    @tostati you can still set Kodi to 1080p btw whilst using 720p for everything else. Kodi on RetroPie restores the previous video mode on exit. I use 720p but boot to Kodi which switches to 1080p. Then I exit to es, and have 720p again.

    @xdrak Sometimes you can't see for looking!
    It's a pretty obscure emulator, not sure a lot of people on here use it. I use it for DRAGON32.

    @rascas People with Bluetooth controllers are reporting this issue. If USB controllers and Bluetooth controllers are affected, there's something wrong with the underlying OS or its drivers.

    I have a thread about a similar topic. I went through and sorted most of the games that work better in MAME 2003/2010 vs. FBA vs. AdvanceMAME3.X. I posted lists of the rom names for each folder. I do not use the arcade folder. I believe I also posted my BIOS folder contents. I also have some other tips in that thread.

    Q

    I've using a cheap red and a cheap blue ps3/ps1 look alike from a famous chinese webstore without any problems. The ones I use are wired (make sure to get ones with enough cable length) and work great with my rpi2.

  • Encrypt RetroPie MicroSD Card ?

    I understand the situation here. Many of my friends ask to borrow my RP3 for the weekend or so.

    My setup has been done manually, I added tons of Japanese game collections, painstakingly selected the correct artwork, videos, etc so I wouldn't like anyone to copy and sell my "work".

    Since physical access to the microSD card can easily gain them root access or plain image copy, after backing up my (final-ish) setup and ensuring that my root and user password are unique, I used epoxy.

    Yup, that two part glue that will never, ever come out without complete destruction of the card or the board itself.

    Use epoxy carefully in order to avoid ruining your hardware (avoid connectors) and realise that you're shortening the particular Pi's life to a microSD's read/write cycles. It will definitely die before the rest of the hardware.

    But at this price it's virtually expendable anyway, isn't it? :)

    @andrewh said in unable to install Scraper due to ~ key:

    Alternately, you can do it in two steps.

    the original command should be as follows (capitalization of folder names is important) ;

    sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

    It tells the system to run the retropie_setup.sh script found in the RetroPie-Setup subdirectory of the user's home directory (the user being the 'pi' account you logged in with). And this command can be run successfully no matter where in the filesystem you happen to have navigated to.

    So, instead, you can do it in two steps as follows;

    cd sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

    The first line will take you to the home directory for the user you're logged in as.
    The second line runs the script found in the subdirectory of the current directory (which will be the home directory, since that's where you moved to with the first command).

    Just gave it a try and it’s worked perfectly, ive set the game list for videos and the majority have them but some are just still images (may of been where I done manual scraping)
    Thanks for the help guys I would of never sorted that other wise πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

    Problem solved, I did
    sudo nano /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg to get to the file you write the system code and I just deleted what I wrote concerning Kodi as a standalone system. Then I saved it and opened Emulation Station and it was fine. I think what happened is since I couldn't do ~/RetroPie/roms/kodi I just copied what the other ones had there instead.

    @frankenbenz Good to hear. If there was a general issue with the scraper install we definitely would have heard more about it by now.
    Sometimes things just get screwy for no obvious reason. Computers, eh?

    @simply-austin said in Exiting a Game from a Keyboard with no Escape Button....:

    I am starting to loose patience with both @psyke83 and @BuZz . I have been nothing but reasonable on here and yet even still each post is just another personal attack on both me and my reputation.

    I don't understand your reply, Austin. I have not attacked you - personally or otherwise - or impugned your reputation. In fact, I was not trying to make a value judgement on anybody's stance on the topic of piracy. However, when we are representing the RetroPie project, we have an obligation to distance ourselves from casual discussion of the topic like I see on many sites, YT channels, etc.

    All this over a simple request for help on a simple tech issue? Not once even a "sorry, slight over reaction there".... instead just an echo chamber of "you are damaging RetroPie and Emulation.".... "But dont take it personal", we dont mean any of these sly digs, things taken out of context to try and move away from the fact you was just asking for help. To map a ESCAPE button....? "again, its not personal, not sure why you would think that?"

    Come on man, the topic clearly veered off topic, after you resolved your original issue. The attention from moderators came because your post was flagged, and since you ignored @buzz's original request on your channel, he used this opportunity to talk to you about the promotion of compromised ROM-laden images.

    You can police and talk about anything you want, its most definitely your forum. But when you make things personal, use double standards with your own platform and idiolagies, try to use things as ammunition on YOUR public platform to justify your villainy of me and complete over reaction to this... I do take it very personal.

    You are free to continue using this forum as long as you don't break the rules. If you were to post a YT video that talked about third-party images with pirated ROMs, in the same way as the video cited earlier in this topic, we would have to take measures by at least removing the links. We were simply trying to open a dialogue with you on the potential problems. We were not making a judgement on your character.

    Would you like it if I did the same on my platform, treating you guys as exactly how you have treated me in public?

    Please try to read our dialogue with you charitably, just as we're trying with you. We never insulted you, and I'm sorry, but we did not make any kind of judgement on you personally, but only some of your past content. If we saw people attacking you on our forum, we would take action to prevent harassment.

    Maybe you should be aware that people who post to your Facebook page are making personal attacks on members of this forums, using slurs such "c*** wombles". Those kind of ad hominem attacks are not really helpful, wouldn't you agree?

    @dankcushions said in Shader and ratio configuration issues:

    @floxblah don't say 'any emulator'. give me an example. give me an example game. if it's not doing 4:3 what is it doing?

    I use lr-fceumm emulator with duck tales (europe version). If i set 16:9 it will apply the 16:9 ratio and if i set 4:3 i have the game default ratio value (like the ratio value is unset).

    ok but the default ratio will be 4:3 on almost all old games. some PAL (europe) versions will have borders but that won't be solved by changing your aspect ratio - they would have had borders on 4:3 tvs also.

    fceumm will have options to change how it displays borders perhaps - select + X to get to the retroarch menu, then quick menu > core options. it will be the overscan options.
