One final note...

I had been doing all of my testing on an x86 platform. Since moving the scripts/overlays to my RPI4, I had to increase the sleep outside the loop to 2 otherwise it wouldn't pause.

#! /bin/bash while ! pgrep retroarch >/dev/null; do : sleep 1 done sleep 2 echo -n "PAUSE_TOGGLE" | nc -u -w1 127.0.0.1 55355

Emulator: emulation station / retropie / mame

Emulation Station and Retropie are not emulators, and Retropie supports a number of different MAME versions. See here for a list. Which one did you try?

The default MAME of the official Retropie image is lr-mame2003 which uses the romset of MAME 0.78. You can see the emulator used (and change it) in the Runcommand Launch Menu.

You'll need the right romset for your MAME version, other romset will probably fail or cause problems. See lArcade and Validating, Rebuilding, and Filtering ROM Collections for more information about that.

@quicksilver
In buffered I get this, but I don't know how to change it in lr-ppsspp, but in ppsspp it gives me a black screen.

I wonder if any "good brand" TV of that time has also this problem ?

Telefunken used to be good, they sold the name, its not really telefunken anymore.
DGM is a total unknown brand.

I wonder if any LG TV has audio problems.

@justcarp Please don't reply to 3 years old topics. Open a separate topic and ask your question, referencing this topic if needed.

@retropieuser555 yeah I'm finding that works great to be honest..

I know @BuZz you said you need more info... But there's no info in the docs for the others..... So not really sure what else you'd expect me to have posted

If you mean reporting an issue... I wasn't really doing that... I just meant it narrowed my choices...

Quite happy with vrscumm.... Happy to take feedback though as you all do a great job here

Many of my friends who are IT professionals avoid spaces in filenames and directory names, because you'll never know when they will cause problems.

To satisfy our human need for readability, underscores are the next best thing to spaces.

RENAME ISNT AND OPTION because files are on network drive and other programs already are configured to this.

And re-configuring those programs reallly wasn't an option? If the mountain will not come to the prophet, the prophet must go
to the mountain.

Thank you for clarifying @BuZz

@stattmone If you're using the standalone emulator, then the configuration you've done have no effect. Look in the /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg file and re-arrange the controllers there (look for [Input-SDL-Control1], [Input-SDL-Control2], etc.). The same file is available at \\retropie\configs\n64, if you're using file shares to access your Pi.

Managed to work it out and got the FBA optional package installed, buzzin.

@dankcushions @mitu Nevermind, I figured out the problem. I didn't configure it right. My apologies for bumping posts.

@BuZz You're absolutely right it's working perfect now thank you

@Kaydron said in Emulation game-start scripts folder:

I will be reading into shell scripting a bit more to hopefully eliminate questions here relating to shell scripts. If anyone has a couple sites that would be good reference paste them here.

The canonical reference is https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/, highly recommended for anyone starting or learning Bash scripting.

Yes, I've enabled wifi and ssh, copied bios files and one GBA rom to test. When I open the rom with gasp its not work, but with mgba is ok but slowdown.

Okay.

It appears screensaver controls only work with videos - is that right?

Also, while it did initially work setting the screensaver to activate after 5 secs, it decided it didn't like it after a while, and it appears fine with it set back to the minute again. (I'm assuming the GUI not allowing me to go below a minute is something of a warning, here.)

So now my main question really is: has anyone used Skraper recently? It seems great, but try as I might I cannot get the video resizing to work.

@lostless said in RPi4 USB ports guide:

@gordonfreemanjr Ignore what the controller is showing on its LED face.

I agree. My bluetooth Wii U Pro clone gamepads also only light the first player LED even if they are working fine for different players in Retropie.

You could also convert the cue/bin files to one chd file and save some disk space along the way. I explained here how to do it on Retropie or any other Debian-based Linux. Its as easy as copying three comand lines to the console.

@Brunnis I just tried this but my tv says it's an unsupported resolution.

@Riverstorm no worries. 😊
