The only good gba emulator for a pi zero is gpsp. Unfortunately, it does crash on that cutscene on that emulator. It works fine on mgba, but it runs slow on a pi zero.
Also make sure you have a bios file.

@machine_74 this is normal behavior. The only partion that a windows computer can access directly is the boot partition. The other Linux partion, windows doesn't understand what it is and assumes it needs to be formatted. Nothing is wrong with your card, just ignore/close out the format prompts.

@pikey

first off, its worth noting that you need to install a driver for the ps3 controller to connect, so if you havent done that yet, i sugest you try that first, via the retropie setup.
also linux is not windows, so the fact that it works in windows, dosnt automaticly mean it also works in linux.

does the bluetooth adapter work as expected with other bluetooth devices in linux?

edit:
also, are you using an original controller?

only 0 and 1 are registering in your config log file. If your happy using advanced mame just use that. I find stand alone emulators more pleasing to use as well :).

@sirhenrythe5th Thanks for the detailed answer!

@Swedishkiller12 Undervolting a 12V fan on the Pis 5V or even 3.3V pin is not going to give you any benefit. In fact it most likely is going to move a lower volume of air then your 5V fan on the 3.3V rail.

Fan noise really comes down to two things. Air turbulence (fan speed/fin design) and ball bearing quality/noise.

Spinning your fan slower and having an adequate passive cooler on the SOC is likely your best bet.

Have you measured/logged temperatures while under load? If you can do this while running on the 3.3V pin and are staying below the ideal max of 70C (this is not the absolute max, but rather the safe longterm max for most models) then you should be fine.

So..... Anybody?
Throw me a freakin' bone...

@Smythius said in Intellivision was working and doesn't now.:

I think quicksilver may have found your issue as your BIOS files should be in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/ and your setup appears to want them in your roms folder. You could try copying them there if they are not already and see if it works. My Intellivision retroarch.cfg just points to the global one in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg I dont have any custom values in it other than the input remapping (maybe you have something else?) in the global file you should have system_directory = "~/RetroPie/BIOS"

FAT32? That is only the Partition with the Bootloader, the regular OS Partitions are Ext4.
Maybe this here Berryterminal: Adding your own custom operating systems to the menu could be useful.

This can be closed. FYI found the answer here:

https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/tree/master/src/burner/libretro#game-xxx-runs-slowly-why-

"Your hardware is probably too slow to run the game with normal settings. Try the following :

Check if there is a speedhack dipswitch in the core options, set it to "yes". Try setting a value for frameskip in core options. Try disabling rewind, runahead, and anything related to the savestates system in retroarch. Try lowering audio settings in the core options. If it is not enough, upgrade or overclock your hardware.

"

The issue here is there's another rewind option in the quick menu, separate from the rewind option under the settings menu. Why exactly? I have it disabled for arcade games, but its enabled in the quick menu, over writing my option for the settings menu.

Goddam. Glad I got to the bottom of it.

However, I can't get the controls to work

I'm not at my RPi right now so I'm going off memory.

First, look in /opt/retropie/configs/supergrafx/emulators.cfg and make sure it's got the line:

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/supergrafx/"

Then copy/overwright the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/pcengine/ to /opt/retropie/configs/supergrafx/

This should copy over the same controls you are currently using for the PC Engine/TG16.

The auto-USB copy function has historically only copied NEW files from USB to Pi. It would go through the files on the USB stick and copy over anything that wasn't already on the Pi. You don't lose anything on the pi.

@mitu @BuZz @Efriim I finally got it working! :D

local bin_file local bin_files local default local id local index local version ... some other code ... for index in "${!bin_files[@]}"; do default=0 [[ "$index" -eq "${#bin_files[@]}-1" ]] && default=1 # Default to the last item in 'bin_files'. version="${bin_files[$index]}" version="$(echo $version | cut -d'_' -f 2)" addEmulator "$default" "$md_id-$version-$id" "godot-engine" "$md_inst/${bin_files[$index]} --main-pack %ROM%" done

So it seems like the error had something to do with the index variable (previously it was named i). Either it needed to be initialized as a local variable or the script didn't like that it was called i... I really don't know. But I got it working :)

Another thing that I found and maybe it's worth mentioning (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that when I run:

sudo ./retropie_packages.sh godot-engine configure

the config file:

/opt/retropie/configs/godot-engine/emulators.cfg

seems to just add the new stuff on top of the previous configs that were already there. I mean, it doesn't delete the file and creates it again with the new configs.

Shouldn't "deleting the old file and creating a new one" be the "correct" thing to do?

Thanks! :)

@Clyde I'll try to figure that out (I'm new to retropie). thanks.

@grant2258 Hello
I chekc on the system and i'm unable to find a mame2003.log
Do you know where it should be.
Also I check the runcommand.log, and tehre is only two lines who said that I launch centipede.
In the mame menu, I cna assign a button to a mouse click. But it cannot register my mouse moving.

not all arcades use a separate joystick for player 2 they are turn based. What emulator are you using and what game? Need to debug ifs a joystick issue or not.

Just bumping my post. Still not sure what to do about the hotkey situation.
