@mitu said in Cannot access the internet.:

@ignatius Then the problem is your Wi-Fi connection to the router. Assuming you get an IP address from it, check the Wi-Fi AP for any MAC based access rules or firewalls that might isolate/block your Pi.

First of all, sorry for the delay in replying. I had a brief hospital stint. I gave up on trying to resolve this. Instead, I just chrooted the Pi system, and installed everything that way. It's not exactly the best way to accomplish this, but it works.

@AlphaBetaPie I see no such message in genplus-gx code so i suppose those messages are handled by the frontend (retroarch). FWIW, Kronos and yabause are using the newer libretro api for disc control, while genplus-gx seems to still be using the older disc control api, if i had to guess the difference is probably related to that. Nothing i can do about. Are you sure your retroarch is up-to-date ?

@buzztea said in Problem with the video scaling Option in RetroArch:

I did the same.
However, if I save the "custom" option for video scaling under "save core overrides", then it works. If I now change the video scaling option in another game to "core provided" and then save it under "save game overrides", then the next time I start this game I also have the "coreprovided" setting. Strange...

that's right. the game override takes priority over the core override (otherwise game overrides would never be activated once you have a core override)

@theotherdan said in SN30 Pro - Lag Problem with the SN30 pro:

The issue with the case was no shielding on the USB3 chip (As per the RetroFlag support). If the SSD adapter was plugged into the USB3 port, there was a range of about 3 feet. When I used the USB2 port, it worked as expected.

I feel it is worth adding to this.
I recently bought a plugable bluetooth adapter to add to an older PC that didn't have built in bluetooth. The packaging specifically said to plug the adapter into a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 port to increase range.

I was puzzled by this but sure enough it is true. Here is a page that helps explain a little:
https://www.bluetoothandusb3.com/the-explanation

So best advice is to always use USB 2.0 ports for bluetooth, and possibly wireless devices in general when possible provided the device won't exceed the speed of a USB 2.0 port.

But nuts is pretty much where my head is at on this, yeah.

@Ashpool just to let everyone know, the author posted a revised file on that github site to fix this.
Nevertheless, appreciate everyone's attempts to help me with this. Cheers!

@sfriedrich the ps4 controller is supported. You can either use a micro usb cable or sync it up via Bluetooth. To do that, you have to put the controller into sync mode by holding the share and PS buttons down until the light on top starts flashing. Go to the retropie menu and then Bluetooth, and sync it up. It will come up as “wireless controller”, then just configure it as you would any controller in emulation station.
And no you don’t have to use a systems original controller. you can use any controller usb or Bluetooth , including ps3. Retropie makes a mapping for each emulator to use your controller that you are using. You just have to configure it in emulation station.

@genge094 said in keep getting stuck on one part of running retropie set-up script on raspbian:

@sleve_mcdichael thanks! I was able to get it to download on the full desktop OS but it boots into a black screen. I guess I would have to start a new topic for that one though.

Can you describe what you exactly did ?

@RAS123 said in A pi builder:

But I’m willing to pay for a build. Can you help

We cannot:

https://retropie.org.uk/about/legal/

The image we provide is Raspbian Lite with RetroPie pre-installed. Much of the software included in the RetroPie image have non-commercial licences. Because of this selling a pre-installed RetroPie image is not legal

We can help you with the software side of things, though. Start here:

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

Thanks everyone for the replies. You guys are super helpful. Got my
Pi400 today and very excited to set it up. I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions though. Thanks again!

@Davehhf said in EmulationStation crash when pressing x button:

How do I install emulationstation-dev?

RetroPie-Setup > manage packages > experimental packages > emulationstation-dev

TheGamesDB site is now back online, scraping should work again with this source in EmulationStation.

@JuanZt

Just stopped by to thank you. I've used your steps and was able to get my PS4 controller (not original) to work.

@windg I'm using both save states and game saves.

Reading up on the issue, this seems to be a well-known problem. If you attack a wanzer with the legs blown off, the game will freeze. Workaround is to enable the "skip battle animation" option, and spam the X button when you encounter this scenario. More here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/250588-front-mission-3/45417638

Haven't tested it yet; thought I would just leave this comment here for future googlers.

@SDKrt said in Sound gets slowly lost:

Is that enough?

Not really, I'm not sure which version you have installed or what emulator you're using (EmulationStation is only a front-end which launches the actual emulators for the game).

What game are you playing ? If you take out the amplifier and connect the audio directly to a headphone/speaker do you get the same problem.

@Drdave79 said in Mupen64plus-GlideN64 Control help:

It was just an observation that the non-next version, which apparently is no longer supported seems to work better.

No offence taken, and it's normal that is runs better, since the performance requirements are lower. This is why it's still available in RetroPie.

For who is interested, I have build Mesa 22.0.1, SDL 2.0.20 and EmulationStation from source code on latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite and all work as expected (Full KMS and other stuff)

@ZackPlonk said in Trouble re-connecting Nintendo Pro controller:

I'll set that up and report back on how it works out...

@eberhab 's script works like a charm and my pro-controllers are now happily reconnecting to the RetroPie system after they have been used with the Switch

Thanks for your help!
