@Simrose said in lower video resolution to improve performance?:

I have currently default settings with retropie except I disabled 4k in the config.txt as recommended.

how did you do this, specifically? posting your config.txt would help.

@Simrose said in lower video resolution to improve performance?:

I've read on some posts in this forum and from the web that lowering to 720p resolution might help improve overall emulation performance.

i disagree with the premise. 1080p should be fine for pi4 at default settings. reducing the resolution further can give ugly scaling artefacts, especially on a larger TV.

perhaps it's better to state the specific speed issue you're having, and we can diagnose it.

Hi!
Just for log information, I had this same problem today and I solved using this:

make a copy of /etc/network/interfaces
sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.old

append to the file /etc/network/interfaces
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

enable the wpa_supplicant service and restart
sudo systemctl enable wpa_supplicant.service
sudo systemctl restart wpa_supplicant

*restart the system
sudo reboot now

@mczx said in Newbie: is this possible?:

can i run actual arcade controls and interface with retropie?

If you really want to use an existing cabinet, there are are some adapters for Jamma controls to a Pi which can help.

If you just want to have an arcade control panel, you can build one from an USB encoder or an Ultimarc board and connect it to a PC/PI via USB. Or use one of the pre-made arcade stick boards like 8bitdo arcade stick, Madcatz, Hori, etc.

@williamcaput said in Megadrive ROM language select:

RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.6.1

The 4.6.0 series had EmulationStation at version 2.9.1, your log shows an much older version (2.6.1) is in use. Are you sure you're using RetroPie 4.6.1 ?

The log shows the ROM files are launched fine. I would check the ROM files as @windg suggested and maybe post a verbose log from launching with lr-picodrive. Use pastebin.com for the output, since they're quite large.

i'm wondering if the option of Installing on top of an existing OS would be possible? there are several Ubuntu instances that are supported in this manner. it's worth noting that i am not a Linux or Pi guru, so i don't quite know what the differences are between these Ubuntu options or what the difference is between the Ubuntu PC vs Ubuntu RasPi versions mean for supported software.

@10vorne said in Move 64GB Image to 256GB Card:

just pull an image with Win32DiskImager and move it to the new card with Etcher?

That should do it. Make sure you go into the setup and "expand filesystem" after, to make use of the new space.

i wouldn't like to use overscan to correct problems involving "3 inches" of border - that suggests a different problem. stretching it via overscan settings will probably produce scaling artefacts.

@sonicmartin76 what videomode are you using in config.txt that produces the borders? a 1080p mode should be handled correctly by your TV without significant borders.

ps i would suggest setting the resolution via raspi-config/the config.txt as per https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Pi4/#issues-using-a-4k-tv - remove any settings via runcommand if you have made them, as the fix needs to be global to the system, not just to a specific system/game.

@TPR Hi i just tried it, too. But i had a strange outcome:

I don't know what that means, but the emulator is running (and quite well, from the few games I tried).

HotD still has no sound, though. Maybe you can point me to other problematic games and I try those? I don't have High Velocity to try...

Great, well it's worth a try.

Thanks for the info

@mitu Thanks! By total chance I just found the same thing. I don't know why that configuration menu is not mentioned in the retropie docs. Hopefully this post will help someone else in the future

Looks like the configuration is not properly saved, though it's not clear for what reason. Can you add more info about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?
Make sure your storage/sd card is not full.

@mitu
I wanted to play in a docker container because I can't install Retropie on Debian 11, and I didn't want to buy another sd card only for testing , but It seems it will be the best way...
Thanks for your support, best regards 🤗

@nemo93 Yes, the link works fine. Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, this worked better in older versions of amiberry.

@duglor

Just use hypseus, save yourself the headache.

That's not a RetroPie image, but a 3rd party fork/image.
You'd have to ask the image author(s) why it's not working, it's not a standard RetroPie image that we know how to deal with.

@reaktor24 said in PSX Games not working on RetroPie:

Thanks for the tips. I updated RetroPie but wasn't able to update RetroArch through EmulationStation. Looks like this isn't an option.

You need to start the RetroPie-Setup script from the RetroPie menu and update it, then update retroarch like you did before.

Anyway I managed to get it working. I had renamed one of my games (Castlevania) to remove the [PSX] from the start of the file name and this seemingly broke all the games. Once I renamed it back again they all started working. Very strange. Anyway thanks for your help.

It's not strange, the .cue files contain the filename of the .bin cd image, if you renamed the .bin file(s) without updating the contents of the .cue file, then the emulator will not be able to find the correct cd image file(s).
