@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!

@DominicSD when you select the game it gives you a grey box asking you to press A if you wish change any resolution or emulator settings. If you press A then it should bring you to a menu and a list of emulators to choose from. If you're saying you've already tried Gliden and the others then that's the best the Rp4 can do for now for n64

@Golden-Shellback try adding:

notification_show_autoconfig = "false"

...to your retroarch.cfg.

@mitu ok thanks

@mitu Excellent News! It's working! Now all I need to do is Source the Sound effects from:
[link text]

@navi87 It's working for me but i don't have google drive installed. i have the latest version (January 10, 2023): https://win32diskimager.org/ . Try to reinstall the latest version.

So, there is no way to make this work? :(

I don't think so, but since it's also not working in Windows, the board may be broken ?

I found this mail chain reporting some fix in Ubuntu 19.10 for another very similar Saulabi model, I don't know if helps in any way : https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com&q=subject:"[Bug+786955]+Re%3A+Saulabi+4K+Joystick+(Buttons+not+working)"&o=newest&f=1

That doesn't seem to have any useful information for your problem.

@mitu Ok, tonight I will try your advice, thanks because I can fill the border on the sides with frames but above and below having black edges is really frustrating

@lexieye you would just need to add a PCSXR entry to your configs/psx/emulators.cfg file. See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation/#step-31-launch-roms-with-the-runcommand-script for some details (it's in the context of adding a new system but you can add a new emulator to an existing system in the same way.)

@lostless That's great news. I have come across numerous articles about changing the button config for certain games, but I didn't know you could change the controllers for certain BIOS. Thank you very much!

@Omay said in Jack of all trades controller needs:

What buttons would I need to be able to run just about any game that RetroPie supports?

Supporting 'any' game is a tall order, since imitating a PS1/Xbox style controller may not work so well with a cabinet style panel - operating 2 joysticks for 3d game while at the same time having to push buttons is a bit cumbersome.

For an arcade style cabinet you may want to use a traditional arcade cabinet with an analog joystick + 6 buttons for actions (A/B/X/Y + LT/RT) + 2 buttons for Start/Select. Optionally, you may want to add a separate button for the 'Hotkey Enable' button used by most libretro emulator - that one can function also as a 'Menu' or 'Exit' button for other (non-libretro) emulators.

You can also use an external (Wired/Wireless) gamepad for more modern games - i.e. PS1/Dreamcast games which require a joystick + D-Pad.

@brucetablett said in Raspberry Pi 4B, Retro pie registering D-PAD as analogue stick:

do you know any gamepads that works fine? Should I buy a 8bitdo-controller perhaps and not some 20dollar knockoff?

I have a Logitech F710 that works well. Other people seem to like the 8bitdo controllers but I've not used one myself; look for one with a 2.4gHz wireless dongle, as the built-in Bluetooth tends to be less-than-stellar, I have heard.

@sleve_mcdichael said in Can I configure two turbo buttons?:

Use classic mode and whatever your main "fire" button is.

Well, of course... It's so simple, it's genius. Wish I thought of that! Anyway, this way works a treat, so thanks for your insight.

This works fine if none of the buttons have a "hold to power up" feature but if they do, it'll be difficult (or impossible) to use effectively.

AFAIK, In The Hunt doesn't have that, so I'm good.
