thank you for your help!!! (i dont now why 17.3 starts now but it works :) )

@gtbfilms Bummer. The loss of shader was definitely a result of swapping out old for new configs. You can add a shader configuration line like I did above in the all/retroarch.cfg or like I did in the arcade config folder.

As for sound, I would be surprised if Retroarch configs are to blame for that, especially since it still worked in lr-mame2003.

@dankcushions aah thanks so its just waiting for me now haha

By the way, video signal on cps2 arcade machine was indeed 16:9, but the rendering was on a 4:3 screen. Rendering cps2 games as 16:9 is a bug, it was fixed on lr-fbalpha in late 2015, and was backported to lr-fbalpha2012 a few months ago.

About using the old lr-fbalpha2012 because you got the wrong roms, why not update your roms instead ? If you buy the wrong tire for your car, do you buy a new car or do you go back to get the right tire ? I can understand using lr-fbalpha2012 on a raspberry in a few specific cases (i'm mostly thinking about svg and killbld here), but lr-fbalpha is overall better because a lot of bugfix and compatibilty was added in the last 5 years.

@mitu Okey thanks for the reply :) i´ll give it another try

yep doing it as an overlay is a great idea,you have to sacrifice some screen space though,and it wont go well with games that have many characters such as King Of Fighters but it will work with most games..so thanks

oh well,
thanks for the reply!

@melvin-fox The diagram is on the original post but I will link it here in case you missed it:

Anyway you just don't join the Hsync and Vsync together, you must put a 1k resistor on each line before combining them together.

@moltavia Use the binary install (looks like you tried to install from source) or clear the source directory - not sure why git failed. networking or old source tree left over.

I don't know much about it since i don't own an orange pi but have always been interested in getting one just for fun. It seems like a common thing that people are repurposing products with free software from others, as well as partially releasing unfinished products with out support.

I figured out the issue. Problem was I got an error when I followed MSL's instructions to the letter. First time I got an error saying something like "this can not be a service", second time it said "Failed to execute operation: Bad Message". I mistyped. The script:

[Unit]
Description=RemotePi Board Shutdown Service
Before=multi-user.target
Conflicts=shutdown.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/true
ExecStop=/etc/shutdown.sh
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I had "Service" on a line by itself. Doh! It's fixed now, powering on off works perfectly now. Hooray!

Hey Eddie,

I think I did what you needed, can you please check and try this post ?

PS: for the dimming screen, did you add "consoleblank=0" to your cmdline ?

@herb_fargus Thanks herb. I just jumped into it. I forget about expanding the file system now that raspbian takes over and does it on install.

@buzz Thank you for your attention! :)

@demoman982 said in RetroPie won't run roms on EmulationStation:

Can someone please help me?

Sure thing but you must fill this out to enable people to see what you are working with:
