@mitu Yep it was that. Bought an official cable and it works. Now I just need to work out how to get emulationstation and the console to be the same scale

@mitu

Okay I understand now, thank you mitu 👍🏻.

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you so much for your help.

@DjDiabolik said in Input Lag - How can "CHECK" if present in Retroarch core / Standalone emulator?:

anyway for my next arcade kit I was considering buying something similar:
RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board on Aliexpress

Nice. That creates added value to a plain RP2040, pinheaders and Dupont wires. FWIW, here is the non-commercial link with all the tech specs.

Great you have some takeaways/learnings, that's the Raspberry/RetroPie spirit.

PS: The Sanwa's do have a high price tag but I never regret my invest: Mechanical still precise after ~5yrs, no maintainance needed, colors fresh as of the first day (my setup is partially exposed to sunlight during the day).

@mitu - It's working perfectly, I tested several games and all exit immediately without the -noserversend command (thanks for the tip @DirtBagXon) . Thanks a bunch for the fix and have a nice weekend. Enjoy the games if you're a watcher! :)

@stuckinthe90s I figured it out. I had same problem on recalbox. For some reason switching to rice. Running the game and let it crash again then switching the video ratio to 16:9 let it run makes it work, but then everything is lagging. Then switch everything back the way it were and everything runs smoothly. I don't know why. It just worked and I can play again. It was also on a door opening

0.3 seems to be the sweet spot. I did the change on GitHub

@mitu Heh, well. At least it works, right?

It's basically the same thing, but a different OS and some dependency installs.

@DarkFaker I understand, but it's still not a pattern, I think it's just a coincidence. FWIW I've been using the Pi4 with either HDMI ports and never had any issues whatsoever, audio or video. I'm sure other users have had the same experiene aswell. That being said - if you'd like to diagnose this, then please open a separate topic and add more info about your setup before trying to isolate the issue.

@XxRLGxX Re: sound issues

By any chance ... those "ROM's" with no sound ... are loaded on different RetroArch cores? If yes, check the RetroArch core volume output ... these can differ per core.

RetroPie doesn't include a 3DS emulators, so creating a special folder for 3DS games will not be enough. If you want to add a new system/emulator to RetroPie, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation/.

As for downloading games - see Rule #1 of the forum.

@mitu I would like to thank you for all your help it was helpful more than you know I appreciate what you mods do for free and how much time you spend helping people like me out. Thanks again Mitu

If you're wondering what I did all I did was format the SD card and start from scratch so anyone who buys the Raspberry Pi 5 Canakit please format your SD card first and then follow the guide I used and not the Os that is provided on the SD card.

@mayfield

The problem is only affecting Mame so it must be a setting in mame

Launch a MAME game, press a button to open the launch menu and see if there's a custom video mode selected. If there is, clear it.

@Nash does xboxdrv have hotkeys, turbo, and toggle settings like antimicrox?

@kylen12 said in Connecting Playstation 2 Controller via GPIO Pins:

Do you think it is feasible to have a Python script that would do so?

Probably yes, but I'm not famiiar with the SPI ecosystem on the PI. There's https://github.com/mholgatem/GPIOnext which is a simpler input simulation library (i.e. 1 GPIO line = 1 input/button) and can provide a starting point for the 'virtual' input device creation, but for the SPI part I'm afraid I have no idea.
