In this case, I don't know why it's not working. It's possible that I've added something else besides the step I enumerated in my previous post, but I don't think so.

Hi,

Any news on adding sound support to the system view carousel and grid view in the 2.5 update?

I heard in a post that the sound tags was going to be overhauled?

Thanks in advance, love retropie!!!!

@mitu
The device setup I was thinking would be like this on the raspberry pi
USB1: Usb image boot, raspbian? smaller.
Micro-SDslot: unformatted new microsd (the target of the image write)
USB2: Usb microsd adapter (the source of the image write)

rpi-clone; and I thought I made it sound confusing.

@thelostsoul Thanks for giving me an idea of what might be wrong. Unfortunately, the only extra micro SD card I have is 16 GB, while the one in my pi is 32 GB. It's not really that big of a deal with the screenshots though, so maybe sometime in the future I'll get another sd card and try that out. Thanks for the help.

@KobeT Looks like a damaged SD card or improper power source - see https://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Coloured_splash_screen for reasons why this might happen and maybe try the config.txt modification suggested on the page.

Thank you @mitu , but the problem is still present.
Ich will put my experience to the other topic.

@Efriim perfect, it works! thank you

Well what kind of USB keyboard?

Just a wild hair, do you have the xboxdrv installed? It could be interrupting the connection.
Do you have any overlays enabled on the /boot/config.txt?

Are the lights illuminating for any of the devices?

@fiatfan
Semper fi.

@tribunal88 said in Upgrade to 4.4 without wiping disk:

Is there a way to do a "fresh" install without formatting the SD card?

Yes, but it's not recommended. If you'd like to try an in-place upgrade, follow the link above and create a backup of your card beforehand.

@JKimRX
Is it a keyboard with a Fn key? Make sure capslock and numlock are off, some of them have a Fn lock ya know. Also retropie uses UK default so it is a good idea to change now to US using raspi-config if you use that layout.

@Heartless
While the libreelec ppsspp version says it is updated to 1.8.0, it seems much the same as the 1.5.4 version we have. With all the same rendering issues and performance, I think most of the updates do not apply to the opengl renderer that we have.
There was the addition of only one new main setting, and the removal of two settings. Skip Frames by percentage of FPS or Numer of Frames. I can't say if it works or not, it seems to just skip frames the same way. The removal of the two hack settings, timer and stencil test.

It is probably up to the PPSSPP developers, who know enough about the emulator to update it for us. Though this may never happen.

Have you logged into the pi with this IP address before? Make sure you have the right IP address of the Pi.

Have you accessed any of the ssh config files recently? I've done this and made a typo rendering the configuration useless.

To find the ip address in four ways. With a keyboard plugged into the pi, press F4 and use the CLI to type in ifconfig you'll want to use the inet address of either the wlan0 or eth0 interface.

There is a menu option in emulationstation that will give the ip address most of the time.

And with windows you could type arp -a to check the arp cache for the address it will be one of the dynamic addresses of the associated interface.

Of course you want to make sure that it is connected, with ethernet you will know. With a router I guess you could log in to the router and check the ip address there.

You should start with ssh, when you get the right address I'll help with winscp.

@thellin1
You could create an m3u index to point to the iso files or even cue, bin or pbp files.

Legend of Dragoon (Disc 1).m3u contents: ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 1).iso ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 2).iso ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 3).iso ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 4).iso

This way there is no need to append the image, because the index is already there.

If you wanted to go the extra effort, you could create a folder for the game, and then make an m3u index for each disc. that way you will be able start on disc3 if the first entry in the index is disc3.

Legend of Dragoon (Disc 3).m3u ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 3).iso ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 1).iso ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 2).iso ./Legend of Dragoon (Disc 4).iso

Though additionally you would have to symlink all the memorycards to the same one.
make sure there is only the 1 memory card you want to keep and link to: "Legend of Dragoon.srm" and delete the others or else the links wont be made.
ln -s "Legend of Dragoon.srm" "Legend of Dragoon (Disc 1).srm" "Legend of Dragoon (Disc 2).srm" "Legend of Dragoon (Disc 3).srm" "Legend of Dragoon (Disc 4).srm"
provided those are the names for the m3u indices.

You could also use a program called PSX2PSP to convert and compress all of the discs into a single or individual PBP file that can be loaded in EmulationStation.

@Agustinb14 said in Controls don't work in retroarch or in console games:

I can't seem to be able to bind 2 different hotkey keys for my controls but that's ok. At least I can play now.

Only Player1 is able to access the hotkeys' functions - P2 cannot control them (including opening the menu). Glad you got it working in the end.

@DavidB21 oh okay that's good. I'm glad you found something that would work.

@dixeflatline
I think you could compile it for armv8a. How much memory does the switch have? You might be able to compile it on the switch.

@barbudreadmon
Yeah, it was the principality of it, saving and loading game specific options in a global config. I think I could not get either the macros or cabinet settings to work this way, rendering them beyond completely pointless. I think the actual cabinet settings for the retroarch core are saved in /roms/neogeo/FBA/ along with high score, and I don't know what was up with the macros.

@sirhenrythe5th
the pi4 with a arm cortex a73 and * TWO * videocoreIV GPUs. Comes with either 2gb or 4gb internal ram. Not really, I was trying to make a joke, not funny...

Record of Lodoss war, no longer crashes. It is a big hunk of lag art once you get top-side, there are a lot more enemies and polygons. Still playable, (I OC'd for this one)

Jet Grind Radio, with the option to turn off shadows in the GUI can get decent performance, but I imagine there are still those levels that run like butt.

TimeStalkers, The analog deadzone seems to have been fixed with the latest update, as well as the connection being able sync into play, which is great, I might find some time for this one.

@mitu Thank You! It works!
