im having a similar issue but with advmame roms. I don't have any mame4all roms, but I'm guessing that our problems are similar. from what I am figuring out, it is a problem in the xml file.
you might have to add something like

<emulator binary="mame-mame4all" name="mame4all" active="Blue" inactive="DimGray" arcade="1" retropie="1" retropiebinary="mame4all" reference="arcade"/>

to your xml file.

Here is the link for others. Will test later.

E: Downgrading worked.

@snock it ia because of a bug in the raspi-config package, you need to update it to the latest version.

I know it's been a few days but finally found some time again.

I'm looking at my /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg

input_player1_b = "shift" input_player1_b_btn = "nul" input_player1_b_axis = "nul" input_player1_y = "ctrl" input_player1_y_btn = "nul" input_player1_y_axis = "nul" input_player1_select = "5" input_player1_select_btn = "nul" input_player1_select_axis = "nul" input_player1_start = "1" input_player1_start_btn = "nul" input_player1_start_axis = "nul" input_player1_up = "up" input_player1_up_btn = "nul" input_player1_up_axis = "nul" input_player1_down = "down" input_player1_down_btn = "nul" input_player1_down_axis = "nul" input_player1_left = "left" input_player1_left_btn = "nul" input_player1_left_axis = "nul" input_player1_right = "right" input_player1_right_btn = "nul" input_player1_right_axis = "nul" input_player1_a = "z" input_player1_a_btn = "nul" input_player1_a_axis = "nul" input_player1_x = "alt" input_player1_x_btn = "nul" input_player1_x_axis = "nul" input_player1_l = "space" input_player1_l_btn = "nul" input_player1_l_axis = "nul" input_player1_r = "x" input_player1_r_btn = "nul" input_player1_r_axis = "nul"

This is what's exactly in the file for the button mapping for P1 and when I go into Super Street Fighter alpha 2 it doesn't work. Made a rom specific cfg too and still doesnt work. Now here's the super weird part ... tried Star Fox 2 and controls seemed to work fine. Tried Super Star Wars and same problem as SFA2.

Edit: Also how do I go about reinstalling an emulator?

@mitu thanks i needed to add Pokemon Mini and Odyssey 2 since that is the only systems that are not in my emulation station but is on RetroArch. i ended up kinda getting my favorites problem solved. i just told it to only show my favorites and it showed the (USA, Japan, ect)

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

I remember a few posts back regarding the initialization - in RetroArch - of such controllers (see this issue for instance).

Try installing the xpadneo driver - github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo - and see if it makes a difference.

I want to start emulationstation on-demand, this is what I've come up with:

Emulationstation heavily depends on a terminal being allocated for it to work. It switches a lot between graphical and text-mode. So in "/etc/systemd/system/my-emulationstation.service":

[Unit] Description=my emulationstation [Service] User=pi ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/run-emulationstation Type=simple StandardInput=tty-force TTYVHangup=yes TTYPath=/dev/tty20 TTYReset=yes

Also, there's a bug that requires emulationstation to be started inside /home/pi, so in "/usr/local/bin/run-emulationstation":

#! /bin/bash # switch to same tty allocated in .service chvt 20 # cd to home cd /home/pi # run emulationstation in foreground process /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh

And for the curious: I want it to start when specific hardware is attached, specifically an 8Bitdo Zero Bluetooth Gamepad. So in "/etc/udev/rules.d/50-my-emulationstation.rules":

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTR{name}=="8Bitdo Zero GamePad", TAG+="systemd", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="my-emulationstation"

@fluffypillow Thanks man, and sorry again for the "double-posting", I'll answer you here

I did the workaround you told (put 'providers.gog.enabled: false" in settings.txt) and worked! Nice :D

I don't have much GOG games, but here's the list if you want

Aquaria / Bastion / Botanicula / Death to Spies: Moment of Truth
Mark of the Ninja / Gorogoa / Fran Bow / Grim Fandango Remastered
Hyper Light Drifter / Pan-Pan / Shovel Knight / Odallus: The Dark Call
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Hi,
I found this little tutorial, I was able to install RetroArch successfully, but not RetroPie.

@mitu @GoldManSex778

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner! The information always seems accurate when you're the one typing it! 🤣🤣

The screensaver displays videos just fine - I don't have an issue with black/blank screens. It is the game information it won't display. On my 3B+ I have set "Show Game Info On Screensaver" - ALWAYS and it displays the game name and system. On Windows it does not.

I should also mention that I'm using the Showcase theme on both my 3B+ and Win10.

Many thanks for the info on evdev. I thought it wasn't being used since evdev-joystick --l doesn't show anything, but the gamepad was being assigned to /dev/input/eventX

I ended up using this solution:

@mitu [UPDATE]
I ended up purchasing another class 10 sandisk 64 gb micro sd card and flashed the stock retropie Zero w image from the website. On boot - got the same result. I began to wonder if it was perhaps just the fact I was using a 64 gb card. So, I purchased yet another micro sd card, this time 32 gb. I’ve had no problems with it whatsoever. It’s been running like a charm!

@Clyde Well ifconfig works just fine in Debian Stretch / Retropie 4.4

I just tested it in the linux terminal. It also seems that ip addr works as well.

So doesnt matter which one will be used. Either one will do just fine. :-)

Thanks! That was the case.
Problem solved.

@sirdevin ceramic heatsink for the pi is .99 cents on ebay.

@mitu Saw some feedback on it in my searches..Thanks for confirming...
