@Aabra If you mean this type of thing:
http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/fba-retroarch-core-coin-controls/#post-93014

then if you make a change to /arcade/retroarch.cfg it will affect all the emulators that you use against roms in the arcade roms folder. Which isnt necesairly an issue, but it means your hotkeys will change.

The input_enable_hotkey_btn = 5 you refer to is basically changing the hotkey enable function to another button - but it must be valid - see what yours are here:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/{controller-file-name}

I went through this a week or so ago. I got to the part about the pin also and left it a zeros. It gave me some error but if you go back to the setup menu and tell it to connect it should connect when you scan and hit the 2 buttons on the wii controller. Here is my thread on getting mine to work.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3881/wii-controller-help-needed-solved

@graf remove /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/cfg/default.cfg

if you removed the mame4all.cfg you should re-install the emulator to get the default config back

@mikeyb Hmm...how did you transfer the games over? Did you enable samba shares and do it that way? Are each system's games in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ ?

Cause yeah the systems should show up in emulationstation as soon as there are rom files in those folders.

@ScOULaris is it that you cane see it at all or you just cant make out what it says? if it is the latter then just increase the font size in /opt/retropie/configs/all retroarch.cfg. search for this line:

video_font_size = "12"

and make it any size you want.you also can make these changes to it:

# Enable usage of OSD messages. # video_font_enable = true # Offset for where messages will be placed on screen. Values are in range 0.0 to 1.0 for both x and y values. # [0.0, 0.0] maps to the lower left corner of the screen. # video_message_pos_x = 0.05 # video_message_pos_y = 0.05

I had the same problem. It turns out that the folder in "/etc/emulationstation/themes/cobalt/trs80" should be hyphenated, so rename it or copy it as "/etc/emulationstation/themes/cobalt/trs-80" - now it works.

@thunder no problem

Hi!

Sadly no, i don't know how to skip the constant set up of time and date at each launch...
I never used Daphne so no i don't have a config fot it.

Sorry i can't help you for this one :(

As you can see, it just iterates over the number of lines in the logo array: for i in "${!logo[@]}"; do

And the logo array has 10 lines, so only 10 lines will be printed:

168 local logo=( 169 "${fgred} .***. " 170 "${fgred} ***${bfgwht}*${fgred}* " 171 "${fgred} \`***' " 172 "${bfgwht} |*| " 173 "${bfgwht} |*| " 174 " ${bfgred}..${bfgwht}|*|${bfgred}.. " 175 "${bfgred}.*** ${bfgwht}*${bfgred} ***." 176 "${bfgred}*******${fggrn}@@${bfgred}**" 177 "${fgred}\`*${bfgred}****${bfgylw}@@${bfgred}*${fgred}*'" 178 "${fgred} \`*******'${fgrst} " 179 "${fgred} \`\"\"\"'${fgrst} " 180 )

Assuming you've renumbered the out loop from 1 to 12 so that it ends:

220 12) 221 out+="${fgwht}The RetroPie Project, https://retropie.org.uk" 222 ;;

Just add two more lines to the logo with the correct spacing:

180 " " 181 " " 182 )

Now it works fine:

Learn bash scripting and you can do many things on Linux :) http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html

I think you could just disable gamepad support for kodi in Kodi settings under System-Input.

I think I found the reason: The hex values that are getting sent are terminal-specific and don't work for my terminal. I fixed it (hopefully) by using curses which uses terminfo to translate to the actual terminal values.
PR soon... :)

I tried several times to make the scripts but doom does not start. Retropie of 3.3 worked. From retropie 4 they do not start the scripts. The procedure is the same but does not start. Click on the item (eg Doom2) and remains black screen and returns to emulationstation. Only shareware doom works. In the shareware doom script there are not all these written. What can I do? I've already done the script as you said, but will not start. I also checked the permissions and access are the same and have enabled the script as a running program. I do not know what else to do ... you have any idea? Thanks for the help given so far.

Ok managed to get the TAB back by remove the default.cfg file in \home\pi\RetroPie\roms\mame-libretro\mame2003\config

Resetup the ingame mame button configs and it is all working as it was before. Thanks

@thetechkid said in How do I make game cartridges???:

I want to make an old school game system,

I'd suggest start with getting a Pi and putting RetroPie on it and playing around a bit to get familiar with how things work

and make separate cartridges for it.

This could be accomplished a number of different ways

I know that (after watching someone else's video) that I can just use NFC tags,

just is certainly a loaded term. There is a lot going on with that NFC setup.

but I have no idea how

Figuring this kind of stuff out is where a lot of the fun comes in.

and I don't want to be buying an Arduino as well.

an Arduino may not be required for what you come up with, but it seemed to work well in the mini NES NFC setup you mentioned

Is there a way to have kind of flash drives and make Emulation Station run a game from a flash drive automatically? Thanks in advance.

The NFC chip had the name of the game on it and then a script was running on the Pi to start that game (the game itself wasn't on the cartridge) but I'm not sure what commands the script is kicking off. If it were my project, before I introduced a "cartridge" aspect to it I'd look at ways to kick off an emulator with a specific game independently of the EmulationStation menu.

Problem solved!

@BuZz im sorry!! thank you very much!!

you can mark threads topics as "solved" under topic tools btw. I will do that now.
