@sli4 It looks like the tvservice program arguments are not correct or an update to it changed them. You'll have to find the line where the program is called and make sure it uses the correct parameters. Run that command from your terminal to check that you get no error.

@taylaway I see this is now on line 35,not 39. Should the final line look like this?:

omxplayer -o --layer 10000 "$line"

I wasn't sure if the word "both" should be removed as well

@jonnykesh said in Boot Script ordering for USB Mount and SplashScreen:

@hooperre Have you considered turning the custom splash screen into a static video file? say 5 or ten seconds, whatever you feel is best.
You say videos on the USB work fine so just turn the static image into a video file.

Truth. Good shout. I'll probably just put them on the SD card unless I can dig into the splashscreen stuff and find out how to have it start later? Not sure. I know using Filezilla if I attempt to change permissions it doesn't work and I can't add them, but I know I can do it with Putty (chmod) it works. That's the only reason I preferred to stay on the USB.

@caver01 thanks man! It works.

I installed adv-meme and change the .rc like the wiki said and now my trackball is working :)
I'm pretty happy now

So it seems to work, thank you.

By cons when I change the video for a game, when I restart the game it does not keep the video configuration in time, is this normal?

And I have to adjust game by play the touch of my wiimote. Is it possible to make a wiimote button setting that applies to all games and not play by game?

should I edit the advmame-1.4.rc?

@quicksilver said in lr- core save/load states:

I must have misunderstood, I thought it was the 360 controllers

I appreciate the help. You're right we were talking about controllers but I also use an IPAC. Basically for old school you can use the arcade panel or you can plug in a wireless dongle and use controllers. Since it's separate input types it's pretty easy to get both working. I've haven't had many issues in the past.

I just started with a new build on Tuesday from 4.3 and patched all the emulators and core items like RetroPie, ES and Retroarch up to snuff. I think it's something I patched but I am not sure if it's a bug or something I inadvertently did myself. Hopefully someone will have an idea where to look.

@mediamogul tried your config without success.

Does your Duck Hunt (World).zip.cfg truly point to the nes/roms folder? I don’t normally run per-game configs but I point mine to the opt.../overlays folder...

@helppls press start (or what ever you mapped to start) and select the option to remap your controller. If you cant figure that out, unplug your controller, and restart your pi. When it boots back up it will re-prompt you to configure your controller. Plug it back in and remap it.

It does indeed - thank you very much! All nicely sorted now.

@dorkvonwaterfall said in Yellow Lighting:

usually?

I was just trying to point out if you're using a power supply with a detachable USB cable watch your length. I have a few that are 3 meters or 10 feet and the longer they are the more susceptible they will be to undervoltage.

I do like Anker power supplies and it sounds like you have plenty of amperage and it may even be a 5V power supply. The thing is high amperage doesn't mean a smooth 5V delivery. A good power supply will have the "filter" circuitry to deliver clean consistent power as well as under load.

Most of my USB cables are Amazon and I just rely on reviews if it's a decent cable. Just don't buy bottom of the barrel price cables. :)

Thank you!

Here is the link that I followed that clued me in as to what the issue was:

https://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/splash-screen-video-intermittently-doesnt-play/

@caver01 thank you , currently I have installed the image from the pi website and I have it on attract mode , but attract mode isn't picking up the roms that are in there ,

@eckaji my apologies, you're totally right it should all function correctly with current retropie. i was mistakenly looking at the ngp installation script, which is purely documentation, so it doens't really matter that it doens't have .7z as a supported extension there (in fact i don't think many/any of the installation scripts have been updated in that regard). thanks for your work :)

@stoo Looking forward to it. Great job. Exactly what I needed and so easy to validate my set with clrmamepro.

@jjapes Just update mupen64plus via retropie-setup.

@mitu said in 8bitdo dosent work in bluetooth mode:

@lesk You would pair it just like for a PC (Windows). Normally just press Start for 3 seconds and it will start to blink blue with one pulse. I'd suggest you reset the controller to the defaults, remove the BT pairing from RetroPie and start again using the PC mode and do the pairing and then reconfiguring in ES.

I did this. But still it does not work in any game. Only in Emulationstation as I stated before.

I tried one thing last night. While connected via bluetooth I went into config and then retroarch.
There I found user binding(or something like that under inputs) and I used my controller and rebind all the keys there, and pressed auto save config.
Aaaaaand I could use it in game! But the hotkeys dont work. I cant quit games, cant load save slots or change save slots. So im still puzzled.

@mitu
Thank you Mitu!

I forgot to say, I found these command lines in the /opt/retropie/configs/emulatorname/emulator.cfg for each emulator and removed the %ROM% parameter.
