Good find on here. This fixed it. Really annoying that this is the default config, I have to imagine many people have been thrown off by this. Anyway, I opened an issue on it w/ the master repo called by this software:

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/issues/47

Hopefully they will roll it up - although, some of the repos there are quite old w/o maintenance on existing issues.

Thanks for posting!

@vykyan retropie does have a patched version of sdl, but not sure how much is specific to the pi. I believe it's also used on x86 builds

Also this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@rockinrado spaces in the SSID will kill you. glad you got it sorted.

Here is a guide to setup Kore, if that's the one you are talking about:
http://androidpcreview.com/how-to-setup-kore-the-official-kodi-remote/2973/

It is in Android but in iOS should be the same.
If it still cannot find your Raspberry Pis Kodi, just go for manual configuration, enter the Pi IP address, port, username and password that you configured.

I have that controller and found one that has a similar issue. I found that the potetiomimter is bad and reads the opposite direction for the slightest push but corrects itself as you move past the “dead zone”. But it did it only in the up direction. Unforutally es reads that dead zone and registers the wrong direction when your trying to Configure. I say bad controller

@rsn8887 it was a non fatal error in this case. I prefer that over a force pull.

Thanks @pjft , I think you're right and its a combination of me misremembering and also the larger fontsize on my nes/snes theme amplifying the problem to an extent.

I just checked my Megadrive build which uses a much older version of ES with a Raspberry pi 2 and a slower SD card with my Newgen theme (my new sd wont be running at full speed without overclocking anyway ).
The previews for that build are big in pixel dimensions but I managed to compress them quite well using pngoo so the filesize of each image ranges 100-200kb (originally they were 400-900KB) and even then enabling show FPS I can see the frame rate drop in the same way. I think because the fontsize for the list on that theme is smaller the occasional skipping just isn't as noticeable but is still there.

So basically I'm just noticing something that has been there from the beginning. And for anyone else who has the problem it's easily remedied by making sure you keep the preview image filesize as low as possible.

I did notice one other strange thing regarding framerate but I need to test more. The carousel on my new theme seems to run around 60fps on a rpi3 but occasionally when exiting out from a system the framerate drops to around 45ps and stays at that frame rate until going into another system and backing out again. Obviously doesn't affect things too much but just seemed odd.

@boneclaw Try another website for your roms (Google "roms" and use the first result). And NEVER open that exe. Most likely some form of malware.

---edit---
Late to the party apparently... ;)

@remino just make sure you keep updated backups.

The docs cover this scenario - take a look at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive

Do others still have this with 4.3? I updated from 4.2.[something] (the version where Emulation Station's splash screen changed to black and Emulation Station gained support for video previews) on an RPi3, but still have this crash. I even rebuilt ES by source through the retropie_setup.sh interface.

I am using the selph scraper to fetch video previews, and as a part of that the "images" folder and the gamelist.xml file are now instde of each of the rom folders instead of under ~/.emulationstation. Has anyone else had this issue with the same situation? I might try nuking all of the scraped info to see if that improves stability.

@BuZz, is there a ticket out on this issue that we can follow?

@edmaul69

oh really? I spent hours figuring it out so I'll just leave it lol. Atleast I learned a lot today. Speaking of music, I read that you needed all the music files in mp3 format named correctly in the same folder as the wads to get game music working, but the original music is working just fine in normal doom and doom 2 by just changing the midi device to OPL. Was that an old issue? I have all the mp3 files but didn't have to use them

Try to run these commands separately:

sudo apt-get remove --purge lxde*

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get autoremove

reboot

@jonnykesh but the game is already in the gamelist... its only images/video which are missing. Wouldn't -append skip the game completely, and not check to see if it has new images/videos?

@azamoth
As @caver01 told you there are several ways... and your display just needs a few Pins as told....

If nothing else helps use MCP23008 or MCP23017 gpio expanders and connect to I2C-bus. But please don't ask me how to do this. Never used that :)

So Can follow the entire tutorial except mktable msdos must be mktable gpt
and after create the fat32 and ext4 partition like mentioned?

The fat32 partition is to make the external HDD bootable by USB.

@mediamogul is the only 3D option a Red/Blue, or is there an option for side by side (my TV can create 3D from a side by side)?

I'm not fully up to trot on "Shaders" but while browsing around, there was some mention that somehow, I may be able to smash the shader and Retropie bits together and get a side by side 3D?

Ultimate goal: Raspberry Pi 3 B outputs 3D signal over HDMI, OR a side by side 3D image with the TV converting to a 3D image.

Or it could be impossible, I'm not sure.
