Make sure you have correct usb order:

alt text

and do the HEX edit the driver, it's a common issue with zero delay controller, the up and down detect as "3" isn't right:
HEX Edit the driver

@Leo said in PC (MS DOS) roms not showing:

@Dochartaigh Got what sorted? I downloaded the exact same games from the exact same site as before and now I have to load them onto retro pie instead of simply cut and pasting into the PC folder?

It IS copy and paste - and after a reboot you'll see all the folders you dropped into the roms/PC folder show-up in the DOSBox/MS-DOS menu item just like Nintendo or SNES or N64 ROMs show up in RetroPie. The only difference is you then have to go into these folders, and click on the DOS executable file (usually a .EXE or .BAT or sometimes a .COM) to launch the DOS game.

EXCEPT when the files you downloaded are installation files instead of the working game files. So just like if you had an old MS-DOS computer, and were using floppy disks, you would have to install the game off the floppies (or CD), to a folder on your hard drive. Then AFTER you do that, you can again reboot and go into the DOSBox/MS-DOS RetroPie menu item and launch the executable file to launch the game.

Another exception is games that use a CD rom along with the installed files on your hard drive. The most common example is probably Warcraft II. It needs files installed to your hard drive, AND a CD-ROM to be able to play the full game. This takes some coding ad you have to setup a little script file to mount the CD in DOSBox.

Also, you might be confusing this process with the RetroPie Ports. On those, I think you can simply drop the files into the directory and it'll just run. Most common examples are Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, and Wolfenstein 3d. These need to be installed from the optional packages in RetroPie setup BEFORE you drop those files into the correct folder. ScummVM is also another drag and drop platform on RetroPie that plays old DOS games which is very much drag and drop....so you have options.

Hello. I kicked the Kontron board away. i found an itx mini board in my stuff.
there is a 1 ghz cpu on it i put 512 md DDR ram on it but lakka Fails to start
(i think the vga is the reason) i could buy a pci nvidia or ati grafik Card
but i dont wont to investigate Money in this projekt.
i installed Windows xp on this machine and it runs fine.
i think i try to install Emulation Station. but this is not the whole Thing that
i wanted. i readed that Debian is installable on a usb stick and my question
is: starts it faster than Windows xp home? and can i pu emualtion Station
as an autorun like Windows?

Then again, people make portables inside an Altoids tin, so a Zero in a MegaDrive or Atari cartridge should work, it just depends on your goals for the build.

I can confirm that ballanux' fix solves my problem. Thx!!
Eagerly anticipating a more elegant and durable fix.

edit: Problem permanently fixed: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1767

@edmaul69 Yes! such an option does not exist there. in Pico Drive all ok. the problem is not with retropie. problem with fresh core LR genesis plus.

@tymo614 RetroPie themes are stored on Github repos so you can download a zip, extract it and copy it to your USB stick. If you wish to restore the default Carbon theme, then you can download it at: https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon

Once you have the theme on your USB stick, then place the es-theme-carbon-master folder in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/themesfolder on your pi. When you restart EmulationStation, the theme should be available under UI settings in the ES menu.

You can find many of the themes at the RetroPie Github page: https://github.com/RetroPie, themes repos begin es-theme-{name of theme}.

If you can't find a theme, then you can check the source here and google for it.

@BuZz said in How to uninstall a configured joystick / Kodi crash:

Looking at the log it looks as though your sony controller is still connected - Kodi does crash with ps3 controllers. Please format logs/code in code blocks when posting - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

I don't have sony controller a Sony controller or a PS3 controller.
I tried to remove/clear any configuration file that recall sony controller but with no success.

Anyway I solved with a clean installation of retropie. ES recognizes just my two controllers (logitech gamepad and keyboard), Kodi works great.
Thanks anyway

Great thanks, Will definitely try the Steven Selph's Scraper and hopefully it will fill in the missing meta data from the ES scraper.

Hotkeys still don't work and when ever I configure my controllers in emulationstation, the other one doesn't work in a game and I have to configure everytime I turn on my pi.

@Rascas kodi no limits is a pirate version of kodi. the OP has no need of our help as his setup violates the forum rules.

@cyperghost What i did was i cut everywire out. And only used Usb wire reason is it's a little more handle current up to 3 amps and a little thicker wire i was using 26 awg wire Now I'm using 24 awg wire. Also shorting the wires a little more to clear up some of the static which i think that is what it is. Plus i went to https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4269/popeye-pi-foldable-rpi-zero-in-a-car-monitor/2 your link cyperghost and i use that code on mine just change a few things around to match my screen. And the result is i got about 99.5" clean signal from it. There is a little static left on the screen but it is not as bad or worse then before.

On that note How can i make the text font and images a little bigger i can not read the text not even in settings area?

@KillerQ you can set different mappings even for specific games. ;-)

@gnome73 basically it's like a little GPIO board that plugs into a USB port on the Pi. Mapping isn't a problem, it took me a long time to work out how to do it, but thank you for your response. I'll give it a go once it's all up and running. Much appreciated guys.

Thanks BuZz! That made it. I hope it will now stay like that in the future.

Hello Marky,

thanks a lot for your support! I'll search for the thread you point me...

Best Regards Giampaolo
