@jediknight36 Use the secrets menu when you start a new game. Thats where you enter the password. no link cable required.

@buzz np. If you do wait for 1.7.1, you may want to update the xmb assets at the same time - there's been a bit of activity in the assets repo that might impact it.

@mcorby17 said in Cannot get RetroPie to find ROMs via USB copy/paste:

Emulator: NES? Not sure. Do I need to install an emulator?

Please read the documentation
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Entertainment-System/
All of your questions are answered there.

Finally, here's how I did to temporarily fix this bug.

edit or create /opt/retropie/runcommand-onstart.sh

add these lines

##reset bluetooth when launching mupen64,vice (fix controller cannot reconnect after get disconnected)
if [ "$1" == "c64" ] || [ "$1" == "n64" ] ; then
sudo hciconfig hci0 reset
fi

each time you launch a N64 or c64 game, you must reconnect (simply press ps button) the controller when game is started.

now if controller get disconnected or out of battery , you can reconnect without issue.

it also work if during the game a second controller want to connect, it is now recognized.

hope this help

@Swampy , @mitu

Thank you for your help. I am back on RA 1.6.9 from binnary and everything is ok :)

@mitu Perfect! Now RGUI it's back.
menu_driver = "xmb" was in snes/retroarch.cfg, deleting that line fixed it.
Thank you very much :)

@dereksanderson Firstly, the Raspberry Pi is an ARM based single board computer as opposed to a x86 intel based pc. You cannot therefore expect a linux based "image" that has been configured for a Raspberry Pi to boot on a pc. You will need to follow the documentation to achieve what you want...

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Debian

Second thing to note regarding "a great image from MLPIXEL (a 32GB) which boots on Rasperry Pi ". If this has roms then it is illegal. You should check out point 5 of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first as indicated from @buzz as I was typing this very line.

@kelvinnkat said in Does anyone have a version 3.6 RPi 3 image?:

why aren't old images on github?

When Cortés reached the new world, he burned his ships to inspire confidence in his men to move forward. With RetroPie however, I imagine it's simply a matter of practicality. Supporting the latest greatest release already takes a village. Supporting all the outdated images that have come and gone would be a pretty big burden. Personally, I don't see that 4.x is any less "plug and play" than 3.6. What are some examples that you've noticed?

@mitu fair enough. I appreciate the points made and now realise its wrong. All i'd say is i wanted a retro games box and this looked great. Its raspberry pi from what i've read. I'll wait for the dude to get back from holiday. Just wondered if anyone had encountered the same message and if there was any commands i could try to get emulation station retropie working again.

If the mods want to delete this thread then by all means. I tried but it says i can't once someone has replied. Appologies all.

Wiimote + Dolphinbar should work with RetroArch emulator cores as of the latest releases of RetroPie and RetroArch.

You can look at the instruction section in my project page over on hackaday

https://hackaday.io/project/21553-pi0cket-tiny

The screen I used is a 128*128 screen so yours may be different. There is also the guide in my signature for ili9341 screens, you will see the similarities between the instructions, and get some idea of the wiring

@mitu Coincidentally, I tried stretch with his mame build last week and it ran like dogcrap. I tried a neogeo game and ran at 30% speed.

Facing the same issue with "select" not working. Don't know what "drastic" is, so cannot comment on this.

There seems to be a "fix", but I am not sure whether this is part of 4.3 yet? Anyone has a more recent image and can try? Are their nightly or weekly builds for Retropie?

https://github.com/RetroPie/SDL-mirror/pull/4

Yep, same problem here. Just updated mupen64plus from binaries, no changes. Crashes everyone when trying to load a state... Saving states works though, can see the files in the folder being created, also they have the current timestamp.
Using mupen64plus-gles2n64 btw.
€dit: Loading the savegame seems to work when i'm editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconf.cfg , changing
mupen64plus_audio = "1"
to
mupen64plus_audio = "0"
This though leads to no sound anymore, loading the savegame with the same key combination though works then...

Nevermind. It looks like I'm on Stretch, not Jessie. I guess I'll have to re-install Raspbian yet again...

@herb_fargus

I also can't edit the main spreadsheet for N64:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wjzbu90l6eCEW1w6ar9NtfyDBQrSPILQL5MbRSpYSzw/edit#gid=592084905

One issue with giving everyone access to it though is there will always be that one guy who will grief and just delete the entire thing. Of course you can undo what someone else does but it's a pain.

Also, I was just curious. Does Retropie have a Discord?

@linuxpaul it is not our practise to modify system settings. We leave that to the competent (or incompetent) user to mess up ;)

I ended up finding a solution. A fresh image seemed to have solved all the issues. Not entirely sure why, but I think it may have something to do with the way my GPIO pins were set for the Borkin button.

Hate having to start over, but it's nice to be up and operating again!
