    Thanks for the reply. I tried editing /etc/default/console-setup and changed ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty1" but I can still switch to tty2,3, and 6 by pressing the corresponding Fn keys while holding alt. Tty4 and tty5 seem to be disabled, so maybe I'm missing something and the other 3 are being activated at login?

    I also edited NAutoVTs=1 in my systemd logind.conf, but this also hasn't stopped the additional TTYs from appearing.

    [UPDATE]
    Had a feeling the TTYs still active were being started somewhere at boot. Checked my /boot/cmdline.txt and changed console=tty3 to console=tty1 and now Alt+F3 is disabled!

    Still need to disable Alt+F2 and Alt+F6. Any suggestions are appreciated!

    @aditkrator Can you check my update in the other topic to see if the workaround I posted there works for you also ?

    @rbaker : I don't think that's likely to help - of all the components involved in this problem, Win32DiskImager is probably the one that can be most relied on.

    @BigBoss : Does Win32DiskImager report that it has successfully written to the card?
    If so, are you then able to see two new drives in Explorer (maybe E: and F:)?
    If so, you should be able to access one of them, but not the other.
    A Yes to all of the above would suggest that the SD card is probably ok, although it would still be useful if you had a second card that you could test with.

    If you put the SD card in the Pi and switch it on, do you only see the red LED lighting? Does the green LED light at all?
    If you're not seeing the green LED, that suggests that the Pi is not even trying to read from the card, and you would need to check things like whether your power supply is delivering enough current.

    @mitu

    The only setting which might be related to the joypad is input_joypad_driver, which is by default udev. You can try re-adding back the file, then changing this to sdl2 and see if this fixes the mapping.

    Yeah, I tried that. Didn't change anything.

    I've decided to just restore my RetroPie install from a backup and avoid the Xpad driver update for the time being. I was able to update everything else individually without issue.

    Thank you for your time and I apologize for not seeing this through to end.

    @darishzone The gamelist XML file format is really straightforward and easy to read and edit. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you're editing the files from a PC, I recommend using Notepad++ for this.

    @lonelik said in Can you naviguate in retropie shell menus with a joystick ?:

    Maybe the keyboard is my js0...

    You can check which device is mapped to js0 with this command in Retropies text console that you land in after pressing F4 in Emulation Station:

    jstest /dev/input/js0

    Ctrl + c aborts jstest.

    Alternatively, this should list all input devices of the system:

    (I say "should", because I am not at home at the moment and can't test the command on my own Retropie. It works on my Laptop's Kubuntu Linux, though.)

    less /proc/bus/input/devices

    You can browse the list with your cursor keys or PgUp/PgDown. Exit the browser with Ctrl + c.

    You get back to Emulation Station with the command exit.

    @neo-rio said in Help needed: VICE x64 and xvic folder separation possible?:

    Any chance of finally getting some more formal support for the other VICE 8-bit systems in Retropie?

    Is there any reason why the other systems have mostly been ignored?

    Some of us are vic20, plus 4 fans too

    They are?

    I created individual entries in the systems, pointed them to the appropriate folders for C16+4, Vic 20, Pet.

    When launching one of the files, press the config button, launch with the correct version of Vice.

    @skiierfox86 That's not a reason to start new topics, you can just add to your existing topic and ask for specific directions from where you stopped. Did you follow the steps in the documentation ? What exactly doesn't work ?

    @neonjuggalo Use the RetroArch menu and - after making the adjustments you need - choose to save the Core (or Game) remap file (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping).

    i think i see the problem and it might just be the refreshrates, when in emulationstation after boot,
    Putty Display
    but hitting a button before kodi loads,
    Waveshare LCD Display

    Sorry for the larger second image, took it w/ my phone. so the problem might be its setting an invalid 30hz refreshrate that this display cannot handle.

    ok, somethinsg dodgy... on loading Kodi, i'm whitescreen as per usual, But putty shows still
    alt text
    and it recovers after awhile, but the moment i press a button. pfft! Whitescreen.

    Edit:
    ok lastnight which i forgot to post before passin out.. Reicast had teh same problem but it was setting an independent Render resolution, which was fixed by editing the emu.cfg this has me thinking either Kodi's setting a bad pixelclock/setting an independent resolution which the force options in config.txt dont do didly Squat.

    Just to give this thread and all you guys some closure, I have not experienced any slowdown on PS1 games since installing Retropie 4.4 from scratch. Perhaps it's the new version, perhaps it was some tinkering I had done and that has now been erased. I did notice that PS1 games tend to slow down on my Pi2 when enabling enhanced resolution, either with or without the speed hack. I have not yet tampered with the overclock settings and I'm not sure if I should, since it's a Pi2... Otherwise I'll simply stick with the bilinear filtering option, which slightly improves graphics, and wait for the Pi4.

    @microb41 According to the Raspberrypi website, there is a pixel clock limit, ie effectively a limit to the number of pixels that can be controlled, of 1920x1200@60 Hz, so as your resolution exceeds that, it shouldn't work

    You can set higher resolutions, in config.txt, but they won't work.

    https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md

    Further down on the same page, it shows you how to create a custom screen resolution, so it would be worth you looking at that to get the aspect ratio you want.

    Unfortunately, it's useless as there's no ability to save which is the reason I hadn't submitted my version of this months ago. I was waiting for libretro to fix it.

    @oldschool84 I'm not sure I understand exactly what your issue is. Are you trying to configure an N64 controller?
