@arif Please don't post links to dodgy Kodi add-ons, it's agains the forum rules. For any detailed Kodi usage, as @rbaker said, use the Kodi forum. Thank you.

@SpudsMcToole Oh, if it helps - when I get the MESS copyright splash screens and it says "Type OK or move joystick left then right to confirm", the joystick is recognised and works but the keyboard doesn't. (The keyboard works fine with other emulators.)

Sorry, I actually forgot I posted that, my bad!

@Clyde said in Hdmi switcher help?:

My HDMI splitter also causes problems. It causes my Pi to choose a wrong video mode on the first cold boot of a day.

With hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080, the problem is gone! 😄 Thanks again.

@mitu I tried that link but I don't have a C:/Users/Herb Fargus/ folder on my Windows 10 installation. Do you think Herb would be willing to swing by and log into my machine sometime soon? :^()

@BuZz said in Help quitting game and returning to menu!:

@Stevezx81 it defaults to 128k spectrum so some games won't work. Can switch via options in. Retroarch or use 128k compatible games

Thanks!
I can't seem to switch it into 48k mode, I've even found the retroarch-core-options config file and changed fuse_machine = "Spectrum 128k" to fuse_machine = "Spectrum 48K" but it's the same.

@SpudsMcToole

Also, earlier today I answered your question on how to get the Bally Astrocade running with MESS. You can use either of those examples to get just about anything else running.

@BHazard thanks for your suggestion, I will check that

@cousinsfan pretty much. You can buy arcade usb encoders which are basically a controller that you can wire up arcade controlls to. Get 2 of them and wire up each side as a separate controller.

@kiesowingme4 not sure about ethernet, i'm guessing if it connects and it has an ip address I don't see any reason why you can't connect to it in the same way. I just find it easier over wifi (I have the rpi 3, but you can connect with a dongle). I have my collection of roms stored on my onedrive and I sometimes use my phone to do the transferring of roms through es file explorer.

@thepianist80 go to commandline and type:

sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

look for the line:

bluemsx_msxtype =

and change whatever it is set as to:

bluemsx_msxtype = "MSX2+"

caps are important.

@mitu It worked! Thank you!

Please don't open multiple topics with the same problem - you already have one opened in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19790 .

Please help!

I just powered on my Pi to double check what you asked me to, Audio is set to HDMI in raspi-config and alsamixer shows a volume level of 100, but during boot up I noticed I had sound again.
The only change was a night of sleep, doubt it was that, and me swapping hdmi cables from my pi to my PS4 and back.
My tv is pretty old, so maybe it is messing up the edid?
I did make changes in config.txt that should force it to recognize the hdmi, but that didn't seem to help before.

@mitu said in Cleaning gamelist.xml software (PC)?:

Have you tried https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11074/a-gamelist-xml-cleaner-tool ? Seems to do the job you're looking for.

@DaMota What games, who are 'they' ? Please add some context to your problem as directed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Have you mapped your buttons correctly in Emulationstation ? What game/emulator, etc.
