@mitu said in only shows picture when HDMI is connected at startup?:

It's normal - for some TVs - https://kodi.wiki/view/Raspberry_Pi_FAQ#TV_is_not_detected_unless_powered_on_first.

Thanks for the link @mitu! This happened to me too once. I had to unplug the pi as got no display on my TV (luckily my SD card survived the ordeal!). Great to know there is a solution (other than just remembering to turn on my TV first).

@mitu I thought it maybe a fake SD card as well with a lower amount of storage than I thought. But I've been installing a lot of more PlayStation 1 games and those are all working fine.

@mitu I shouldn't have to do it that way. The point is game override should work, shouldn't it? Also, I just used Terminal grep command and searched every cfg file that contained "video_black_frame_insertion" alt text
You can see it made a game override for metal slug but I don't see the one made for Rampage. The only emulator I'm using for Metal Slug is FB Alpha. Every other game is using Mame2003 as the default.

Hi,

all good now, just needed to run the scraper tool, once completed the console and the games were displayed.

Thank you mitu. That has worked quite well.

Re-ordering the controllers can be done through @meleu's Joystick selection tool, give it a try.

@mitu its reinstalling now thanks so much for your help i love the rasperry pi and am having a blast learning this

@mitu ok now i'm having the same problem again probably my fix didn't fix it as i thought

What fixed it was going in quick menu > controls >
And making device type go retropad and analog to digital to none
And then going to option and changing pad 1 from default to analog

But now that doesnt work any more
The fix now is puting user device type to retropad w/ analog
And analog to digital to left analog
And change pad 1 type to default

But that doesnt even fix it

Every time i launch this game the controller will work in the menu but when the game start i cant move or do anything unless i go into retroarch quick menu and changing retropad w/ analog to retropad and analog to digital to none

And then change it back to retropad w/ analog and analog to digita to left analog

I can't figure this out

@DrSubsonic said in Updated Packages and now system shuts down before launching retropie:

@mitu the seller sold me the arcade system.. just came with retropie installed thats all.

If RetroPie came with the system, it was sold with the system.

@DrSubsonic said in Updated Packages and now system shuts down before launching retropie:

ran sudo raspi-config and it did not ask for a username or password...

That is normal in RetroPie. It's less secure than in most other Linux systems, but I guess it's just a compromise for convenience.

guess i need to do a full flash of a fresh install

That may be the best course of action if you neither can fix it by yourself nor get support from the seller.

Problem is I don't think that works with my overlay as I've set a custom viewport size and location so that would also have to be flipped

In order for the gamepad to be detected and configured by Emulationstation - and the other emulators - it must be detected as a gamepad by the OS. If the OS (Raspbian) doesn't see it as a gamepad, it means it's not compatible with Linux, so there's nothing to configure. I advise you to try another controller - if you bought this one specifically for RetroPie, then you should return it and get a better supported controller.

Sorry to be so awfully slow, but I have had my arcade put aside for quite some time, but @meleu I now reformatted my ROMS USB to NTFS format and now your script works!

Well done and thanks!

Merry christmas to you all!

@baileys13now Then please edit your opening post and put a [Solved] before the title of the topic (so that the title reads "[Solved] Need help With usb roms") to mark it as … well, solved. It saves potential helpers time by showing them that here's nothing to help anymore.

@mitu ah, thank you! I had did searching myself but hadn't seen that thread. I'll check it out!

What music do you mean?

I'm glad that my request helped you fix the gun before the holidays. :)

I just realised how strange that may sound out of context. :D

@melbmatt50 https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/364/every-time-i-play-dreamcast-displays-the-setting-screen-time-date

There is a step by step in that thread to fix the date and time issue. It worked for me. I'm not sure if it still works with the latest version of retro pie however so use at your own risk. I'd recommend backing up your image first.

Regarding your question about the coin door. could be a bad microswitch. do you have access to a multimeter? you could check the resistance from open to close. Any pics on how you have the coin door wired? Are you sure that you wired correctly to the button. Needs to be wired to the open close. On your buttons it should be the posts that are offset from one another and are on risers
