Thanks for all the help i actually just got a friend to download it for me.

@yramrag No worries. I was just throwing out random ideas as opposed to actually understanding and fixing the issue! But it's always worth checking the easy stuff first. Glad to hear you are all sorted now.

@mitu thanks very much!

@isrnick I second this method. I don't know what started causing it but after a certain point every card I re-write I have to delete partitions/volumes.

@1500points If we are talking about advmame, and the settings to which you refer were done at the generic level, yes, the settings would transfer, but if the adjustments to sensitivity etc. were made under the one rom, I don't see how it could. A quick look at the relevant inputs in the .rc file should answer this.

I would not give up: you can install the Pixel desktop and use WINE. Don't forget that behind emulationstation you have a linux machine so games such as Micropolis (SimCity 1) , OpenXCom (Xcom), OpenRA (C&C) work

@tigerinatlanta Yeah, you map each cannon a button, but the direction has nothing to do with it. If you press the button for LEFT cannon, it will fire from LEFT CANNON no matter where you position the crosshair. In other words, you might have the crosshair directly above the Right cannon, but if you press LEFT, it will fire from LEFT and travel all the way across the screen. That is just how the game works. You decide, based on which button you press, which cannon fires at the crosshair.

@tetragrammaton92

On NES games the music plays way too fast, and on SNES games, there are minor issues with the sound.

I can't speak to the SNES issues, but I believe both lr-fceumm and lr-nestopia need to be aware that a game is PAL before they will play at the correct speed. If I remember correctly, lr-nestopia achieves this by checking the NstDatabase.xml file in your BIOS folder and lr-fceumm checks for "PAL" to be included in the file name. Outside of that, you can also force PAL from the core options in the RetroArch menu as well.

@fingal if you are interested, i just added hiscores support to raiden and its clones on lr-fbalpha.

@madmodder123 said in Overclocking doesn't seem to work:

Try these out and use mupen64plus-GlideN64 for Star Fox 64
I can run at about 25-30 FPS with occasional dips down to 20-22 FPS, it is totally playable

Start Overclock Settings

arm_freq=1350
gpu_freq=525
core_freq=525
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6
v3d_freq=525
force_turbo=1
avoid_pwm_pll=1

End Overclock Settings

Keep in mind using force_turbo & over_voltage together will add the void warranty flag. Not that most care, but it is something to keep in mind for people who may not know.

On this Emulator the game dont start on my Pi. Because of this i Change to rice there the game Work fine.
What parameters you set on Mupen64auto?
Can i put the safefile from Other Emu on the mupen64

@scopaust said in 0.78 Romset Retropie Black Screen:

One more question, how do I know what bios is required by a MAME2003 game

You could use a ROM manager like Romcenter to see the ROM details or look in the compatibility list (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LP1MELCvcxu7TfiowF_0ZuvRVEMqlfQyTVetnOJvuJc/edit?usp=sharing).

@amused86 Good luck dude. Its a great prezzy to get for sure :)

Could you pick up the rom / disks from elsewhere and replace the ones which you have on your box? worth a shot i guess.

@buzz again thanks! But also when I configure my controller and play a game my controller won't respond to the buttons or moving.

@optimal123 said in Retropie install fails every time I install it..:

But what about that other issue? does that mean that I wont be able to use the N64 emulator?

Re-install again the MUPEN64Plus package, just this one, from the RetroPie setup menu, then look in ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs for the last log file. Unpack it then upload its contents to pastebin.ubuntu.com.
Compilation probably fails, but in order to see why we'll have to look in the log file.

Overlays is totally what you're after @jason. It's a feature of RetroArch/Libretro so a large number of emulators available with RetroPie will have it available.

I've started compiling a list of links for customizing RetroPie builds. The overlays and shader section may be of help for sourcing overlay artwork.
