@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.

@mitu

great, many thanks!

To anyone reading this, back up your image with a 2nd SD card, or at least copy your gamelists/roms/downloaded_images to a PC. This is really critical if you spent a ton of time perfecting your build.

I use to backup all relevant files to my smartphone.
This gives you the option to have all these files & folders ready anywhere and anytime :D

@Folly ahhh extract it ...thanks that is what I needed
Thank you

Is there a way to run Mega Duck and WASM-4?

I'm not sure they're available for ARM - I'm not familiar with these cores.

@humppa said in Cannonball Engine (Outrun Emulator):

I managed to get the Hires setting running smoothly by using the following (moderate) overclocking settings in /boot/config.txt:

arm_freq=1300
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=2

The framerate needs to be set to 30 fps though. With the framerate set to 60 fps the sound will still stutter. The Pi 3 manages to achieve ~50fps according to the optional fps-display.

Regarding the joypad "up and down issue" in the menus, I am also interested in a solution.
I have an XBOX 360 controller and I am using the left analogue joystick in "wheel mode" using the following setting:

<analog enabled="2"> <!-- Select axis for analog controls You can place the accelerator and the brake on the same axis if your controller has a split axis setup. For an XBox 360 Controller, the wheel should be axis 0 and the pedals on axis 2. --> <axis> <wheel>0</wheel> <accel>2</accel> <brake>2</brake> </axis>

Usually, this is set to "0", which means that the analogue stick of my joypad would work as a digital one. The "2" setting allows much better steering control in my view.
However, setting <analog enabled="2"> also means that the left joystick is deactivated for the menus. With a setting of "0", the analogue stick would kind of work, but sometimes I am e.g. unable to move down in the menus. So I am using my keyboard instead. I really need to find a way to configure the D-PAD up and down buttons for the game menu...

This solution corrected the drift problems I was experiencing with my Xbox360 controller as well. Has anyone since come up with a workaround to address the resulting joystick menu deactivation (aside from using a keyboard)?

I'd be interested in a solution as well.
At the very least it would be great to map ESC to the joystick in order to quit the game without navigating the menu with analogue on.

nto the

Awesome again dudes thankyou very much

@sleve_mcdichael I'm using a fork of retropie that doesn't allow this, well it allows it it just defaults every settings changed on reboot, so I need to do this via the hardware

@mitu Thanks, updating the script and reinstalling helped.

Please add more details about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@giovanni11 said in world rally 2 gaelco dual screen problem:

After starting mame I pressed the TAB key and this menu opens, clicking on "dip switches" I have the possibility to change monitors 1/2, but I tried and selecting "monior 1, then the emulator always restarts with two screens

Well, then I'm afraid I can't help you. I know nothing about MAME64UI on pc. I play the game using FBNeo on a Raspberry Pi 3 and the monitor setting does pertain in that.

I do believe there's an FBNeo version for Windows, but I also don't know anything specific about that.

@maschine Replying to an old message here, mainly in case others are looking for the same.

If you want to fully disable the power button, then check the manual for this case. It describes a hardware jumper that can be set to fully disable the power button. Power will always flow to the RPi4B board.

By setting the jumper to pin 2-3, the device will be in always on mode.

@alikatado88 i had a similar effect with a bad HDMI-Cable.
Is the one you use with your 55" the same one that you used with the PC-Monitor?
