I remember, when reading about xboxdrv that it had a specific option for this problem. Would you be able to use xboxdrv with your current controls to work around the problem

@usarmyvet That depends on the emulator in question. Most emulators of Retropie are so called "cores" of RetroArch. See here how to smoothen their graphics in RetroArch and even "upgrade" them to some extend, i.e. making them look more like the vintage monitors the games were originally run on.

@usarmyvet said in NOOBS distro scraper issue and game saves:

However, I now run into the issue where when I attempt a scrape, it kicks me out of emulation station and into terminal and says "no space allowed" . I was told its because its a NOOBS distro?

Update all installed packages and try again. You might be using an older version of Emulationstation.

@paulmartin Try looking into the options described in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/672/a-stop-job-is-running-for-lsb-controlblockservice-init-script/18, either boot the Pi in 'safe mode' or mount the card from another Linux system and delete the powerblock driver start script to stop the reboot cycle.

@jackknife18846 the partition you're referring to is not recognised by Windows as it is a Linux partition. You can either put it into a Linux laptop to browse it, or use other methods of getting ROMS etc on (these are all in the official documentation).

You can use your local network to browse to the Pi and copy the ROMS that way, or us the USB copy method instead.

@mitu

Ill try that, just for fun. My intention is to set it in Kiosk eventually and leave it alone. Its not hard to SSH into the pi and change it if needed on occasion. ok, im an idiot. I was "assuming" that id press the buttons during the splashscreen, not in the second after it dissapears. It is working perfect. My misunderstanding. Thats an interesting idea, I will try and check it out, I will need to undo some things on the core options and move them but I feel this may actually work. I was obviously thinking too hard and forgot about the retroarch.cfg overrides. GREAT IDEA!

@dj-wheels That's too bad about the microswitches. I got all of my pushbutton and joystick components from them (this was ages ago) and I have not had problems. I think I had one switch failure since 2009 out of 48 switches (cherry).

@alturis most likely a game which only run on x86.

Thx for the replies and suggestions!

Found the problem: the Pi did not get enough power. I switched to another power source and it works :)

So this can be locked!

@pbrook67 The commands @dudleydes posted should be executed from a command prompt, best to use SSH since you can easily copy & paste the command.
Regarding your other post, I don't what ultimate Intellivision console is, my suggestion would update the emulator (jzintv) to the latest version available in RetroPie, nothing more.

Did you see this at the top of the page?

"Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first"

If you can complete the information requested in that post, then we will see what we can do to help.

Got it. I figured out my issue anyway. Thanks.

Thanks for looking into this. I'll try it when I get home. Anyone figure out why you can't toggle the "disable" switch in retroarch and have it save?

@maxxtc if you are using Amiberry then instructions for this are in the wiki

I sorted it. One of the joysticks was upside down. it configured correctly but when playing a game it was back to front, strange but fixed now.

@zmirli13 said in PS3 Controller - Bluetooth Woes:

Il y a des postes qui servent à tester, d'autre à jouer pendant les pauses....
Les postes que l'équipe se sert pour tester les jeux sont relié à des PC avec une carte d'acquisition HD ou non-HD.
Donc, la personne ayant était en charge du test du jeux vidéo que montre ton lien soit le jeu Top Spin 3, a était tester par Renaud qui à, après avoir rédigé son article, pris place devant le poste de test qui est techniquement équipé d'un écran Full-HD et d'une console Xbox360 et a mis à enregistrer avec un programme d'acquisition se trouvant sur le PC. Il a donc tout simplement faite une vidéo HD avec ce même programme.
Par la suite, ShowBox

I think you posted to the wrong thread... this is over a year old, and after translating what you wrote, it didn't apply to the OP... something about xbox testing and hd screens....
