@lovelorn88 I learned quickly to back up everything after a change. Until I finally got it stabilized I backed up every hour or two until I finished.

Here's another site that said the same thing only in easier terms:
"Mount CUE sheet with something like dameon tools or Alcohol 120%. Then simply use IMGBurn and choose the mounted drive to make an image from disc in the wizard option. Then choose where you want the file and it will be converted from a multi-track BIN/CUE file set to a single BIN/CUE file set."

@heshy did you remove the core_freq overclock as well?

Did other N64 games work fine? Is it just super smash that you had issues with?

@nowun said in Another N00b question. (Stretch 3B+ Updating):

once this is out of beta am I going to have to redo everything again?

Once you start on the base stretch image it's just as simple as updating from the setup script. You shouldn't need to reflash as I don't anticipate any major changes before an official release

@sano said in Unable to Use Hostname to SSH:

You may also use a passphrase and an ssh agent to only have to type the passphrase once per user session ;)

Correct, I had that in mind but didn't articulate it. Thanks for the addition. :)

@dankcushions
Thank you !!

not too sure what to try next.

Maybe open a new support topic - instead replying to a topic started like 2 years ago - and provide the necessary information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Hi mate I removed all the unwanted systems off for my cabinet. I found people going straight into stuff like Amiga and Playstation where you need keyboard or Analogue inputs. I have Arcade, nes & snes, master system & mega drive. Simple is better on a cab...i think.

@Spartacus as the fellows told you before me, the main problem on loading the N64 games could be the extension. If the files are zipped, unzip them and throw those files into the proper folder. The N64 extension should .n64 .v64 or .z64. Most of the games should work properly depending on the configuration and your raspberry model. I always had problems with Killer Instinct since I'm not able to find a good file for that game. But for the others, I had no problem at all.

Concerning the MAME incident, as @herb_fargus stated, the problem should reside on the romset you have. MAME has many different versions and a single game could work fine in one oh those versions but could not work in other. I don't remember but I guess most of the working games are in the romset 1.38

You can check it.

Yep,

Basically i had started out using arcade controls using the Picade Hat wired to arcade controls'
That is recognized by retropie as being a keyboard, later on i set up a FC30 Pro for use with the console systems.

The issue i had was while learning how everything worked i had used different methods on how i was changing settings then i would change something in the a zip.cfg file or the per system retroarch.cfg then get really wonder why it wasn't changing when it was set in one of the overrides that i forgot i had used.

as i say, this time round i am trying to stick to rules as to what i use each type of config for so i know where to look to fix things later.

@skrapps914 What happens if you press TABto access the config menu then press your switches? mame4All is not part of retroarch.

Hey everybody, I have a quick update for those who want xBRZ-like quality from the Raspberry Pi.

I ended up working around this by replacing RetroPie with Lakka, setting the full-screen resolution there to 1280x720 and using the 4xScaleHQ shader (in the scalehq directory).

Everything runs smooth, tried with numerous games on various platforms, including MDK on PlayStation 1. No lag in the menus either, and the image quality is fairly close to xBRZ (though, of course, you can still tell the difference). I am quite happy with this solution.

Another nice shader you can try is scalefx-hybrid.

@edmaul69 said in Arcade with Two PS1 Controllers:

@aznag look for @meleu’s joystick selection. It allows you to do whatever you want with all of your plugged in joysticks

Thansk @edmaul69. I will check it out.

@hoodle The wires inside the nespi case are pretty thin. I do get the low power warning with mine sometimes, but mostly fixed that by using a 3A supply. Still get it once in a while when loading movies in KODI. The only way to fix it is to rewire the case with thicker cables.

I solved my concern.

In fact it is necessary to modify in the file advmame-1.4.rc the following line:

input_map [p2_lightgunx] mouse [2, x]
input_map [p2_lightguny] mouse [2, y]

Thank you in any case, I could not double cursor on any game.

@mitu and there you have it solved in 10 minutes flat. It was indeed a cheap hdmi causing the issue. Many thanks
