wow that was quick. It was the rom indeed. Thanks Mitu for your quick support. It finally works...

Forgot to mention, both partitions are formatted in ext4 format.
Not sure if that info was need lol but noticed i had not added it.
Cheers

I will disable ES from starting and throw an error to make it easier to fix by manually running raspi-config and disabling

@AlgorithMan-de
Your attitude is bad and is not the right way to get help. I would suggest a different approach - people do this for fun in their spare time - we owe you nothing.

If you go on github and write things like the following you will not get the support of any of the developers.

Thank you very much for wasting me 2 hours, whoever had the idea to hide a "brick the OS" function in a "this sounds like a very good idea" menu entry.

@trailjacker I personally don't know a lot about scrapers. I usually use sselph's scraper and then manually add videos on my own, though I'm using an old version of the scraper.

Sorry I'm not more helpful here - maybe a separate thread with that particular question may help?

@francegue You're welcome. It was no problem at all.

@tredelijkheid In your custom Carbon theme in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes, make a copy of the zxspectrum folder and rename it zx81.

I couldn't find any ZX81 artwork in the RetroPie themes but I did find a selection of ZX81 svgs in the Recalbox theme.

Download your preferred logo by right clicking on the image and selecting Save image as.... Save it on your PC as system.svg so it's consistent with the Carbon theme and place a copy in the zx81/art folder you just created and your theme is done.

@stealth1820

I have it working on mine. But I had it going before I upgraded. I used this

@mitu @spaceman Yeah, it just gets in the way. If you want Raspbian, write that image. NOOBS is a waste of space and a PITA.

For default controller mapping here is a link:

Oops mitu just beat me to it

@natemac The inbuilt scraper saves in /home/pi/.emulationstation/ There is a downloaded_images and a gamelist folder. Using sselph scraper you probably stored your metadata in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/system_name/
AFAIK the system should read both. Delete the gamelist and any images folder from /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/and it should read and display those in ~/.emulationstation/

@barbudreadmon so i can see only "Psikyo/Kaneko SH2 mode". should i update from source ?

EDIT:
i updated from source and i have got this speedhack option. Its perfect now, thank you

@matchaman The actual CPU / SOC is inside the black square you see. Not sure if the Pi Broadcom chip is enclosed in ceramic or plastic but it's just the housing that is scratched / slightly chipped.

To be a bit more clear: when selecting a non-working preset retroarch just dumps me back to the filter selection screen without making any changes.

As Herb says, the official image overwrites everything and Emulation Station loads automatically. It basically works right out of the box, just copy rooms over and plug in a controller or keyboard.

Hi,

Thanks great answers,

Much appreciated:)

I ve managed to do it through some commands. Thanks anyway! :)

Yes, please be more specific and we can help. I've set up loads of 8bitdo controllers and frequently have 4 working via Bluetooth on my system with no issues at all :)
