@Retro-Arcade-Fan It will upgrade all packages that are visible to the OS packet manager(s)[1], if that includes emulators they will also be updated - but that is a question best be answered by people with more insight/knowledge of the retropie-setup script.

[At least on the Pi4 where I have RetroPie installed on top of the legacy Raspberry OS I haven't encountered anything like broken emulators after a full-upgrade, but i am only using a limited set of games/emulators on that machine]

1: like apt, apt-get, aptitude ...

@nollerd2 It doesn't have a name per-se, it uses the vlc provided libraries to render the video and audio.

@mitu Thank you. I will never try that. Might have saved a lot of time if I did that in the first place :-)
Happy Christmas

@duglor said in Apple2 GSPlus Emulator- Help with creating .gsp config text files:

I dont think there is a control disk feature that will let you eject and load disks which is sort of crucial for many of the games.

You can eject and change, use the "tab" key to go into the mame-gui.

@mitu that was the exact problem thank you it's working now

@mitu You sir are a gent. That did the trick. Thanks for all your help.

@eberhab

Ok,
Good find !

@sleve_mcdichael yes sorry

@mitu Perfect! That's solved it! Everything works brilliantly now, thanks again so much for all your help!

@Ashpool said in GitHub suddenly word-wrapping:

I guess for some it may be - I guess that especially on mobile devices it can become a PITA with all those extra lines.

Yes, exactly this. I do most of my browsing on mobile and these extra lines just really threw me off last night. I suppose I'll get used to it soon enough if it's to stick around...

Hm, the 90001 values is from an EV_MSC input, which is a button or joystick input, I don't think it needs to be mapped.
According to this issue, the "EG Starts Arcade" kit should be supported automatically. There's even a .cfg file posted there.

Maybe the launcher is trying to configure your keyboard instead of the controller ? Have you tried starting a MakeArcade game with only the controller kit connected ?

If that doesn't work, you may try open an issue on @Vegz78's repo, I unfortunately have no experience with the MakeArcade setup - I just know they've been working to make this work as seamless as possible in RetroPie and other gaming oriented projects (Recalbox and Batocera).

@fbrier said in Bluetooth PS3 controller connected wirelessly, but no paired devices:

I am guessing what I should see, after pressing the PS3 button, is that all 4 LEDs on the front of the controller will blink, then the first one should become solid, as occurs when paired with an actual PS3 unit.

Pretty much, yes. Can you try resetting the controller ? You are connecting it with the USB cable to the Pi, right ?

@SuperFromND Thanks!!! Your guidance led me to a solution.

Xinit was indeed the solution to my problems, and it actually ended up being very simple. I'll try to spell out everything that was done so anyone finding this thread can follow along the best they can.

OutFox/Stepmania works either from the startx or the xinit environments, but the following code is what allowed me to start the game from the emulationstation menu automatically. This is the contents of ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/OutFox.sh

#!/bin/bash xinit /opt/OutFox/OutFox -- vt1 -keeptty -nocursor

The second argument is the location of the executable for outfox (if you have stepmania it will be the path to the stepmania execuatable). The last arguments keep a no-permission error from occuring.

Once this file is in that location, there should be an OutFox option to choose on the ports screen, and it should load OutFox properly. Surprisingly I didn't have to change any configs anywhere else, it just seemed to work like this for me.

Here's a post that I mostly used to get OutFox setup (there are plenty of other good tutorials for this too): https://www.reddit.com/r/Stepmania/comments/psd1hm/raspberry_pi_4_stepmania_outfox_53_guide/

I'm obviously a novice when it comes to this so I'm sure there's better ways of doing this, but this works for me so I'm happy.

@ZemaDuvant fast forward is what you're looking for. It's in settings > input > hotkeys. Natively it's set to space on a keyboard. I usually get rid of reset as I don't use reset much and find select + B is better for fast forwarding RPGs or cutscenes

What about the rest of the info asked ?

@Retro-Arcade-Fan said in Philips CD-I install update?:

I still see lr-mess. Is it supposed to say mamemess_libretro.so?

The name of the package (as it appears in the setup script) is still lr-mess, the filename of the libretro core included is mamemess_libretro.so, installed in the /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess package folder.

I think you're in the wrong forums - this is a RetroPie specific forum, which is not related with neither of the projects you're mentioning (openelec/retrorangepi).
