@barbudreadmon

Thanx for information bro :)

On a second thought, even better would be to actually use runcommand, taking advantage of its goodies such as video mode settings and emulator selection:

# Launch FixItFelixJr /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ megadrive "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive/FixItFelixJr.bin"

Runcommand also prepares the console like hiding the cursor and even can display a splash screen art if configured. This is the way EmulationStation launches games and you also get the benefit of error messages being logged to /dev/shm/runcommand.log for debugging.

Done it! I succeeded to enable blargg's filters, thanks so much.

Nevermind i figured it out. The guide dosen't it make it noob clear that after you have built your own version you still have to actually move the binary to the appropriate folder but as i said in the end i figured it out :)

@Silent_Gunner (a.k.a @NoBullShit) - you just registered again just to add more insult to the injury and pretend to provide 'helpful feedback' to your own posts. Looks like you've made your choice.

@3D-George Looks like you enabled Kiosk/Kid mode and this hides the RetroPie menu. Did you do that ?
Can you add more info about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. How did you install it ?

I believe I have figured it out, although I'll see how everything acts for the next few days.

I did have to use a separate bluetooth controller for each switch pro controller. I did everything using bluetoothctl. I left scan on both bt controllers, discovery off, and agent to NoInputNoOutput. I then connected one switch pro to each bluetooth controller and trusted the switch pro controller. Seems like I can now turn off a controller and turn it back on and it will connect automatically, nothing manual required.

I can't figure out the analog sticks with two controllers. I saw a post about using xboxdrv and a udev rule and a systemd service file, I tried that, but only one controller was being recognized as a "Switch Pro Controller", the other still only recognized as a "Pro Controller" (so no analog up or right). Also, for some reason when I had all of this enabled and I would try to configure the inputs on a switch pro controller it would say that 5 gamepads were detected. Couldn't get anything to actually work in a game either, only in emulationstation. Once I uninstalled xboxdrv and deleted the udev rule and systemd service file and restarted retropie then worked correctly, only seeing 2 gamepads and they work in games.

Maybe one day the analog sticks will just werk without messin around with it. Until then I just won't be playing n64, which I guess doesn't work all that well anyway

@mitu Oh my bad, sorry. You can tell I'm a mega-noob because I have a default profile picture 😁

Problem solved. Reread the config directions and was sucessful. Sorry for the post.....

It might not be new or the answer for the whole life existence thingy, but it may help someone ;)

Why don't you post in the original topic ? I'm sure you'll get an answer from the author.

If your TV is LCD, old LCD, then you need to use the best inputs the LCD has. Since it does not have HDMI, then what is the next best input ? VGA ? Component ? Scart will not look very good on a LCD, old or new, since the TV will likely be handling the scaling.

I wouldn't go for the rgbpi, the website isn't secure, they do not have any prices online - instead you have to send them your personal details just to get a price, and even then there is nothing stopping them from pricing you by region, not by the product itself - everyone gets a different price based on where they live. And, looking at many forums (I have researched this due to wanting a SCART output) they have many bugs in their software they link to.

I would get a PiScart, if it's scart you want. Or, get a HAT with VGA - if your TV has VGA.

@BobHarris Some PCBs could support multiple romsets, and let's not forget NeoGeo. Like I mentioned before, the cabinet (besides the copyrighted artwork) was not a consideration at all for legality, only the PCB/ROMs. They are most likely MAME based hacks, but it IS possible.

(hmm…) I could've sworn that the 'enable' option was grayed out the last time I tried that.

@mitu
Thanks , also the mem' split to 512 helped :)

I finally figured out a workaround. You need to manually edit es_systems.cfg to temporarily change the "pcengine" system to specify "unknown" for the <platform> node, then restart EmulationStation. Now you can at least manually scrape each CD-ROM game using ES's built-in scraper and choose the correct result from the list. Bulk scraping is a no-go though; it would require a code change to PlatformId.h and PlatformId.cpp in the EmulationStation source code. If I get super-motivated, I may code up a fix for it and submit a pull request.

@brimby said in Video snaps became "blue-tinted" all of a sudden:

This is probably going to sound insane because I can't find anyone else having this issue

There have been at least 3 posts about this in the last few days. It's a known issue from the latest raspbian update
