@solisae Emulationstation does not initiate any connection, it's the OS (Linux) underneath that handles the connection. Try removing the bluetooth device (the controller) from the configuration screen and then re-pair and connect it again. Leave everything else on default and finish the configuration, then see if the behavior remains.

@jasonh1314 The ascii art welcome is produced by running retropie_welcome, a shell function added by the install script to your shell start-up file.
If you open the $HOME/.bashrc file, the last lines should be

retropie_welcome # RETROPIE PROFILE END

If you accidentally overwritten your .bashrc, then the welcome ascii art function is not run when your login session starts.

Copied my tron.ini file to location /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/metadata.........it didn't work.

@mitu Rebuilding from source fixed the issue. I have a feeling that when RetroPie 4.5 comes out I'm going to have to do a fresh install, my days of doing the updates and ignoring the "this isn't compatible with Jessie" warnings are numbered. Thanks again all.

@mitu said in Sound card selectable from emulationstation:

Press Start and look at the menu - the version is at the bottom.

Ups, it was really simple: v2.8.2RP

@mitu said in Sound card selectable from emulationstation:

you can add your command line toggle at the beginning of the of the autostart.sh script

Thanks, I'll try to do it with this script while I'm still investigating if it's possible to get this from the Emulationstation UI

If the retropiemenu is missing, if it is only the pictures, reinstall it by following Retropie Setup >> Manage packages >> Core Packages >> Retropie-menu >> Install from source.

If the entire menu is missing, if you have a usb keyboard attached press "F4" and type sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.shpress "enter" and follow the outlining steps above.

lr-redream and lr-reicast are functioning neither(18.04). Reicast installed from snap gives error:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.

SOLVED! I forgot to copy the gameslist.xml into the folder! Haha silly me.

It now works fine. Thanks guys!

perfect, thanks for the tip!

@Tackskull nope, mint is OK, but for me, very most things on mint i dont use, i need a basic graphical linux.
My PC for retropie is a Dell 3020m Intel Core i5-4590T 2.0GHz, with 16gb of RAM and a 1Tb hdd.

That model:

How can I create retropiemenu to my usb drive ?

@mitu thanks!

@aatheronb RetroPie works also on a PC Linux installation - so as long as the system you're getting supports Ubuntu (let's say 18.04), then it should be able to run RetroPie. The image from the site is only needed for Pi systems, not for PC.

@mitu Nearly forget that there is a WIP PR ;) I think this can be a usefull addition to our installations now.

One could use /etc/fstab to mount a network drive replacing the use of autostart.sh~

and external hard drive

@mitu I will be trying the script thanks a lot
@mahoneyt944 Never thought about this thanks bro

u guys r awesome, once it works I will tell u guys thx

@mitu it should be called Rasputin.

@Shaddonai that is interesting. But I'll being using whatever board has the best performance over clocked And possibly repurposing the old one.

Well, the issue got fixed in the raspi-config repository, so the next raspi-config release should make the problem go away.

Okay...Thanks.
