Thank you very much. I will try now.

@Mu0n

There are some annoyances from xboxdrv: it can detect the L2 and R2 triggers as ABS stuff, but jzintv refuses to detect it, since it'd want a button behavior there instead. This severely reduces the amount of maps I can do.

You can convert your controller's analog trigger input to digital by adding:

--trigger-as-button

to your xboxdrv command. It's detailed more thouroughly in the guide here.

@BuZz said in Kodi 17.3 Crashes when detecting x265 files:

@maxbeanz they do the same thing. You must have chosen not to update system packages.

I have updated my 4.x Retropie image at least twice since installing. I chose 'Update All Installed packages' and when it asked if I also want to update the dependencies etc. I chose yes. I never saw it say anything about upgrading Raspian Kernal during the process. Since Kodi 17 it's never been able to play x265 files until I chose 'Raspian Tools / Upgrade Raspian Packages'. Maybe the script isn't fully working ? Can @Rascas confirm this ? Anyway, Kodi can play the files now.

@N-Game-Arts said in Retropie won't boot up anymore after installing Shutdown script:

I've done all the updates a few days back (how to tell what update version, I haven't clue

When you run retropie_setup, take a look at the top of that dialog box, as in the example below:
rpsetup

@TMNTturtlguy Well thankfully it was okay, my only irrational is that the mirror I use does go down sometimes, anyway I can check my mirror status or change my mirror in ssh?

@s1naloa10 that answer is incorrect. It is very unlikely you need bios files for your Mame roms rather you need the correct romset. This is all very clearly detailed in the documentation.

I suggest you give the docs a read and you'll find your questions will be answered.

Any luck? Also, (I'm new to RetroPie) what are the steps you took to get the cocktail shader? I've been looking around, but have yet to figure out how to find it, let alone get it running. Help?

@edmaul69 Tried it (I updated retroarch and all the other cores), and now it magically works! Thanks a bunch, edmaul :)

@paulo 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

FWIW, I was able to get my Matricom XYBA gamepads working, but only after switching to a fresh RetroPie install. I tried every suggestion I could find, and gave up after a couple hours of effort. I got to the point where the controllers worked in Emulation Station, but not with any of the ROMs. In my case, I believe the issue was that I had previously enabled the PS3 drivers, and that somehow affected the configuration such that the ROMs wouldn't recognize the Matricom gamepads.

@Garisaan i have done something sort of like this here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4046/crt-pi-shader-users-reduce-scaling-artifacts-with-these-configs-in-lr-mame2003-lr-fbalpha-lr-nestopia-and-more-to-come

if you use the last two links in that post, it will give you crt-pi-curvature-vertical shader in vertical mame games, and the regular curvature shader in the rest.

The branch and repository you're looking for:

https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/tree/RetroPie-Virtual-Systems-PR

Let us know how it goes!

Actually, its still not working?!

I'm getting Input/output errors when its running mkdir?

Very odd.

Try upgrading the software to the latest version.

It's an old topic of mine but I fixed it and thought it might be a good idea to explain how to fix it and why it happened in the first place.

My company PC is running Windows 8.1 with Mobile Intel 4 Graphics card. If you use the graphics driver that Windows 8.1 automatically installs you will get that corrupted font view. Technically I don't know why it happens but it looks like that the graphics driver chosen by Windows 8.1 does not have the necessary functions to run ES or other applications like Minecraft or Angry Birds.
So what you need to do is down-grade your driver to an older Windows 7 version which is very well explained here.

Once you have applied the older driver all runs fine.

Hope that helps.
