@red2blue said in Arcade Questions (Romsets, Updating, MAME FBA):

@dankcushions so i finally got the 0.2.97.42 romset, when i replace my 0.2.97.39 romset do i overwrite the .39 roms or can i just skip???

some .39 ones will work in current FBA, some won't. i personally replace all.

also when i compare, 2.97.39 is 10 gb's larger than 42's

sets can be merged, non-merged, complete, just parents, etc. all these methods result in different sizes. there's various ways of building a romset, and i guess your two sets were done in different ways.

Eh, what exactly do you mean by 'getting stuck in Kidmode'?
Do you mean you cannot unlock the UI mode back to full? Or that you want to revert to stock ES?

yes, I've posted to DFRobot Bluno Bee forum. Hopefully, there'll be a reply soon.

There's a suspicion on the Raspberry PI forum that BLE devices are not supported in Raspbian. Interesting ...

Anyway, if anyone has a BLE device or gamepad working in RetroPI, that'll help a lot!

@ruckage i should of figured as much. probably one of the last music files i downloaded i need to just delete. what about the error finding message? any thoughts? also where do i go to find these error logs?

It was a power issue. I replaced my USB cable and now all MK games are running at full speed. Oddly enough, I started getting random crashes on Kodi after that.

@mydriaze Oh, the games still go in the megadrive folder, the platform.cfg file just changes the display and scrapping settings.

Oh, this is the txt you'd need in the platform.cfg file if you create it:

megadrive_theme="genesis"
megadrive_platform="genesis"
pcengine_theme="tg16"
pcengine_platform="tg16"

Then after creating that file and putting it in /opt/retropie/configs/all/ you need to update the TG and genesis cores, and you're good to go.

Solution found!

Just install retropie again.

I couldn't find anything on how to fix it but reinstalling worked

@meleu the "Hack on" was the issue, but i noticed it didnt well with it off. the problem i found was that the Firmware update didnt go through on the controller, once i was finally able to get it updated and reset it up following the step by step guide you linked i was able to get it working perfectly and connecting every time. Thanks for your help in my small matter.

@tropez get the correct romset version. Nothing else to research https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/arcade

@bobbensun our guide is here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/ - it's very simple and will work.

we don't support guides written on other sites.

@contoso normally we suggest using select as hotkey, but you could use the PS button. it would just mean all your hotkey actions would be using that button. for example, save state would be PS button + R1, load state PS button + L1, and so on.

Would that cause me to not have access to the retroarch joypads directory?

how are you trying to access it? via command line or?

@skt For anyone interested and not as tech savvy as others (like me) I deleted everything ffrom the configs/psx foldr and reinstalled the PSX emulator from the Emulation Station - Retropie menu.
Worked a treat.

So I ended up doing the following:

I left the basic config in place.

I then tested each game, changing the controller type to analog once the game was started and if it worked, I created a custom config for that game that has the player 1 and player 2 controller set to analog.

So now each game works as it should, some work fine with the default settings and the d-pad only, others work with the analog stick. I couldn't find one blanket setting that worked for all games, I had to test each one and configure different options files for each game that supports the analog controller type. It took a good amount of time, but works like a charm now no matter what game my kid fires up on the unit.

Does anyone know how to change the uae4arm config to set start and select to work? I don't have a proper keyboard plugged in either so I don't have f12!!

@jonnykesh Thanks! :-)

@mitu 1) thank you for responding. 2) I typed in the commands and ran the test. Pressed every button, and all categories said "off" for each button. Not sure what to do next I rebooted. Ran the bluetooth again, configured wii u pro again, and the buttons seem to all work. Going to try adding roms next to make sure.

I have no clue why this just worked all of a sudden, but thanks for the education about the jesse test.

I have experienced the same issue in RetroPie 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3: the the *.srm file gets created when doing an in-game save, but the game can't seem to find the save file when you go to load your saved progress. I have tried various BIOS files, unfortunately without success.

@herb_fargus Yeah, I figured it out later.
I thought the hotkey was a specific button to quit que games.
But thank you for the help!
