This is not a ROM/game sharing site - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules.

That being said, there's a handy topic that it might be of help - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10918/where-to-legally-acquire-content-to-play-on-retropie.

@DieKatz This might be a tad out there as an idea, but maybe you could write a script to call omxplayer before the Rom loads? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7009/auto-play-video-before-loading-rom/6

That way you could run the video file, then the game starts to play? Messy but something to explore as a solution.

Based on your reply, I deleted and recreated the container and installed RetroPie immediately afterwards. It worked! It's installing now. I'm guessing there was some other package conflict with another app installed. Thank you for your help.

@mitu That's how I originally started out and it didn't work. I have weeks of work into this image now and don't want to wipe it out on a whim until I know that every avenue has been explored. And as I said earlier, it's happening on multiple different images.

I think @quicksilver might be right. On the PC, the actual start-up is done via $HOME/.config/autostart/retropie.desktop. Modify it and add a delay before emulationstation starts

[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -e "sleep 5 && emulationstation" Hidden=false NoDisplay=false X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name[de_DE]=RetroPie Name=rpie Comment[de_DE]=RetroPie Comment=retropie Icon=/usr/local/share/icons/retropie.svg Categories=Game

this actually has been solved, follow the steps exactly here, and you'll fix that SDL2 error. i had the same thing and this fixed it.

@mitu Thanks will do!

I was having a similar issue to you and i converted my files to PBP files. It saved a lot of space and made getting images easier (without any duplicates)

@mitu Like I said, I already checked. That was the first thing I tried.

Ok so this is solved. The good news is at least as far as I can tell the Sanwas don’t go bad after only a year of use. This was a wiring issue with some of the connections I made between the five wire harness and the wires to the usb encoder coming loose, ironically and randomly several at a time. I don’t always supervise the kids’ use of the arcade so it is also possible this wasn’t REALLY random, maybe one of the kids was particularly rough or lifted up the control panel lid and pulled some of the wires. All fixed up now! Now I have a few extra Sanwas for spare parts though! (Only figured out it was a wiring issue once I installed the new joysticks and problem was still occurring...)

Sorry for the extreme late reply! In reference to my original issues, I got the controller issue fixed (Yay!) but my other problem remains in that I cant get Beavis and Butthead to load from the start. From my last post, I discovered that the game does in fact run properly IF I load a save file from it, however, I get booted back to the main EmulationStation screen if I try to start a game from the beginning. Here are the contents of my runcommand file:

When I try and start a new game and get booted back to the main screen, this line of text briefly shows up...

*** Error in `/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm': double free or corruption (out): 0x7ee9b2d0 ***

Any ideas, thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

@lokidod já fiz isso e o snes9x não reconhece os controles

@DKarn No problem, there's no rush. Try other values for the Audio Card setting. Did you happen to notice what are the settings for your friend's installation ?

Sorry for being vague.

The games go through the usual runcommand launch menu, then black screen, then back to games list.

The runcommand log for a nes game look like this:

Parameters: Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Metroid (USA).zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

And for a PSX game look like this:

Parameters: Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Alundra.PBP" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg Memcard 2: disabled Starting PCSX-ReARMed Running PCSX Version 1.9 (May 28 2019). psxMap: warning: wanted to map @80000000, got 0x6f50a000 Init new dynarec testing if we can run recompiled code.. test passed. warning: RAM is not directly mapped, performance will suffer Mapped (RAM/scrp/ROM/LUTs/TC): 77000000/1f800000/1fc00000/08000000/7018f000 found BIOS file: SCPH101.bin RGB565 supported, using it plugin: plugins/builtin_gpu plugin: plugins/builtin_spu plugin: plugins/builtin_pad plugin: plugins/builtin_pad Plugins loaded.

Both these games work on a fresh mount, but not on my current library.

Thanks.

@quicksilver you're right in Mame2003+ simply open the Retroarch Menu/GUI > Quick menu > Settings (not Controls indeed) and head for the Control Mapping setting. Change the value either to Analog (left stick) or Digital (Dpad). Thanks for the tip as I completely missed that opion!

Thanks for the tip @dankcushions. This was driving me insane. I'll update from source when Mario Kart 64 misbehaves from now on :)

@mitu okey

All good! Sorted out the .cfg as suggested, and it all works great. Thanks again for all of your help with this!
