MOD: I've split your post to a separate topic, resurrecting 2 years old posts is not the proper way to use a forum.

here's a couple projects I've done with an LED matrix marquee

RetroPie based ==>https://www.instructables.com/id/Vertical-Bartop-Arcade-With-Integrated-PIXEL-LED-D/

PC Based ==>https://www.instructables.com/id/Arcade-Machine-With-Changing-LED-Marquee/

Here's a guide for setting up this LED marquee and RetroPie ==>http://ledpixelart.com/files/retropie/ .

Runcommand onstart and onend is used here. When a new game is launched, a script runs which passes the rom name to the LED marquee software (http://pixelcade.org) which is then displayed on the panels. Both still image PNGs and GIF animations can be displayed by game.

This project also includes artwork that has been manually re-mastered for 128x32 for that classic 8-bit look. Disclaimer, I'm the creator for this project and sell these as kits.

@Dinsdale Your screenshot shows an error that happens during pairing in the Bluetooth setup - possibly a timeout during the process. Re-connection is handled by the OS, there's no RetroPie script involved afterwards - so I don't think that's the problem.

EDIT: you can try and pair the controller manually - see https://approxeng.github.io/approxeng.input/bluetooth.html, the Pairing with Bluetoothctl section).

Thankyou for the help, I hope I will be able to return it as the people blatantly lied to me saying they had tried it and it had worked well on retropie.

@drewjbx Isn't the script linked in the topic mentioned in the first post - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/347/background-music-continued-from-help-support ?

@vbs I see what you are saying. Easy and simple instructions. Only thing is for me is I have the "suikoden.bin" and "Suikoden.cue" but, there is no "suikoden.srm" anywhere on my PC. So how do I create those files or even locate them in retroarch? I been trying to figure something out but I am out of ideas. I am using Retroarch version 1.8.1 with the "PCSX ReARMed" and I also have the "Enable Second Memory Card (Shared) toggled on. Still nothing. What am I missing? I know this is a reply that's years from the OP but if you see this or anyone else does the help would be greatly appreciated

@top-specci said in Pressing the 2P hardware button also opening the MAME-Menu !?:

Will great if the MAME menu appear when pressing the Hotkey & 2P button (or any other key combination)

You should be able to setup a hotkey of sorts, or align it with the RA hotkey. Just press Enter on the TAB field and then one button followed by a second button in quick succession. Actually it could be 3 or whatever. You'll just need to make sure it's not a key combo that RA is using to avoid two "actions" happening at once.

@backstander I tried that didnt work as well. I have a feeling my SD card just isnt upto scratch.

I got myself a Pi 4b now with a 64GB micro sd card, the "dtparam=sd_overclock=100" and it works fine. Consider this case closed, cheers for all the input though guys :)

@mitu There is no modification needed at all you can use multi-switch --generic command to offer an easy setup.

@MaMikee Please install raspi-gpio at first with sudo apt install raspi-gpio command. There are tons of other possibilities available ;)

@BuZz said in Ubuntu 64 Bit do not find libraspberrypi-dev:

They are using a rpi4

Somehow I missed that :(.

Thanks all for your help. I found a good image for the Pi0 and dont have any problems now :)

Nice answers guys
Have got there (or have achieved somewhat for now) easier to focus on what looks confusing when one knows they are following the correct path

@sirhenrythe5th I think its because select & x does the retroarch menu so i was expecting it to be the same for the mame menu, but its not. No matter it works now!

@mitu Ah - thanks for this. Doesnt look like it is going to implemented any time soon

for me happens the same. what did you made to solve it?

Ok thanks for the reply. I will do that. Thanks

Press Start to open the Emulationstation menu, then use the Input Configuration entry to re-configure your controller.

@mitu oh well, mupen64plus performance is very poor on my pi zero (even overclocked) so I suspect lr-mupen64plus will be even worse so its probably not worth my time to dig to much deeper with it :)

@timmay No idea about that. I love the default theme and have only ever tried a few others before going back to the default one. It has everything I want.
