@s1naloa10 that answer is incorrect. It is very unlikely you need bios files for your Mame roms rather you need the correct romset. This is all very clearly detailed in the documentation.

I suggest you give the docs a read and you'll find your questions will be answered.

Any luck? Also, (I'm new to RetroPie) what are the steps you took to get the cocktail shader? I've been looking around, but have yet to figure out how to find it, let alone get it running. Help?

@edmaul69 Tried it (I updated retroarch and all the other cores), and now it magically works! Thanks a bunch, edmaul :)

@paulo Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

FWIW, I was able to get my Matricom XYBA gamepads working, but only after switching to a fresh RetroPie install. I tried every suggestion I could find, and gave up after a couple hours of effort. I got to the point where the controllers worked in Emulation Station, but not with any of the ROMs. In my case, I believe the issue was that I had previously enabled the PS3 drivers, and that somehow affected the configuration such that the ROMs wouldn't recognize the Matricom gamepads.

@Garisaan i have done something sort of like this here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4046/crt-pi-shader-users-reduce-scaling-artifacts-with-these-configs-in-lr-mame2003-lr-fbalpha-lr-nestopia-and-more-to-come

if you use the last two links in that post, it will give you crt-pi-curvature-vertical shader in vertical mame games, and the regular curvature shader in the rest.

The branch and repository you're looking for:

https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/tree/RetroPie-Virtual-Systems-PR

Let us know how it goes!

Actually, its still not working?!

I'm getting Input/output errors when its running mkdir?

Very odd.

Try upgrading the software to the latest version.

It's an old topic of mine but I fixed it and thought it might be a good idea to explain how to fix it and why it happened in the first place.

My company PC is running Windows 8.1 with Mobile Intel 4 Graphics card. If you use the graphics driver that Windows 8.1 automatically installs you will get that corrupted font view. Technically I don't know why it happens but it looks like that the graphics driver chosen by Windows 8.1 does not have the necessary functions to run ES or other applications like Minecraft or Angry Birds.
So what you need to do is down-grade your driver to an older Windows 7 version which is very well explained here.

Once you have applied the older driver all runs fine.

Hope that helps.

@meleu That's okay! I've had a few issues specific to the DS4. I guess I'll just roll back to my last SD save.

Defintely appears to be related to limited memory.

I found this https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=142243&p=940551#

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1GB bs=1M count=1024
sudo mkswap /swapfile1GB
sudo swapon /swapfile1GB

I tried all other recommendations noted here before doing this, but worked like a charm. I was getting stuck at 82% "SystemScreenSaver.cpp.oc++: internal compiler error".

@gametravaler try removing the USB stick and reboot and see if it works. I had a issue recently where a folder went corrupt on the stick and was causing the issue. Retropie told me in the command line what directory was giving me issues, removed it and all is well.

I can't no longer run roms off the usb storage either since doing a clean install of retropie 4.2. Nothing works. Even using this guys hack [link text]

(link url) and following these instructions [link text] (link url) no longer work.

Emulation station was updated which broke a lot of things even my controllers were messed up I was able to fix them but the last two days made me want to trash my PI and just stay with playing games on my PC.

The only workaround was I had to get a bigger SD card and run the roms off of there, nothing else worked.
