@baviaannl said in Lost Gamelist.xml file on PSX:

That file you requested is too big for pastebin, its roughly 6mb in size, is there any information in particular you'd like me to pull off of the file?

I don't know, can you spot any obvious errors related to your gamelist ?

Anyone that can help?

@usarmyvet You could delete some of the ROMs to make some free space and then try installing the driver.

H264 runs perfectly. Thanks!

@mediamogul This did the trick for me thank you!
sudo rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/genesis/megadrive
I got the issue when I launch the setup update script from retropie, now is all working again!

@rhinehold said in VICE Switching disks:

I guess I’m the only newbie here.

I use VICE from time to time, but with this I'm just as new as yourself. That said, I don't think you have to type anything in. I believe it's all done through the options menu.

Update - did the simple thing - reformatted the SD card and got a fresh image from Retropie website. Now appears to work ok!

You can install one or multiple PVRs like explained on the RetroPie wiki, but you have to restart Kodi after install for them to appear in "My addons". Then you can go there and enable the one you want, only one can be enable at one time. Then configure that one in their respective settings. More info here:

@psychol324 Hello

Choose all ... this uses config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg - you did that already.

The parameter for the save pathes can made dynamical if you use $1
So /home/pi/RetroPie/savegames/$1 for a GameBoy game will be /home/pi/RetroPie/savegames/gb
/home/pi/RetroPie/savegames/$1 for a NES games will be /home/pi/RetroPie/savegames/nes....

In my humple opinion /home/pi/RetroPie/scripts/SavePath.sh "all" "/home/pi/savegames/$1" is the best setup

It saves STATEs and SRM files into one location in depence of the system (gb, nes, snes) and used the config file for all base settings.

Instruction point 5 can be understand following. Usually the setting for savefile_directoryand savestate_directory are commented out with a #.
So you have to set them "active" by uncommenting them.

So if you already have setted them up like savefile_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/savefile" you are fine.
So the script will always overwrite this: like savefile_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/savegames/gb"
Hope I was clear now ;)

Hi all,
Ended up doing a clean install of Retropie and all running beautifully.

Thanks,

@dankcushions Hi. Yes, it is a very strange problem - the cocktail issue. It really only seems to happen with Tempest and Tempest Tubes. Not sure why but will probably have a closer look at my settings. It may have something to do with the individual per-rom config files I've got.

I solved it!

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4057/can-t-remove-text-in-bootscreen/14

Add "clear" as the first line in /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. Never seen that tip anywhere other than that thread, but it worked!

@quicksilver Got it figured, it’s now working with jzintv! I’d added the .rom .ROM to the intellivision es_config file as per @dudleydes post and it’s just like the old days are back again! Gonna have a blast tomorrow with my lad- two player works a treat as well:)) Got to say thanks for all advice from you folks, I love this place!)

@dankcushions I chose to go with a 60 second interval to avoid too many writes in a situation like that, but I'm hoping that is a long enough interval to give me the data security I'm looking for without compromising SD card life too much.

I just needed to know if the SaveRAM was the right item to enable.

@buzz said in Bluetooth Controller works fine in EmulationStation, but not in emulators:

@mendingo I don't exactly know - some difference in how the device reports it between the sdl input code and the retroarch udev code. Another option is to switch input to "sdl2" in retroarch config (then the mapping should be the same).

If you give me the name of your controller and your ES vs retroarch config I can put in a workaround. the 8bitdo controllers used to have an offset of 11, but it was fixed in a firmware, which suggests it may also be linked to how the device reports itself.

Sorry for resurrecting old thread, but it took me quite a lot of time to solve this issue and I would like to share this simple fix. I recently bought a bluetooth controller - a chinese cheap one - called Gen Game New S3. It is identifying as "GEN GAME" in retropie. There was the same issue as OP had - only cursor button worked in games, but no action buttons. Simple "hack" is to "switch input from udev to "sdl2" in retroarch config" as @mendingo mentioned. Once this is done and gamepad is remapped in emulation station gui, all buttons work perfectly in games as well.
Maybe this can help to people who bought similar controller.

@keithmason if memory serves, if you exit it and then restart it will work fine. it absolutely does work in lr-mame2003 - i coded the dual sticks option :)

@psyke83 said in Sony DualShock 3 - call for testers: "sixaxis" script module:
...

NOTE: If you don't know how to test PRs, then it may be wise not to try testing this, as I'll need some basic technical competence to provide logs, etc., if something goes wrong.
...

sorry, but I've just read your note about how to test the driver and I fear that I can't help here.
I'm really not familiar with pull requests; and even for basic linux things I need to follow step by step instructions... not knowing what and why I'm typing things in more than 80% of cases.

hey mitu, finaly got it working!
But now i noticed the snes sounds are stille crackling,
Am i missing something?**

Followd this guide:

Guide from link:

Ok, first delete the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf Raspbian Jessie does not use this config file like Wheezy did.

To find what address your device uses you need to first enter the command aplay -l this shows all audio output devices, and their address. For example, my USB sound card comes up as device 1 in the output which looks like this.

card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]
Subdevices: 8/8
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
Subdevice #4: subdevice #4
Subdevice #5: subdevice #5
Subdevice #6: subdevice #6
Subdevice #7: subdevice #7
card 1: Device [USB PnP Sound Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Now, to set the device to your default card you will need to edit the file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf with the command sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf scroll down until you find the lines

defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0
and change them to (if your device is also listed as device 1, if not change the 1 to whatever address it was listed at)

defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1
Explanation: USB sound cards are registered as card 1 on Raspbian Jessie. On Wheezy they would be registered as card -2 by default and editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf would change that.

I do not know if this next step is necessary but without it my card wouldn't work.

Create and edit the file ~/.asoundrc by using the command sudo nano ~/.asoundrc and change it so that it only reads this:

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
Now your default audio out (speakers) and audio in (mic) are your usb device.

@darky2003 Thanks. :)

Solved. Had to access emulator settings for the one second the game was booting and disable "Fast Memory (Unstable)". Boots fine now.
