Here is another fact, I started a new image from scratch and moved exactly the same amount of roms, the system is duplicated manually in a fresh install and it takes 2.84 seconds more to load ES on the new PI3B+ running Retropie 4.4 than the PI 3B running 3.9, its akward, but true. I have an intro video wich overlays the ES loading screen and now I have to make it that time longer because Retropie 4.4. with a PI3B+ takes more time loading.

@teve Some additions to @Lurker 's comprehensive post:

This video explains the majority of arcade joysticks on the market.

A extremely detailed website about joysticks and button layouts is slagcoin.com. Its creator approaches the topic with almost scientific commitment.

Another thing about the buttons you're considering: They have microswitches that make rather noisy clicks every time they're pressed and released. If you don't like that (I don't), you should look for leaf switches which are somewhat less durable but nearly inaudible. Alternatively, there are "silent" microswitches that are promoted as (nearly) noiseless, but they are more expensive and I don't have any experience with them.

The choice of speakers depends on your quality standards. I didn't like the sound of cheap speakers. Now I'm happy with wideband speakers for 30€ each. See my Asteroids-themed cabinet for a picture of them where you can see their brand and model.

@dankcushions Thanks so much!

I've never gotten it to run. I've tried multiple flash & boot bins as well as cdi & gdi conversions. Mine is USA though, I don't have access to a Japan/Euro version to test.

Great, thanks for the help will give it a go, I’ll post back how I’ve got on or if I need some help lol

Cheers again

Hi,

I just tried that, it has the same effect.

@wheeliebar overscan_scale=1

@10vorne

It's part of vice-x64, but Emulation Station doesn't factor into it. It's set from within the vice-x64 settings menu.

@mediamogul said in Full screen advmame:

I can only imagine how bad vertical games would look.

I think you would run out of stretch parameter, as the max value is 2.0. Running 1080p at that stretch factor, you would end up with 150px pillarbox borders on the sides.

So, it is important to note for @cyclair that if you are planning to fill the screen with vertical games too, you will only get to stretch those to 84% of the widescreen at display_expand 2.0.

@mitu You were correct, thanks. Updating Retropie (and RetroArch) worked. Lr-px68k works as it should.

I'm busy copying across various manually installed emulators and then I'll turn to the Final Burn Alpha romset.....

@clyde You are right. I don't have any pi overheating.

@dankcushions Sorry for the delay, I will post results tonight. But I will say that the only change that I have made to the stock image is enabled smoothing and set the aspect ration to 5:4. Neither of which affect the stutter.

I had the same problems with Strumwind and Volgar the Viking. I was able to get them both working by going into +start reicast and resetting the vmu's.

@10vorne I dont have any experience running it on a netbook. Sorry! Maybe someone else more knowledgeable in that area might be able to help.

@dankcushions thank you for both the link and the configuration creation!!

Hi!

I'm on retropie with LR-PCX-rearmed emulator and I can not play any games
