@mitu I understand. I really appreciate all your help. It appears to be working well enough to use. I tested between a 12 year old Visio 1080p and a 3 year old 4k Sony Bravia and it works equally well on both.
Only complaint I have now is a nitpicky one. When in the menus the audio click I hear when scrolling is delayed and has inconsistent tonalities that are grating to the ear. Can only be described as sometimes scratchy and sometimes clicky. Lol. I can live with it if no ideas on that one. When in games the audio is fine and right on time.

@mitu Ill give that a go. Thank you

@marisubopa are you still experiencing the issue reported here with the latest picodrive ?

@mitu Thank you very much! It's all working now. I apologize, I totally missed the "But be aware that if "Launch Menu Art"..." part. Thanks again.

@RaspFox said in Help Needed: Can I have RetroPie and RaspberryPi OS on the same SD card?:

So it won't work for Bullseye?

Well it can work on bullseye but you have to edit some files.
Without a lot of experience it could be quite difficult for you and you can encounter some more problems.
Take a look at this thread/post :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31924/could-not-successfully-build-sdl2-on-bullseye/8

Is there a way to save some apps that I have downloaded such as Pi Apps.

if you go with Buster these Pi Apps should probably work too.
Just use a second SD card and try it before you wipe your first SD.
Than you can work out if it will work.

These configs will not be defaulted by reinstalling the emulator. These will be stored in the default.cfg and game.cfg files. These should be located in a "mame2003/cfg/" directory in the location you load your mame roms from.

@mitu the method is still in config.txt so I guess it refers to Raspi OS as you said.

For the touchscreen it uses a command in the file usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

Thank you @mitu

I will have to chase an older model pi. Now I regret not buying the 3b that I saw gathering dust at one shop a couple of months ago.

@iLouzze I don't know if there's any way to turn it on automatically without an external timer. You could probably set up a "cron job" to shut it down (I don't know how to do that, though, I have only heard of it as a way you can set up scheduled events.)

@ChaosEffect said in Tips for RetroArch 1.10.0:

@mitu I am not sure how often RetroPie's RetroArch will sync with upstream RetroArch. This is more of a typo correction than a new feature, but it makes the lightgun input operate as intended.

Thanks for the heads up. We don't update too often and we base the update on RetroArch's point releases, I guess it's one more reason to consider the next release for inclusion :).

@Floob That worked. Thanks.

I was able to sort this out.

The "PS3 Controller" driver in the driver packages causes a conflict with the Atari VCS Classic Controller over Bluetooth. Uninstalling it allows the VCS Classic to work.

Obviously, this makes it so the only way you can use a PS3 controller wirelessly is to add it using the native driver, which doesn't provide rumble/force feedback. But the controller still operates file as a gamepad.

Not ideal, but I'd rather have both controllers available, instead of rumble.

@Floob
Thats a good idea. I will try that next. I will use a clean retropie setup and install amiberry there.

Not sure what config files i have to look for though
Im pretty sure i wiped everthing that could have anything to do with amiberry before i installed 5.0 (or 5.1) from the setup script.

@windg Those are likely handhelds made by Tiger Electronics.

JUE

Probably the region coding: Japan, **US and Europe. It looks like a Windows game, so that won't run on RetroPie without Wine. It was released for the Megadrive/Genesis also, so you can probably play it through emulation.

@mitu Holy WOW! Issue was using 4.8 vs 4.7.1. Also needed to update the config.txt file... Immensely appreciate the link to the to the correct OS and config files!!! Got it working for HDMI, now trying CRT... (CRT is not working but need to figure out how to change the config file to allow HDMI to DVI adapter...)

@mitu YOU ROCK!!! Thank you

@mitu Thanks! I forgot, that individual controller settings can be done by the quick menu. I set it to "---" now an it works.

@mitu

Wonderful.

I am happy to see that I am not insane. I really appreciate your reply.

The link to the screen monitor on Amazon goes nowhere.
This is not a RetroPie issue - you should ask in the LibreElec forum or search their forums first. Maybe you need an additional configuratio for the screen.

@jawsisra said in 4.8 Emulationstation Problems:

Power Supply used: Do not know the name of it. It has a switch to turn off the power

is this the way you shut down retropie / the raspberry pi?
