@mitu

You should add arm_64bit=0 to config.txt and reboot
Try adding PTR64=0 to the build options

That were the solutions.
I expect it will also work without using PTR64=0 now.
Compiling seems to be about 10 hours on a RPI4/8GB which is much better than 1 month on a PI0/1.

So now I have a working binary and channelf is working as expected ;-)
Will try some other systems later.

Thanks !

I have read that ps1 mini is using the pcsx-rearmed emulator.
This emulator had the issue with this game you describe but it get fixed see: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues/560. Maybe the version that the system is using is older. I don't know if you can the update the emulator

You can try to change the Dynamic recompiler to interpreter (slower), if you have this option.

@CyrodiilWarrior You need to start the controller in pairing mode when you're trying to add it via Bluetooth to RetroPie, starting it via the PS button is not enough.

While pressing and holding the SHARE button, press and hold the PS button until the light bar flashes.

While the light bar flashes, do the Bluetooth scan & pair from RetroPie.

@levitatingGuru Hey, I am wondering how you went about installing the kms driver? I am trying to also resolve the screen tearing but can't figure it our for the life of me. I have adapted the config.txt but I have read I have to install the KMS kernel 5.4 or something like that? is that correct?

@phos
Did you get anywhere with this in the end?

@mitu said in boots to command line. Emulation station won't load; illegal instruction:

dmesg | grep Model

Thank you. Nothing happened when I tried that command. However I tried cat /proc/cpuinfo and I do indeed have a Zero W (not what I ordered). I will flash the proper image for this model and try again. Thank you for the help!

@mitu Yeah that would probably be the best idea for this problem.

Thanks for the help though, I might just do a clean install since it's a time sensitive project

I have now successfully ported to an RPI4.
Some more directories had to be copied.
/etc/emulationstation (All belongs to root)
/home/pi (All owner Pi)
/opt/retropie (Pi is the owner of configs, the rest belongs to root)
Additionally Dosbox had to be updated and the hotkeys had to be redefined.
Furthermore, the HDMI scan line generator had to be supplied externally with 5V (the RPI3 managed the power supply itself).

@mitu I'm stupid. Somehow turbo mode was on and that's why there was no sound.
Sideloading the built-in SDL library doesn't help. But I'll set the export thing in the redream script. The underruns don't seem to affect the gameplay otherwise...
Anyway thanks for the help! Another little quirk is gone from my list. :D

EDIT: Here's the list of Skins with a dark color palette:

Cyborg
Darkly
Quartz
Slate
Solar
Superhero
Vapor

Works like a charm, tested :

Darkly Quartz Solar

@viziong Might be a redundant tip, but double check if all of your paths from gamelist.xml are actually correct. I once had a scraper put all my videos in ./images/ instead of ./videos, so my ES was just looking in the wrong folder.

@mitu said in amiberry second joystick fire button:

@22marco77 Make sure you update the RetroPie-Setup script first, if you want to install from source. You can also update from binary the amiberry package, the binaries have also been updated to version 5.6.1

Ok thanks for the information. Can't wait to update I'm super excited to resume challenges to sensible soccer

@dirkomatic said in Retroarch Config File for ROM Does Not Work:

I figured it out from the documentation on overrides and saving game specific overrides. Specifically, going into the Quick Menu->Overrides->Save Game Specific Override after making the correct setting change.

You added the edit before I saw the notification email and came here. I started re-reading the thread from scratch and, at first, didn't remember it, but then it started making sense to me. Yes, just what you said - the info was in the documentation, including in the link provided for help.

@zombie_ryushu said in How do I contribute my own Screenshot Archive to Emulation Station, and what determines whether Emulation Station gets screensots or box art?:

@jamrom2 What about how Emulation determines what to download? Currently, it downloads only box art.

If you want, you can manipulate the files that ES uses to point at images and use whatever you want. Each theme does its own style, some use boxart, screenshots, movies, marquis, etc. But as far as putting your actual images out for others to use, you'd have to submit them to game databases and see if they'll use them. Moby games, Emunation, GamesDB to name a few.

I customized all of the graphics in my theme to use what I personally selected. I enhanced a lot of the graphics and picked the best of each from many different sources. I only use boxart, no screens or videos.

It can be whatever you want.

It seems the original raspberry pi HDMI cable was the issue.

I purchased a new micro-hdmi cable and all screenmodes work fine.

@sleve_mcdichael hmm that looks promising. I'll try to do any good with that in the following days. I really appreciate the help!
