Thanks for the quick reply!

@john1967 please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

booting to emulationstation is default behaviour for the official image, however here is how to configure it for a manual installation: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi

Solved the Issue just had to set the resolution in runcommand to the same resolution that was set inside lzdoom and viola no more crashing back to emulation station and losing hdmi signal.

@themazingness https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/ (at least that one worked for me on 20.04.1 LTS a few weeks go), though co do [final edit:] to build some additional (optional/experimental (can't remember which one, could have been lr-mame 2016)) packages, it was neccessary to install python 2 (which is EOL, and therefore not included with UBU20).

@gizmo90 said in Apparently this post by floob is really useful for understanding the save setting of retroarch is are confusing as hell. Does anyone know if the image is available anywhere else?:

but each time the title is loaded I get the following in yellow text at the bottom of the screen.
Failed saving config to "apt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg"

This looks like a permissions problem. There is also a recent issue with RetroArch not saving the configuration (reported here), which should be solved if you update the RetroArch packag from source.

Override saving might also be an issue with permissions - check the permissions on the following folders:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch /opt/retropie/configs/snes

@soraroxas please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@adambegood Thank you i did think it might be that. Thanks for your reply

@bollwerk I tried it now and sometimes the game loads, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it works without the menu screens. Weird. I am using an experimental kernel and the kms video driver so there might be bugs with that.

Here's a verbose log: https://pastebin.com/25ZvhUBh

Seems to work fine on fb-neo.

The RetroPie Docs have a very detailed chapter about Spinners, Trackballs, Lightguns, Mice .

For the fine tuning of the spinners' sensitivity for each game, I used MAME`s own so-called tab menu that comes up when you press the tab key. See this video about how to do that:

Two more useful references about spinners:

@mitu Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for!

@asmax Yes, even so.

Please add some more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

What emulator/game are you starting ? The libretro emulators (starting lr-) should be auto-configured after you set-up the gamepad in EmulationStation, but if it's one of the other stand-alone emulators, additional configuration may be needed.

@simpleethat thanks for the info. Yeah, they are both 16x9, 1080 is 1920x1080 and 720p is 1366x768. I think everything is set to 1920x1080 on my pi currently. Hoping to find out if I have to change any settings to step down to 1366x768 (720p) for proper framing?

@kelkyko Then it might be in the alternative location ~/.emulationstation/gamelists/arcade. Try that path after the cd command. If the error occurs again, show us the output of the second of these commands (but execute both in that order):

sudo updatedb locate gamelist.xml

Just to be sure, you are using the correct system in the path? (arcade or wherever else your roms reside in).

Yes, you can use ARRM.
