Boosted the signal to 8 and I got an image but it was very fuzzy and looked like it was using less colours. So I then tried to boost it to 5,6,7 and got no image

Will buy a new HDMI cable when I am on my travels today but find it unlikely to be the cable itself as once upon a time the cable I am using now did provide an image via the AV receiver.

I removed all the duplicates and still this does not work.

The odd thing is that I seem to have a retroarch.cfg file appear in the libretro-Mame folder which does not look like my setup, its like a bunch of random keys. I will paste this in this evening when I am back at home.

First search hit man. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3510/dreamcast-rom-folder-missing

AHA! Think I've fixed it.

Find the gamelist .xml file for psx, delete it, then rescrape the game data.

Hi @xxghostbusterxx

In my previous experience, a WSOD (white screen of death) in Emulation Station is caused by too low a GPU Memory. You didn't specify which guide you followed, is there a chance that you changed this when trying to overclock the pi?

If you exit to the prompt by pressing F4 (even in a WSOD) and run:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

modify the gpu_mem line to:

gpu_mem= 256

Then press Ctrl+X, Y (to save the file)

then type:

sudo shutdown -r -t 0 now

This should reboot the pie. If you still get a White Screen of Death, try changing to a different theme in emulationstation (press start on the controller, the menu will still appear).

@omev2

Here's a thread we talked about the PS3 controller and Reicast
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3120/problems-with-dreamcast-and-ps3-wired-controller

@Ristul Could you post your retroarch.cfg file here?

@MrChilliBeer I'd try this one:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/scraper

That worked for the Genesis/Megadrive, thing is I can't exit a game from the gamepad I have to use the Esc key, any ideas?

Thanks

Do you bother with any of these?

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

Just a quick follow up on this issue, I successfully ran puyo puyo with mame2003 and the right romset.
Thank you for your help Floob.

@Floob Thanks. I'll check it out.

@suprjami said in Installed 4.0 retropie...now no shutdown..:

@chippettone The X360 L2R2 configuration problem you describe is resolved in 4.0 with an xpad module option that changes the analog triggers into buttons.

If you need to add the module option, this should do it: echo "options xpad triggers_to_buttons=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/xpad.conf and you'll need to reboot then reconfigure controllers after that.

This is set up by the xpad driver in RetroPie-Setup, but it will have no effect unless that driver is installed (the option may exist for the shipped kernel xpad driver, but it will only apply to unknown joypads. I patched the updated xpad driver to make this apply for any joypads).

If the user has updated from 4.0rc to 4.0 final, they will need to install the new driver from Manage Packages -> Drivers -> Updated Xpad Driver

I'll get back to my forum break again now :) - just wanted to clarify this in case the OP hasn't installed the updated driver (which it looks like).

@strandbummler not to say it isn't worth trying to see though ;) may want to look into chromium or something like that with zerojays retropie-extra repo

I don't have those controllers, but had the exact same issue with 2 8bitdo SFC30 controllers: When i 2 player games player 1 would control both players.

The issue was that the controllers were connecting in "keyboard" mode and the d-pad keys in this mode are mapped to the keyboard ctrl keys (presume a computer only normally has 1 keyboard hence both controllers were mapped to the ctrl keys)

The solution was to get the controllers to connect in "joystick" mode and then they worked correctly.

However, they required totally reconfiguring again and I went back to basics to do this and more or less followed this video:

I had to remove the blue tooth pairing and re-pair in this mode.

I reverted the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg back to defaults and the final solution had NO configuration in here just using the auto map functionality.

Used a default joypad config file from here: https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev for my joypad in here: /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

And then did the Normal Emulation Station input process (and manually added the hotkeys into the ES_input file)
