@bigbellyman worked like a dream . I approached it slightly different. Copied the theme I wanted to edit to my pc and edited it all there and then copied it over no problems.

@spacebiscuit there is no 'main rom' for MAME/arcade. 'outrun.zip' will have many variants with different contents with exactly the same name. outrun.zip from MAME 0.37b5 will not be the same as outrun.zip from MAME 0.220, for example. there will be a version of outrun.zip that runs in FBNeo - it is the one with the romset version listed here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FinalBurn-Neo/

there's no need to do trial and error and trying different MAME/FBA emulators, you simply download the romset collection for the emulator you are trying to use.

.sh files are not understood by lr-dosbox, but they should work withdosbox - as mentioned in the topic you referenced.

The preferred way would be to use .conf file for launching your games, where you can set your dosbox preferences and add an [autoexec] section for launching the game itself. For instance (game.conf):

[autoexec] MOUNT c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc C: cd GameDir Game.exe EXIT

The .conf files are understood by both dosbox and lr-dosbox.

We don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones loaded with ROMs. Note that selling preloaded RetroPie systems is against the project's license.
Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download to install RetroPie.

@mitu said in Right Analog Left Configuring Issue:

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

Try to update the packages in RetroPie after installation, as described in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/, then try again re-configuring the controller(s) in EmulationStation.

That is very helpful! thank you

@SanyaIV said in Run custom action on custom hotkey?:

What I want to do: ADD a hotkey that does a CUSTOM action.
The hotkey: DualShock 4 contoller [Share] + [PS Button]
The action: Run a script (The script will toggle vcgencmd display_power 0 and vcgencmd display_power 1)

Hi Sanya,

Maybe you could achieve what you want by using Triggerhappy with configurations like here?:

@Katzenfutter To be fair, I just played that first scene a few times on my end and no significant slowdown on the Pi3 nor the Pi4. I am convinced at this stage that i might either be an options thing (do send them over) or just your memory tricking us in that that same slowdown probably occurred on the real hardware.

@BuZz I didn't copy anything on my 4.6 fresh install. Permission issue arose immediately. Of course I should be able to fix with chown.

Finally figured this out. You need to enable both the SFTP and SSH logins.

Click Edit --> Advanced. Choose the Tunnel menu under the Connection Category.

Check the "Connect through SSH tunnel" and type in the same info you used for the SFTP.

@ByteThis Darn... I don't have one... Can you post me the Number Meaning to here for me when using the Config... I dont want to go all out on here

@mitu Ah well, thanks anyway - I posted it as an issue in github to see if the retroarch - developers can help
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/10114

I did.

I actually managed to solve the problem. I needed to do a sudo reboot and reApply the video, but then the video would start to play and crash and then the pi would be frozen. It would still work with ssh and with a bunch of tinkering I realized it was my overclock causing the freeze. I removed the oc on gpu memory and dropped the GPU and v3d clocks to 700 and it works fine now.

Not sure what made me try tinkering with the oc, but I'm glad I did...

Now if I could only get psp games to show up and n64 games to play decently I'll be set.

Please stop spamming the forum topics - this is not how a forum works and it's rude.
You didn't provide any of the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, please do so and we'll be able to provide better assistance.

@mitu a huge thank you! It works like a charm!

Please post your system details as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Are you rebooting/shutting down your system from the EmulationStation menu ? If EmulationStation is not cleanly shut down, the favorite information is not properly saved.

All settings are okay for free access. I tried installing the desktop Raspian but it does not allow for hidden networks so I have no way to check if it is just Retropie.

That worked! Your a star, thank you :)
