@noctcrawler Try choosing the 1st option.

@dankcushions sweet, that's great to know! Thanks!

So my son just admitted he was messing around and went in to the online updater in retroarch and updated the controller. I am not home so sorry if the descriptions are off. Not sure if that's what did it or not

Never mind. Apparently there's an issue with how Retropie Manager checks for ROMs for PSX. I manually just transferred the ROMs into the PSX folder over the network and they worked. They even kept the saves from the last time I played some of the games.

@kidcy

Not a problem. Glad to hear that it worked out for you.

@jonnykesh said in starter pack memory problemo :(:

@kidcy It's obviously not meant to happen. Did you buy a Pi3B+ by any chance?
If it is the "plus" you need the image from this forum and not from the download page.

Thank you Jonnykesh. I've actually got retropie (pi3b+ beta) running! Nice to finally see something on screen!

Now to try and get some games :)

Yeah, I still can't fathom out how to get the autofire function working in either uae4arm or Amiberry. Same problem in both RetroPie and Amibian. I'm not sure if it's a bug or something you need to press first; or maybe another option or assignment that needs to be set-up somewhere? Can anyone help with this?

@dal1980 said in How to generate gamelist.xml:

Images should really be stored in folders that describe the artwork as adding "tags" to filenames has got to be the dumbest way. I've never seen this being used for any other frontends.

Sselph's Scraper supports this via command line arguments. See Sselphs Scraper Advanced Configuration or type /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper --help in Retropie's command console for a list of options. With them, you can set alternative paths or suffixes for the various media files.

@rbaker he already has a thread open for this issue. No need to duplicate it here.

@johne79
Hellooo, I try to do this on my rasppberry pi, but nothing happen, I have my room with lsdj.gb, pls, how i can do it?

Any update?
There is still 0.1.3 version online
Thx

@herb_fargus Can confirm - your suggestion worked for me!

PlayStation outputs in both 240 and 480 lines. 480 lines don't look nice with filters unless you use a resolution that is a multiple of 240 (but not 720p because it's too low and will again be upscaled to 1080p by your monitor/TV).

You'll need a minimum native resolution of 880 lines (non-existent). The closet native resolution to a multiple of 240 on a commercial device is 4k (aka 2160p). This is impossible for gaming on a Pi.

I would recommend playing around with different shaders because I remember that some use tricks that simulate interlaced picture on 480 rendered lines, resulting in a shaky but more pleasing effect.

@matchaman

Being on a modern TV myself, I keep it disabled at a system level just for the NES, as (A) it's really the only system that needs that level of response time and (B) it isn't likely to have performance affected. I've even considered just setting it to off at an individual game level for the few titles that need that level of accuracy.

For the Stretch image I found myself having to do it manually:

sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-ui-mods
sudo apt-get install xinit
startx

Then fine from the ports menu from then on.

@vodkanakas TeamViewer needs an X.org server running to be working, ES - the version for the Pi - does not run in a X.org session, so you cannot see ES via TeamViewer.

@guiguiberto Follow the docs on how to install it first, the RetroPie image does not have it included
