Two things of interest to add. First, in searching for more information on this issue, I discovered that the Daphne source was patched for use in RetroPie by forum/team member @shmoopty, and I thought it might help to tag his name in this posting. Second is a listing of the daphne_log_txt from just after running a game with this problem. Again I chose to use 'Us vs. Them' as an example. The lines that read MACH3 NOTE: CPU #1 queried 0x8000 even though nothing is available seem to be reporting the problem as this represents each time I pressed a button that would normally trigger a sound.

Also, on that screen, if you plug in a known controller, it should exit (might need to hold a button down)

I got it, thanks for the help. As a note, if you open the .XML you want to clear and edit it by deleting its contents and saving, the scrape data clears from EmulationStation. But the system still looks for it, so upon exiting or shutting down, you will get a message saying "Cannot find Gamelist" probably as it tries to regenerate it. So yes, I exited ES back to the console and THEN deleted the .XML totally. Restarted, confirmed no scrape data in Arcade, then shut down, and confirmed no more message.

Post support questions in the help / support area.

Please post help/support requests in the Support forum.

PS. I have moved this thread to help/support

Excellent, I've just found out if i back it all up configs etc then run it through SD card formatter it will remove the partitions.

Why are my posts all in code squares ?

Because you used a four space indent which can be used for code blocks. http://commonmark.org/help/

@cujoac said in Back-Up for fresh install:

on't have to go through the trouble of re-coding my control settings and re-scrape my games. Let me know, I'm not sure w

Your main retroarch.cfg which can be found in:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/

Or if you have a windows computer just enter the following path into windows explorer and you should be into the config folder:

\RETROPIE\configs\all

I also would copy the config files of my controllers. They are located in the /retroarch-joypads/ folder which is located in the path I mentioned above. Saved me a ton of headache lol.

I like ice cream.

.7 amps, and it actually tried to boot... Amazing lol...

I second the ultimarc utrak works fine. Also, the dual tankstick works great too

@auswear WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Thanks so much!

@Phoenix

Seek, and ye shall find:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/updating-retropie#making-a-backup-option-1

lol I didn't look for that one as I was more concerned about how to restart the emulationstation remote setup. That's a very handy little step, especially if it's a common issue ;)

Was totally my fault! I forgot I copied across an older config.txt file so it was missing:

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835) dtparam=audio=on

@qrayg

That guide should work, but you'll want to check it against the wiki entry to be sure.

Check this file:
/opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg

You can also access it using the configuration editor
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor

@yusuo you can make changes while in game (lr) via F1. The changes will not save unless you have save on exit on.
This alows you to test some configurations without writing it permanent, until you are ready.

@TheDutyPaid said in no dreamcast roms loading at all now:

@FOGOR The Link was to a post on this very forum, I am not sure why it is not there? I can't find a working link to it, but it was fine when I posted it.

the thread had been deleted.. not sure why. i restored it so it should work now.
