@Dr_Goggles

I'm about to try the same thing you went through. I tried to update a pi which hasn't seen any updates for the better part of like 5 years, and got errors saying I need to update from stretch. The update finished (with failures) and now the pi boots up the retropie screen, then powers down. So I have to update or else I can't even use the pi.

I have another pi in the house which is basically identical, so I'll be attempting a clean install of buster with the hopes that I don't lose functionality of my very- simplistic use of it. Mostly just watching video files in kodi from an external hdd, and a bunch of roms I can copy from the other pi.

I'll probably make copies of the config and rom folders before I download and flash the new retropie software. But I haven't done this for a few years and I hope it's as easy as it used to be. Any roadblocks you overcame that might help me would be appreciated. I didn't see you make a 'success!' post so I can only assume you got it figured out and are back in business.

Any info on what this emulator expects?

@mitu Thank you - that's sorted it!

Go here:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh

Click this "three dots" and choose "edit file":

(It's the second three dots, below the upper three dots.)

It will show you this message or something like it (yours might be worded slightly different, since you don't yet have a fork so you'll be creating it in this step):

Add your theme to the list here. "YourName" is the name of your GitHub account that hosts the theme and theme_name is the theme name that will be displayed in the theme listing. The repo should be called es-theme-theme_name and when you put it here, leave off the es-theme- part and just write 'YourName theme_name'.

Click "propose changes":

@jhny try reinstalling retropiemenu in core packages and restarting emulation station.

Btw bullseye support is still a wip.

raspi-config should be installed by default even on raspbian lite (it used to be). Please provide more details of your setup (see link at top of forum).

@mitu Yes, thanks. I knew I saw this setting somewhere else.
So I think this problem is now all solved.

Thanks for all your help and I wanna express my excitement: This forum is really well maintained and offers great help quickly, which is not as usual as it should be, when you search for something online. And from what I've read so far you do a lot of it. So props to you!

@dmmarti Hi, I installed lr-mess-fmtowns. I have the chd of TDF Kaiju Daikussen and Bubble Bobble for FMTOWNS. Those i put in the roms/fmtowns dir. I put the fmtowns bios files in the general bios dir and bios/mame as well. ziipped and unzipped. I have tried to run both chd files and it kicks me back out to the main ES menu. Should i try other things?

Standalone Stella doesn't use the RetroArch configuration. Instead, open the Options menu of the emulation (once it starts) and use the Input Settings menu to map your joystick and the IPAC keys as you'd like.

EDIT: you can open the Options menu by using the Tab key on your keyboard.

@dookieshooter You should delete/rename es_input.cfg and then re-install the emulationstation package, this would generate the correct es_input.cfg file. You'll have to re-configure your controls next time ES boots.

Hello!

I created a Github account and already tried to push the forked repository. It worked out? Need to click somewhere to save the edit?

@windg thanks! What timing is that? This is hot off the presses.

For what's it's worth, when following the instructions from @mitu it appears that you need to reboot (or maybe just restart emulationstation) for the updated script to take effect.

I rebooted and tried the "source" build again. Now I am currently in the middle of that source build, but at the very beginning it appears to be installing 6.7 but I won't know for sure until it completes (as some point while I am sleeping tonight).

If that fails, then it looks like I can now update retropie to get it with ease.

@mitu I tried the testing through gpionext testing 1 & 2 for each gamepad, all the buttons were picked up properly. I am still getting the same issue however. When I go to set up my gamepad, despite the fact it says 2 game pads detected, when I hold down a button to being set up, it comes up as keyboard.

@mitu OK, thanks for your efforts, for the time being I'll use different board for retropie. It wasn't just the inputlag, they have usefull feature, but I think I have found an alternative that don't seem to have problem with Emulationstation.

What's the output of the aplay -l and aplay -L commands ? What settings do you have for Audio in EmulationStation's menu (device/card) ?

Also, please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@BarriCA said in Retropie PS1 games not showing artwork or descriptions:

I recently downloaded and flashed a pre-made RetroPie image with a number of emulators already installed, and all works fine.

We don't support 3rd party images - as outlined in the https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Ask the image creator for support or use the image from https://retropie.org.uk/download.

@mitu
Done and I also updated the Comicbook Theme but still crashes
At this point I think I just have to let go of this Theme :)

@BuZz OK thanks, that got me back to the defaults.

After doing that the menu still wasn't responding so I deleted the emulationstation input configurations. Now it seems to be working better.
