@YFZdude Alright man you are the winner, I had been doing config edits all day yesterday and tried both HDMI-D ports during those edits, and at some point at the end of the night when I did the hdmi_group 1 and hdmi_mode 16 edits I did not test the cord in the primary hdmi-d slot as I had thought.
It figures the one edit I added in that actually works is the one I stopped testing both slots on.

I have the pi 4 in a case so remembering which slot was the primary was my user error.
What a nightmarish night for something so simple, thanks again to everyone in here that helped out. It runs in 1080p now.

Edit: The resolution to the problem was having the hdmi cord plugged into the primary slot (nearest the usb hub) on the pi 4. User error.

@ExarKunIv

lol no problem

You helped me get my set up for my controller and helped me with the keys ... i have struggled with this for 4 days lol ... glad it works and i hope others can see this and get the idea how it works :)

@smartroad said in No shader parameters?:

I'm guessing I have missed something or this just isn't supported with this version?

It should be supported, but I don't see any dotmask.glslp (preset), just the shader itself (.glsl) - are you sure you're not loading another preset, that includes the dotmask shader, and has parameters to adjust ?

@simpleethat if you install raspbian(pixel) on pi4 in retropie setup, then configure on desktop then when your done just play in retropie, I play from desktop for now cos my kids use some cheats.
Use keyboard to exit since or add your menu and press twice, but be careful not to enter a menu and get stuck, it happen to me and I reset my settings, hehe.

Good luck

Yes, it solved the problem.
thank you!

@mitu
it worked, thanks a lot.

I see! I'll play around with it, then.

@afcalan2307
If this fails then it's the game, or change the emulator, I had this issue with gba Metroid fusion.

cheats = 1 cheat0_desc = "faster leveling" cheat0_code = "12345678+0000" cheat0_enable = "true"

Old thread, sorry, but I can't seem to get WA2 to run past the title screen in pcsx-rearmed. It fades to black when I press start, then hangs. Is this a known issue? Can I fix it with specific settings? (I forced NTSC and 640x480, but that didn't fix it). I'll take slow battle music over this any day...

@Rated-R said in Lr-hatari it does not work:

I already delete retroarch.cfg, uninstall and install, then only works for a once, the second time I launch it backs to the emulationstation.

Please open a new topic, providing the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and a verbose log as explained in the topic. Don't bump old topics.

The Pi4 doesn't support the rotate_display parameter anymore - see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md. At some point, it was possible to use display_rotate=2 to flip the screen, but after a firmware update this year, this is also no longer supported.

There is some guidance on how to rotate the display on the Pi4 here or at a similar post here in the forums.

The page linked hints the power draw for the Sandisk to be below 3.5W, so it's not that much. If the disk draws 900mA during peak consumption, there's not much left to 1,200mA for the other 3 devices.
You can test by connecting all devices at once and performing some write intensive tasks on the SSD to see if anything disconnects. If that doesn't work, then get a powered USB3 hub.

Thank you very much

@ImArchimedes said in Rotating screen in emulationstation ONLY:

@Psynaptik I know this post is ancient but I was curious about the specifics or how you rotated attach mode. I'd read on a different thread that it should be done in the layout.nut file but using:

fe.layout.base_rotation = Rotation.Right

I gave this a shot but the screen hasn't rotated.

Also, did you end up installing the package with your install that already had emulation station installed or did you use one of the prebuilt images like the one from Floob?

Thanks a bunch!

You need to type fe.layout.orient=RotateScreen.Left;

or right depending on monitor

Also for games to rotate
Go to opt/retropie/configs/arcade and open retroarch.cfg. Above the #include line you should add...
video_allow_rotate = "true"
video_rotation = "1"

from the Retropie setup menu in EmulationStation enable Runcommand option

select a game to play ... press a button to enter the Runcommand menu and select a lower resolution for the Video Mode than you're currently running the game at.

@Edu281 said in How can I cancel my account?:

I will stop using retropie

I'll take that as a yes.

@youxia said in Dualshock controllers on 4.4 with 3B+:

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

The terminal emulator doesn't properly report its name. Try running export TERM=xterm before running the command. If that doesn't work, then use Putty to connect to RetroPie.

And please, don't bump old topics - you should have opened a new one.

THANK YOU @dankcushions !

Your pointer was half of the solution so let me write the other half in case anyone else searches for this answer.

Setting the resolution in the retroarch Options menu did not have any effect until I also turned on "Alternate render method" in the same menu. At that point all resolution changes took immediate effect (upon leaving the retroarch UI) and now this all works perfectly.

I will write up the rest of my method to launch rom-less system soon!

Thanks again.
