@mitu thanks! I figured maybe I needed to remove certain pieces and start from with new image. Before I do that let me see if I can see if I can generate the pishrink error again or find some
Notes I may have taken months ago. I do recall the error ultimately having to do with the external hard drive not having a certain access. I will try this tomorrow hopefully it will take me hours to run this again until point of fail. Part of me says to add more internal storage and try pishrink internally and not on External drive. I will also lookup what version Retropie I am running. Thanks!!

@scruss Thank you for your help.

Ah, OK.

I'm a noob to linux (Raspberry Pie) so i'll not be doing that anytime soon.

Thanks

Now I have it where if I delete .atari800.cfg and then start an Atari 5200 game it works fine. But then Atari 800 games get an error that the computer crashed. If I delete the .atari800.cfg and then launch an atari 800 game it works but I can no longer launch atari 5200 games as I get the blue screen and note pad error. I tried adding the items to my /opt/retropie/configs/atari5200 retroarch.cfg and such but hat has not positive impact. The only differences between the two .atari800.cfg are:
MACHINE_TYPE=ATARI 400/800 OR or Atari 5200
RAM_SIZE=48 or 16
When the 5200 works it has these:
ENABLE-NEW-POKEY=1 versus 0 when the Atari 800 works
STEREO_POKEY=0 versus 1 when the Atari 800 works

Note if I delete the .atari800.cfg in ~/ either type work the first time so it builds the proper file. I would like to be able to do this without having to delete the .atari800.cfg everytime I want to switch between 800 and 5200. Any ideas?

@cyperghost said in [Solved] How to bind a shell command to a hotkey? (raspi2png):

I'm the (proud??) owner of such a device but I prefer the Pie

What I meant - since you have one - maybe you can find an equivalent program to raspi2png for the Droid and be able to test it (not create one from scratch). Something like fbgrab or fbdump maybe.

@mitu

ah ok - should be fine now.

At the moment, MAME 2003-Plus has more advanced support for analog input devices. It is currently in testing, although after about six weeks the new analog input features have been tested by a fair number of users.

If you are willing to try with MAME 2003-Plus, please consider posting here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17766/mame2003-plus-hundreds-of-new-games-improved-input-features-new-bugs-now-with-runahead-support

Thankyou for the response looks like good progress has been made.

Thanks for the reply that makes sense. :)

Only the gl driver supports shaders, switching the video driver to sdl will not get you shaders. What shaders are you using ? What video card do you have - is it powerful enough to run those shaders ?

@Clyde
Sure u need to convert the file to smc with the game file too -

:)

@PittStone My mistake. You told about that. I just took information from here. There is no information about version, and is told about some free version.

I am still searching for native Linux solution...

i wanted to thank mitu and hhromic who helped me greatly, thanks to you 2 and thanks to the community!

@mitu Watch at around 1:43 and see what the floating muscle guy does when you shoot.

Here is a video I just recorded on my phone of what it does in RetroPie:

@thebarry1394 Thanks. It looks like somebody already submitted a request to be included in the upstream xpad project - https://github.com/paroj/xpad/pull/125 - so hopefully in the future it will be easily recognized, without manual patching.

@ironj679 Sorry we couldn't fixed your original problem - but I'm glad you managed to find a solution. I hope the upgrade to 4.4 was smooth and you managed to keep all you settings.

@ChristianG

Try this version of dragons lair 2

@CursedLemon Its going to vary by game, some games can run playable in 720p with the right emulator. But some games, like the zelda games, are not going to render above the n64's native res. You may get better performance overclocking the gpu but it wont effect the resolution.

I'll take a look at what mine does with the framebuffer and get back.
