@edmaul69 Hi i am attempting somthing similar with a Super Nintendo reset button and am looking for a script that will exit the current game and go back the the game select screen.

Do you happen to know of a working one?

many thanks

@w44dde your issue is pretty common, check your wires on the joystick. I bet you have the wires connected "upside down" on one of the joysticks. Simple fix should be just to switch the wires connected to the joystick for player 2.

Would creating an image require me to have an SD Card reader?
I believe that has been the source of the majority of my current hurdles, however I liked the flexibility of having NOOBS just while im getting to grips with the RPI3 and what im planning to use it for.

Cheers for the advice though.

UPDATE:

By disconnecting my Pi from the internet, I was able to install the Jessie Version 8 of Raspbian, otherwise it was going online to retrieve Stretch Version 9

From here on out - it's a standard install, Binary options were available, and now its all setup.

Seen as I already have Pixel Desktop Installed how do I enable the Pixel Desktop Option in PORTS without "Installing Pixel Desktop" via the RetroPie-Setup?
It didn't seem to work last time.

@mattrixk I'll give it a shot, thanks

@charlie22911 You can try now to re-compile - do a fresh git clone/pull or a re-install from source in RetroPie. It looks like the last 2 commits fixed the compilation error - at least for me it compiles now, didn't try running anything through the core in the emulator.

Looking back at this post with that image i posted man my table was dirty lol.

One of the creators of retrorangepi was able to solve the issue for me via Facebook:

"from terminal:
wget http://www.retrorangepi.org/asplashscreen
sudo cp -v asplashscreen /etc/init.d/

If you want to change the boot screen and tune or enable splash video, edit the file:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen (in plain terminal) OR
sudo pluma /etc/init.d/asplashscreen (in Desktop mode terminal)

comment/uncomment lines in do_start function (remove or add #)"

Worked like a charm. Hopefully this might help anyone who runs into the same issue.

@confusedgorgon yeah, I empathize... It's unfortunately a more common affliction than ideal. Glad it's sorted.

@bytethis the biggest problem is samsungs are the best and they are faked soo much more than any others. I actually had gotten a 128gb bootleg version off of amazon. I am willing to pay the local price to guarantee its legit. Sucks you had a bad card.

So i fixed my issue...did a crc check on the syscard.pce bios...it was the wrong checksum. Finding the correct checksum bios solved my problems.

@darksavior i know and sorry for asking about this theme on this forum. The problem is that i haven't found forums about GPD XD :/, anyway, thank you for telling me about wifi calls :)

@pfylip said in Pi3b arcade kit - no sound, no controls (can't exit even with kb):

I didn't expect retropie to be this difficult. Lots of searching and reading to figure out where everything is located and how to solve weird problems.

*ancient, unlicensed preloaded version of retropie ;)

anyway, good you're up and running!

@hurricanefan Well, it seems you had the answer all the time. I am not sure what was causing it, but I restored an image I had made of my SD, made the change and it now works. Not a clue. I had checked the permissions, moved, copied, spit at it, everything I could think of and it didn't affect the screen. Did a restore, and viola!! It works.

Thanks to everyone for your help!!

@edmaul69 thank you everyone for your help

thank you sir that has worked. i didint have both clock pins going to the pin 19.

@endor read last post. If it is not saving and need to be reconfigured everytime you have a permissions problem. If you do have to redo this everytime then hook up a keyboard, press f4. It should take you to console. Type

sudo chown pi:pi -R /opt/retropie/configs/

If it says something that appears that that failed try it without the -R.

sudo chown pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs/

Then restart the pi. Then you will have to configure the controller one last time.

@jonnykesh he says he has the no intro rom sets. I cant tell if he is correct or not since i dont know where he got them from.
