@MaximStroud Have you tried adding the bios files and boot it that way ? Can you provide the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) taken after starting the game ? What other games have you tried running ?

@John_RM_70 Aha! The key was renaming the BIOS file to dragon32.zip! (From d32.zip.) Many many thanks for that. Now I have the Dragon OS screen showing, if I could only figure out why the A key won't work (leaving me only able to type "CLODM") I'd be sorted...

@dudleydes Ha ha :D I'll have a go, but in my entire 18 months of using WinSCP I don't think its comedy search function has ever successfully found ANYTHING.

@Clyde
yes, i purcheased on ebay ;-)

@Aaronero It's not the emulator that's showing the splash images, it's the Runcommand, so there's nothing that the N64 core (or emulator) is doing. Runcommand is using fbi to display the image on the RPI, but it's not doing any scaling by itself, it just tells fbi to try and zoom the image as best it can.
You didn't say anything about your system - as requested by https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - so you may not even be using the latest RetroPie or there's some other configuration that might interefere with the image splash.

@mitu That seems to have fixed it! I've rebooted a few times and the sound works after each reboot! I really appreciate the help!!!!

@omg209 got it figured out. Had to use key bindings in retroarch. Bind all for player 3 and 4.

Thanks! This solved the issue for me - I had to copy rom.key file together with all the roms as indicated in one of the replies from above thread, then it started to work...

@mitu

Thanks for that. It worked perfectly. It is actually great news that the boxart splash screen is a separate location and separate file. It means I can create a specific "help" splash screen with the boxart and button mappings so that when I start a game it reminds me how to play the game.

@de_jean125 Something like that, yes. :)

My first guess was that it was for your kid(s), by the way.

You could even let it get nastier … "Stop or I'll hack into your bank account and send all of your money to homes for retired game programmers!"

@RetroWill said in Game Files Missing:

I was reading on some forums to press F4 to exit.

You press F4 if you want to access the command line and issue commands. Normal operation is to use the ES menu and Quit/Shutdown/Restart.

@cyperghost i did do it on my own image that i built from scratch had everything set up and wanted to add openbor but like i said it spits me back to the gamelist screen dont know what to do from here cant get the games to load on my own image

Will setting mupen64plus_audio=0 in /opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconf.cfg have any negative impact on emulator performance? I noticed that after changing this setting, the overall volume for N64 games decreased as well (bringing it back in line with the other RetroPie emulators). Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a performance trade off for enable save states. Thanks for the help!

I would use FBA a lot more, but I don't like the scaling on my CRT - it doesn't look as good as Retroarch.

Fyi, the upright, single-display version is called buggyboyjr.

Thanks for that. It actually works better than the sit-down rom, it's a lot smoother.

@mediamogul Awesome, thanks for the clarification.

I got this to work..its weird...I set it at dinput, and x/y and the thing just mapped (now the stick is mapped to Y-1, X-0)

@Clyde said in [Solved] How to rename a Custom Collection?:

You both just told me the same solution in different ways. It's good to know both.

Yeah, I noticed a little later that we posted about a minute within each other. Of course he got there first, so now I owe him a Coke.
