OK, here are some final words:

I tried reinstalling Daphne and Ports emulators, which did nothing I wiped the SD card and started over.

After that, I attempted an experiment: with the RPi shiny and new, I changed the resolution with Raspi-Config and rebooted. The EmulationStation never came back. Apparently, in my case, changing the RetroPie resolution is a death sentence. For any reason, you'll never see your ES again.

Case closed.

@alphabetapie 'quick menu' isn't enough info but i suspect you mean quick menu > options? in which case: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Core-Options/

Yup, found it. Was in the retroarch-core-options.cfg. Thanks again! Always a super-helpful forum!

@dreamcastkid hi! Sorry i late i dont know what i do but i update the version of retropie and i instaled all the scripts again and is work now

@donut-0 please provide the info request here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - including a verbose log for this crash

@jorgejohnson72 https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms

@mitu Thanks for your reply. So I guess I'm stuck then and will need to get some of those I pac boards. Any recommendations on the type I need for the setup to work correctly? I haven't looked into them yet but noticed there were a few options to choose from. Many thanks

@daragon said in Intel NUC 8i5BEK:

EDIT3 (and the last): NEVER and NEVER run an emulator using sudo command, that's why I could not properly configurate my controller - Retropie runs emulators without sudo I suppose...

Ah yes, this might make some sense after all. If you ran it with sudo the first time, the configuration file probably got saved with root ownership or permissions. Then when it runs as the regular pi user from ES, it doesn't have ownership or permission to edit the file most likely. I've seen the Windows version of this snafu before.

@barbudreadmon Yes, the problem was the hiscore.dat file. It turned out that instead of the actual file I did download the github html page containing the file.
Thanks.

Wanted to say THANKS for the "menu_enable_widgets" fix and to share some more info.

First, it was interesting that ROMs were fine and that ATR disks were all failing.

I tracked down the segmentation violation in the /dev/shm/run command.log:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1283: 31257 Segmentation fault /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-atari800/atari800_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/atari800/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari800/Mule.atr" --verbose --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

I took a look at line 1283:

eval $COMMAND </dev/tty &>>"$LOG"

All this is doing is running the right command, explicitly getting input from the tty, and tying file descriptors to the log.

I ran the command from the console and it worked fine without redirecting STDIN/STDERR. It also worked fine just redirecting STDOUT (fd 1). But every time I redirected STDERR (fd 2), I got a segmentation violation.

Not sure what exactly the widgets have to do with this, but apparently they do. If anybody wants a strace of this I would be happy to provide.

I hope this is helpful, and again, thanks for the fix!

@chameleon1977 Maybe you can try amiberry instead of uae? It’s great and is in active developement. Can really recommend it. Also, if you have access, try WHDLoad files (lha) rather than ADF. it’s really easy and works great with amiberry and retropie.

@headrush69 Thank you sssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooo much headrush!
I have spent the last 2 days digging for this!!
My volume knob, It WORKS!

I literally created an account here just to thank you!

@tuomaspap Sorry for the delay, I never expected a reply. I was able to get it through the wayback machine. I've gone ahead and found a link on github for the pi4, hope it works!

@jedcooper where you looking for the override? please also provide a verbose log and the other info requested here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@losernator thanks for the response.
It seems to work.

@Chameleon1977

To know where it is going wrong try to check your log in :
/dev/shm/runcommand.log

@mitu. To clarify, I meant the version I am running - not that the file originally came that way.

Not exactly a problem, just excess from my learning/stumbling through, and wanting to clear out the clutter.

I was able to get my USB headset to work.

First I changed from mame4all-pi on RetroPie 4.5 to lr-mame2000 on RetroPie 4.7.1 because I learned mame4all-pi doesn't have an option to rotate the display and my objective is to play classic vertical arcade games on a vertical (rotated) monitor.

Second I created /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (using sudo vi) containing:
options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_bcm2835 index=1
options snd slots=snd_usb_audio,snd_bcm2835
(leaving dtparam=audio=on in /boot/config.txt)

This reorders the "cards" so the USB headset is card 0, hdmi is card 1 and PWM is card 2. What I found is dtparam=audio=off still configured the USB headset as card 1 for whatever reason and I didn't get audio. After reordering it worked without any other modifications (although ES gives an error about unable to set volume, which is probably just a minor configuration tweak).

If you explore the rom psx folder, you should see a .srm file for the game, this is the memorycard file. The memorycard file will load if it matches the name of the rom that is loaded e.g. LSSS(Disc 1).srm, LSSS(Disc 2).srm. You could change the name of the .srm file to match whatever disc you're loading, or you could make a .PBP archive or .m3u playlist in place of starting the discs separately.

PSX2PSP will make a pbp archive. Usually only have to load both discs into the program.

Search for .m3u playlists in Retropie help should find a tutorial of how that works.

If you make a playlist and don't want the original .iso/.bin/.pbp to appear as duplicates in the game list then it takes some extra work but you can change the essettings.cfg or change the filename of the .bins to include a "." (period) at the beginning of the file name, this will denote the hidden file attribute in linux, you would then need to change the filenames in the .m3u playlist appropriately to include this.

@chupachups Damn, that's a shame that never got sorted out. Thank you.

@mitu I got it... Thanks!
