That's the page I used to map my controls.

@Waylander121 we all have to start somewhere. Glad it worked for you!

Please provide us with the information that is asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and with the exact wording of the crash screen (preferably in form of a screenshot).

@Xenos I'm using an USB SSD for my roms. It makes it very easy to just unplug it and plug it into my desktop pc to manage roms or images/videos, especially if moving many or big files around, which tends to be very slow over my WLAN connection to the Pi in my DIY upright arcade cabinet.

@ucald4amarine said in Scraper not getting all.:

@Clyde But a simple scrape from an alternate source wouldn't take more than a hour or so of my time.

Then it remains an option for those games which aren't included in any of the online databases. Glad that you like it. :)

Oh I guess this may have something to do with it... on their sales page and not their support page:

And yet they still offer the firmware and utility on the support side of the website.
Oh well, only cost me 3 frustrating hours of my life.

@MajorDangerNine I've not checked but I suspect you renamed important page(s), breaking any links to them from other pages and the navigation on our docs (and generation of). Would be wise to check before making changes like this.

Renaming pages is a bad idea in general since it breaks links to them.

I have used dispmanx_vncserver in the past with my retropie and really enjoyed it (great for the getting started stages when you are trying to get the controller setup right and the kids are complaining they want to watch TV ;))

Anywho, I rebuilt my retropie yesterday and found that in the new versions (4.x, based on stretch) the make command for dispmanx_vncserver failed. Did a little digging and came up with this.

I had to modify the make file in order for it to work properly, based on that link.

Hope this might help someone else :)

@MajorDangerNine this too.

@MajorDangerNine this is your doing too

@aj36601 I had a similar issue with my 2 player setup. I found that once I just swapped ports on the usb, that it stayed fixed.

I dunno if this helps. But I noticed when I did my 2 player 6 button + coin, players, and hot key setup, left and right controls would always swap for some unknown reason. Making the hot key not work. I have no idea why, it makes no sense to me. But as soon as I swapped the 2 USB ports, everything is golden.

@mitu informed me this is now fixed if you update and go through retropie setup to fix this

have since updated my "retropie script"

So much for running the 'latest version'...

Way to make someone feel welcome.

@maxdude6 great that you've solved your issue buddy.

@lostless thanks for the quick reply - my original RP install is completely up to date as of last week, I was intending doing a backup of that and writing it to the card for the 3B+. I guess there is no harm in just trying it anyway, but it is always handy to know if something is SUPPOSED to work, then if it doesn't I know I am doing something wrong and that it is not a compatibility issue.

I am having the same issue mine comes up with o LG one gamepad recognized. I have a 3B+ with retropie 4.4. I have tried the custom kernel 1.20160322-1 and the cmdline.txt with no luck. The kernel install fails though so I'm not sure how to get around that or if it would even work on a 3B+ at all.

@mediamogul That sorted the Channel F (with a bit of tweaking), cheers.

The Astrocade I'd already fixed, and it works fine for every game I've tried EXCEPT Space Fortress (unfortunately the best game on the system), which used to run fine but now goes at about 1fps. I tried using your .RC file instead, but the exact same thing happened.

The really freaky one is the Arcadia, though. I can get it to run no problem, right up to the point where I start any game, at which point it plays them by itself. No matter how I set the controls, the player ship will just lurch around, moving and shooting (or whatever) all on its own, regardless of whether I touch the controls or not.

But here's the REALLY wacky part.

If I boot up Pleiades on the Arcadia, it plays through the first three stages by itself. It's pretty good - it clears them all. So I wondered if I'd (somehow) recorded and then played back a previous game. But THEN, and only then, it gives me back control for the last stage (the one where you steer onto an airstrip dodging the parked ships). Keyboard and joystick both control the ship perfectly.

Once I've steered to the target and completed the stage, the Pi takes over and plays by itself again.

If anyone can explain any of THAT, I'm all ears.
