vice-64 works great for me on the RPI, played many games with it. I change the keyboard to positional instead of the default symbolic but I don't do any "remapping". I just use a bluetooth keyboard.

See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#why-emulationstation-doesnt-start-automatically-after-an-update. Fix your auto-login and then reboot, it will work again.

Hi. Thanks for advice. I ended up downloading mame32 and launching from laptop connected to the tankstick. It is working! The only issue is there is echo from the commentators. From what I understand I need a more powerful (3.5 ghz or more computer).

Can't support that image as it's a 3rd party one. They should open their own forum really. Not a big fan of it tbh as it's a bit of a hack, and they don't feed back anything to our project.

@raulitob You can try changing the scraper source - try screenscraper as the source.

I have a similar issue:
Having 2 PS 3 controllers, yesterday I performed sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
After that, the controllers still paired, however auto-logon failed.
Then I chose to update all packages from the Retropie setup.
After that I rebooted, and then the controllers didn't pair anymore.

I will roll back to my last image, anyway I think some mess was being built into the latest update components. Obviously I'm not the only one having logon and controller pairing issues after the recent updates...

We don't support 3rd party images - as noted in the rules and https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Please use the official image from retropie.org.uk/download.

@NeoDude Not a mistake, but it seems something is missing. Do you have OpenGL acceleration working ?
Have you used Ubuntu's installer or did you manually install the driver ? I'd recommend using the Ubuntu's PPA packages to install the drivers or the Ubuntu package management app (Software center ?).

@daybob Please open a new topic instead of resurrecting 2 years old topics. A lot has changed since the original topic. Please also add the information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your support topic.

@asici2 Yes, the feature is only available for lr-fbalpha.

FBA is optimised for Capcom fighting games so lr-fbalpha is the recommended arcade emulator for the Street Fighter games. You will need to find a new romset as lr-fbalpha uses a different one to MAME. More info at: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FinalBurn-Alpha/

@dudleydes "Select" eventually inserts a coin for all roms. However, I have to push a bunch of buttons first before "Select" inserts a coin. I've experimented to see if I need only to wait a certain amount of time, or hit a certain button before Select, however I haven't found any specific requirement other than hitting a bunch of buttons. And this happens for all roms, mspacman.zip, frogger.zip, mappy.zip, dkong.zip, and so on.

It's off topic but fun to mention-- I modified the dkong.zip ROM so that Pauline is the one climbing the ladders to save Mario rather than the other way around. It's pretty cool that it actually worked (i.e., I didn't figure out how to do it, but found a process for doing it on the web).

Depending on game, you may need to change the machine - some will work only on 400/800, 800XL (64) or 130 XE. Other thing that often helps is to "enable BASIC on boot" in options.

Of course you need to have all the appropriate bioses in the right place/detected too.

lol fixed it. So apparently I didn't have to edit the retroarch.cfg file I thought I had to, which was the one under config/retroarch/config. The one I had to edit was under "all", some sort of root directory not accesible through the File Manager. I had to use the Configuration Editor to make the change. Initially I had tried using the editor within File Manager (nano).

@arcee84 I will remove. I would recommend not signing up in the future to forums if you're going to make a few posts then ask for the account to be removed. It's a waste of your time and mine.

@Outlawedpizza that's not how it works - we don't work for you. I will remove your account.

@mitu gotcha

@mitu I will. I've been into Retropie for a couple of years now so have a reasonable handle on the themes available, the challenge is always finding one which hits the spot but gives you what you want. Given it's a build in an actual PS1 case, the Playstation theme was the obvious, choice but it didn't really tick all the boxes. After a lot of trial and error, Showcase seemed the next best alternative. I'll keep on looking.

I've been meaning to build this for about a year now, just sod's law when I get round to it, it looks like modding the PS Classic is now the way to go. :)

Many thanks for your advice and assistance, greatly appreciated.

Regards
Andrew

Please add more information about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

How did you install the drivers ? The root account doesn't have a password on the default Retropie image, you need to use the pi user and sudo to gain root access or run commands as root.

@Affleck001 Exit Emulationstation and then rename the one that does not have the images, then reboot and check if images are working ok.
