If anyone else has this issue, when booting up and remain in the "Welcome, no gamepads detected" I get constant 2.4MBps with absolutely no failure, found this by accident. In other menus I get from 0 to 1.0 with constant fails.

If you want only certain games to be rotated, then you can use a per-ROM configuration override to rotate the screen when playing them, without rotating the whole display via config.txt.
This only works for RetroArch - see more details here.

@GeekOB That's good news ! Thanks for the follow-up.

@grant2258
it's the built-in controller for the Retroflag GPi case (http://retroflag.com/GPi-CASE.html) - i think it's connected like a USB gamepad, though i'm not sure.

thanks

@SpudsMcToole - I believe it should be there even on older versions. I don't mind giving you hand if it helps. As of late I have a little extra time due heterogeneous world events.

On your ES carousel there should be a stylized RetroPie logo as one of the selectable systems. Basically the same as selecting an emulator/core.

Then select RetroPie Setup -> Update RetroPie-Setup script. This should update your script to the current version.

Then select Manage packages -> Manage Core Packages.

Under Manage Core Packages select Emulationstation (Installed). From there you have the options to Udpate From Binary or Update From Source.

The wording might be slightly different and I left out the number options as they do seem to change occasionally but it should be generally the correct steps to get ES updated.

@Gnomx said in Raspberrypi zero !WH:

I think MK is ok for my purpose , but it's just for RPi 2th gen ,right?

No, it applies to any models after the 2 - the 1st model had less GPIO pins available.

SO as Capeman says , im gonna install ADAFRUIT RETROGAME , i should use existing pinout , or can use all pin on board?

I'm not sure, you should check the RetroGame's schematics, they might have a preferred wiring schema.

Next,if I'm on old Rp0 without wifi connection , is it possible make an offline install?

It depends on what packages you already have installed, but you can connect the PI Zero to the internet using a microUSB cable to your PC and configuring USB/Ethernet gadget mode (https://www.circuitbasics.com/raspberry-pi-zero-ethernet-gadget/).

@Impman66 said in Is WinSCP or Putty necessary?:

So it begs the question, is WinSCP, Putty, or any other "file sharing" program necessary?

no, there are 3 supported methods of copying roms, and you're simply using the third: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#samba-shares

Man, i love the concept. I'd like to have his Theme, too.

Try this.

It's similar, but I don't think it's the right one. You can see the graphic for Favorites is different. (The one in the NFC video has a Donkey Kong Country font for Favorites, whereas the github screenshot shows a Zelda type of graphic for favorites.) I installed your recommended theme, but it appear to be totally broken for me. (This may be due to my 4:3 screen. About to test on widescreen setup.)

The part of the theme that grabbed my attention was the CRT tv image in the game list. My OrangePi has a similar kind of theme and I like it very much.

EDIT - YEah, it's definitely not the same. I got it running properly and can see for sure. The System list is very similar, but the game lists are completely different. Thanks for trying, @mitu

@OneSwitch I just came across your thread on Gorf here. Gorf was one of my grail type games that I was never able to get to run right. It never made sense as to why it was so slow, but seemed to slow way down on the Galaxian level when there was a lot of sound. I copied your plan with mame2010 and lo and behold there she goes! I have it running on my Mad Planets cab (build thread posted last year), so I have the trigger stick and everything.

From what I remember of the actual game, it was a little bit sticky. You might think you still have a performance issue but I think the game was never all that smooth. The mame2010 emulation feels totally accurate.

So thank you for figuring that out, it checks a huge box for my collection!

@Xaviosjm Además, este hilo tiene 3 años, es mejor comenzar uno nuevo con los detalles solicitados

@mitu Yeah I tried that and it still didn't pickup the controllers

Yesterday i installed the newest image of retropie.

Which image is that ? The PI4 is not supported by the official image.

After that i plugged it in on my 4k LG TV with a Micro-HDMI cable.

Which HDMI port have you used ? The Pi4B has two of them, it's recommended you use the 'primary' port, the one next to the USB-C power.

@mitu Thanks to another thread of yours I have found the solution.
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17492/retropie-4-4-and-tronsmart-mars-g02-with-wireless-dongle-problem

The issue was that the controller by default comes recognized as a X mode (Xbox), I had to change it to D-mode (Android) by pressing 5 seconds the button home. After that joydev inmediately recognized it as Sharwan model.

Once again, thaks a lot for your help.

a piece of the conquest image is missing. The game is properly centered so I can't touch it.!

@jrb it's a pi 3b+ running v4.5.1
I've used an off brand N64 USB controller, a PS4 controller, and an 8bitdo sn30, all wired.

@mitu Thanks, but I had to re image the sd card and now everything is back to normal, just can't see my retropie in my network

@Ternous So, did you get 2 different splashscreens to show up or just one (for both ports) ?

Please add more info about your system's setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Please note that we don't support 3rd party images - like the one you mentioned.

The usbromservice is the last one in the Optional section (sorry, it's not in the core packages).

If you Raspberry Pi is connected to your network, you can easily transfer ROMs via file shares from your mac, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#samba-shares, you don't need an USB drive.
