@mitu yeah sure mate. It’s all the same. Enjoy.

If you are still using the EasyHax setup try the following.

Make sure you are using the updated version that runs from the RetroPie menu

Format the drive to NTFS and create a “roms” folder at the root of the drive. (do not transfer ROMs yet)

Run the Expand to External Drive (Disable) to remove any previous setups.

Plug External Hard drive to Raspbery Pie

Run the Expand to External Drive (Enable) - Pi will shutdown.

Plug External Hard Drive into your PC. There should now be a full selection of folders in your “roms” directory. Place your roms into the desired system and it should be good to go.

Thanks so much EctoOne, that was some sharp eyes :D

I tried to simplify the structure previously by using variables to populate filenames but this ended up causing issues. Changing back to the file structure and hardcoding the names of each graphic seem to fix that. I thought I was done with messing in them sub-theme files and didn't think to check in there.

I was hoping to find that these problems where linked with the memory issues but alas, these problem with random missing images still prevails. Not to worry.

Thanks for helping me solve this problem.

it was off. why was i still getting them.

Do you have a link to what you purchased? That can help give a specific answer to your equipment.

Your buttons have separate pins for the button action (micro switch) and the LED. This can be good because it means you can power the LED separate from the button functionality.

I'm going to guess you have something like this:

0_1524260873912_4ccfb34c-a7a0-407d-ad73-1d3e0ebdcab1-image.png

The two pins on the top are the switch and you can tell this because they are connected to the little grey box (which is the switch itself) The yellow is positive and the black is ground.

The bottom two are the LED and similarly you can tell because they are not connected to the switch (little box). The red is positive and the black ground. In this image the ground is daisy chained, which is fine but you can ground the led separately if you want to.

Now for the Wire connectors.
It sounds like they sent you button connectors (two wires, two pins). This can work if you are going to wire up the LED power separately, but they should have sent you 3 pin connectors that would connect to the 3 pin led button slot like this;

I'm explaining using a lot of presumptions here so I will wait and see what you have before going any further.

As for 12 volt led buttons. That is a bit odd and over powered. easiest way to test is to wire one up to a 5 volt source and see how bright it is. If it works well enough for you GREAT. If not then ramp it up to a 12 volt and see what you get. Once that is answered you can look into set ups that will work (IE external 12 volt source) or replace them with 5 volt led buttons.

I don't know how to help but I would recommend that you try lr-vice. It's considered experimental but it works fine for me and benefits from RetroArch's control and shader goodness.

@mitu ahhh ok! Thanks for all of your help! I appreciate it!

Maybe we should make the text larger and RED.

@darkrx8 https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - we don't support 3rd party images.

Unfortunately I'm having the same problem with Etcher. I did a MD5 verify on the retropie-4.4-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz file and it matches.

@jjr71 See point 5 of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@maskedsquirrels said in Multitap works for some games but not for others, Secret of Mana, Looney Tunes B-Ball:

Ok back to the original problem. The SOM version I have is Secret of Mana (USA) [En by FuSoYa v1.0] (Variable Width Font Edition).sfc according to the file name.

It still links player 2 and 3 together.

It is likely that this hack change something in the headers of the rom, resulting in snes9x not recognizing the rom and not applying the right settings to enable multitap. You should try with an official usa or pal rom to make sure.

@lynxdbe we need to see an actual pic so we can see the error message at the top.

@ignatius Not really the place to ask, since the emulator is not developed or directly supported by the RetroPie team. You should try asking on the pcxs-rearmed project forums, this forum is specifically for RetroPie related questions.

@beggi321 I think @caver01 is right and you didn't actually enable dispmanx. You visited the menu from the Configuration section, but that menu shows something only if you have an emulator that supports dispmanx. If you don't have one installed, then the menu just flashes by and doesn't perform any configuration.

If you didn't do the steps that @caver01 described earlier - and set dispmanx as the video driver for RetroArch - then you didn't actually enabled anything, so there's nothing to disable.

Is there a reason you believe that dispmanx is enabled in your system ?

@jonnykesh That only happens on Facebook.

@g6delta No problem, I hope it solved your problem

Thank you for the response's

That's what I was assuming but I was crossing my fingers that I could add the 3do to my retropie machine

Disabling overscan and setting my display to 1:1 seems to have fixed the issue. Not sure what changed as I was using the same settings all this time and it suddenly had issue playing the videos.

Thanks guys
