@Ghost-Note I ran into this audio issue too for Reicast emulator. I dug into this issue this weekend and changed the following Reicast configuration files to resolve my Alysa driver related issue. Hope this helps!~

Located in: /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast There's 2 config files i.e. (emulators.cfg, emu.cfg) I recommend making backups those before proceeding.

In "emu.cfg" verify the following is set to [audio] disable = 0

In "emulators.cfg" Append the following statement to configuration file and save:

reicast-audio-alsa = "CON:/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh alsa %ROM%"

Now you need to choose "reicast-audio-alsa" as default option in Runcommand Launch Menu. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

Pretty sure I needed up fixing all my issues.

@edmaul69 seems logic :) so yeah I'll start by the standard installation of everything, then try to run every games I wish to play on, and then see if I need any other manipulation ! (I'll buy and install the raspberry pi in the fan equiped case in case of I need to try it out.)

thanks for your guidance edmaul69 !

@AlexMurphy I have pressed TAB, I am in the menu, I have selected Input This Game
It does not recognize my arcade joystick d-pad which has been configured through Emulation Station prior to all of this.

The ghost controller is most likely your keyboard. I have the exact same experience here. You could try removing the USB dongle for the keyboard, reboot and see if the PS3 pads are detected as 1 and 2.

It was an issue for me because the PSX emu would not let me play, since the player1 controller was 'occupied', but i got around this by changing some config file, so controller 2 for player 1 and controller 3 is for player 2. Unfortunately i can't remember which config file it was. I am sure that someone would have this on the tip of their tongue.

That is brilliant thank you

@martincrocenzi said in Segmentation Fault Screen:

@zoop did you reboot the raspberry? when exactly do you get that screen? Can you detail the text or message you receive? Any capture or pic? Which Raspberry do you have? Which sd card? Any other specs? Whta do you mean with too aggressive?

Thanks!

I used a kit I ordered from Amazon for my PI setup. The details may be found here, including the details on the SD card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWURJMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pi Model or other hardware: PI 3 Model B
Power Supply used: 5V/2.5A Power supply charger for Raspberry 3B
RetroPie Version Used (3.6, 3.8.1, 4.01 etc.. - do not write latest): 4.1
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website

The overclock settings I am using without issues are (credit YouTube vid where I found them):

Stable settings for me:

gpu_mem=400
arm_freq=1400
over_voltage=6
sdram_freq=500
core_freq=500
gpu_freq=400

When I bumped the arm_freq up to 1450 I received the aforementioned error. Resolving the issue on my end was as simple as modifying my config.txt to scale back the arm_freq to 1400 again and powering the system off then back on again. To my great relief everything just worked once the setting had been changed back to a stable configuration.

I do not 100% remember how the screen looked with the error. It may have just been a single line reading segmentation fault. All I remember for sure is there was a 'segmentation fault error' on the screen and I figured it had to be my OC settings. I just had to hope I had not corrupted my image or something..

Apologies for the delayed response, I hope you find what you're looking for and are able to resolve the issue. Best luck!

I have converted FF7 to PBP but it just keeps sending me back to the game list every time

@zkdr said in Hotkey for RetroArch Quick Menu (in game menu):

I've yet to be able to figure out how to swap A + B only for the retroarch menu.

Do you mean swap OK and Cancel buttons?

This config is "hidden" in Settings >> Input >> Menu Swap OK & Cancel Buttons.

Got it sorted ,I plugged the raspberry pi3 into my HD TV and the screen was able the handle the default 1920x1080 resolution.Then went into Kodi settings and set the resolution to the nearest to 1280x1024 which was 1280x720.
Another leason learned on the Pi.

Thanks guys for all your help and support.

@edmaul69 I changed the file permissions and it still didnt work. I read somewhere that the configs folder @ /RetroPie/configs/n64 is just a shortcut to /opt/RetroPie/configs/n64 so I changed that one too but no luck. The system changes it back to what it decides is best and none of my changes stick

So, I purchased a mini HDMI to a standard HDMI cable, and replaced the cable and adapter I had (the amazon basics mini HDMI to female full size HDMI adapter). Everything works perfect now. Thanks everyone!!

I'm new to this stuff myself, and it is happening to me also.
I mistakenly did a kernal update while trying to navigate around, and 20 minutes later I had no way to exit apps like Retroarch and only tested with GBA roms, but both I attempted would not work right for my NES30 Pro. I'm going to have to start over also. I hope they fix this issue soon. I've had to unplug twice because of this, and going to learn SSH before trying any more games.

I just ran through the first level of 'Virtual Boy Wario Land' using red/blue, red/cyan, red/green and green/magenta glasses and I couldn't personally tell a difference in the quality of the 3D effect. However, it seemed to me that the one that should be avoided the most would be red/green as it renders everything in in yellow tones and after extended play sessions, that will likely disrupt the ability to perceive color in the real world for a good ten minutes to half an hour afterwards in a big way.

BUMP

This is the only emulator I've had issues with – yes I get sound stuttering or dropping on the games I've played. I figured it was just too hard for the Pi (though that I would think might happen with the larger Playstation games), but I will look into this tweak.

Cheers Guys, thanks for the info.
