@herb_fargus Thanks. I saw that post moments after making mine, courtesy of the searching the tags. I've now fixed the wiki page.

Well, I don't know if it's the problem but I just found out that my intellivision games are not working any more... Blank screen and back to the menu.
Mame games seem to be OK.
About Apple, I tried with games zipped and unzipped by adding extension .zip in the es_systems.cfg

I found the problem about the intellivision games...
It comes from the keyboard hack files I created.
I removed them all and replace the emulators.cfg as well.
Now I can launch them. But without the keyboard hack !

Ok after so much testing found out to be a user error

I was just unplugging it from the base of the unit, where unit connects to the power but when I unplug it from the plug by the power plug not the adapter it works just fine :) All is well

nothing got corrupted

I'll try this as soon as I can, thank you!

@herb_fargus Thanks herb!

No that I remember although it's an upgraded image as it use to be on 3.7.

Am I doomed? I was hoping not to have to build from scratch.

The lack of free GPU memory caused it. So either keep your split higher as you have done, or use a lighter theme like Carbon.

That would be sweet. One can hope.

Hiho,
So thanks to dankcushions advice i fixed this issue for the most part. However, i've discovered i now cant auto load states in the Prodrive(7800) core. It seems to be auto saving for the most part but i always get the Auto Load Failed dialogue when booting a rom back up. I have tried going via the RGUI and although the dialogue doesn't say failed in this case, it just seems to load in the usual boot up state. I have the auto load/save commands set up in the 7800 config. Again it was working before updating to 4.02. As ever, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Grumbleduke.

I'm really pretty embarrassed right now, but it was because I only had my wireless keyboard plugged in and not any gamepads. Hooked my snes controller in and it booted right up. Thanks for your help and I hope this will help others who have this problem.

It was just that. I only had my wireless keyboard plugged in and it didn't recognize it as a game pad. Hooked up my snes pad and it booted right up. I had that realization in the middle of the night and then you confirmed my suspicions right before I got up and did it. Thanks man for everything.

@TheStrayMongrel I could help me with the same problem so that with the PSP emulator
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh
args 0 SYS psp "[romfilename]"
does not work..

@Cole_48 no problem.

@Concat said in Run Command:

I didn't realize runcommand requires a specific naming convention

I think this convention was made to match the scraper one.

@Lyle_JP , Thanks for the reply!
I'll have to wait until tonight to check it out.

The TV is in fact 1360x768. But I believe I tried group=2, mode=39 last night , after checking some of the resolution modes on Pi's website. I don't believe I tried as high as 81 , though. I'll check it out this evening.

At this point you really need to start using the search feature. These questions are very basic setup ones.

Last freebie: Use TAB key to access Mame controller configuration. Yes, you should have a keyboard handy when configuring Mame.

@battlecat said in Config file creation:

Does this mean that if I need to reset the retroarch.cfg it too will reset to defaults if I remove it?

Your original post is about ...configs/all/retroarch.cfg. If you delete it, RetroArch won't create a new one for you.

If you don't believe me, you can test it and see. :D Rename retroarch.cfg to a different name and execute the emulator you want. Then look at your ...configs/all/ directory to see if there's a new retroarch.cfg there.

Be aware that if you delete/rename the retroarch.cfg, the RetroArch will use its own defaults (what is default in its source code), but not the RetroPie defaults. Do you get what I mean?

When you reinstall RetroArch, like I suggested in my first response, you get a brand new retroarch.cfg with some presets made for RetroPie using.
