Nice. I am glad I could help.

@mitu Thank you!! That was it.

Hey so I really only made an account to respond to this query. The easiest way to deal with this is finding the .cfg file for the PISNES emulator. PISNES searches for a different cfg file than the built in emulator (so you need to manually edit it for each different controller) where as the included emulators reference the cfg file you set up when you mapped your controller the first time you connected.

Remember when you had to first set up your controller? You need to know what each button corresponds to Go to the MAIN MENU and hit Configure Input Notice that every time you hit a key while mapping a number appears? You'll want to make note of what number each key is Connect to your Raspberry Pie via SFTP and find opt/retropie/configs/snes Notice there is a file in the directory named retroarch.cfg - that's file contains data helping built in emulators You want to open snes9x.cfg (this is what PISNES uses) with a text editor Scroll Down until you see this!

- These are the original values! Values corresponding to keys will change depending on what controller you are using

Change each value to the appropriate value of the corresponding key you want (the info from step 1)

Profit

OK, I got it figured out. I thought SSH was enabled by default but I guess it wasn't. I told it to start the SSH server and now I can connect fine.

@dankcushions oh, I was just looking at the core information when you go into the Retroarch GUI. It's listed as 1.6.7 - FB Alpha v0.2.97.42 928a4d6.

@mitu True. I forgot they added the favorites/recents. I was referring to just the metadata. Good catch

@digi Earlier I said that MAME4ALL needs to be configured. Which MAME are you trying?

Huge apologies for breaking the rules.

I'm very new at this so I was answering what I thought was the question, when it wasn't that.

Tonight when I get a change I'll look and be more correct in my answer to what you're looking for.

Thanks

@supercatfooz Nice trick ! The Bios animation is catchy and funny, wouldn't have know about it without this topic.

@BuZz I just saw that Libretro-Mupen works fine without Problems, and i love Retroarch, so im gonna use that Emulator from now on!

@morpie For what it's worth, I have a cocktail style cabinet and play most vertical games rotated by Retroarch (my setup has a three-sided control panel) and performance is great on those games. Actually, vertical orientation works great in other emulators as well. For example, Tempest in AdvanceMAME runs fine rotated to fill a vertical.

I still use Emulation Station as a front-end since this can be managed from the horizontal position on my system. However, I am using an LCD display upside-down (this is typically the best viewing angle for a table top cocktail design) and I need to rotate everything 180 degrees using config.txt. I don't believe my system pays much of a penalty for that, if any. But I did try running with 90 degree rotation at the system level and I can confirm that games definitely slow down.

So, from personal experience, if you can keep the operating system horizontal and let the emulators do the rotation for vertical games, you get the best performance. And if Attract Mode has the ability to rotate itself, well, that's the best vertical solution I have heard of on the Pi so far.

Do you have the FDS BIOS sysdisk.rom in the BIOS folder?

Sorry, I purchased Raspberry Pie 3, and downloaded Retropie and have version 4.1

Everything I installed was from common search online.

I went to update something a few weeks back while tinkering and since then in the menu alone it's given the attempt to update python and then nothing

I can provide a picture if that would be helpful.

So I found out that after doing a fresh install mupen64plus has changed where it references the game saves in a different folder being .local/share/mupen64plus/save folder. However, legend of zelda does not seem to recognize the .Sra or the .srm file I copied to that directory. Making progress, but not finished yet. Figured I'd post my findings for anyone else having issue or to see if anyone else had any suggestions.

@seffdog1 https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - what's your system ? Which emulator are you using ? Give us some more details about your setup to be able to help.

It seems you might have re-configured the RetroArch controller settings for the psx core, try removing the core settings from the /opt/retropie/configs/psx/ folder.

I couldn't figure out the extracting thing for the file but I got it to work with etcher. Thank ya'll for the advise and guidance. I'm completely new to all this and suck with computers

Yup, that "Finish him" bug in mk.zip is a pain. It replaces all phrases with "Finish him"and makes the game feel like a bad hack.

I don't recall that being present in previous versions of the core.

@michael40475 said in Audio not working? How to fix problem??:

can I please get very detailed advice on how to fix this issue? Thanks so much in advance.

Not unless you provide very detailed descriptions of your entire setup. That only makes sense, right?
