Didn't you already asked this a couple months ago ?
You got an answer on how to set-up your keys in Emulationstation - did you try applying the steps there to configure your controller ?

Another question: can I switch of the emulator type display in favourites, that thing in brackets:
MOON PATROL [MAME-LIBRETRO]

I think this should be possible for custom collections, though your version of Emulationstation is a bit old for that. How did you install RetroPie ?

@mitu the proper setting is video_rotation = 1, anyway now it appears rotated, I had to change the aspect ratio to fix it.
thank you very much

Try going into the RetroPie Setup Script again and removing then re-installing your MAME emulators. Also do the same with the Runcommand.

Also it helps if you give us more information:

You can use a simple python script to catch GPIO input presses and translate them to volume change commands. Here is an example on how to do that - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=222763.

@benret Raspbian Jessie is no longer supported - I think you get a nice message about that when you try to run the RetroPie-Setup script.

Installation on Buster hasn't been 100% vetted, but most bits should work - support for it will probably be part of the RetroPie release that supports the Pi4.

For now, using Raspbian Stretch will give you the best supported Raspbian version for RetroPie.

RetroPie though uses Raspbian Lite underneath, with very little changes added to the system. As far as wireless/networking goes, there's literally no change from a stock Raspbian Lite installation.

In ES You can press select and edit the game's metadata. Then at the bottom there is a button for scraping.

@jediknight36 Replace the power supply. I've had a $5 chinese power supply for my pi2 give me the lightning bolt like 1-2years later. Opening it up, they used very thin wires that just gave out from the thinness and poor solder job. Replaced them with thicker ones and all's good. Zero issues with my official pi power supplies.

@Dezmancer Try using ScreenScraper as source, I'm not sure TGDB has marquees or if it even works with this particular scraper.

@Clyde i guess it’s these encoder keyboard devices and their strangeness. there’s a whole page on the wiki devoted to them: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Keyboard-Controllers

(personally i think this page is a good indication that retropie doesn’t handle them automatically much at all. if i had one i would want to fix that!)

@phil8715 said in Making Fonts Readable on 1Up Pi-Boy XL:

Basically I'm trying to make the text on the dos type screen larger to make it readable on the Pi-boy

that’s what the console font link above achieves. (“console” in this context = dos type screen)

@fitincontact I'm not sure what you mean. Check out this GPi discord. The author of that script hangs out there may be able to offer better help.

Hi

When I was messing round with lr-dosbox about a year ago you could control the mouse using the gamepad analog stick. I think this is exactly what you are looking for.

Hope this helps, good luck.

You could try lakka

I think I screwed something up on the pre-made retroie image. Because I re-flashed the pi and set I2C to be loaded through sudo raspi-config, now when I reboot it does detect my I2C. One step closer to my mobile retropie!

You'll need to use something like pi-shrink to make the image be as large as its contents (vs. the full copy of the card).

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

What's the resolution of the monitor ? Have you tried to set up the video resolution through raspi-config ?

Why does the dos text on the Retropie image not conform to the size of the screen and make it readable on the Pi-boy?

What makes you think it doesn't ? What's the resolution of the screen ? I suggested - in your other topic - how to increase the size of the console fonts - did you try that ?

Thanks @mitu thats kinda what I needed to know, I'm a bit clueless when it comes to pc monitors and pi's.

@trevevs I wouldn't recommend this solution, especially if your PC has a GPO pushed by the organisation that own said PC.
