What is the setting where you go back/exit called? If I push 1 on the logitech pad I exit emulation, which is the B button in nes games.

@sfc_k Mine arrived in the end and I'm very happy with the product, hopefully yours turns up soon :)

Also noticed that I don't have to add lots of games. Simply adding more and more systems to retropie will also chew up ES's RAM until it can't launch anything.

I might try playing around with the memory split to see if this helps at all, and allocating more VRAM to emulation station... but it may not work. Currently I have the memory split at 128.

@sebastianceg Are you sure the ROM files (italian) are good/correct ? Enable verbose logging with the RunCommand launch menu (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/) and paste the contents of the log file - /dev/shm/runcommand.log - to pastebin.com or similar site to see if we spot any errors.

@qu9ke RetropPie will not use the FAT32 formatted partition to store the data. It doesn't matter if your SD card is formatted or not. If you write the RetroPie image on the card, you'll see that will create 2 partitions

a small Fat32 partition to hold the boot files and boot configuration a larger Linux partition that will actually hold the system, including the ROMs, emulators, etc. This partition will be automatically expanded on 1st boot to fill in the rest of your SD card.

So yes, you're overthinking it. Just write the RetroPie image on the SD card and start your Raspberry Pi.

Or get the proper raspberry pi power supply

@aardvark Yeah that really depends on the number of games you have. So that is hard to nail down until you actually have everything scraped. Each video is a different size. For example an Atari 2600 games snap that is 30 seconds long will be much smaller than say a PSX games of 30 seconds. The videos that are scraped and converted for the pi are 30fps @ 320x240 4:3 aspect. Great for the pi and they are smaller size too! (the vidsnaps can be 640x480 @ 60fps 4:3 the pi can handle them..but the converted ones work much better!)

Honestly a one terabyte hard drive will get you most of everything the pi can handle. However a 128gb micro sd card is "perfect" and a 256gb should be more than enough..unless you want to run a LOT of psx games. (This does not include PC-ish games.) My system with games, videos and snaps fit on a 64gb card happily (and that includes daphne). Note though that i pulled out alot of arcade games (clones/mature/mahjong).

@retrofreak89 said in Zerojay Retropie-Extras install help?:

@zerojay a dude here on the forums helped me on how to launch wads through the command line do that works at least but Its little anoyying to type it time rather have a launch script but if not its not a huge deal at least i can play now haha

Send it my way and I'll integrate that into the scripts if I can.

@freake Stop deleting config files left and right, you could make your system unusable.
What's your system - please answer the questions in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Use the Runcommand launch menu and enable verbose logging, try to save the config and the paste the error log on a site like pastebin.com.

@lostless well I'm not really concerned with who is P1 and P2 on EmulationStation. I'm concerned with trying to get one controller to map inputs. I know on an emulator's RGUI I can set P1 and P2 controls by navigating the menu with a separate controller, but sometimes it acts weird and I'll have to switch between 4 separate controllers to get it working. Choosing which controller is P1/P2 on the RGUI is easy until the controls decide to act up and get split up between 3 or 4 different controllers.

Because your not using an official inage

@neo-rio said in Closing mame4all with select+start not working?:

lr-mame2000 nearly runs full speed and is blockier

Only because you choose it to be. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Shaders-and-Smoothing/

@jbaadsg

So all other psx games run as player one is player one but MKT runs as player one as player two...?

This can be from changing the controls for a rom or iso and not the emulators. I'm guessing you are using retroarch.

Go the retroarch in game setting screen and checking the controls for that rom/iso.

Problems reported that have been fixed so far........

Sega System 16 /18 games a core update broke all these games i have since fixed this
Sound problems in certain Midway / Williams games eg Mortal kombat

ok mate thanks for your help

@kal318 Yeah, I think you are exaggerating problems with hotkeys. Retropie does not have a problem with hotkeys. This forum is filled with people who have questions, and questions about hotkeys come up often, but the issues come from a misunderstanding of retroarch/libretro framework combined with the fact that none of us use the same hardware. I use a keyboard controller (IPAC) with arcade controls while you might use a particular gamepad, and we both made different choices at first-run about what buttons we map to what functions, or what changes we made in our .cfg files. It is a source of confusion, and a configuration choice that needs to match the need, but I would not call it a problem.

Case in point, you say keyboard hotkeys are working for you. It probably means you have a keyboard key assigned as the hotkey which would be perfectly normal for me since I use a keyboard controller. It is not a problem, just a a different configuration. It would be like me saying there is a problem with sandwiches because of all of that disgusting mayonnaise I always find. Add me to the list of dry sandwich lovers who cannot find a solution to this mayonnaise problem.

In any case, Your question is a good one and we can probably get you straightened out, but you need to add a lot more detail about your configuration as @mitu suggests above. For example, how did you build your system? We have seen a lot of time wasted on misconfigured third party images where we have no clue how someone else might have messed up choices for you.

Ok i try with 2 other raspberry pi zero w and work great. My pi zero have a hardware problem.

I have another problem when i play with PS3 wireless controller everything work fine. But when i use 360 usb controller i need to unplug and plug my controller everytimes i lauch a game.

thx
