Ok that's good to know (how messy they usually are).
I'll follow your advice then and will start my own project from scratch.

As this was an inappropriate question please feel free to remove it!

Cheers

Sorry for the delay in replying. The only other thing in my 'fba' folder is another folder called 'fbneo' which has a file called galaxian.hi (high score I presume) along with other games with .hi extensions. Some files in there have an .fs extension, Galaxian doesn't have an .fs file here though.

Nothing at all now in the 'fba' folder as my games are now in 'mame-libretro'. No other files in 'mame-libretro' other than the rom zips.

Hmm....

@hawkes_84 we only support the rpi4 on Raspbian

@mauroque said in Retropie no longer loads desktop:

could be a dick too and mention how nobody helped me with my controller problems with PS1 games last year.

Looking at your topic from last year, I don't see this to be true - you got help. How about your come back in another year or so ?

I don't think there's a RetroArch's option to fix what it looks like an overclocking issue - your overclock may not be stable.
Try removing your overclock and try one of the other N64 emulators - mupen64plus, the standalone N64 emulator, or lr-mupen64plus-nx , the newer version of the libretro N64 emulator core.

@ratedrguy said in Error running any script including RetroPie-Setup:

Module /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh is missing valid rp_module_desc

It looks like you created this file incorrectly - this file is not part of RetroPie - attempting to install another version of openbor. Deleting the file would have fixed the problem.

Never mind ..figured out doom 2 tnt and plutonia are all 32 levels in size and share the music file names.

@mitu Many thanks! Just managed to post what I needed to!

David.

@ven9 Please open a new topic for your issue - and add more details about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

You could just make a custom collection and then just add 2 player games to it. I did this to create a separate list of vertical screen arcade games from horizontal ones.

@mitu Thank you. That's all I needed to know.

yes, i am pretty sure as i built a new Image from scratch when "Stretch" was introduced.
I did not install any drivers (i dont know any besides the "sixaxis"-one anyhow ;)) anymore but just used the bluetooth-tool.
My PS3-pads are still in the device-list and do work if i connect them.
I have no idea why it is not working for you, i hope someone else reads this here and can give more hints!

@ferhound Dreamcast is in great shape on the pi 4. Between redream and flycast almost all games run extremely well (minus WinCE games).

You haven't added any details about your system - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
To get a detailed log file from the emulator, enable debug logging from Runcommand launch menu when launching the game, then exit the emulator and post the contents of the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) on pastebin.com.

@Zangdaarr said in Roms are on a network folder, but writing seems to fail:

That seems way more interesting, thank you I will investigate rsync, is there anyway for a sync job to simply wait and put the sync in queue if the connection is severed ?

rsync is just a synchronization/copy command, it's not a service that keeps tab on files. You can run it periodically and it will synch only the changed data, keeping transfers to a minimum. If your backup location is not available, it will fail.

Hi every one.

I used command line in Terminal

lsusb

and I got this information:

How to know where is mine?
I use this one oncoder:

This is an old question but an answer is necessary!

The support for M.A.M.E.'s artwork using external zipped archive (containing .art and .png files, archive placed in the artwork directory) is present from 0.61 to 0.106 versions. After 0.106 version the .art file has been subsitutedd by .lay xml file.

In versions previous than 0.61 the artwork is supported at driver level, so it is hardcoded.

mame4all is a version based on 0.37b5 so it will never works

How many raspberries on boot at the top left? If only one then you have a RPI1 not a 2.

@grant2258 Thanks Grant. I can't understand what's in that link, I'm afraid....beyond my pay-grade. But I'm OK with using the USB keypad to make it work.

If by flash driver you mean an USB based drive, then yes. You can store your roms on a separate flash drive (as shown here) or you can install your entire OS on a flash drive - as detailed here, though you'll still need a sdcard to program the Pi first and this method is not yet supported on the new Pi4 model.
