the numbers are dynamic. It sounds like you have updated to retropie 4.x in which case you need to install it from drivers first as mentioned by @edmaul69

@BuZz said in Using composite video, can't see everything on the screen.:

Please try with disable_overscan=0 (or comment the line out) and enable overscan_scale=1 then adjust the overscan left/right/top/bottom

also note your gpu_mem=320 won't have any effect, as the gpu_mem_256, gpu_mem_512 and gpu_mem_1024 values override it.

Thanks for the tip, that did it! :)

Hm... It seem that the screen can not be configured the same way as with the other raspberries. I tried 3 times and the method does not work. When I type in ls /dev/fb* I only keep getting

/dev/fb0 when I should also be getting /dev/fb1. Without that the screen won't work. I worked fine on pi2 but on the zero I can't seem to get fb1 to show up.

@edmaul69 said in Atari 2600 with SNES controller woes:

i might make a thread one day showing all the cool raspberry pi mods i have done.

I'd like to see that.

Edit: My mistake.
You can add -version to your "commands" file temporarily.

If your commands file is lair.commands it's probably rev F2.

@dankcushions Oh hell, well now I feel dumb. Thanks for the help, it works like a charm!

Awesome! That worked :)

Thanks

Thanks @nschloe ! I just came across this now as I was looking for the thread again

I've noticed audio problems with Retropie as well. I recently switched to a fresh install of 3.8.1. I haven't really thoroughly tested it but the emulator in question is PSX. I seem to be having a hard time with it mainly. For some reason only certain games load. But I was testing a game and when I exited to test another game there was no sound. I exited again and tried another game and still no sound. So I rebooted and audio was working again.

You got the error if you launch a .sh-file?
Edit es_systems.cfg with sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and search for the PORTS Section
There you will find <command> section
simply add bash so it looks <command>bash

It happens if you use FAT filesystems for storing games on a USB-stick

If not then check owner and permissions in roms.... owner is user pi

...fresh ROM for AstronBelt has it working better. Enemy craft shooting again, collision detect working. Only bad thing is that when the "disc" is changing scene I often get a flash of an explosion out of context for what's happening in the game. I tried deleting the DAT file and re-parsing the files but no joy. If anyone has any experience of this and fixing it, I'd appreciate any pointers.

Strangely Galaxy Ranger seems spot on.

@Parzival This could be quite easy. I have done it with basic audio amps to send music from a phone to a speaker project. Not done it with a Pi but no reason why it wouldn't work. Just buy a USB Bluetooth dongle from eBay for less than £5 and plug a jack lead from the pi to the USB dongle. It can now pair so the audio out from the jack can be transmitted. Use a spare USB socket for a power source for the dongle.

I wouldn't use Mario all stars as your test - it has a very specific issue that might be making you think you have a wide problem: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#does-super-mario-all-stars-work

@Riverstorm
Thanks for you reply. I read the post also.
I wouldnt be so pushy if I didnt know that the new controller (1967) works with the recalbox... But i uses it everyday with recalbox..

Thanks anyway

@mediamogul Ah, interesting, thanks for that - will make finding a machine much easier

Ok I tried it and it fixed my problem,Thanks :). But with one problem came another, my pi "actively refused the connection". Do you know anything about that?
