@bobharris Hi. first, I updated to 4.4 and played around with retroarch shader options. Now, I use crt-pi or waterfall shader with megadrive emulator and I'm satisfied with it. I tried setup a retroarch hotkey [SELECT + DPAD up / down] with my PS3 Dualshock Controller for shader next and shader prev option but it doesnt work. Does anyone know the right hotswitch entry for retroarch.conf

pi@raspberrypi:/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive $ grep input_shader_next *
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next = "m"
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next_btn = "0"
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next_axis = "nul"
retroarch.cfg:input_shader_next_mbtn = "nul"

Hello, sorry to reply to a very old topic, but I've finally found a nice 1080p scanlines config fro VICE.

Enable CRT emulation

set the following color controls

gamma 3000 tint 1000 saturation 1310 contrast 1210 brightness 1000

set the following CRT emulation config

scanline shade 730 blur 500 oddline phase 1240 oddline offset 840

Enjoy, but please be aware that without overclocking your Pi3 you will not get 50FPS with CRT emulation turned on

@pyr0cide Just leave the exports on the server

/volume1/roms 192.168.1.*(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash)

And make sure you use the proper case when referring to the share name, i.e. not mixing upper-case with lower-case

mount -t nfs -o vers=3 192.168.1.6:/volume1/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

@mitu OK. I tried what you suggested and paired it with my Windows PC first. It paired right up without any issues. I then moved to the Pi. Before I started pairing with it again, I first removed the 8bitdo Bluetooth controller, updated to Retropie v 4.4 and then rebooted. This time it recognized it and paired up with it without issue but just like the first time I got it to successfully pair up, it didn't seem like any of the buttons would work when I went to configure them.

When I go back to check Registered/Connected Bluetooth Devices, it shows the Quadstick is registered and gives its MAC number but doesn't list it as active in active connections.

If it is registered and connected, and I'm trying to configure the inputs, should it not be active? Or does it not become active until after the inputs are set?

I went through controller setup again. This time I made the XBox button my Hotkey. Now I can start games by pressing Start and Right Trigger and I can exit a game to the main menu by pressing XBox button and Start. The Start button by itself, however, does nothing.

I should mention that the Start button works by itself flawlessly as you would expect from within Emulation Station to bring up the main menu. It's only within the actual games themselves that I have to use the weird Start/Right Trigger combination.

Any ideas?

@mitu Hey I wanted you to know that when I checked for updates earlier today it went smoothly.

@mitu @davidgrohl
Thank you guys! Unfortunately I have already ported from scatch

@mitu - Thanks for the link. I added the system environment variables mentioned in the ARCH wiki and verified the were set and showed up using vainfo. VLC itself still was accelerated (~30% CPU), emulationstation was still not @~165% cpu

@Tephra If using Win32diskImager unzip as @quicksilver mentioned, or if using Etcher you can flash the image directly to the sd card.

@mitu good look fam.

This is the power supply that I'm using with my pi3, I am also using the super kintaro case. I have had no issues with this power supply and I'm overclocked.

Just an update to reclaim my thread. ;)

This has been working just fine for me. Haven't seen a lightning bolt since I started using it. Only hardwired 3A cables for me from now on. Thank you all for your suggestions. :)

@pi-mania
I figure it had to go that way...I just wasn't so sure it was that I guess I needed opinion from somebody thanks alot

@taunnt Does /dev/shm/runcommand.log contain anything after running daphne? If so, please show it to us in a command block.

Mind that /dev/shm is a ram disk, so it will lose all contents on shutdown or reboot.

We all miss things. That’s why being on this forum is great. If one of us misses something, someone else will pick it up

@thekraftyman if you log out of Ubuntu and then log back in with "wayland mode" that will fix the gl driver issue
