Please post the contents of your emu.cfg file.

Should be located in either:
/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg
or
/home/pi/.reicast/emu.cfg

Did not work for me :/

@Concat said in Runcommand Images Preventing Runcommand Menu:

I'm better off just mashing :)

I hear you. I've made the same comment about a few fighting games in the past. 'Primal Rage' comes to mind.

@Dominus
For the Metroid games where you need to keep pressing the Select button or like Wrecking Crew on the NES where it kicks you out of the current game when pressing Select, I made a config file with the same name as the rom with .cfg appended to it (like Metroid.zip.cfg) and then setup the Guide/Logo button as Hotkey on my Xbox 360 controller just for those games:

# Hotkey button input_enable_hotkey_btn = 10 #Guide

Or you can change it for every game on 1 system (like for MAME2003) by added the above to this file:
/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg

I recently played through Robocop using lr-fbalpha (0.175 romset) and I didn't notice any speed issues (but I'm not sure if I would noticed 57.4 vs 60 on that particular game). I am interested to see if anyone knows how to change the refresh rate in Mame2003.

@rbaker The first time I tried, I did follow that link exactly. After that didn't work and I started over a number of times trying it over and over, in the Retropie menu on Emulationstation there is a Basic Install option that says it will automatically add all the core and main emulators, so I did that instead of Manage Packages, to try and save a step as I had been trying for hours. I reinstalled the Image several times to try from the beginning. Each time the initial boot up seemed like it was going correctly based on the videos I watched and instructions from wiki.

The emulators I'm most interested in trying for starters are NES, SNES and SG/Megadrive

Yes, I did configure a controller during the first boot process. I followed this https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#installation up to transferring roms from USB...the final instruction says to "Refresh Emulationstation by choosing Restart Emulationstation from the start menu" After doing so, I could never get ES to start back up. I tried to not do the restart a couple of times, but nothing happened. There were no emulators or roms I could see or access.

You're playing an old console which had a low res output on a TV which has a high resolution (HD), thats why it looks so bad. Beside back in the days we thought that the graphics looked good because we didn't knew any better.

I'm using the smooth video option and the games look very good, the PSX emu had an extra graphic enhancer option when I used that option the PSX games did lag. Maybe it works better on a overclocked Pi.

Some games look very good pixelated, for an example Donkey Kong Country 2 on the SNES looks very good without the smooth option.

All you can do is update retropie and the pcsx core to latest and hope that fixes it. You might have to ask a libretro pcsx dev to look into it. Otherwise, there's always the gba version or fan translated on snes or FF2 censored official on snes.

I've got some problems with 1708 revision gamepad. Moving to 4.8+ kernel solved the problem for me. 4.9 is in the NEXT branch now btw. But older gamepad revisions seemed to work well afaik. Is it working at all (LED on..?)

@meleu In the end, I bought a simple wireless keyboard (without mousepad or media buttons) and it works perfectly. The keyboard I had before (microsoft all-in-one media keyboard) gave too much problems in RetroPie.

try mine config as shown in link above

Thank you, I have done so without a double boot use BerryBoot and so far things are going well with 4.1 Retropie setup. I will know tomorrow if MAME configuration for controller 2 is working properly. The auto mount for USB works fantastic.

Is there a way to easily copy all my saved "scrapings" for my game on this new version without running the scraper from the database again? Maybe somewhere I can copy from my USB drive that was mounted properly to the old 3.6 Retropie version. All I saw thus far was that selph's scraper won't work with USB drives, and hate to run the other way again as the integrated scraper kept timing out (although worked on mounted USB drives). If selphs scraper now works with the December 30th updated version to auto mount the USB using file "Retropie-mount" folder then i can go that route too. Thanks in advance for anything you can offer

It worked! Thanks!

Sweet! Glad you got it sorted out!

@maxpowerphd

Well, I'm not certain what your options are on the Pi for manipulating the audio output so that the soundbar doesn't skip. Does the soundbar have an option for different sound modes you could try? Maybe the choppiness is due to some post processing of the signal at the bar?

Thanks so much for you help i am going to take you advise and return and get a core setup.

yes i had installend reincast from the RP setup, i'm gonna try with your adwice

@markyh444 Yes! After a manual edit, it just reverts back to its original settings.
