Ah brilliant! I really appreciate the information and a huge time saver on future builds. I struggled a bit with understanding the Retroarch inputs/labels are fixed positions on the controllers that can be changed based on the selected inputs used when setting up your devices. I have it straight in my head but I still find it hard to explain. I appreciate this new information and it will be a huge time saver!

I figured it out, i accidently clicked install binaries and it seemed like it was reinstalling retropie, everything is ok now, nothing dissapeared, so no need to transfer everything back again.

thank you Herb, I am relatively new to this whole thing so when looking at these instructions he says that he "created a file" how was that done?

Awesome! Thanks!

@wetriner Ah, I do see it in there.

I had to set up the hotkey bindings and all the input1 bindings - even though the controller is set up in Emulationstation, it didn't propagate to the PSX emulator.

For mame hiscores it depends on what mame emulator you are running. lr-mame2003 supports hiscores but i haven't tested it yet.

well, it very much could happen in the fork: https://github.com/Herdinger/EmulationStation/issues

i suggest raising an issue here. my hope is that eventually retropie will adopt this fork, once it starts to have beneficial features.

@deadpool There's this section in the retroarch.cfg

# The maximum rate at which content will be run when using fast forward. (E.g. 5.0 for 60 fps content => 300 fps cap). # RetroArch will go to sleep to ensure that the maximum rate will not be exceeded. # Do not rely on this cap to be perfectly accurate. # If this is set at 0, then fastforward ratio is unlimited (no FPS cap) fastforward_ratio = 0

I don't know if this is a very healthy setting to be using, or how much it even effectively speeds things up. There doesn't seem to be a way to get the really zippy frameskipping fastforward that you find with a lot of pc emulators. At least, I haven't come across it yet.

Shameless Bump

Yeah, I use rpi-update to update my kernel. I guess I'm a little OCD that way. Thanks to the pointer on downgrading the kernel, I'll give that a try tomorrow.

There are problems with PS3 controllers crashing currently with the built in bluetooth - https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1360

RPI3 install is the same as the RPI2

the controls said to hit space-bar to start game and nothing happened, what do I do? Thanks for the link it was still really useful.

@davebtiller generally just read the documentation first as requested here and it will answer the majority of your questions before you have to ask:

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

The logs vary depending on what the issue is so it just depends.

Hi,

Perfect, thanks. Just before I read your reply I had stumbled upon it myself - I suddenly realised the script copies the gamelist.xml and images elsewhere (so I was looking in the wrong place), should have known that really.

I see you have updated the script already to remove though, cheers!

Just going to note this. I am using the BerryBoot version. Just grabbed the Berryboot image from the main site, chose the os Retropie 3.6 from other category.
I get much stabler overscan settings. And my screen is properly stretched to fit. Trying to determine which settings they are getting right will update you when I figure it out.

Are these hash not found errors because thegamedb is down?

If you're in a game, you can also press hotkey+Y and that should pull up the RetroArch menu where you can find the "inputs" menu and change the settings to enable the left analog stick to work the same way as your Dpad. If you go to the configuration settings within the same menu, you can set this to "save configuration on exit" and then any games you play on that emulator will have the left analog stick enabled.
