@theretroprince I solved the problem of Hotkeys not saving. All I had to do was cp the retroarch.cfg from configs/all to configs/snes. It looks like there was a problem individual core configs.

@barbudreadmon @mitu Interesting. I don't think it mentioned anything about that on the wiki page.

@Freakadude yes, the scriptmodule compiles MT-32 support into the lr-scummvm core, but is not enabled by default because the RPI is not very powerful for it in some games.

If you want to try it, go to the BIOS directory ($HOME/RetroPie/BIOS) and in there you will find the configuration file scummvm.ini.

Once in there, set these options in the [scummvm] section (if not there, add them):

mt32_device=mt32 music_driver=mt32

To return to the default (disabled), delete the options from the config file.

Edit: forgot to add an option to the list :)

Thanks all.

@mitu copy that. Thank you

@thelostsoul Ach guck mal, ein Landsmann 😊
Ich komme aus Münster/NRW by the way.

50x gescrapt? 😱
Ich scrape gar nicht sondern mache mir echt die Mühe für jedes Spiel ein eigenes tolles Artwork zu suchen.
Hat zwar lange gedauert aber dafür ist mein Setup natürlich ziemlich schön anzuschauen und ziemlich einzigartig.
Könntest du nicht einfach die gamelist.xml backupen, wenn alles so ist wie du es haben willst?
Das zu kopieren geht doch mit Sicherheit schneller.

@topic: Im ersten Schritt habe ich ein paar FBA-ROMS in den NeoGeo Ordner gehauen und getestet.
Laeuft soweit, wenn auch Cyvern zu anspruchsvoll ist (ruckelt zu stark) und BeeStorm den Dienst versagt, probiere ich nachher noch mit dem Japan Set.
Aber alles in allem super, ich mache an der Stelle erst einmal weiter und schaue was geht 😊

Kommt man bei FBA eigentlich auch irgendwie an die Dip-Switches der jeweiligen Spiele?

Gruß und einen entspannten Samstag

Yep the switch fixed the problem. Thanks again!

@jay-lakin Once you have the reference set downloaded, you should look carefully to see what form that download is in. Is it an archive? If so, it will need extracting somewhere. You can then copy the reference set to the arcade folder. Samples are treated differently as linked and may not even come with the reference set. My set was an archive which presented me with three folders once it was unzipped. They were docs, roms and samples. The docs folder was very useful because it included a games list. I recommend transferring just one game from this set to verify that you have followed this process. Open up the roms folder and choose something like invaders.zip, transfer it using your preferred method then launch it. I use winscp for this. It should launch but without sound. You can then get the invaders sample zip from somewhere and locate it in the correct folder as linked. Now when you launch, it will have sound. You can then transfer other games of interest or all of the games. You have to make sure that you have read all of the guidance in advance. You must check that you are launching the rom with the correct emulator selected from the run command and that you do actually have 0.78 roms and that everything remains zipped after unpacking the original 0.78 set download.

@Fantomas Only a few PS1 games used passwords exclusively (Doom comes to mind)..most games used the memory card. In those games you can save the game just like how you would do on the original hardware. You can use savestates (save at any point in the game) in all games.

@dan18774 Hm, maybe your TV has a auto-close timeout that turns off the screen (?). Try to see if using the Game Mode will make the problem disappear. Or you can try changing nothing and when the 'freeze' occurs just turn off/on the TV.

@jp Please open a new topic and state your problem, don't resurect old - resolved - topics. Add the information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first when opening the new topic.

@mitu , I just updated the documentation on how to autostart games properly using runcommand in https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-would-i-start-from-command-line-say-the-snes-emulator-by-itself

Hopefully this clarifies the procedure to more novice users and saves some headaches :)

On first start, RetroPie will resize the filesystem on the SD card and then restart, so it's normal.
The subsequent restarts should start automatically the Emulationstation frontend, after displaying the boot text messages. Does your PI always restart ? Did you leave it to restart by itself the 1st time it boots ?

@MisterMints Okey thx must have misunderstood the tutorial hehe..
