@mitu said in Custom Collections Not Showing Games/Roms:

If your collection ROMs are not part of an existing system, they won't show up. So if you created a roms/cps1 folder and put the ROMs there, then created a collection with the filenames of those ROMs, that won't work.
EmulationStation needs to know that roms/cps1 is a system, you probably had - in your previous build - cps configured as such.

If that's not your exact setup, then you should post the configuration files for EmulationStation's system list and the custom collection you've created. And it would be nice if you added the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, just to know what version of EmulationStation/RetroPie we're talking here.

@mitu Thank you for your reply and I apologize for missing the other information. As soon as you mentioned the es_systems.cfg file was the moment I realized "yup, that's not there". All is good with this build now. Arg I knew it was going to be something silly.

i feel stupid, thanks alot

EDIT: wow performance is absolute garbage, how can this be, i looked in some forums, and everybody is like "oh you need dual core" dude i have a quad core 3.4 Ghz i7? Is it the settings or is it ubuntu itself?

Something I can do?

As @Thorr69 said, right now the PI4 model is not fully supported by RetroPie. If you flashed a Pi2/3 image, it won't work on the Pi4.

You can manually install RetroPie on the PI4 following the Manual installation guide. Support for this new model is ongoing and if you're just starting with RetroPie (or Linux), then is best to wait until an official release that supports the Pi4 will be announced.

Found an issue with source code. Pull request are pending.

Ok thanks

Wow! I am literally blind how did I not see that when I looked in the config before...

Thanks so much! This works perfectly!

How can I get it back?

Probably by re-installing it - https://github.com/thebezelproject/BezelProject.

@pieguy123 said in Flycast and Reicast not emulating Capcom Vs SNK 2 correctly for character select screen:

I’m running the Japanese version.

I'm running the JP version (http://redump.org/disc/43772/) is there an US version ?

Update:

Updated the RetroPie-Setup script and all OS packages and restarted the Pi. This got the Bluetooth to connect (unreliably, it still fails to register about 1/4 of the button pushes I make). Frame rates are still very poor but I think that might just be the state of RetroPie on Pi 4 at the moment.

@muldjord I will give this a go to see if I can find out what is going on.
Either that or I will manually edit the files with the correct revision names from my previous scrapes.

Appreciate the help @muldjord and @mitu

Thanks

There isn't one - basically if you pair it to a device, it will stay paired to that particular device. If you want to move it/connect it to a different device (PC/Pi/PS4), you'll have to do the pairing again.

So apparently I'm an idiot. Following the guide over at Reddit, I missed one thing. I had the mini-hdmi cable plugged into the second port and not to the port closest to the power supply. Looks like everything is working now.

@RGCTech As I said, support for the Pi4 is ongoing and some bits might not work or function as they were on the previous PI models.

Try leaving aside the resolution change, since it's not currently not added to runcommand on the PI4. Use the native display resolution - which you can set it manually to 1080p if it's not automatically detected by using raspi-config from the RetroPie menu.

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

What's the content of your config.txt file ? Post it here in the topic, surround by code tags (add ``` before and after the text, on separate lines).

@mitu Cool! Thanks a million for that I appericiate it. Yeah the wonder of Chineseum arcade controller sets from Amazon... every time the keyboard encoders are ever so slightly different with some showing as something like Micronek (Microtek) and some as Dragon something.

Thanks again

@psytron said in Raspbian Buster - retropi install on os - retropi crashes when turn controller off.:

I should have pulled the latest before running the script

Support for Buster (and the Pi4) has been slowly been tested on the development branch, which recently was merged to the main repository. There still might be some quirks, but you should be able to install from binaries (without re-compiling).

@VictimRLSH You have my sympathies. Such problems are one of the reasons I try very hard to avoid anything that needs online activation of any sort.

@RpiBeginner just wanted to point out that your screenshot is 'aplay -l', and the instructions say 'aplay -L'. You need the capital L option to get the right output. That will allow you the correct name of the audio card.

Each audio card has one or more audio mixers (audio devices) on the audio card. Emulationstation needs to know which audio mixer to use on the audio card when you do the volume up and down. To find that out you need to use 'amixer scontrols -D <AudioCard>', where <AudioCard> is replaced by the name of your audio card you got in the previous step. I know from your screenshot that your audio card is set to the 'default', so you should run 'amixer scontrols -D default'. That command should show you the correct name of the audio mixer on your 'default' audio card. It will most likely be called 'Digital' or something like that. Please note that you must copy the name exactly as it is printed.

Those two commands above will give you the settings you need.

The first command gives you the name of the audio card you select in emulationstation, which is 'default' (based on your screenshot).

The second is the name of the audio mixer (audio device) on that audio card, which you'll need to run yourself to get.

That would be all you need to get around for most things... Except video sounds. RPI uses OMX player to play the sounds from video files, and they need a third setting! This setting looks different again from the ones we got earlier. The format is:

'hdmi:hw:0,0'

That setting will use the first mixer on the first audio card for video sounds. If that setting doesn't work then you should try 'hdmi:hw:0,1', which will use the second mixer on the first audio card.

Hopefully that will give you all the information you need right there. Remember that if you cannot select the setting directly from within emulationstation you can add the setting directly to the es_settings.cfg itself . Please see the instructions page I linked to earlier for more details if you need to do that.

Hope this all helps! Good luck.
