Well, did a fresh download, format, write and boot and everything works fine now. Occam's Razor, I suppose.

Thanks for your help.

@fongmac You can try this tool and see what happens: https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

Also pay attention at that message on top of every page of this forum. You should give more info on your post.

@columboscoat I can confirm that this app is pretty handy.

Off-topic: just out of curiosity, how did you get that "Banned" next to your username? :-) Are you really banned and still able to post?

@rbaker I already tried with F7 + any key or ShiftF7 + any key, doesn't work, the sav folder, of corse, is present.

I start to think simply save state it is not supported by mame4all.

Last thing, i have some problem to write correctly in English so I do what I can, sometimes it's not enough, anyway before post this discussion, I assure you, i have tried alone for one week to solve the problem, i have read here and in whole internet lot of msgs but 99% of info was about normal mame (not mame4all) and in normal mame (that i use in my real arcade cabinet) works perfectly and in effect the tab menu (contrary to mame4all) has the two line load state and save state present.
At this point I ask the moderators to close this topic, 90% of topic is out of topic and doesn't help anyone sorry.

@SpudsMcToole

I can vouch for everyone who has suggested ruling out the TV as the issue. I only started out with the RPi/Retropie about 6 months ago. I started off using my LG 42" Plasma screen (bought in 2006) 720p. I definitely noticed lag like you describe (Mario slightly late jumping, etc.). It was a little disappointing, but I started reading and sure enough saw the suggestions similar to those above. My TV does not have a game mode.

Took my RPi to my brother's Samsung 50" TV and saw immediate improvement (even without game mode turned on). I can't be sure game mode helped in addition but I assume it was probably slightly better. Regardless, the TV made all the difference and it plays very well on his TV.

Now, I have the RPi connected to a 24" Samsung PC monitor that also works very well. In fact, nearly every TV/monitor I've tried was better than my TV.

In addition to the other suggestions above, I definitely agree you should try a couple different screens if you have access.

I'm also curious (now that I better understand the system) whether setting my RPi to 720p as default would've helped in the lag department.

Thanks the 7" is a ribbon cable, leaving my HDMI port free on the Pi.. .. Having a Bluetooth issue as well will start a new thread.

@CaptBenj I'm glad you got sorted. Do us all a favour and return to whence you came. *Please delete account.

Hi,

I've had similar problems when trying to run an Amiga emulator. I've found the process of using the emulators somewhat clunky through RetroPi/EmulationStation.

A few pointers to try:

Use UAE4All instead of UEA4Arm as I've found UAE4All to load most games without a black screen. I usually use an A500 kick start.

Try another copy of the game, some Amiga ADF files have been cracked and don't work well. Look for some clean Amiga roms, they aren't so easy to find online.

I've struggled getting multi disk games to load reliably.

Another issue is mapping USB SNES joypad a real pain to do on UAE4Arm, just wouldn't like the mappings or save them. UAE4All seems to save the configuration with some luck.

Overall, my experience hasn't been that great using the Amiga emulator. Using the older defunked UAE4All frontend seems to be more reliable.

If anyone has anymore pointers and tips please share.

@millertv79 Happy to report that the EW-7811UN works out of the box for RetroPie, and I used the PINN version of NOOBS with success as well, using a Pi Zero and a passive USB hub.

@valor852 said in Command Screen:

Where are these Raspberries?

4 Raspberries = 4 Cores = Quad Core = Raspberry Pi2 or Pi3. You see them when you boot the device.

I have exactly the same problem. I found quite a few videos on youtube which shows you how to resolve this by going into the actual retroarch configuration menu's.... but that's in version 3.6 of retropie. In v4.1 (the current latest version) many of those menu's do not appear. I've tried with a SNES styled USB controller... and a USB keyboard. When going through the retropie menu I can use both USB controller and/or keyboard. As soon as i select a game in any of the emulators, then the USB devices no longer work/or are recognised. I cannot even get back to the menu at all. Hard shutdown is the only way to get out of this (unplug the power cable) from my pi. I am also running the same setup as @TheCartesian mentions above running on a pi3 B. HELP retropie guru's..... i stupidly told my kids i'd get this setup for them to play the BEST CLASSIC games ever and i'm failing. Snif snif....

How did you solve?

@loganmc10

Sorry I wasn't very clear, I have framebuffer off currently. I turned it on, and then I turned it off. There's a noticeable graphical difference, so I know it's definitely off, but somehow the pause delay is still gone. Framebuffer On does increase the lag even worse though.

But even before I messed with the framebuffer, there was input lag is what I was trying to say.

I don't think there's a fix though, it's just how it's currently coded it seems.

If I do it by linux or windows would it copy everything including the games from SD card to NAS then back to the larger SD card?

@BuZz Thanks a million for your help! I ended up installing the latest elementary OS 0.4 Loki, updated the Retropie-Setup script and voila!
Thanks once again!

Kind regards,

@co88y

File is only .011 mb - is that right??

Yes but you will also need a BitTorrent client. I've never tried using one on a Mac so I can't recommend one but here's the wikipedia page for BitTorrent:

@batesman said in key settings problem in DAPHNE with Xin-Mo:
