@epicrean You should turn off Save Metadata on Exit as described here:

@dankcushions Thanks for the tip, I changed the setting to 5:4via the Configuration Editor, that then made the changes to the retroarch.cfg file and that's now the default when I load games. Interesting that by changing it manually it did not work. Anyway, thanks again for all the help over the past few days. I hope this thread is useful for someone else one day who also wants to use a CRT and really wants fullscreen :)

Hi,
I found a work around, set up the controller in RetroArch, or change the 小米蓝牙手柄.cfg to the following:

input_device = "小米蓝牙手柄"
input_driver = "udev"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+5"
input_l3_btn = "17"
input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
input_start_btn = "15"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "11"
input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_up_btn = "h0up"
input_r_y_minus_axis = "-5"
input_a_btn = "4"
input_b_btn = "5"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_down_btn = "h0down"
input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_r3_btn = "18"
input_right_btn = "h0right"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
input_x_btn = "7"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "14"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "10"
input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_y_btn = "8"
input_left_btn = "h0left"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"
input_l_btn = "10"
input_r_btn = "11"
input_l2_btn = "12"
input_r2_btn = "13"

OK, so after reading a little more, I did the RetroAch setup and compared the ES to the RA generated configs,

So using ES setup :

input_device = "小米蓝牙手柄"
input_driver = "udev"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+5"
input_l3_btn = "13"
input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
input_start_btn = "11"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "11"
input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_up_btn = "h0up"
input_r_y_minus_axis = "-5"
input_a_btn = "0"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_down_btn = "h0down"
input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_r3_btn = "14"
input_right_btn = "h0right"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
input_x_btn = "3"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "10"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "10"
input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_y_btn = "4"
input_left_btn = "h0left"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"

And then using the RetroArch:

input_device = "小米蓝牙手柄"
input_driver = "udev"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+5"
input_l3_btn = "17"
input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
input_start_btn = "15"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "11"
input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_up_btn = "h0up"
input_r_y_minus_axis = "-5"
input_a_btn = "4"
input_b_btn = "5"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_down_btn = "h0down"
input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_r3_btn = "18"
input_right_btn = "h0right"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
input_x_btn = "7"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "14"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "10"
input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_y_btn = "8"
input_left_btn = "h0left"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"
input_l_btn = "10"
input_r_btn = "11"
input_l2_btn = "12"
input_r2_btn = "13"

It seems the 小米蓝牙手柄.cfg file changes, its like RetroArch reads a different key to what ES reads.
I will do as mentioned above and just restore this config after updating each time.

Thanks. Tried turning off the overclock and it didn't help. Power supply is supposedly 2.5A but I will source another one and try it.

Thanks, it's working great now :)

@BuZz I want a more clear image.

You only have to configure it once though. Doesn't take long.

@Richyeah

From the home/root menu of Kodi, move right and select 'System'. The resulting menu will have another listing for 'System'. Select that and go to 'Audio Output'. By selecting the 'Audio Output Device' menu listing, you'll be given a few options. Based on your initial post, I'm a little unsure if you're using HDMI or the 3.5mm jack, so pick whichever one applies to you and see if that does the trick.

thats not me in the video that video is an example of what im trying to acomplish

@PetroRie said in PSX emulator only loading certain games:

That is outdated, the PSX emulator runs multi disks fine. I think this was an issue in an older version. You can swap PSX images via the RGUI menu and it always works. I tried it with Metal Gear Solid and Fear Effect because I couldn't change disks with these games when I played them on my modded PSP. It works fine never had any problems at all with the RGUI menu.
Saving works fine too without any problem. I use save states and in-game saves. Just set the hotkeys to acces the RGUI menu and you should be fine.

Thank Petro I was making the .pbp disks but this will be nicer as it eliminates an extra step to get games working, thank you for the tip. :)

@drmyth It depends which image you are currently using. For 3.8.1 :
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation

But for V4 Beta, I believe you install the ones that you want:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Updating-RetroPie

Either way, you'll want the latest update script before you start tweaking.

Just got it working, when the screen hung on black after steamwood, I went into core options from the quick menu and turned on the bug fixes for parasite eve 2 and inuyasha and the game went on.

@johnodon Yep - especially with the standalone emulators - they differ between what is available for different platforms. But some libretro cores also (eg lr-beetle-psx.sh is available to x86 but not arm currently)

@jlvandusen Neither does mine. Check this post to make sure you have things set correctly.
