@rsn8887: To answer your first question, @meleu has a great script that you can use to change which controllers are used for player 1/2/3, etc.

OK so the difficulty thing I got working fine so that now hides the arrow and action presses.

I've ditched the idea of going directly into the Daphne Emulator at bootup since I found a better theme that I don't mind it as much having the option up there before going to the game selection.

So the only two problems I'd still like to figure out is:

Why in Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp when I die it starts to play the death scene and then a second or two of another death scene before going back to the next life.

And the Cthulhu PCB not being recognized after it's reboot. Checked other forums regarding the Cthulhu PCB and no one seems to have any info with it regarding RetroPie and why it doesn't get recognized on bootup until it's unplugged and plugged back in.

I think the OP would like to choose some kind of low power sleep mode in ES to "shutdown" the Pi, but not completely turn it off. And then OP wants to be able to wake up the Pi simply by pressing a key on an attached keyboard, just like how you wake up a Windows computer or Mac.

I don't understand why a special hardware should be needed, but I am also confused why there seems to be no simple software option to enable such behavior? In fact such behavior should be the default to safe power with sleep, and allow easy wake-up by pressing space or any key or clicking the mouse, just like is has been on any PC or Laptop for a decade, and such is the default on pretty much all set-top boxes like Roku, and consoles like PS4 and Xbox One consoles, too. However, on those, it is a button on the remote or wireless controller that wakes up the device, not an attached keyboard. Using an attached keyboard should be simpler, since Bluetooth is not required to be kept on.

EDIT: Apparently, in order to save cost as much as possible, the Raspberry Pi board has no power management whatsoever, e.g. no sleep/suspend modes, no wake-up, nothing compared to what is found in most other modern hardware. There are a few add-on boards that provide such power management, such as sleepy-pi or witty-pi, but bottom line, there seems to be no easy way to do what the OP requested.

I was going to backup after I had sorted a couple of other things. I never messed about with autobash I don't even know what it does. Unless I have accidently done something while in settings.

Ahh ok. I thought about doing this, but thought there might be a "better" way to do it (like a setting or menu option). Thanks for your help!

Moving thread now that I see the Projects and Themes section (I was looking for a section like that before posting but got confused by this site's layout).

w00t. I updated the packages and this worked. Thanks!

I cannot find my original post to update it. Wonder if it got taken down.

I was following the tutorial to install kodi and add it to main menu, pressed tab button where I shouldn't. I am almost a noob, though I have been using pi over a year now. So will I have to reinstall everything from the beginnig or is this just the settings I have done so far that is gone?

Glad you got it as you wished :) Here i've just tried Universal XML Scraper V2, it's indeed quite powerful as it allows you different layouts like screenshot + box art + large title or arcade cabinet layouts (with very few unknowns or failures).

you can change aspect ratio to 16:9 via https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Configuration-Editor/ - you can either do it for all libretro emulators (most of the emulators on retropie), or for individual ones.

this will stretch the original (typically 4:3) image, but if that's what you want...

@mbrett ummm... do you have the game files in the C:/Games directory?

I've never used that program on the Pi, but I'm pretty sure the actual game wouldn't be supplied from the experimental menu since providing roms is a bad thing in these parts. You probably need to get the game somewhere else and put the right files in the right place.

You'd probably need to look for instructions on which versions would work with it too since there were quite a few.

Good luck man. That was an AWESOME game. If all else fails, you should try the PSX version if you can find the image. I actually prefer the Playstation game over the DOS game.

@weyland can't you give me any advice?

@ortsac I'm gonna try it with a new ad card and see what's happens and thanks for the help brother

You need to go back and delete the gamelist files from every console. They'll most likely be red. Hit F8 on each one from each console and confirm the delete. Reboot the emu station and re scrape all the games. I suggest scraping from the archive. I believe the files are .xml files

bump...thanks
