I am guessing this is similar to the problem I have an trying to figure out. The controller works in EmuStation but any game that uses Retro Arch it doesn't. I have an Xbox usb controller and the solution is to unplug an replug. The Commodore 64 emulator for example doesn't have the issue.

@mitu I made some comments here - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/336f1398c7040f39ae057338978a739ffe8a5a60 - but I don't think I want to worry too much about the old LTS now 18.04 is out.

@clyde Thanks alot for the help, I'll read up on it :)

@cder Well after playing around with it (and with your advice) I finally got Advance Mame working how it should. I haven't got a clue on how I managed it but i'm just happy that it is.

Thanks again for you advice and help.

@dankcushions Thanks, many handy things on that page!

@hansolo77 said in Stretch and RetroPie:

Is there anything I need to do differently when building a new system with the Raspberry Pi 3B+ other than using the Stretch OS?

you don't have to even "do" that - current retropie images use raspbian stretch.

@mitu I see. I'm able to install Vice using Ubuntu app center. I wonder if I could copy binaries and libs to the /opt/retropie/emulators/vice ...

@ben63 Try setting Device type to just Retropad.
Your current setting only applies to certain games that support analog control. (for example some ps1 games)
I've noticed some issues with my controller when I had the same setting, so I only set Device type to Retropad /w analog for the PS1 and N64 games that support analog control.
If you set device type to Retropad and Analog to digital to Left analog, you can control the game with both dpad and the thumbstick.
Also don't forget to save your settings (either to the game or the core).

@mitu
Yes. It was just like that. I enabled it in the configuration to test its effect on the boot and got the system shutdown as a result. Therefore, I suggested above the method of recovery in this situation.

Thank you.

I've encountered this problem myself.
All you have to do is remove the dependencies for vlc

You should try:

cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/kodi/

And then:

sudo chmod +x ./kodi.sh

I got it working and can continue my build project !!

It worked when I put all the white wires on top on the COM side, and the blue ones on the NO side of the switch.

When I my project is finished I'll show ya'll what i've made on the project builds pages of this forum

Thanks again for being such a great help!

I believe super mario world does and I tested other games and super mario bros 3 on nes and 2 frames was causing issues with things happening before they should have like deaths. So 1 frame seems to be the sweet spot for 90% of games on nes and snes. Also without using runahead i believe dispmanx with threading turned off seems to be the next best thing for reduced input lag.

@mediamogul That's what I thought too, but then he asked about it occurring only during running nes games made me think. Why only during nes games and not any other emulator ? Unless he is mimicking an nes classic. The OP didn't give much details.

@dankcushions

Ok thanks

Hi.
It is very strange your problems with the language .

Do you selected output jack audio in RetroPie menu section audio?
If the answer is yes, this type of output is very low sound.
Maybe the best solution is acquire an ampli. This cost is about 5€.

Native Spain:
Has seleccionado jack para la salida de audio desde menú retropie, sección audio?
Si la respuesta es si, tienes que conocer que la salida de sonido que saca es baja, intenta subirlo desde el menú de RetroPie (start) y desde los ajustes de retroarch.
Tal vez la mejor solución es comprar un amplificador. Este cuesta sobre 5€

This is not implemented, you either update all installed or individually.

@steptoe Precisely!

I have been setting up my Pi2 for almost a year now and it's been quite a bumpy but rewarding ride. Bumpy because I'm not remotely tech-savy and know diddly-squat about Linux, but rewarding for the experience in itself: building the romsets, configuring emulators, choosing ES themes and now scraping roms... seeing it all come together as something that I could only dream of as a teenager is truly heartwarming.

Very soon it will be finally ready to simply plug and play! :)
