I solved the issue.

If anyone else has this problem, you need to make sure which WM you're using. Apparently if your WM is Wayland, and RetroPie tries to use X11 to run the game, it won't work. Disabling Wayland solves this particular issue. To do so do the following:

sudo /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Find

#WaylandEnable=false

And uncomment it by changing it to

WaylandEnable=false

Save, exit, and reboot and Ubuntu will use X11 instead of Wayland and that solved the problem for me. I'm not sure that this is a common problem, and I'm not entirely sure how I ended up using Wayland, but if anyone else has this problem the solution will be here.

That's it, thanks.

Yes, they should work fine.

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

The system won't take the BIOSes also when I put in games it only accepts the .cue files.

Yes, EmulationStation doesn't list the .bin file, though the game needs them. So if you copied just the .cue files, that's not going to work. A CD image has both a .cue and - at least - a .bin file.

What are the names of the BIOS files and where did you copy them ?

Does PCSX no longer work? Can anyone help me? I'm new to this so please explain to me in easy ways

pcsx-rearmed is not compatible with the Pi4. I suggest to start with the Gettig started page from the [Docs][https://retropie.org.uk/docs/] to familiarize yourself with RetroPie, then take a look at the PS1 page from the same docs, to check if your BIOS files are named correctly.

@MultoBene you are trying to mount an image file to drive "2". It's expecting a letter like "d" not a number. You might look into using a .conf file instead for launching your ROMs. I'm not 100% sure if they work with lr-dosbox. Lr-dosbox had extremely poor performance last I tried so I haven't messed with it very much.

@bryan617 said in Nested ROM folders and box art:

Is there any way to have the box art for NES and SNES show up without taking the ROMs out of their nested folders and placing them directly in their system folder?

Short answer - no. The folder doesn't have box art, so it's normal you're seeing the boxartonly when entering the folder and looking at the actual ROM.

This worked well. :)

I commented out the back button mapping in es_input.cfg.
I used Notepadd++ to inject <kidgame>true</kidgame> on the line just before </game> for each entry in the gamelist.xml.
I set ES to start in the arcade system.
I set ES UI Mode to Kid.

The only buttons that now work are Launch (A), Random (X), Page Up (L) and Page Down (R). Connecting a keyboard (already mapped) or exiting Kid mode gives me full UI control again.

This is the solution I have been looking for all along! :)

@mitu due https://github.com/pimoroni/Picade-Sketch/blob/master/Picade/Picade.ino i think it's pretty time consuming reconfigure the hardware due the picade-hat is recognized as a keyboard. I just changed forcing the value : input_movie_record_toggle into /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to be not 'o'.

Thanks old post. I was stumped for days. Tried this method and works! Thank you!

@mitu said in No HW Acceleration Manual Installation RPi 4 (v4.6):

are you sure you've

I know that it feels strange, but I am sure. You can tell by the prompt "pi@raspberrypi" (Raspbian Image + Manual Installation) vs. "pi@retropie" (Pre-built).

Then I don't know what could be the cause. As I said, the RetroPie image is basically a mint Raspbian Lite over which a RetroPie installation is performed.

You still helped me find a workaround, which I am very grateful for that. Thanks again for your time and support :)

@Arsonist then the login details should work. Make sure you spell raspberry correctly (easy to typo). But you're probably running a Raspbian Stretch based image (which is unsupported upstream and will be by retropie also in the future) so might be a good time to start from a fresh image.

The package is downloaded from redream.io, which seems to have connectivity problems at the moment, so the package download/query hangs.

Did you try changing it in the Core Options ? Open the RGUI with Hotkey + X and use the Options menu to change the setting.

Hey dank, thanks for the heads up; I kinda figured they would be, yeah. I'm just using them as a basis to create my own such that the screen gets positioned right, ie. for the x and y values. I certainly wasn't gonna just lump them all in there.

While I'm here, did Naomi get borked in the last few weeks? Suddenly the ROMs I have for that don't work (since I had to reimage I mean).

You know what, never mind, forgetting so many things already done several times over: BIOS!

@mitu alright thanks ill give that a shot

@dudleydes said in Jetpac on ZX Spectrum:

@Yorick According to World of Spectrum, Jetpac runs on a 16k machine. By default, lr-fuse, which I assume is you are using, runs the the 128k machine - you will see the line fuse_machine = "Spectrum 128K" in the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg.

If you change to 48k machine type in the RGUI, then Jetpac will run. Now this will be a pain to change between 48k and 128k machine for newer games that require the extra memory.

This is my solution. It may be not be optimum but it works.

In the folder /opt/retropie/configs/all/, create a text file called retroarch-core-options-fuse48k.cfg and add the following line:

fuse_machine = "Spectrum 48K"

Now we need to make sure Jetpac uses the 48k machine so in the ZX Spectrum roms folder, create a text file called Jetpac.tzx.cfg. The file name must match the tape so you may have to amend. In this file, add the following line:

core_options_path = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options-fuse48K.cfg

Save and Jetpac should now run. If you take a look at retroarch-core-options-fuse48k.cfg after launching Jetpac, you'll notice RetroArch will have added extra lines. It's best to leave these.

For any other games that run a 16k machine such as Deathchase, all you need to do is copy the cfg file and rename it so that it matches the tape.

Hello Dudleydes,

Apologies for digging this post from it's grave, but I'm struggling trying to get your fix to work for loading 48K Roms in LR-Fuse? Is there any chance you could give me some guidance?

Unfortunately no success, I had already disabled the hybrid filter, and lowering the resolution even to 720x480 had no positive effect.

@BGallagherLA I've just watched your videos . Those are really nice! The main point is you can play "nice and soft" on RBPi4.
If you check my streamings out you'll see the results are the same as yours. But unfortunetely unplayable on RBPi3. See you on Twitch!
