@mitu
Thank you for your excellent support.
I was under the impression that both HDMI's mimic each other. It seems not to be the case.

I plugged the wire from one HDMI port to the other and it worked perfectly.
correction resolution and UI is 10 times faster along with the games and the input delay.

Thank you so much.

@frankeanu said in No prompt to set up my controller:

@Addison Sorry, I just wanted to provide the info of what I was using. There was no personal reference link; it was the URL copied directly from the Amazon product listing. It's now removed.

A correct Amazon link would appear as something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/XXXXXXXXXX/

Yours had extra which meant a referral was also included.

It's okay though.

Just be a little more careful.

It's easy to get suddenly banned here. :P

From the product page, it doesn't seem to be PC compatible and it will only work on a PS3.

@dankcushions

Thank you Dark!

Looked around everywhere on Google and couldn't find this.

Probably termed my search incorrectly.

As a follow up. I ordered a keyboard that got here today. It seems to have resolved my issue.

I was using an older Apple USB keyboard but this one is simply newer. I just searched Raspberry Pi Keyboard and got a cheap $12 one.

So far so good! I was also able to add an Xbox remote via bluetooth.

SSH is also working but I haven't tested that over Wifi only.

@duglor said in Controller not working as Kempston for Spectrum Games:

Excellent. Does that mean it's in the latest binary update or source update? or not yet?

You may now update via binary or source and should receive changelist 847dbbd (or later if any new changes come in).

You can verify this after you update by selecting "Package version information" and noting the long "Commit" number (should start with 847dbbd)

@mitu well, seems it was really that easy, I didn't do the update obviously. Sorry.

But as a warning to anybody else: I am pretty sure something is going very wrong at the moment. Compiling has been running since my last post. From the file names I think the games that were in scummvm folder are beeing processed aswell... Which I don't believe should be the case :D won't abort this now, I will check the result.

You should change the Audio Device in EmulationStation's settings to one of the entries listed by aplay. If you the option doesn't show up in the menu, then edit es_settings directly and fill in the AudioDevice there.

front:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
Front Speakers

surround21:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers

surround40:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers

@mitu

Thank you for your help
One of the kids must of reset the es.system.cfg
All rom directories are pointing to /root/RetroPie and all my ROMS are /home/RetroPie. !

it is a shame I don’t know how to tweak KIOSK mode & kids mode so you can still get the benefits from using Full UI Mode

Hi @mitu, I keep digging and find strange stuff, look at this...

pi@retrocade:~$ sudo amixer scontrols Simple mixer control 'HDMI',0 pi@retrocade:~$ amixer scontrols Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Simple mixer control 'Capture',0

@sleve_mcdichael said in A question about EmulationStation scraper.:

I know Skyscraper have this option, but the issue i had with it is the size of 2D box, they are small and not big like ES scraper.

Also configurable: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/ARTWORK.md

Here is the artwork.xml file I use for a flat box-art and (separate) marquee image:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <artwork> <output type="screenshot" resource="cover"/> <output type="marquee" resource="wheel"/> </artwork>

I used your artwork.xml file and it works!
Without your help I would not have made it, it was to complex for me. Thank you very much!!

@WeirdH thank you, but i solved setting a lower resolution.

@mitu yes, thank you. I finally found a good romset.

I finally got the Amiga emulation to work! This is how I did it.

Since I had Amiberry already installed, I removed it and its config file from /opt/retropie/configs/amiga (all .cfg files in that folder). I installed kick13.rom, kick20.rom, and kick31.rom with the correct CRC in bios/amiga. I used the wiki to get this information. I then installed Amiberry from source. I did it by launching Retropie Setup from Retropie. I selected Manage Packages->Optional Packages. I selected Amiberry and chose to install from source. Back in Retropie, I restarted Emulation Station.

I selected Deluxe Galaga (which, of course, was stored in roms/amiga) and it worked! I was having a problem with it not saving the high scores. However, I discovered that if I pressed ESC from within the game, it exited to DOS and then would save the high scores.

@penciltester said in about to downgrade my raspberrypiOS, one question:

When you say "manual install", are you referring to a different method than using the install script found in the github repository? If so, could you point me towards the instructions to do this properly?

No, you still use the script following the docs.

So, if anyone cares... Went back to an old image, upgraded everything and went from there. Seems to all be working. I don't know what got out of sorts.

I'm glad I figured out that the latest version of Retroarch saves controller configurations as overrides. That took a minute, but now trackball and spinner can both work as appropriate.

@mitu It doesn't let me verify it
