BTW it's like I'm hitting F12 using the right dpad button. :/

@barbudreadmon Interesting. Following from earlier, I've just switched to mame2003 and it kicked out a .nv which I've opened and I've been able to identify the first three scores 32199, 30000 and 30000.

The daft thing is, the bytes look very similar to the decompressed bytes I got from the .fs file, if I took half the preceding zeros off. I think I was nearly there. Here's the decompressed bytes from the fbeno .fs file on the left and the .nv file from mame2003 on the right

Rather enjoying this, but this image keeps popping into my head.

Re: How are .fs files created?

OK, so I've nailed the .nv that mame2003 created, but going to try and nail how the data I've decompressed form the .fs file is structured... so close I can taste it.

@barbudreadmon thank you, I did end up remapping the controllers.

@Crush Thanks - I'll try that :)

@dtkoh said in Retropie 4.8 stucked in endless messages loop:

I have no idea why this is happening.

Looks like your Pi has been compromised (if you didn't change the default password for the pi user that's pretty easy) and someone added some scripts that are running automatically and brute-force various network addresses on the internet, hoping it would succeed in compromising them also.

Re-install from zero with a new image, don't expose your Pi to the internet directly and change the default password for the pi user to something non-trivial (before connecting it to your WiFi/Lan).

@Crush said in Request: update pcsx2 install script to show CHD:

(PS: Is this the right place to make such requests?)

Yes, thanks for bringing this up, we'll add the extension to the ps2 system.

@Crush said in Redream on x86_64:

@sleve_mcdichael would it still help you if i test that now that @BuZz will fix the tags?

Buzz will probably take care of it but it might get you up and running sooner if you don't want to wait for the fix to push through. I think 64bit is probably is the right flag to use here; looking at the other modules it's only used a couple of times, but it is used outside this particular module, while x86_64 is not (not as a module_flag, anyway. Its use for other things like as a platform identifier in this same module is still fine, I think.)

@sleve_mcdichael
I fix it by manual editing retroarch.cfg in all and psx, nes, snes etc.
I needed to have saves in saves/snes, saves/snes/snes making a conflict with rclone.

I bought the machine pre-configured and don't have the ability to login directly to the Raspberry Pi.

Then ask the seller for support, we don't support systems sold with RetroPie - see https://retropie.org.uk/about/legal/.

After trying different types of level shifters I found no fix for the random mistakes for the button presses. The issue looks to me the select lines are misinterpreted. It is a mistake in the input, not a random false press.

The presses not showing mistaken in jstest. There are references where gamecon_gpio_rpi lists that there are issues with Gamecube and N64 controllers due to variations in timing due to cpu frequency changes or such. I get these "incorrect" presses when in scrolling through to select games, I get them usually just a couple seconds into a game launching. They may be slightly different between controllers.

At this point, without any input on something else to look into I am unfortunately giving up on using db9_gpio_rpi for the Genesis type controllers. I would love to be able to use it, it is a very nice feature to have and my setup was design specifically to include two db9 ports.

I am going to try to see if mode 3 "Multisystem 3-button joystick" mode will work reliably. It will give me some use of the db9 ports. I do have a Multisystem 2-button joystick, but it is not registering the second button press, I makes me wonder if the logic is backward from the C64GS 2 button? That will be my next thing to look into.

For the Genesis 6 button controller I guess I will use a
DaemonBite-Retro-Controllers-USB adapter. I wanted an integrated solution though.

It's the emulator (lr-retro8). Masters of the Universe is already reported as non-working and I guess other games may have the same issues (either loading or during emulation).

Best to use the official Pico8 simulator and configure it in EmulationStation to launch the games with it (see this topic for an example configuration).

@mitu,

Oh yes you're right, if I go down to the directory I can see the images...

Thanks..

@obrie572 The modifications have been merged by @pjft, so they they should be available in the -dev branch right now, until promotod to the stable branch.

Thanks again for the bug report and the fix!

@BuZz
Yes it is.
Thank you very much.

@KpCollins hi, could I ask you to try with the scraper I'm developing?
https://github.com/zayamatias/retroscraper
It should be working with dragon 32, although I have not tested it, so some testing would be appreciated.

Thanks!

*** Edit: just tried myself and it took less than 2 minutes to scan +530 ROMs, +400 succesfully found and video/image downloaded...

I think the hid_nintendo driver works for USB connected gamepads, but it seems your controller is not 100% compatible with the Switch Pro Controller and the driver doesn't add the device.
You can check if the controller is properly initialized by running via SSH:

dmesg -w

and then re-plugging the controller. There will be some messages from the driver - if there are errors, then it means it's not working properly and the input device doesn't get added. If that's so, then I'd get a different controller, one that's advertised of working with a PC also - not just the Switch.

I was able to fix this issue. I tried a third television that it worked on. I guess retropie didn't like the refresh rate or resolution on my monitor originally? I was able to set the settings via the other TV and now everything works fine on the intended monitor.

@BadFurDay Sort of...

I tried compressing to mp3 with scummvm_tools and it does play, but the quality is terrible (not only in lr-scummvm, but everywhere). I guess the format is slightly different and scummvm_tools isn't completely compatible. [EDIT: But I only tried once. Might be worth trying to compile scummvm tools from source or try on a different system...]

It seems that Talkie Builders can't create mp3 version directly (but maybe I overlooked something).

EDIT EDIT: Talkie builders can create mp3 versions and they work and sound great.
