I was instructed in one of the threads on here to make an alias to the folder on the usb drive containing the roms and just replace the folder in the retropie roms folder with the same named alias. That also works. One thing that I like about that is I could at any time just delete the alias and replace with a folder to return it to reading off the sd card, or you could have part of a folder on the usb and part on the sd (if you don’t mind having two subfolders in ES).

@mitu thank you for your reply, sorry i was distracted for a few days. I didnt figure out how to make variables work but i was able to make a txt file that i could read/write as a varriable so im good now.

@mitu it’s the little mini screen that shows the game. I’d send a pic but it won’t let me on here. It only shows the top left corner of the game

Hi @asksolutions01 !

It was fixed using the information in the thread above. I had to disable the EDID detection and add manual configuration settings on my display via the config file.

This is also the info from the online documentation:

hdmi_ignore_edid
Setting hdmi_ignore_edid to 0xa5000080 enables the ignoring of EDID/display data if your display does not have an accurate EDID. It requires this unusual value to ensure that it is not triggered accidentally.

Link to the documentation website

Great. That worked. The configuration has been saved to the file.

Regarding the theme for the Commodore 128...

I have found the Commodore 128 system logo from UDb23 (c128_ingo_udb.svg)
Is there also a keyboard image (red) for the C128 available like for the C64?
I haven't found anything yet.

Then my system integration into ES is nearly perfect. :)

Thank you for the support again it was a great help to sort out the errors!

@dankcushions no I wouldn’t ask you to and thank you it’s really helping me and I promise no more questions (for tonight at least)

@stoney66 said in Player 3 and 4 controls not working:

Which mame emulator?

I have close to your same setup, minipac for P1/P2 with real arcade sticks/buttons and two usb xbox style controllers. My issue was with advmame and was that the controllers were already mapped to p1/p2, and when I mapped my minipac to p1/p2 then both were setup on same player. The fix for me at least was to delete the mappings for p1/p2 first and then set minipac to p1/p2 and xbox ones to p3/p4.

If you are using lr-mame-2003 etc not sure if that would be the same problem but worth checking. There are also different roms for 2p vs 4p ones for simpsons and tmnt. Not sure about the other two. I never tried a 2p one, so not even sure it shows 4 players as an option on those.

Thank you for the heads up. I've managed to get this resolved. for my 4 player games I set it to use lr-mame-2003 instead of lr-fbneo. The mame2003 emulator is much easier to work with. Once the game loaded up I pressed tab on the keyboard and then amended the input for the game. I reconfigured the buttons for each player and now it works as expected.

NBA JAM threw me as if you want 2 players to play on opposing teams the joysticks have to be setup as player 1 and 3. Player 2 and 4 are on the usb gamepads as they are the team mates for player 1 and 3.

@dankcushions Perfect! I'll invest in a bigger Micro SD Card and then give it a go. Thank you so much!

@Clyde That makes sense - I set up my Pi3 about 18 months ago, so that would have been the last time I really messed around with shaders and options.

I have the files zipped.
I go try unzip in folder see if works.

The files are :
Border Down v1.000 (2003)(G.rev)(NTSC)(JP)(en)[!].gdi
track01.bin
track02.raw
track03.bin

Delete all *.hi and *.nv-files in the ~/hi and ~/nvram folders of your mame4all-directory.

If you meant the default scores which are given by the developers of the arcade-machines: you cannot reset them, they are hardcoded.

I was seeing the same and it was the errors being thrown by the audio issues introduced with Raspbian Buster: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26628/audio-issues-after-latest-raspbian-updates

@quicksilver said in Widescreen mod for gemrb on arm?:

The issue with the window not scaling properly is a quirk of the pi 4 and the fkms driver. I have run into this same issue with dosbox and other emulators.

No, it's not and I would appreciate if you would stop saying that.

Yikes. My apologies, obviously I am mistaken.

Hi Eisbergsalat

I bought an EasySMX controller recently for retropie use, but I can't for the life of me get retropie to recognise it at all. Did you do anything different to get it recognised, i.e. load any additional modules etc?

Thanks

Evan

Open the options on the Retroarch menu and there's an option whose label I forget that will "map directions to digital" instead of analog. It's set to analog by default. I had to do it a few days ago.

See if it works.

@mitu Ok, now i just heard that i did have sound on my previews, even when i select games! It is just veeeeery low. The screensaver sound is still on the right volume level, so do not know why they differ, but i vill try to investigate.
