@rbaker Thanks. I haven't got my Pi yet but if v4 is on the way, I might grab v3 before it gets removed.

@robthedude81

Which emulator are you having issues with?

@nazz2k said in Hotkey Issue:

I tried to look at the config for retroarch yet everything appeared normal.

Is this to mean that when you looked at your hotkey button assignments, they matched up to the known button codes of your controller? For example, did you compare the codes in the RetroArch config to the results of running jstest?

I really dont want to have to reflash my entire SD card again and set everything up yet again

One way to avoid this in the future is to make regular backups of your SD card, especially before any big changes are made. It has personally saved me from quite a few bad situations in the past. More on this can be found here if your interested.

@BuZz So I forced 720p mode using this:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2984/retropie-no-longer-booting-pls-help/2

And now I get the RetroPie boot screen, but then everything goes blank. Not sure what's going on. The monitor keeps coming on (blank screen) then detecting no input and shutting down.

@Danik Good to know it!

Just for curiosity: what are the names showed by the jslist tool when your various controllers are connected? Are the names differents?

@Riverstorm I'm also trying to get a "Golden Age of Arcade vide games" box up and running. Have you managed to get Dynablasters (aka Atomic Bomberman) up and running with 4 players? I bought 4 SNES USB controllers, that I'm hoping to be using for this. Any hints on that?

What PSU are you using ? Perhaps it's power related ? When you plug the non working one in, do you get any output in dmesg (type it in a terminal and see if it mentions the controller at the end)

@Dusty If you haven't done any config customization, go to the File Manager, and browse to the ROMS folder. There you'll find names of all the systems, nes, n64 and so on. There you put the roms and there will also be your saves.

Pi/roms/n64/Mario64.v64 the game
PI/roms/n64/Mario64.srm the save

@dabone said in Commodore VIC20 - ROMs:

Have you tried just using the mega-cart image?

I just use a single entry in my c64 menu.
I then launch a image of the megacart.

It has 99.9% of anything you want to run on the vic from a joystick driven menu.
And it works for either pal or ntsc emulation.

The command to launch is.

xvic -cartmega mega-cart.rom -mcnvramwriteback -mcnvramfile mega-cart.nv

I tried running this command while in xvic and got an out of memory error. Is this run on the rPi via ssh instead? (new to this emulator)

If you don’t have the nv file, I just created a blank file and let the emulator fill it in.

Create the mega-cart.nv blank file in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/c64 ?

@kcc406

I've seen you be helpful in the time you've been here. I found two examples and upvoted them. Just don't go spamming anything about diet pills and get me in trouble.

Yeah the problem occurred when I tried one of my SNK Joysticks, and it didn't detect the input. I had to hit ESC to cancel, and didn't have a keyboard. I realize now I can just reconfigure an existing controller to get out of the situation.

Thanks for the feedback!

@Flipp3rix said in PSX GAMES DON'T START!:

What is the stable version of retropie, where i can download it?

Seriously? https://retropie.org.uk/download/ you are joking right?

PS: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

I have got them working now, not sure what I did. Reset the system a couple of times made sure to configure the controllers. But it is working now. The only issue now is N64 games seem to not like multi player and the buttons are off.

@tipoto iI was reading you post and i was wondering if you could help me on this, or let me know if its even possible, I have a pi3 with an ipac i/o wil the roms running off a HDD, and would like to run leds on a emulator bases and it looks like your script will work but i am not sure where you loaded then in to and i am not sure if your code will would with my ipac.

Now I formatted my Sd card again and wrote the retropie image. I started the system and inserted the USB stick. I waitet for an hour and now all games are there, including dreamcast. Somehow it only works the first time. I think that's strange.

What am I doing wrong?
