We cant support 3rd party images. Ask the images author for help.

thank you, this was it! there was a kodi.sh file in the roms/ports folder ; after deleting that file, Ports is no longer showing and I can still access Kodi through it's own system.

@BGallagherLA Im not a retropie dev so I dont have any insider knowledge to share unfortunately. The most recent WIP build works pretty well but there are still some missing emulators/packages. So the only thing I can say with certainty is that it isnt ready yet.

@RetroResolution Thanks for taking the time to write this post, helped me :)

Ok, it was me not saving the config for the Rom in the Options menu...

Now it works perfectly.

Thanks again.

Thank you so much! It’s working now! Thanks again for the help!

@pjwentink said in crashing n64 roms:

i dont fully understand what you want me to do in the core-options.cfg file..

Well, my idea was to rename it temporarily, thinking that some core options might not get along with your system. Looking at the other log file though, I wonder if something is missing from your system - the EGL library maybe ? Sadly, your system (Vero4k+) is something we deal here very sparsely - it's the first issue in over a year with this configuration.

Try to post some the same info on the OSMC forums, maybe someone there has more experience with your system and the N64 emulator and can figure out what's missing.

I don't know why for @pamput it wasn't set (3rd party image ?).

Nah, I probably just fiddle with it and didn't set it back to ON.

@pjwentink Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Start a new topic and provide details of your set up and issue.

@BJRetro said in New to this, need help!:

@drevil2002 yeah you should have a dedicated start and select button. Makes it much easier for people to use when they know how to put a coin in and how to start the game.

I second that, although without the currency symbols that I fail to add to the yellow coin buttons on my own DIY upright cabinet (recently updated with two spinners, yay!), some people likewise fail to recognize them as coin buttons. ;) I still can't decide if I want to use Dollar ($) or Yen (¥) symbols …

@drevil2002 As for the number of buttons, I recommend at least six per player, or, if you have the space, even eight. Apart from being able to map the four-in-a-row button layout of the Neo Geo and Vectrex controllers accurately, you could put additional functions on the excess buttons like pause, screenshot etc.

@markyh444 I know it’s a raspberry pie 3b+ but forgot the rest of info about what version of RetroPie I have installed I’ll check and report back once I get home thank you.

@mitu I can personally confirm an rpi-update fixed the overscan settings on my Samsung. Obviously I don't recommend rpi-update as it can cause other system issues but in this case overscan was a specific issue it fixed for me.

@pjwentink https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please read it through carefully as it requests that you open your own topic, not necro one from 2 years ago. Appreciate the log, but also in your post please supply all the info requested in the above link. This isn't to be tedious, it will save us a lot of time troubleshooting if we know what we are working with. Nobody wants to spend all day guessing what the problem might be. Thanks!

Ok Thanks.

I have installed the latest version of retroarch, and it ignores the configuration of ../retroarch/autoconfig/*.cfg. Has something changed?

My fault, I gave him update joypad and it blocked my configuration. I deleted it and everything worked perfect.

I know this is an old topic, but I tested the given examples in previous posts and they did not work for me, that is not to say they did not work in older versions of retroarch, for the record I just tested on retroarch 4.5.9 on my retropie handheld system.

To get the ingame hotkey volume control working add the following two lines to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg;

input_volume_up = "up"
input_volume_down = "down"

Below is an example excerpt showing that I added the new lines underneath there reference lines in the retroarch.cfg file, Lines starting with a hash symbol (#) mean that they will not be interpreted, and as a general rule of thumb in linux, often show what default values will be overriden by adding the new lines.

#Line 602... #Increases audio volume. #input_volume_up = kp_plus input_volume_up = "up" #Decreases audio volume. #input_volume_down = kp_minus input_volume_down = "down" #Line 609...

Note: I tend to use the volume control menu in emulation station to set the "master volume" for want of a better phrase then the in game volume for fine grained adjustment.

Hope it helps someone, if so upvote.

That did the trick.....installing lr-flycast, the controls working perfectly. Thanks!
