@djlf This is how you fix it. In the command line run cd RetroPie-Setup then
git reset --hard
This will remove the change that was made preventing it from updating. What else it will do to your system I cannot predict or know.
Then, if you are determined to update just update normally.

DISCLAIMER: ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SYSTEM WHEN RESETTIING GIT OR UPDATING IS TOTALLY ON YOU

Thank you so much, that solved it :)

Ooh! That's fantastic. Thanks.

@bme said in Hori Pokken mame configuration:

While I'm able to use the controllers with other emulators and with mame-libreto, only a fraction of the games I tried actually launch when using mame-libretro.

That's because arcade games need the correct ROMset for the emulator used - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/.
I know this is not a solution to your problem, but mame4all is an old codebase and it's only kept for its better performance on Pi1/0 systems. You will get better support using a Libretro emulator like lr-fbalpha/lr-mame2003/lr-mame2010 or ,if you prefer a non-Libretro emulator, advmame.

@jpoul said in How can I hide subfolders in EmulationStation?:

Shouldn't the feature "Parse Gamelists only" show exactly what is on the gamelists.xml file - as in the list of game, no matter where they are and disregard everything else?

No, that's not how it works. It just means that it will not scan for new ROMs in the configured path to add them to the game list.

If I do change the rom path, shouldn't I have to put the gamelist.xml in that path as well?

Yes, either that or put it in the default place (/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/nes).

Yeah, lr-vice virtual keyboard is flawed, it seems an hit or miss, game sensitive. On older version there was no way to activate cursor, so better than nothing.
It is better to use usb keyboard for sure.

@mitu Thank you!

I have not done any of this in a while and I noobed out on the basics. Much appreciated.

A Sega CD game? That would probably instantly explain why it isn't working. I knew I found it in a pile of other TG-16 roms so that's why I stuck it there but if it belongs in the Sega CD pile then I'll give that a whirl.

I'll keep picking at this one rom and emulator at a time.

I did what you said and now it works just fine! Thanks!

when I start the emulator on my raspberry the system immediately asks me to insert a disk, I have no chance to see the prompt, what should I do?

i solved. I forgot to remove the # before network_cmd_enable = "true" :)

Well, all is well. It worked and worked perfectly. The saved games were there and ready to go. They loaded and played without issue, though it's a bit different playing them on the Zero than it is on the 3 B+, of course. Lower resolution and the startup takes a bit longer.

Right now I'm updating Emulation Station so that I can get the scraper working properly, which went fairly quickly with the Pi 3 B+, but is taking forever with the Zero. It's chugging along, though.

Thanks for you help, everyone. I truly do appreciate it. :)

@urbanpoor

I took a quick look and it seems that, while possible, 'Stepmania' on RetroPie would require a lot of work for a somewhat flawed result. You would need to compile it for the Pi, run it in the desktop environment to get experimental OpenGl support and then create a launch script to execute from Emulation Station. After that, integrating and mapping a dance mat would also be required. When it's all said and done, it looks like those who got it working previously saw poor performance. You can read up on it more yourself by just searching for "Stepmania Raspberry" in Google.

@tommyellas Please read the forum's rules - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules, there's no ROM/bios/games sharing.

@dandy_j Can you run sudo rfkill unblock all (from the terminal, after exiting Emulationstation) and see if you can detect the wifi networks afterwards.
Is your WiFi configured for 2.4 Ghz b/g or it's just 5Ghz ? The PI only has 2.4 Ghz capabilities.

the Emulation Station scraper should called craper even in 4.4 version hung all the time useless crap

If I am reading correctly all you need is to get emulators designed for x86 processors, mednafen for ps1 maybe? Install it same as you would mame. RetroPie’s default emulators aren’t designed for pc

OK, so reflashing the install seems to have worked. I'm not sure if the original 64gb microsd was too large, or if something else I did messed things up, but this time around I wasn't asked a second time to initialize my controller settings, and I was able to get a few minutes of Super Mario World running with the controller functioning properly.

But, thanks for the help, no wonder nobody else was having these problems.
