@sleve_mcdichael I tried your suggestion for Dreamcast and Playstation and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

If you have SSH enabled, can you check whether retroarch is still running after you issue the exit command (and the black screen shows up) ?
Did you add anything in the onstart/onend scripts that may run before the emulator stops ?
What's your screen resolution and what type of display are you using ?

@cyberBoy90 I don't know. I happened upon it by chance and it looked cool, so I saved the Github page. The 'Readme.md' in my link does state "Emulationstation Theme (AVAILABLE IN RETROPIE THEME LIST !)", so I'd wager it probably is.

EDIT: I just checked and it is in there. There are also a couple more that mention stuff like 'pixel' or '240p' or what have you in their titles, so those might be worth checking out as well. There are a few minimal themes out there with no metadata or art, so maybe you'll find something to your liking.

@Sailing_Nut said in lr-mame2016 Questions:

I was lead to believe that the mame-libretro was a generic folder for all MAME variants. I'll look at it more closely.

It is. If you have roms in that folder and several libretro Mames installed, you can press A when launching a game to choose which of your Mames should launch that rom (or set ot as default for everything in the folder). That said, I don't know from memory if Mame2016 is a libretro core.

I wound up imaging a new memory card and just moving my roms, bios & collections over.

What it seems like the prob was, is that when you rotate it back to 0 in the sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt the screen default resolution wasn't doing the trick. When you go to the settings of raspi-config for screen resolution and set that to default it shifts everything to the left but doesnt stretch it all from left to right. it basically stops at the center of my computer screen.

Anyway I would be nice to figure this out for others..

@Folly said in Super Pitfall PC-88- lr-quasi88 - Jump Button Mapping?:

@duglor

Strange key, but F7 is the key for jumping.
You can assign it in the retroarch-gui -> controls -> port 1 controls -> retro keyboard -> (assign, for example, "s" to "keyboard F7" -> go back 1 step and you should be able to save a game-specific remap file.
This is save in :
/opt/retropie/configs/pc88/QUASI88
and loaded next time you start the game again.

Worked like a charm. F7 eh? I swore i tried every key, perhaps in the speed in which i did it with , i didn't notice.lol. Thanks VERY VERY much!

@Retro-Arcade-Fan Maybe @Clyde can elaborate a bit further on it. AFAIK he had tested/compared some Models (and made his decision in favour of the mag-stik).

@mitu Alrighty and thanks for the help.

@BuZz said in I have to know - Imy upgrade procedure it's ok ? It's present some errors inside the LOG ?:

@DjDiabolik it's normal. They are built in packages (the code they install is part of RetroPie-Setup) and always update to ensure the latest runcommand, joy2key etc is installed. It's just how it works

OOOOKKK........ now i have a lot of knowledge about that :)
but in fact, the NOT presence of errors in the log it's peacefull.

How i already say... have to know :) And now i know :)

Thanks for info :)

@BuZz said in Install failure on ODROID-XU4:

@Sailing_Nut You will have to use the older ubuntu distro for now I think. There's no-one really maintaining the ODroid compatibility (apart from me when I get the time and connect mine up).

Also there are issues with the packaged drivers conflicting with Debian packages - this is the fault of the distro.

(Or alternatively use another emulation distro for your board)

I found the 20.04 image and got RetroPie installed. Still working to see if I can get a game to run.

@mitu I just saw this after posting my response. Nevertheless, thanks for your help!

@Recordspinner Didn't work, renamed files and I had to reinstall Retropie

thx @mitu , I think that explains it.

Retropie-Setup must have updated my retroarch.cfg when I update-all-packages, but I likely copied an "old reliable" one over from somewhere else and erased the new changes.

However I'd imagine that's still an unintended consequence when menu_disable_search_buttonis set to false?

@Ashpool said in rgui - load/save state option missing:

May I ask(/wonder) why update_packages_gui_setup() calls updatescript_setup(), but basic_install_setup() ain't doing that?

Not sure I fully understand.
Basic setup is meant for a new installation, which assumes you are doing a manual installation. This means you just cloned the RetroPie repository, so there's no need to update again the script.

@Ashpool Thanks for the help.

@Neo-Rio said in Retroarch build failure on PC:

currently trying to build retroarch fails with an error about "HEAD is now in branch 'retropie-v1.10.0' " and "Error running "git checkout retropie-v.1.12.0"
some patch branch on retropie isn't on github as expected to be or something's going on there.

More likely your local source copy is still present, because v1.10.0 fails to build with Ubuntu 22.04. Clean up the source folder before attempting another install.

@mitu Hi, and thanks for your reply.

Apologies for having not provided feedback sooner, not normally my habit to be ill-mannered. I had to purchase a SATA to USB adapter so I could boot from my SSD with the pi removed from the case, then we had a family wedding ...

Anyway, you're absolutely right. With the case taken out of the equation, and the SN30 Pro connected directly to a USB port on the pi, ReDream launches fine. So, as you said, must be an issue with the USB port on the NESPi4 case.

As I say, I do have a different controller, also from 8BitDo, which doesn't experience the same issue. Possibly because that model has upgradeable firmware? So I'll most likely buy another one of those, one which colour matches the NESPi4.

Anyway, thanks again for the solution.
