@yefet Reconfigure your controller.

@ectoone Popping them in the ROMS folder worked an absolute treat. Thanks so much :)

IT WORKed on a download manager

@john0007 said in SD card use. Download retropie:

@dankcushions thanks. So can someone help me how can I download the retropie. It's giving me problems on network error and corrupted when download.

What error(s) did it give you exactly? What browser or other software did you do the download with?

Just to update, I opted to instead go with Sanwa sticks as they are the perfect size with the same screw holes and apparently the top of the line based on the recommendation of those in the know.

@zerojay lol, here's a pointless story:

About 12 years ago I was just messing around, trying to build Gentoo on a (very) old Acer laptop. Well, something went wrong and the build froze. These laptops had an actual pot wheel type volume control on the side, and apparently the Acer engineers hadn't thought "hey, how about some actual circuitry that sets a sane limit on the volume?"

The volume control was set to maximum and the build failing caused a continuous tone from PC beeper, which was amplified through the built-in speakers . People in surrounding offices actually started evacuating because they thought it was the fire alarm. Yes, it was that loud.

(I just realised that evacuating can have two meanings, both of which are valid in this case.)

I haven’t seen any changes in over a year either. There’s not any settings that may change, only the paths to the emulators and that is rather stable.

If you add new emulators however you will need to refer to the ETC location and copy/ paste the new system info into your OPT override.

@mitu Turned out to be much simpler than that. This line:

<extension>.uae</extension>

Should have read ADF instead of UAE. All sorted now, excellent user-friendly emu :)

@baviaannl Maybe the youngster came back and re-mapped the buttons by mistake :).

@paf said in Verification error when writing RetroPie on SD card:

AFAIK

Verification errors tend to mean fake or bad cards. Here is my order:

Format the card - SDFormatter

This is important and dont forget that some cards are not compatible with the pi. I have formatted other ways before and have found that success is hit and miss. This tends to work every time for me.

Download the retropie image for your chosen device either zero etc or 2/3 and unzip it to reveal the iso. If using Etcher - you do not need to unzip - have you tried this?

Using Win32disk imager, browse to the image and click write making sure that the correct drive letter is selected.

Boot. A solid red means fail. If your lights start blinking then look at these meanings

This is fast process. I have never had an issue. I use Sandisk cards 16-128GB and their own cradle - class 10 though, I find class 4 glitches for more intensive tasks. I have also used various usb sd card cradles. Can you describe your exact operations? Do you do this order?

The MAME 0.78 debugger code may not actually be functional in the MAME 2003 core. Someone else may know that for sure.

If you haven't, I'd suggest that you try the hacked ROM with the original MAME 0.78 software before trying to set up lr-mame2003 in order to have a baseline.

In case anyone else stumbles across this. The issue appears to be resolved with the latest update. I updated from source today and my mouse cursor is functional and visable now in lr-vice.

@juankaever

for 5 inch LCD

edit on /boot/config.txt.

search, replace and add this

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=1

save and try boot again

Very useful information. This helped me figure out a similar issue I had.

@alturis oh wow. I didn't even notice that. good catch.

I'm kinda in a rush

Retropie requires you to read the instructions that are comprehensively written and it's not a boot and play solution. If you have no time, it's the wrong project for you. 99% of all your questions are covered in those docs.
