@thelostsoul said in Secret of Mana 2 - Very strange blurry to sharp problem:

Is there a list for such games?

just google for interlaced games for the console in question. eg http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-rise-of-interlacing-in-video-game.html

following that link, i should correct myself in saying that SOM may use a higher horizontal resolution, rather than an interlaced mode. still, the effect is the same; your shader is doing some sort of per-pixel shadow mask, but the game changes the amount of horizontal pixels, so it's going to look different in those scenes.

And whats the best way to do exceptions and set different shader for single games?

per game overrides.

Is that the solution for me?

@mitu I think that is in the end my only option, if I want a single Arcade menu option. I really wanted avoid this.

@dankcushions That is the sollution! Thanks!!
@all thanks for the help!!

@andrewh I know it is not what you asked for, but I saw a thread some time ago where someone used Attract Mode, as there is apparently a decent vertical theme.

ok I have put the .sh in the retropie menu folder. Seems to work...
Sorry for the totally noob question. :)

thanks

@caelthunderwing I'm using 'Reicast' on PC. Removed Reicast then updated the retropiesetup script, came from 4.2 to 4.4.1 Then I installed Reicast and updated from source, not sure that was necessary...

Parsec for Raspberry Pi

I hadn't heard of Parsec, but it looks like something similar to Moonlight, which I use (or did use, but ever since I updated to RetroPie 4.4 I can't seem to get it to work). I have quite a few individual bash scripts that invoke xboxdrv and then start moonlight and then individual games, so it can be done:

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --deadzone=4000 \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --force-feedback \ --mimic-xpad \ --trigger-as-button \ --ui-buttonmap lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void \ --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.2:1.0-event-joystick \ --device-name "Player_1" \ --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 \ --evdev-keymap BTN_THUMB=a,BTN_TOP=b,BTN_PINKIE=x,BTN_TRIGGER=y,BTN_THUMB2=back,BTN_TOP2=start \ --ui-axismap X1=KEY_DOWN:KEY_UP,Y1=KEY_RIGHT:KEY_LEFT \ --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_Z,b=KEY_E,x=KEY_X,y=KEY_Q,back=KEY_SPACE,start=KEY_ENTER \ --ui-buttonmap back+start=cycle-key:KEY_ESC:KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTALT+KEY_Q \ & sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --deadzone=4000 \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --force-feedback \ --mimic-xpad \ --trigger-as-button \ --ui-buttonmap rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void \ --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.4:1.0-event-joystick \ --device-name "Player_2" \ --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 \ --evdev-keymap BTN_THUMB=a,BTN_TOP=b,BTN_PINKIE=x,BTN_TRIGGER=y,BTN_BASE=lb,BTN_THUMB2=back,BTN_TOP2=start \ --ui-axismap X1=KEY_F:KEY_R,Y1=KEY_G:KEY_D \ --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_S,b=KEY_P,x=KEY_A,y=KEY_W,back=KEY_J,start=KEY_H \ --ui-buttonmap back+start=cycle-key:KEY_ESC:KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTALT+KEY_Q \ & sudo /opt/retropie/emulators/moonlight/moonlight stream -bitrate 5000 -audio local -720 -fps 30 192.168.0.5 -app "UnderDefeat" moonlight quit 192.168.0.5 sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv

The above script invokes xboxdrv, maps out 2 of my joysticks as against keyboard inputs and then starts moonlight and, ultimately, the game Under Defeat via an emulator on my Windows 7 based PC.

@macsgv Thanks, but any chance you could do a quick writeup?
I hate "watching" tutorials on principle - plus it's in Spanish and does not seem to refer to lr-hatari anyway.

@BobHarris
Ok I quess I’ll have to wipe the SD card and download the software. Thank you .

Thanks for the reply. I tried editing /etc/default/console-setup and changed ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty1" but I can still switch to tty2,3, and 6 by pressing the corresponding Fn keys while holding alt. Tty4 and tty5 seem to be disabled, so maybe I'm missing something and the other 3 are being activated at login?

I also edited NAutoVTs=1 in my systemd logind.conf, but this also hasn't stopped the additional TTYs from appearing.

[UPDATE]
Had a feeling the TTYs still active were being started somewhere at boot. Checked my /boot/cmdline.txt and changed console=tty3 to console=tty1 and now Alt+F3 is disabled!

Still need to disable Alt+F2 and Alt+F6. Any suggestions are appreciated!

@aditkrator Can you check my update in the other topic to see if the workaround I posted there works for you also ?

don' t work i run your comand but the audio in the rom not working

can i help me?
i mod the the retroarch.conf for working audio?

@rbaker : I don't think that's likely to help - of all the components involved in this problem, Win32DiskImager is probably the one that can be most relied on.

@BigBoss : Does Win32DiskImager report that it has successfully written to the card?
If so, are you then able to see two new drives in Explorer (maybe E: and F:)?
If so, you should be able to access one of them, but not the other.
A Yes to all of the above would suggest that the SD card is probably ok, although it would still be useful if you had a second card that you could test with.

If you put the SD card in the Pi and switch it on, do you only see the red LED lighting? Does the green LED light at all?
If you're not seeing the green LED, that suggests that the Pi is not even trying to read from the card, and you would need to check things like whether your power supply is delivering enough current.

@mitu

The only setting which might be related to the joypad is input_joypad_driver, which is by default udev. You can try re-adding back the file, then changing this to sdl2 and see if this fixes the mapping.

Yeah, I tried that. Didn't change anything.

I've decided to just restore my RetroPie install from a backup and avoid the Xpad driver update for the time being. I was able to update everything else individually without issue.

Thank you for your time and I apologize for not seeing this through to end.

Seems similar to https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2522, still unresolved.

@BuZz here is what it says https://m.imgur.com/kMKZZEZ
I need help fixing this (look at thr link)

@darishzone The gamelist XML file format is really straightforward and easy to read and edit. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you're editing the files from a PC, I recommend using Notepad++ for this.

@lonelik said in Can you naviguate in retropie shell menus with a joystick ?:

Maybe the keyboard is my js0...

You can check which device is mapped to js0 with this command in Retropies text console that you land in after pressing F4 in Emulation Station:

jstest /dev/input/js0

Ctrl + c aborts jstest.

Alternatively, this should list all input devices of the system:

(I say "should", because I am not at home at the moment and can't test the command on my own Retropie. It works on my Laptop's Kubuntu Linux, though.)

less /proc/bus/input/devices

You can browse the list with your cursor keys or PgUp/PgDown. Exit the browser with Ctrl + c.

You get back to Emulation Station with the command exit.
