@jackangry1 There are a number of games whose native display is designed for a cabinet with a mirror in it.

I have used the automatic method several times and had no problems. I'd say that if you are able to play games but not scrape them it is mounted correctly.

If scraping worked with the Selph scraper before you started using the USB Mount but it no longer works I'd say that the issue has come about through the USB mount. But your games play so it's not so much a retropie/emulationstation issue. You can't scrape so it's more than likely a scraper issue. My next step if I were in your shoes would be to poke around in the scraper's configuration to see if there's a way to point it to your mounted drive. If I couldn't find a way around that I would do one of two things:

Update the scraper (probably the easiest) Uninstall the Selph scrape, update the retropie-setup script and reinstall the scraper

If neither of those worked I would find someone that knows more about that particular scraper. I'm really not versed in that particular bit of software at all and don't currently have a build in a state to experiment with it (I'm outta SD cards)

Same error over here. Skyscraper 2.9.5. With igdb API-Key.

Adding --verbosity 3 adds no extra details.

Just to make sure your API-key is right, try:

curl 'https://api-endpoint.igdb.com/games' -H 'user-key: <your_key_here>' --> should return an authentication failure AND

curl 'https://api-v3.igdb.com/games' -H 'user-key: <your_key_here>' --> should give you a JSON formatted array of ten records.

So the URL changed from api-endpoint.igdb.com to api-v3.igdb.com.

By the time I will file a PR at Github. In the meantime you can help yourself:

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh skyscraper depends sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh skyscraper sources

Do edits in ~/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/skyscraper/src/igdb.cpp: The values of the variables baseUrl and searchUrlPre should reflect the new URL.

Then:

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh skyscraper get_opts sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh skyscraper get_bins sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh skyscraper build sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh skyscraper install

Clean (optional):

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh skyscraper clean

Run Skyscraper again as in your original post. It should work then.

HTH

@mitu

No something messed up as none of my keyboards worked either. I restarted from scratch. New image on and card and am setting up the usb load prior to adding my game collection

So, in an effort to avoid the tedious measure of having to open every single file folder and move the required document, I just moved all the folders over and the system only loads the files that it can play. Only difference in the way I did it and moving each file individually is that all of my multi-disk games have their own folder now. System doesn't even register the CCD files.

@quicksilver tilt finded on abandoware.c

Try adding the following parameters in the /boot/config.txt file

disable_audio_dither=1 audio_pwm_mode=2

then reboot and see if it makes a difference.

I'm sorry, this was a total newbie question. I'm figured out about TAB in stella since. I also gave up on the steam controller and bout an 8bitdo one. Seems the support isn't quite there for the steam controller yet.

Please add your system info as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and change the title of the topic to something meaninful. All topics in 'Help and Support' are requesting some help one way or another - how it would be if all topics would be titled Please Help, I need support..

for the future i now know the es_log.txt file could be interesting to have a look at first. Thanks

@mitu I did find the menu, but I couldn't find any option to scale it down. Full screen is not even ticked, but it's still going full screen. Couldn't find anything about custom resolution or anything.

Edit:// I've finally found it. It's in the Display Layout editor, which doesn't want to accept directional input properly.

I'll try that. Thank you.

Alright, thank you for your help!

@mitu Sorry about that. I wasn't sure how to post the log file. So I ended putting some soldering some pins on it and putting it in a freeplay zero. I wiped the sd card and added the freeplay modded retropie (That was before I saw your post asking for the log file...). Weirdly enough a somewhat similar issue occurred again. The buttons stop responding and the pie pops up errors. Since I wiped the previous log and I can't access get my keyboard to work on the gba I don't think I can provide much to you. I talked to Ed from Freeplay and he suggested some things to try out. If it doesn't work I'm going to just try out a new raspberry pi and see if that's the problem. Thanks for taking the time to try and help me troubleshoot.

@robmcc83 The only diference from the transmission available on raspbian and pipplware, is that the pipplware one is already pré-configured with sane/common defaults and it runs with user "Pi" to avoid disk user permissions configuration, if you want and configure an usb disk mount point as a download location. It is a kind off "just install and go package".
About your questions:
1- Security issues is relative. If you are really concerned about security, you probably shouldn't be using torrents in the first place.

2- About the config, like most linux programs, transmission has a global config file (for every user) in some place like /etc/transmission... (don't remember at the moment) and a user config file which stays somewhere in /home/$user/.... If a user config file exists, it takes precedence over the global config file.

The Raspbian unmodified is still available, it is just that the pipplware one has a higher release number. If you want, you can "downgrade" and install it with apt for example.

its more than likely the 4 way joystick emulation on mame. Try something thats not 4way. mame2003+ have 4way emulation for 8 way joysticks that makes mame 4way games more playable

I take that back....http://www.arcadeitalia.net/ is down.

On the plus side, enabling SSH allows me to use my PC keyboard and mouse with my Pie. Learn something new everyday, lol.

@chmaruni in case anybody else has this problem: I upgraded everything, including upgrading the distro from Jessie to Stretch, then upgraded all the retropie modules, and then (and that was important) I deleted the sdl-vicerc config file. After that, sound and joysticks are working again. Deleting the config without the distro upgrade didn't work for me. Anyhow, seems to be working again.
