Sorry meant to say player 2 buttons key 2 and key 6 are NOT working even though updated and saved in the retroarch.cfg file. Maybe that is why, retropie only wants me to use player one side values even though you would think the whole keyboard could be used

I understand. I have not been able to find a solution in the manual, but thank you for the response.

I too am having an issue with the trackball and retropie. Anyone figure this out?

@jbaudrand But are you sure the remastered edition is compatible with ResidualVM ? Some comments on the forum seem to imply there's no support for it

EDIT: Never mind! I got it now, just didn't saw the solution you posted, because I was confused. Thank you! Just use the already existing configs folder through Samba and add the themes folder manually in emulationstation. It works, thousands times thank you.

@dudleydes I just don't know how to do this. How can I create the connection to this folder through Samba? Searching this gets me confusing, I just can't get around it. In Nautilus, I use the smb://retropie/ path to get a selection of 5 folders to access from: bios, configs, print$, roms and splashscreens. I don't know if I added one of them manually and if I did, I don't remember how. I wish there would be a sixth folder to access, the theme folder. Can I add it there?

@papinist DL21 only works for DL, but on http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/ you can find enhanced versions of DL2 and SA as well. Look under "ROM Updates".

I think a separate thread would be better for your Daphne issues.

@steptoe Started out with my old work laptop that had a Linux on it, installed Retropie just to tinker around and ended up with an arcade machine build around it :-) Since I had most components laying around, the cost was around 100 euro...well worth the price!

Where and how do I enabling that, and what does that do?

The Run-ahead feature gives you the option of removing inherent frames of latency that are built in to every game past the Atari 2600. Each game can have different amount, but as mentioned above, there will always be at least one frame. Removing more frames than what is required can lead to visual and game play anomalies, such as a 'Game Over' screen appearing for as little as one frame when you haven't died. Even when anomalies aren't noticed, the timing of the game's progression is being changed to be more forgiving, making it similar to cheating with a Game Genie code. If you're looking to enable it just for the NES, you can add the following lines to /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg above the #include line.

run_ahead_enabled = "true" run_ahead_frames = "1" run_ahead_secondary_instance = "true"

Thank you for the information! I'll try this when I get back from work, and only use run_ahead_frames = "1" instead of 2 ^^

@mitu It worked! Sorry for my late response!

Funnily enough I just started setting up a brand new system and had this same problem again (ironically this topic was the first thing that came up when I googled!). So for anyone that may ever need it, I did in fact write a script designed to clean up roms that don't have images :)

You can find it here on my GitHub https://github.com/andywarburton/RetroPie-Tools

Enjoy!

Great, thanks for testing this !

Can you try increasing the system's sound volume from a SSH or command line using alsamixer ? I know it sounds stupid, but maybe the default volume is too low for you to hear it.
Otherwise, you can enable verbose logging when starting a ROM with the Runcommand launch menu (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#runcommand-launch-menu), play a bit, then exit and get the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file. Paste the contents of the file to pastebin.com so we can take a look at it.

@herb_fargus I see. I was going to modify the Wiki script to send a browser User-Agent with the wget download command, but in this case I better not.

@pyterj Unfortunately it seems the download site doesn't allow direct download of the games, so you'll have to find a way to install them yourself. Sorry about that - as @herb_fargus said, there is a reason this script is not included in RetroPie proper and we can't get around that.

@akafox @Lyle_JP @mitu lr-fbalpha will search the roms folder, then the BIOS/fba folder (where samples & hiscore.dat are supposed to be), then the BIOS folder. It works that way for any bios or parent rom (which means you can also store the non working parent roms needed to run some clone in the BIOS/fba folder).
