@lostless Thanks for the link, it does seem like the problem I'm having. I'll have to try the patch that was mentioned at the end of the thread and see how it goes. Unfortunately my build is in a old NES case with the two original controller always plugged in and inaccessible without opening up the entire case. So if I can't figure this out I guess my only remedy is to open the case and unplug the NES controllers each time I want to use the SNES ones. Here's hoping that isn't what I have to do.

@red2blue You to update to RetroPie 4.4 first.

Yes, I believe I did the same thing with the configs text, sorry I’m pretty new to all this. Just trying to shed some light on something I was reading about the last few days.

Like this:
#Path to directory where emulator save states (snapshots) are saved. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
SaveStatePath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"
#Path to directory where SRAM/EEPROM data (in-game saves) are stored. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
SaveSRAMPath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"

@mitu Ok, sorry for the inconvenience

@lurker that was the objective. not really how long the time is between a button clicked and received. but the delay time of the recorder in contrast to the button as GPIO. but if the delay time is so minuscule then you answered my question. its useless to compare. ty

I updated the driver via the Retropie-Setup and everythings workung fine. Thanks.

@kingradness can you please post your renamed file here for me? I'd love to get a good save of this game but I'm having a hard time.

Running with ROMs from an external drive - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/. If you remove the drive, then the system will read the ROms from the SD card. Kids mode - you can toggle Kids mode in Emulationstation, the frontend for the listing the games, and only games with the 'Kid Mode' flag will be shown, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#ui-modes

@fruitybit Seems the wiki page is not clear enough or offers some outdated (?) information. Glad it works out.

Ok, now i did the change by hand and created a second xml file with the additional custom data. Whenever I do scrape with Seten Selphs Scraper, I need to add the custom data by hand.

My brother lives a block over and has been promising to bring my sling blade back for over a month. It's such a nice day out, I think I'll walk over there and borrow it back.

@mat said in lr-picodrive Cheats Broke?:

I am always leery of trying something outside of the default

What's important is what works best for you. The defaults are intended to cover a wide range of use cases, but quite often the alternatives can potentially work better for specific goals. One of RetroPie's biggest strengths is that it allows you to tailor your emulation experience to how you see fit.

Alright thanks. I will have to give this a shot this weekend.

@timbone316 You probably have save_on_exit in RetroArch. Try to open the RGUI (Select + X) while ingame and disable this.
To revert to the Mame2003 default retroarch.cfg file, re-install the package from the RetroPie-setup script.

@nilsholgersson pcsx-rearmed is known to have a lot of compatibility issues, being fast enough on arm processor came at a cost... and don't expect fixes for this, notaz (the main developper) has been quite inactive for years.
Your best bet is to use either the original hardware or a more accurate emulator (i would recommend beetle-psx-libretro) on a hardware more powerfull than the pi (i would say something with a cpu as close as possible to 3Ghz)

@thenetstriker said in Problems with xpad after update to Debian stretch:

I also get a lot of those error messages. So much that it is affecting the performance and I'm getting a lot of video freezes. I hope that will be fixed soon.

Thanks for digging through this issue, I guess the new 3B+ is more finicky about measuring the power consumption.
