    As from time to time I still have the sudo password prompt hitting me back on a system where I can't change /etc/sudoers and this is one of the first Google results: sudo password will be requested if you changed the runcommand configuration to set the CPU governor to something that is not default. It'll request password during game launch and after the game ends (to restore previous value).

    So, solutions are, like described above, add entries to /etc/sudoers or change runcommand config to not touch CPU governor.

    Looks like the upstream libretro assets repository renamed them and the upgrade script just adds the new files, without removing the older ones. Maybe we should clear up the folder before the upgrade, to avoid this issue.

    @JimmyFromTheBay

    @folly said in The bewildering case of the Enterprise 64:

    I have this game working now with lr-caprice32 (amstradcpc)

    You can try this first, lr-caprice32 (amstradcpc) is already part of the official RetroPie-Setup.
    If you want to then you can try my script later.

    @arcadez2003 no problem. @wolfgangrumpf mind you to disable center joystick axis for digital controls in the core options so it does not auto center the controls.

    Yes. That was the problem. Unfortunately, Duckstation is a little slow and will not let me double the resolution. Something about those Square games. Alundra 2 runs great, but still can't double the resolution. It fixes some minor graphics issues.

    @mitu thanks for setting this straight.
    @windg yes, TLJ is playable, has some warnings with software renderer, but works. The residualvm integration into ScummVM has made large progress over the course of last year. :)

    @krathoon said in Duckstation missing?:

    Has anyone got Duckstation to work with Final Fantasy 8? Mine will not run. The same with Final Fantasy 9.

    I try Final Fantasy 7.8.9 and they are working fine. Better open a new topic and add the important infromation from here :https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

    UPDATE!!!
    Finally got it to work!!! For those with a similar issue. I deleted the retroarch config files, then cleared the controllers via emulation station. next I reinstalled Retroarch, and rebooted, meaning Emulation station allowed me to remap the controllers.
    Despite ES showing my controllers and assigning them to the Retroarch_joypads folder as DragonRise Generic USB, Retroarch had it as DragonRise N64.
    So I just copied the file from udev folder, into the Retroarch_joypads folder, and deleted the other one.
    Next I went into Retroarch itself via the setup menu, and selected the Control tab in Setting. The new version gives some nice new options, such as Quit Retroarch combo (I think) and Toggle menu, which I set to "Hold Start for 2 seconds".
    There is also a menu option further down the list that i set to a spare button just in case.
    I then copied the retroarch config file from the all folder into the arcade folder, replacing the one in there.
    I then launched pacman, held down Start for 2 seconds, with great relief I got up the menu, carried out what @lostless said, and it works a treat!!
    Now on to the next load of 4-way games!!

  • Script to start ES or Desktop on boot

    Sorry to resurrect this interesting topic so much later. I came to it after looking for a script that allows us to select in a menu at the start if we want to start emulationstation or the desktop. I know that it's not exactly the same as what was discussed in this thread but it's very related. I've ended up making a custom script modifying /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh, and since I think it might be useful to someone, I'll leave it here for reference (this is the new content of that autostart.sh file):

    ## Get WT Sizes WT_HEIGHT=18 WT_WIDTH=$(tput cols) if [ -z "$WT_WIDTH" ] || [ "$WT_WIDTH" -lt 60 ]; then WT_WIDTH=80 fi if [ "$WT_WIDTH" -gt 178 ]; then WT_WIDTH=120 fi WT_MENU_HEIGHT=$(($WT_HEIGHT-7)) ## Get Architecture ARCH=$(dpkg --print-architecture) ## Dialog Menu if [ "$ARCH" = "armhf" ] || [ "$ARCH" = "arm64" ] ; then sw=`DIALOG_ERROR=5 DIALOG_ESC=1 dialog --timeout 6 --no-cancel --title "Raspberry Pi Startup Selection Tool" --backtitle "$(cat /proc/device-tree/model)" \ --menu "Startup Options" $WT_HEIGHT $WT_WIDTH $WT_MENU_HEIGHT \ "1 EmulationStation" "Front-end of RetroPie Project" \ "2 Desktop" "Raspbian PIXEL Desktop Enviroment" \ "3 Console" "Abort auto-start and remain in console" \ 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3` else sw=`DIALOG_ERROR=5 DIALOG_ESC=1 dialog --timeout 6 --no-cancel --title "Raspberry Pi Startup Selection Tool" \ --menu "Startup Options" $WT_HEIGHT $WT_WIDTH $WT_MENU_HEIGHT \ "1 EmulationStation" "Front-end of RetroPie Project" \ "2 Desktop" "Raspbian PIXEL Desktop Enviroment" \ "3 Console" "Abort auto-start and remain in console" \ 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3` fi rc=$? #reset #no needed clear source $HOME/.bashrc case $rc in 0) case "$sw" in "1 EmulationStation") emulationstation ;; "2 Desktop") startx ;; "3 Console") echo "" ;; *) emulationstation ;; esac;; 1) emulationstation ;; 5) emulationstation ;; *) emulationstation ;; esac

    This is what it looks like:

    autostart_retropie_screenshot

    It's set to run emulationstation by default. A timeout of 6 seconds is established, so if the user does not press any key for 6 seconds, the default option (emulationstation) is executed. I've used dialog for the menu instead of whiptailonly because this last doesn't have the --timeout option, and although you can achieve a similar effect with other tricks it's a bit more complicated, both should work fine either way.

    @sleve_mcdichael Yeah I was going down the settings and input route. I did see the other controls options too but couldn't see the Analogue option. I'll check again. Many thanks
