@fiddla01

Late reply, but confirming...

I wanted and did the same thing with the same result. I switched back to HDMI to composite video and audio converter and the system works well, again.

@dankcushions Thanks loads. And you are right. Im getting my head around how this works....slowly! Cheers!

@mitu Oh.

@yfzdude cheers dude. Helpful stuff

@mitu Updated today with latest RetroPie Setup and OS update, and the sound is back. Not sure what changed but something was adressed in audio recently.

Maybe it just affected me but if there's someone else with similar problems, it might be good to know.

@bigbay you are welcomed.
If you need any help creating your own image feel free to ask here.
There are resources and options to build a gernan based image.
I.e. you are even able to set some arcade games from Atari and Capcom (Dungeons and Dragons, Aliens vs. Predator, Xybots,...) to german language.
Get ready for "Münze einwerfen!" :D ("insert coin!")

@sleve_mcdichael VERY helpful! Thank you very much.

@mitu the default, no frills just with cover art image and description

Solved had to set audio to HDMi in Raspi-config as well

It should work after configuring inputs in ES. What arcade core are you using?

@ogteeg If your controller is detected, then you're not experiencing the same issue as in this topic.
My advice is to make sure you're fully upgraded (OS/Packages and RetroPie), install the xpadneo driver from RetroPie-Setup (see here on how to install packages in RetroPie) driver section and then re-try the pairing. Make sure you remove the controller from the list of registered devices before attempting to re-pair.
If that doesn't work, then open a separate topic and provide more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

RetroPie uses the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image - if that will support GPT for the root drive (boot + root), then RetroPie will have no issues with it.

Since the current RPI OS images are using MBR, you'd have to re-partition your disc and copy over the files to the new partitions if you want to use GPT.

You can try with a different hdmi_group/hdmi_mode until you find one that works (240p modes maybe ?).

@weirdh said in Two PGM games that stopped working on Mame2003-plus:

@arcadez2003 That's so weird (on my part, for the record), as the runcommand still was set for 2003-plus, so I just assumed it was always that, as I hadn't tinkered with it to my recollection. Does the ARM7 thing mean 2003-plus doesn't run any PGM game?

@barbudreadmon Yeah, I must have had something set wrong, or maybe a funky bios indeed, because after some maintenance it launches fine. Thanks for looking into dw2001.

These are the pgm games that will work in MAME2003+

@tekn0 it currently supports ES 3.1 if that's what you're asking?

@muldjord said in Skyscraper: determining search name for game entry?:

It does not work with screenscraper as it is checksum and "exact filename" based, which is probably why it works with Spears of Destiny.sh since that is probably in their database.

Ah yeah, that's the one I was using. I'll work something else out then, thanks!
