do wonder why basic install seems to goof it though.

When you start a rom and when in game press select + x and look at what driver it uses for audio. I had the same problem with some of the emulators after updating everything. For some the driver for audio was changed from sdl2 to alsathread. I didn't have sound and got the above mentioned underun error.

It needs to be sdl2.

Hope it helps.

@Xerox_Boxington I just installed the desktop under Ports...

First two half-assed attempts failed for me. It was like when i updated the pixel packages and/or installed the package, it would halt, and then give me some msg about connection being lost. So i upped the game and tried some different stuff, and i have no idea as to which of the steps actually solved the problem, but i can tell you what i did, at least :)

I did a clean reboot, this time not pairing my PS3 bluetooth controllers, so only my wireless keyb/mouse.

Used keyboard to 'exit emulationstation', so my Pi was in the terminal state.

Then i went to my PC, connected to the Pi through Putty and did the rest of the steps from there.

First i updated the retropie-setup script successfully, then i updated the Pixel package successfully. You will not have doubt when it works; it will continuously write Linux'ish stuff to the screen about packages being downloaded, updated, unpacked, installed and what not. This will take a while. Keep a look at this, to make sure it goes smooth and there are no error msgs.

After that, i could install the Pixel package (still doing this from the PC through Putty with my Pi in the terminal screen).

When it was all done, i tried to type in 'startx' which it tell you to do in the tutorial that you linked, but i just got errormessages that it was no good... anyways, i did a 'sudo reboot', went to the orts menu, selected 'desktop' and my Linux desktop booted right up. VERY sexy :)

So, all this might be awfully clumsy considering that i still have very little knowledge about Linux and the RetroPie stuff, but i am sure that you can reproduce the steps and end up with a desktop too :)

On a sidenote, the Pi and RetroPie keeps on amazing me! If it was't for your initial post, i had never imagined that this could be done, so thank you :) Now i have a cool Linux PC + a badass emulation hub all in one sexy little package!

In order to help you, you'll need to supply the information requested below.

@Mif different emulators are included depending on the platform, version of pi, etc. And it changes from time to time as well. Not really as simple to catalogue.

Easiest way to tell if it isn't included is if you don't see it when you go to add roms ;)

ok.. yes the /Retropie/roms directories is a "clone" of the USB stick... if ther are file links then I understand its only a pointer to the USB stick... was just strange that it didn't display links.

worse case as digi321 said, i'll just use another directory name.

thanks for the help.

All sorted guys.

All what I was trying just didn't work but this did.

http://superuser.com/questions/989385/how-to-make-raspberry-pi-use-an-external-usb-sound-card-as-a-default

Open /lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf

Add the lines

options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_bcm2835 index=1
options snd slots=snd_usb_audio,snd_bcm2835

Ctl + X and it did save.

Thanks all for the help.

@BuZz
Sorry I am new to this.

Well, you know that I think it would be great! And needed😀

Got it, thanks!

I'm having this problem as well. I tried what was suggested a couple of months ago by @BuZz
It might have something to do with my USB Soundcard which is this one: USB Soundcard
It works with games in both Attract Mode and Emulationstation though.

@Proceus Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

please provide the runcommand log, example filename that failed etc.

@josete2k BTW it's enough to just do update all installed packages. Maybe you have some wrong settings - but I cannot advise without more information - you should start a new topic for specific emulator issues providing details about setup / emulator in use and so on .

That is the way to go forward - I cannot help on an older unsupported version.

I was under the same impression, but it seems to work now. I'm using the latest lr-mame2003, compiled from source, and tappera.zip as the ROM.

In the past I believe the controls didn't work, but now they seem to work. Maybe it is related to some of the changes from December?

Yeah, I had already checked my IP address and it hasn't changed.

I did manage to connect though. I rebooted my PC, router, and gigabit switch and somewhere in there everything corrected itself. So I'm all set now, thanks!

@mfreshwater the sd card is 64GB and I installed retropie from the official website and extracted the files and reformatted the SD card.
