Given that now the splashscreen is using vlc instead of the (Pi specific) omxplayer video player, it could be possible to make it work with other boards, but right now it's not supported outside the Pi systems.

@mitu Wasn't sure if removing the override would break anything. Removed it today and its working fine. Thanks.

That's ok, since vlc tries a different number of display options and they're not available. Can you run

dpkg -l | grep vlc

and post the output ?

pi@retropie:~ $ dpkg -l | grep vlc

@sugarfree thanks! Good to know there is a way to do this from the terminal window. I ended up following the instructions from this video to reset the emulation station input configuration for the controllers.

@superdan
I suggest following the RetroPie wiki instructions on 4K resolution performance issues: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Pi4/?h=4k#4k-video-display

@Retrodade There isn't anything in the code I can think of that would cause that but I'll keep a note in case it crops up again. Glad it's sorted! :-)

I have seen similar graphical glitches with Driver 76. I get rid of them when I run the emulator with Vulkan enabled. Maybe this fixes the issue with this game. I am using Pi5 and bookworm 64.

Solved

When I downgraded VLC to have faster video previews, it created the problem. Just re-use the script proposed by RapidEdwin08

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RapidEdwin08/RetroPie-Setup/master/vlc-downgrade.sh -P ~/ chmod 755 ~/vlc-downgrade.sh ~/vlc-downgrade.sh

And select option 2 to re-install the original VLC version. Now you can re-install EmulationStation

@mitu interesting. Thank you for all your help. I will continue to look into this.

Did you try updating EmulationStation ? The current stable release is 2.11.2, while you're still on version 2.10.1 from almost 3 years ago.

@ExarKunIv said in Forum has blacked listed my ip:

i will keep my visits to a low.

That's not needed, just access the forums as usual. If you encounter a similar issue, just report it.

The game video snaps/previews worked fine with recalbox but not retropie

@marcoabm did you ever figure this out?

@el_pablo said in How to exit my own Godot ports?:

@mitu ok, so if I understand correctly even SNES games had their START + SELECT to exit? Or it's implemented into the emulator?

It's the emulator.

Hotkeys work only on the controller that's player 1 (P1), if your Bluetooth controllers is the 1st one detected - hence P1 - then the subsequent/other controllers will be P2/P3 and their hotkey enable button is disabled.

@ByteThis Fruitbox sounds cool m8! I’ll have a look into that. I’m running Hyperpie … it’s not the smoothest but an overclock helped with that a bit 👍 Found Fruitbox: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=188723

Without any indication about your setup (Pi model, RaspiOS/RetroPie version) and the actual error message(s) you get when trying to install, there's little we can do to help you. Also, phrasing.

@mitu
I ended up having to do a full re-install of Mint Mate 22 for other reasons. This is my third install in the past 2 weeks and I hope I do not need to do so again.

Let it be known that even after a fresh full-reinstall of Mint Mate 22, the same lack of joypad recognition continues. I have to access the setup through terminal via the sudo command in order to make it work. Otherwise, accessing the setup through the Retropie OS itself does not enable joypad function in Mint Mate 22. I did not have this issue with Mint Mate 20.
