@ikarampa Is is a post that's 13 months old, opened for PPSSPP on a Raspberry Pi. You might have better results posting on the LibreElec forums to ask for advice.

Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your post. What RetroPie version, image used, hard-disk, etc. ?

@BJRetro I think I did the lr. But when I went to update, I could not find the binary option. Only from source. I'm also not sure what the difference is :s
Thanks for the tip, this might be it. Will look up how to do it.

Thanx!

So glad i hit upon this thread.
I had a similiar use case as that of OP's. Didn't find Rp3 performant enough, so i have odroid c2 running librelec. But now i want to run retroarch with kodi on another microSd on C2. I did similiar permuations with the images but just like as OP's they all failed.
If anyone got it working on c2, it would be greatly appreciated if they can contribute in updating the wiki or let know even if they were able to do so, so that investing time might be worthwhile. The "retropie-4-x-on-odroid-c2" link is helpfull but can't fully grasp if some steps are obsolete or still required.

@Phil333 did you pursue this further or dropped it for now?

thanks for this thread tough!

@cacotigon
Top time is something like that, Kirby Samurai is a minigame, randomly the screen flashes: !!! and you press a button as fast as you can to respond. So long as you aren't cheating, and you give yourself enough chances, and you're not impaired, if you can't beat your top score; then you have a good personal idea of the input lag.
So you get (input lag)+(legitimate human factor)=(top time)
My best time on a real nintendo was 8,11 average, 13-8,11 = "5,2" the input lag and time measurements, might be per frame, I dont know, 5,2x .06 = 300,120ms { + runahead 1 frame } = 360,180ms. You can divide that result by two because we are experiencing an input and an output lag: ~90ms does that sound about right?

Run-Ahead didn't work as well in kirby-superstar, more framedrops, I forgot what I did to get it up to speed, maybe it was a The second run-ahead, but it kind of seemed contradictory, so I thought it was a fluke but I did get a higher score.

Run-ahead on SMW I thought it felt a lot better when I got it up to speed, v-sync needed to be on or else scrolling looked terrible in one trial. I overclocked and I adjusted the audio latency, and used different cores but I wasn't compiling my test results so I don't know.

I'm back at it again though, now that I've stabilized my overclock. I may just browse the web forums and raspberry pi stuff for a while.

EDIT: Oh yeah! you can read my edit history on my previous posts, I tried to compile as much of it as I could but it is pretty much just as disorganized and I was embarrassed as I can just go on and on as I don't know what I'm doing.
EDIT2: Actually I can't figure out how to read edit history.

@herb_fargus said in My cat just puke(hairball) on my raspberry pi 3b+ and it died...:

Stick it in a bag of rice. Good as new!

Not sure the cat will like that!

@basis When a game is started, it executes the runcommand-onstart script, you can use it to get the media path and copy it wherever you need. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#runcommand-onstart-and-runcommand-onend-scripts.

@markwkidd thanks.

Actually, it might be something that we can solve on our end on autoconfig.

Adding the following to the mapping on /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads solved it:

input_b_btn_label = "Cross (down)" input_y_btn_label = "Square (left)" input_select_btn_label = "Select" input_start_btn_label = "Start" input_up_btn_label = "D-Pad Up" input_down_btn_label = "D-Pad Down" input_left_btn_label = "D-Pad Left" input_right_btn_label = "D-Pad Right" input_a_btn_label = "Circle (right)" input_x_btn_label = "Triangle (up)" input_l_btn_label = "L1" input_r_btn_label = "R1" input_l2_btn_label = "L2" input_r2_btn_label = "R2" input_l3_btn_label = "L3" input_r3_btn_label = "R3" input_l_x_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Right" input_l_x_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Left" input_l_y_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Down" input_l_y_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Up" input_r_x_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Right" input_r_x_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Left" input_r_y_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Down" input_r_y_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Up" input_menu_toggle_btn_label = "Home"

There's a repository with lots of these mappings here, following @mitu 's thread (thank you!):

https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev

So it's probably something that's RetroPie-specific for now.

Thanks both.

@tikimojo You could try using this video:

Assuming of course your xbox controller is model 1708

@mitu Wow 30 hours... brutal!
Thx for all the info, that's all that i needed, i considered thread solved.

@mitu

thanks for the help i will give that a try

@BillyH said in RetroPie UI setting not saving:

So, where exactly would lie the flaw if my settings like game list preferences and viewing modes aren't saved?

You haven't answered to any of my previous questions, which would help diagnose why this would happen.

Might be because English is not my native language but there's nothing in your other post that I interpreted as being a question.

If you were asking me to check if I had actually run out of space, no, that is not the case.

Try PowerArchiver

https://filehippo.com/download_powerarchiver/

Its shareware, but free trial. Might be enough to do what you want

I used it years ago and it did exactly what I needed to convert archives. Just installed this version and it will easily convert ZIP to LHA and also as a batch queue

@sirhenrythe5th out of curiosity, how are you connecting your pi to the crt, and any considerations or experiences regarding games with different resolutions, etc. Does it all work out as in the old days, everything full screen, etc? Does pal and ntsc have an impact? I remember that ntsc games in my pal system would flicker.

Happy to move to a separate thread if more appropriate, apologies. Just curious.

ah.. saw the news on the main page here, thanks Buzz.
Mitu - I tried what you suggested, and it worked, only now it's also asking for VLC, and the latest image won't install properly using the manual method.

BUT, forcing the rapidjson-dev to install, and then going to re-install the emulator (not the dev) hung up on VLC, so I finally figured out which VLC to install, and everything worked. Thanks for the tips.

I started to think maybe I'd accidentally changed some obscure Retroarch setting without realizing what effect it was going to have.

So I decided to go back to square one. I reinstalled my disk image and started over. This time when I went in and edited /op/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/retroarch.cfg it had the desired effect.

The only weird thing I ran into was that key b was set to "reset input" in retroarch when you used the hotkey. With hotkeys disabled that meant I couldn't press my b button. I could remap that input in the games, but I decided to just set "reset input" to nul.

I'm not sure what reset input does, but if I need it I can assign it another key.

@mitu Yes. I accidentally disabled it. Re-enabling it fixed it all.
Thank you so much :)

@Shinobi we don't support third party images. Please read the sticky topics as agreed when registering. (This may not technically be an Image but we can't advise on 3rd party add-ons and I know is there are motion blue images also).
