@BuZz, thanks for the response. turns out that memory was an issue. did think about playing with swap...
all good now though having found the precompiled binary in retropie package script (mcobit suggestion @ discourse.osmc.tv) cheers.

Thanks for the info :-)

@dankcushions Was rather lookin' for some "solved" button? Really, this forum engine is far too confusing for old people. "Terminated" problem? You know what I mean? Does it even makes sense, hahaha? I liked the old forums' engines.

Can you use the other topic perhaps rather than having two topics about input settings ?

On RetroArch it's q and w - but please try and be more specific as RetroPie consists of many components that accept input. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@Lyle_JP the first time this issue was reported (2016-01-09) we realized that RetroArch recently changed the default menu driver to xmb when executing on a Raspberry Pi.

This issue was solved in RetroPie, but since an updating doesn't overwrite the current all/retroarch.cfg, and just creates an retroarch.cfg.rp-dist, I think we'll get some more confused users coming here with this issue after an upgrade soon.

Fortunately you started a topic with a very descriptive title and I hope they use the search engine to get the solution (menu_driver = "rgui").

Could you please mark this topic as solved?

I don't think it's a problem from RetroPie, it's just that when upgrading packages, it's from the latest from Raspbian, so an update probably broke something, when earlier it worked correctly.

update: Steven Selph's Scraper worked great- don't understand why it is not default.

Cheers guys, that did the trick :-)

I'd been looking at the frontend keyboard controls in mame.cfg before.

@BuZz said in Accidentally set select key to 'none' on Mame4pi, can't select anything in TAB menu?:

I have moved it

What problem did you have ? Did you try going to the help / support section and click "New topic" at the top?

Hi Buzz,

I clicked on 'new topic', put in a title and typed out my problem. Help/Support was selected in the drop down box to the right. When I clicked submit it said i needed to create a tag. No matter what tag I created I always got the message along the lines of 'tag does not exist' which also prevented me from submitting my post.

@teller
Right on teller, thanks so much! I was able to get Atari 5200 and vectrex up and running with mess!

I'm curious what systems you have been able to get working? I tried coleco but I can't get anything to start.

One last question if I may. Any idea how to get vectrex overlays to display?

Thanks again for your help!

if you have mapped to keyboard, you will have to either change it so one is mapped to enter, or just use a small wireless keyboard for configuring etc.

This question has had me thinking all afternoon, as it could easily come up while traveling. I was thinking that there must be a way to do this without the forethought to install 'Lynx' ahead of time. After a bit of searching, I found the following at:
https://superuser.com/questions/132392/using-command-line-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-with-an-http-login

You will have to look once at the source of the login form to find out the names of the user and password fields. As the authentication redirect all pages, use any URL to get that source: curl http://www.google.com > login.html For example, you'll find: <form method="POST" action="http://my-public-provider.com/agree.php"> <input type="checkbox" name="agree" value="yes">I agree <input type="submit" name="push" value="Send"> </form> Then you can build your curl command to post your form information: curl -d "agree=yes&push=Send" http://my-public-provider.com/agree.php

@tfpHumorBlog yes I have actually, it's because the joy2key script is configured to use input of js0 by default but my controller was js1
So make sure your joystick is js0 input

I hadn't read the thread in detail, but just checked the site now. Had I seen that before I probably wouldn't have removed the ban.

If you want to be part of the forum/community, I suggest you stop distributing RetroPie with "10,000 games" to your customers.

They are identical

Thanks! It fixed the issue.
But somehow my SNES/NES and Master System scrapes are gone.... no images, not text.

game boy + gba is still there... very strange!
