You'd probably be better off researching if you need 128GB at all to start with. The fact that some emulators are listed as working does not mean the games are actually 100% playable, so you need to think if you're okay with stunted performance. The demanding systems are probably better dealt with on a single-game basis, checking compatibility wikis and all that.

@thedatacereal The file in the /boot folder is only read on system boot, and it's copied in the proper folder in /etc. Any modifications you do in the configuration file for wpa_supplicant are not applied in real-time, but you can restart the networking service (which in turn will call wpa_supplicant) and they'll be picked up.

@nooryani84 Thank you, although I didn't find your explanation quite as detailed as I needed to create a fix for my game, after reading your post and viewing the retropie m3u structure, I went out on a limb and created my own .m3u file of FF8 using ES File Explorer on my Android phone. Once that was done, I uploaded the .m3u file to my Rpi with a SFTP program, restarted emulationstation, loaded Disk 1 end game save, crossed my fingers, ejected the disk, now Track 2 was working...I selected it, closed the virtual disk tray.......Now I'm able to progress into the second disk without compressing anything! Just renamed some cue files and created a tiny text file (m3u) that made it happen.

@pjft Would it be possible to write a batch script or something that could be run once to simply and easily categorize large quantities of roms without duplication?

My idea is something that works like this. It 'feels' like it would be easy for someone who does these sorts of things, but I know nothing so I could be very wrong.

in '/roms/nes' you make the directory 'Top 50' (or subcategorize by genre, etc.)
You move your top 50 roms from '/roms/nes' to /roms/nes/Top 50'
You put the 'categorize_roms.bat' into '/roms/nes/Top 50' and run it

The .bat file would then take all the roms in the folder, move them back up to '/roms/nes' and replace them with symlinks to each rom in the subfolder.

Obviously replace .bat with whatever kind of script you prefer - I'm working with limited knowledge here.

Is this doable?

@tr33x0rs Glad you're sorted.

My suggestion was really to lower the entire volume in ES's sound settings - I was hoping that, on Windows, it wouldn't change the entire OS volume settings.

Have a great weekend.

@jdog35421 said in Controls mess up after I open a game.:

When I restart my pi by turning it off

are you pulling the power cord? if so, you could be corrupting your card!

@mitu I never tried typing \retropie\ in like that before but it worked. Not sure why it's still not showing up though. Thanks!

Thanks! That solved the issue!

Performance-wise, if your Waveshare 3.2" is able to reach 73.7 Mhz or higher, you will get a solid 60fps on the display. In such case, you can try enabling NO_INTERLACING in config.h. SPI bus speeds 66Mhz and higher will also in practice run at 60fps. 40Mhz-60MHz generally resort to interlacing every now and then, and < 40 MHz will typically run fully interlaced (e.g. ILI9486 based displays)

This video

is running a Raspberry Pi CM3 with a Waveshare 3.2" with SPI bus at 66MHz.

@lostless Changes are apart of life haha. Most have been a problem i was totally oblivious of. Glad you like the update, i'll just have adapt. Thanks for even understanding what i was trying to explain and taking the time to reply Lostless. I expected zero replies to my question honestly. Have a great weekend!

@douga Thank you!

@kessler94 Press Start+X to open the RetroArch menu, navigate to Settings -> Video -> Aspect Ratio, and change it to something you like. When you're done, remember to go to Configurations and save your changes.

@dankcushions
Thanks. Emulation is always funny. I will mess with the nes emulator settings from that guide. I love this project though, such a good use of raspberry pi.

It works.
Thanks

Not sure if this helps. I had problem where the 2:nd player use the P1 controls.
. Needed to add:
usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
To the /boot/cmdline.txt to get the player 2 control to be detected. Not sure if this is related at all.

Will do the same If I found a fix!

The build fails because of a missing header file

./libretro-common/include/glsym/rglgen_headers.h:27:10: fatal error: EGL/egl.h: No such file or directory

Normally this should be part of the package libegl1-mesa-dev - you can manually install it before attempting the installation with:

sudo apt-get -y install libegl1-mesa-dev

The gist of the Getting Started guide for Arcade is that users need to 1) pick your arcade emulator and then 2) you find the exact romsets designed for that emulator version

Your emulator is mame2003 and it will only work with a MAME 0.78 collection. If you have a MAME 0.78 romset collection you will not get CRC errors and the games will, generally, play.

The MAME 0.78 romset collection is very easy to find on the internet. No Dark Web required, just a search engine :)
