Old thread, sorry, but I can't seem to get WA2 to run past the title screen in pcsx-rearmed. It fades to black when I press start, then hangs. Is this a known issue? Can I fix it with specific settings? (I forced NTSC and 640x480, but that didn't fix it). I'll take slow battle music over this any day...

@Rated-R said in Lr-hatari it does not work:

I already delete retroarch.cfg, uninstall and install, then only works for a once, the second time I launch it backs to the emulationstation.

Please open a new topic, providing the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and a verbose log as explained in the topic. Don't bump old topics.

The Pi4 doesn't support the rotate_display parameter anymore - see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md. At some point, it was possible to use display_rotate=2 to flip the screen, but after a firmware update this year, this is also no longer supported.

There is some guidance on how to rotate the display on the Pi4 here or at a similar post here in the forums.

The page linked hints the power draw for the Sandisk to be below 3.5W, so it's not that much. If the disk draws 900mA during peak consumption, there's not much left to 1,200mA for the other 3 devices.
You can test by connecting all devices at once and performing some write intensive tasks on the SSD to see if anything disconnects. If that doesn't work, then get a powered USB3 hub.

Thank you very much

@ImArchimedes said in Rotating screen in emulationstation ONLY:

@Psynaptik I know this post is ancient but I was curious about the specifics or how you rotated attach mode. I'd read on a different thread that it should be done in the layout.nut file but using:

fe.layout.base_rotation = Rotation.Right

I gave this a shot but the screen hasn't rotated.

Also, did you end up installing the package with your install that already had emulation station installed or did you use one of the prebuilt images like the one from Floob?

Thanks a bunch!

You need to type fe.layout.orient=RotateScreen.Left;

or right depending on monitor

Also for games to rotate
Go to opt/retropie/configs/arcade and open retroarch.cfg. Above the #include line you should add...
video_allow_rotate = "true"
video_rotation = "1"

from the Retropie setup menu in EmulationStation enable Runcommand option

select a game to play ... press a button to enter the Runcommand menu and select a lower resolution for the Video Mode than you're currently running the game at.

I will stop using retropie

I'll take that as a yes.

@youxia said in Dualshock controllers on 4.4 with 3B+:

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

The terminal emulator doesn't properly report its name. Try running export TERM=xterm before running the command. If that doesn't work, then use Putty to connect to RetroPie.

And please, don't bump old topics - you should have opened a new one.

THANK YOU @dankcushions !

Your pointer was half of the solution so let me write the other half in case anyone else searches for this answer.

Setting the resolution in the retroarch Options menu did not have any effect until I also turned on "Alternate render method" in the same menu. At that point all resolution changes took immediate effect (upon leaving the retroarch UI) and now this all works perfectly.

I will write up the rest of my method to launch rom-less system soon!

Thanks again.

@mitu That field disappears when I use Safari on my IPAD in this forum. I just switched to a different browser.

Sorry, I didn´t read that mb.

But I will try to get it running with the officcial retropie image!

Thanks for replying anyway :)

@rogeriol Please open a new topic and add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, don't bump old topics.

@mitu By saying that I use Archlinux, it was to say that I understand how it works. In the end I found the "xpad driver" bug. I could already see myself doing a new installation.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is when I run .sh to run retroarch, generate favorites ... from ssh yes. But it is a lesser evil that will have a solution.

My next system with retropie will already be a minipc with ryzen. That although I have all the consoles, I love to emulate.

Turning off "parse gamelists only" setting did the trick. NES loaded and I was able to scrape again and have a new gamelist.xml. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

If you run the RetroPie-Setup script from the terminal - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/ - can you see any error messages ?

@TheRog third party images are not supported here (as outlined in this post), particularly those sold with games already installed. You'll have to contact the seller for support or you can create your own image as outlined here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.

I just tested with 1944.
Mame2010 saves the hiscore.
Mame2016 doesn't.
Unfortunately mame2010 only recognizes 1 joystick.
So it must be due to the mame2016 configuration (?).

Hi Mitu, Thanks for confirming that. I'll move the effected games to use a different Emulator. Cheers Simon
