@hackedmacbook111 said in How do I fix retropie freezeing at boot up during login:

The sd card was $30 for High speed 64GB sd card with games on it.

Clearly this is not an official image and it will not be supported here.

All good I'm up to V2.7.6RP

I went into retropie-setup manage packages Manage core packages emulationstation update from source.

Thank you.

Also i have found out i needed to update all emulators from within Retropie-setup. i seems the achievements normally only work with the latest versions of the emulators.

@fraggle200 said in Cabinet Control Panel not detected on new clean image, via Pi2Jamma.:

@mitu I installed Uinput by following a few links for the install but this method ultimately got me installed, just as a precaution it wasn't already there. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=221622

That's not needed, since PikeyD doesn't look like it uses python. There's - similarly - a Linux kernel module named uinput, that I think it's used, but it's loaded by default on a RetroPIe image (you can check /etc/modules).

@Tuaterra said in Problem with Visuals on Gameboy Emulators on Retropie:

When I then try and press some buttons it interacts with the game as if it's running normally as I can tell by the audio giving the sounds of me pressing start on the menu screen, etc, it's just that the visuals do not load at all.

So the video output is sent somewhere else - maybe the system has multiple displays configured, but you haven't provided any details about it.

Going back on this, I know it’s old...

I like to keep my PSX ROMs aligned to the Redump DATs which means .BIN and .CUE files. Also, I’ve found that converting them to .PBP has thrown errors in the past. Not looked into .CHD files but with both these methods of converting ROMs it can be a pain if you have a large collection.

Since this was posted I still use an unzip script but I use .M3U files for multi-disc games (which seem to use a single .BIN and .CUE in Redump terms) and .CUE for single disc games (which Redump seems to either use single .BIN or multiple .BINs).

This method has both storage benefits and save game benefits as the save files are aligned with the .M3U for multi-disc games.

PS. Last time I checked the entire PSX Redump collection was 3.7TB so there are benefits to unzipping into a cache if storage is tight and you’re not doing so to an SD card.

A connection that becomes loose? "The issue comes back."

@DimaKompot I will try that

@mitu thanks for the response. yes, i've just tried changing this - i accessed the RGUI, navigated to Options - MSX Video Mode, and changed it from NTSC to PAL. after resuming the game, the music is slower but i no longer have control of the game - i.e., i my d-pad won't move the character and my buttons aren't mapped as they were before making that change. MSX Video Mode is the only change i made. odd...

if i put it back to NTSC and resume the game, the music is sped up but i still don't have control of the game character. i have to exit the emulator and relaunch the game to get my controller mapping back. is this as expected?

Cool! Thanks all!

mcr

thx man i tried moving them around but never changed the name
it works like a charm thx

@mitu

I try 3 games Final Fantasy VIII, XI and Metal Gear Solid with CD Access Method (Restart) set to synchronous. All games are with .M3U files and .CDx extentions . I use the new disk control menu.

-All games are booting fine
-I start all games from CD2 and when the game ask for CD1 the changes was succesfully
-I use a save file in FF 8 and when the game ask for CD2 the change was succesfully
-I try 3 times to change the disk without the game ask for this (it's not a normal condition) and i had a lock-up and 2 times a black screen(i choose reset from retroarch to get out from this)

Generally, the fixed version working fine without the previous lock-ups during exit and during disk swapping.

Thanks again!

@BuZz Thanks, that was exactly what I meant. I have been sitting on a Pi4 since December and I thought I would put it to work now.

I did this exact thing.

I left the "save on exit" on. I just edited the emulation station button map CFG file to remove the "favorites" button ("Y" for me) map. (I think I mapped it to nothing. It's been a while.) I can still go into the metadata in FULL mode and edit favorites (I still have a favorites list), but the favorites button do anything. I have the button available in games, just not ES. Again, I edited the CFG file in terminal with nano...or in PIXEL with text editor.

@mitu hi there. I've finally sorted it. I didn't put a space between 'sudo nano /boot' .
All works brill now. Ta. :-)

Either that or just disable the video - what good is a 5 seconds video ?

Yes, it can be run.

You should put a more descriptive title - summarizing your question/problem - instead of a generic word.
