@sammylj Hmm. That escape exit situation sounds like you still have hotkeys enabled. Scan through your retroarch.cfg for hotkey and set it to "nul" or comment out the setting. I am running with a dedicated exit (escape) and I don't need to press anything else, just my single exit button.

@trailjacker said in Sselp Scraper Command Line vs Sselp GUI Menu:

No, I hadn't used the -mame=true command, I must have missed that one.

The Wiki page has an outdated parameters list. You can list the current parameters by running the command

/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper --help

@spiky
Well thanks for trying anyhow! I have it working on dosbox on my laptop, no issue what so ever. Must be some config in my Pi's dosbox that won't allow it to work. Will need to continue research, thanks!

@mitu Thanks for the quick response. I just ended up using my Pi1 and used a 2.5 speaker jack. Odd reason that pi3 did not want to pick up the 2.5 speaker jack or find the USB speaker... Weird.

@jocaedu Are you sure your controller/usb cable are OK ? 1 gamepad detected implies the keyboard is detected, but not the controller.
As for the image, I don't think there is such a thing as Windows User-Friendly drivers on the Linux, but over USB the controller should be detected ok. Please give more details about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - especially about your controller model and version.

I ended up just putting all the ps1 games on my new 500gb HDD, so solved

Okay, I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly Genesis games work. I'm not sure if it was bad roms like @mitu said or if it was bad naming conventions on my end (changed both at the same time), but seems to function now either way.

Thanks again everyone for the help!

@barmanphysics Is the save file a STATE save or did you use an ingame save point? If it's ingame, then you could also try the other ps1 emulators, to see if it's related to the emulator you're using. (I'm not 100% sure if you can use save files between emulators.)
I am planning to play FFVII on my Pi but it will take months before I'm where you are now.

@dogeymon Check the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FinalBurn-Alpha/#pifba - you should edit the config file at /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg.
Btw, why don't you give lr-fbalphaa try ? It has support for more ROMs than pifba and you get the RetroArch RGUI for any kind of settings you want.

Well, then I voided the warranty, I knew that in the back of my mind but didn't think about it so late at night. :( Luckily it's a $10 board.

But being back in March, this was resolved in Raspbian according to the links but I had the issue on a new Pi Zero W the other day with the latest image of Retropie for Pi1/0.

I'll have to remove the flag and see if it fixed it when I upgraded the sd card ( cant remember if i did it right before or right after, I was half distracted by Smallville reruns).

Thank you

For anyone interested, this has been tracked down to the use of an external Bluetooth dongle and having the onboard Bluetooth disabled with dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt.

The retropie_wiimote_lights script by pyhammond works fine with the onboard Bluetooth. Fingers crossed they can sort it for an external Bluetooth dongle as well as it's a really useful script for people with WiiU Pro controllers!

Thanks.

That’s handy to know, when I moved my lad’s system from a zero to a pi3, I had issues with saves. Thanks

to anyone else, this was added because of this thread on github
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1743

@ramchip I'm afraid I can't think of what it could be. Sorry!

Yes the sd card is fully seated.

Seems like RetroPie... I think the guy took it, added the rest to it and uploaded to share.

My arcade build got derailed temporarily, and was split between using a Pi or a PC based system... had lots done on it and files etc, but never got everything working quite right.

Niece was really interested in it though and likes the old NES/SNES games so, figured for Xmas I'd get one of those NesPi cases and a 16GB card and well, time's a factor so hoped the 16GB Mad Little Pixel image would be better than what I accomplished on my own, but, seems to be a pain in the @$$. :D

That said, attract mode works... though not sure I like it more than the standard RetroPie/ES screen. Has sound and video... but also lag and takes longer to scroll through stuff.

I'll give those a try when I get home. Hopefully a quick fix. :)

Hi everybody,

I finally found the reason. Unfortunately I MOVED the ATARI 800 games from one installation to another. Though there were no roms present in the Atari800 the emulator did not show up in emulationstation.
