thank you kind sir

@dasfreak go to your config.txt and change "hdmi_group=2" to "hdmi_group=1"
Group 1 is CEA
Group 2 is DMT (no sound)

Sorry to resurrect and old thread but could you please @senkun post you're finding to the wiki? The more I can hide when I boot up the better.

Don't think it would be relevant in the retropie wiki as;

... I'm actually running attractmode instead of ES as the retropie frontend.

and what I did in addition to what the wiki has already covered very well was to pipe fsck messages away, not recommended. besides that, mostly to suppress the output from x/attractmode once it's running or when I exit and restart AM; which involved messing around with getty to hide the autologin/last login msgs, clearing MOTD, doing a .hushlogin, changing .bashrc, etc. I didn't really take notes and one shouldn't really be messing with those for retropie I believe.

as long as you have a splashscreen pic/video setup in retropie it boots very cleanly to ES doesn't it? you just need to follow the wiki to edit /boot/config.txt /boot/cmdline.txt and it will be clean all the way in except for the fsck msg.

Yes onboard. That you for the reference I will take a look.

You could move the downloaded_images folder to usb and create a symlink on the sd card...

Thank you!!!

Mine got recognized automatically by the default driver xpad(and xboxdrv), so I was just able to get it going using the emulationstation configure input option.

I'm not quite sure how you could get it working, easiest option I think is to make sure you've tried all possible ports so it's not a faulty port or something. Also, you could try it out on a pc to see if it's working or a faulty controller. I'm not sure this is the best advice, but it's probably something I'd check for myself if I had that problem.

As for the software and drivers, RetroPie should be fully equipped to handle most controllers plug and play, including the F310. So if you did anything really custom besides just flashing the stock image to sd card, it may be worth trying it out again with a stock install. I doubt this would be the reason, unless your install isn't recognizing any controllers at all.

@Columbo said in Using ROMs:

I didn't think it mattered which emulator was used because it was just a matter of whether a ROM with two disks could be used and I assumed that it would be the same for any emulator.

This statement makes my week! :)

Thank you very much for the quick response. I'll give that a try and I'll check out the link you posted as well. Thanks.

Yes. It will then be in PC Joystick mode.

Did you use this controlers on non-RetroArch emulators? (like pifba or mame4all)

@Riverstorm said in CPU governor and overclock threshold:

I believe it supposed to set the threshold to 60% utilization before overclocking where I think the default is 95%? I thought lowering it might make it a bit snappier. I was running Gauntlet Legends on N64 and through a Putty session I saw it kept downclocking to 600 several times just booting up and sitting at the intro screen.

might be worth experimenting with. use the command:
vcgencmd measure_clock
to measure GPU 3d clock speed in real-time

Thanks Dank, I tried the command but I must need to install a package? It gave me an error when I ran it.

That's ok as my technical ability is pretty low unless the output is pretty self-explanatory but even then I wouldn't know how to implement any changes beyond tweaking.

I think Buzz hit the nail on the head with what I was shooting for, unless there is more performance to be gained. ;) I suppose it's diminishing returns on performance vs. tweaking on what the Pi is capable of but Twitch's thread gave me hope that there are some good N64 games that are quite playable on the Pi 3.

Awesom - thanks!
