@backstander said in Reicast Stuck On Time & Date !:

@Slugz

there is no select tab in the mapping.cfg

The Dreamcast controller didn't have a Select button but you could map that button to Exit the emulator (just remember not to accidentally hit it while playing a game!)

Change this in your /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_8BitdoSNES30GamePad.cfg file to use the Select button to Exit Dreamcast emulator:

btn_escape = 314

Did all this work for you?

yes got past the time & date.

will give it a full run later on.

thank you.

@vbs you're right. And it was already fixed. :-)
Cheers!

Does anyone have any further information on this. I too was following the same Instructables info and can not get this to work.

I have a slightly different controller then what is displayed, but it is a NES controller and not USB. I traced out the different color wires and adjust accordingly.

How can I test if the gpio is seeing any input from the wires soldered to the Pi Zero?

update

When I look in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg i see

Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/"
config_save_on_exit = "false"
video_smooth = "true"
video_shader_enable = "true"
video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/crt-pi-curvature.glslp"

^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@

when it should look like this when its working

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/"
config_save_on_exit = "false"
video_smooth = "true"
video_shader_enable = "true"
video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/crt-pi-curvature.glslp"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

Not sure what is writing jiberish to the config. Is there a way somewhere that I can run a command before the rom is loaded, ie." cp retroarch.cfg.good retroarch.cfg "? That fixes my problem as well.

@loganmc10 I added it for both X86/X86_64 anyway (keeps logic simple).

I checked, Taito F3 games don't run on fba at the moment :/.

Oh for sure! This is just nice to be able to hit a button and let it do it's thing. It will be the same to restore soon.

@pomme if you put the neogeo roms at the roms/neogeo/ folder, then the config file you want to customize is /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg.

@missmeow13 So when you turn the Raspberry on it shows the "Retropie and says 13" games?

Thanks for the help here, I've got it working this morning after managing to corrupt my installation last night and having to start again (note to self: back up save data regularly...)

For anyone interested in getting Daggerfall working, I ended up using the version of the game that comes with the Elder Scrolls Anthology set. I installed it on my Windows machine, and then copied over the folders DAGGER and DFCD into a folder called DF in the roms/pc/ path.

Edit the z.cfg file in the DAGGER folder so that the line for Path reads DF/dagger/Arena2

Then launching DosBox, do the following:

mount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/DF/DFCD" -t cdrom -label Daggerfall
cd DF/dagger
DAGGER

The game should launch fine.

Will set up a script to auto run this shortly, but I'm just happy to have it running.

Seems to run OK so far, but I've not hit any external areas yet so I expect there to be some degredation of performance there.

@Lyle_JP nope, it's a LCD TV. And it occasionally shows menu items that are completely unrelated to the current system being emulated. Occasionally there are other menu glitches when exiting games (menu scaled or zoomed to only fit system name on screen for one). I could try scanning my SD card for error I guess?

partially resolved. i had a setting enabled that was preventing new games from coming in via the scrape options.

I see the problem.

The problem is you have enabled ParseGamelistOnly - which will mean it doesn't scan for roms and only shows items from scraped gamelists. Hence your roms are not showing up.

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/FAQ

Parse Gamelists Only: If on, it will only read the roms you have scraped, so if you add any new roms it will not look for them unless you turn this back off. it is off by default.
also - are you aware any es_systems.cfg in /home/pi/.emulationstation will override the retropie-setup generated /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg - you probably dont want that unless you are happy to maintain it manually.

Resolved the roms not appear.

I'm still dealing with being unable to set hotkeys on the controller.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks. The problem then is bad wiring or a fault as they normally map to different keys.

@markyh444

yep cool thanks

@daeks Interesting. I missed that line in your config (must've skim read past it) but it kinda makes sense. No idea why it was forcing the hotkeys to js1 though when you only had the 8bitdo connected as js0. I don't remember my config being picky like that when I setup my n64 to USB adapter for glupen
