How do I install emulationstation-dev?

RetroPie-Setup > manage packages > experimental packages > emulationstation-dev

TheGamesDB site is now back online, scraping should work again with this source in EmulationStation.

@JuanZt

Just stopped by to thank you. I've used your steps and was able to get my PS4 controller (not original) to work.

@windg I'm using both save states and game saves.

Reading up on the issue, this seems to be a well-known problem. If you attack a wanzer with the legs blown off, the game will freeze. Workaround is to enable the "skip battle animation" option, and spam the X button when you encounter this scenario. More here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/250588-front-mission-3/45417638

Haven't tested it yet; thought I would just leave this comment here for future googlers.

@SDKrt said in Sound gets slowly lost:

Is that enough?

Not really, I'm not sure which version you have installed or what emulator you're using (EmulationStation is only a front-end which launches the actual emulators for the game).

What game are you playing ? If you take out the amplifier and connect the audio directly to a headphone/speaker do you get the same problem.

@Drdave79 said in Mupen64plus-GlideN64 Control help:

It was just an observation that the non-next version, which apparently is no longer supported seems to work better.

No offence taken, and it's normal that is runs better, since the performance requirements are lower. This is why it's still available in RetroPie.

For who is interested, I have build Mesa 22.0.1, SDL 2.0.20 and EmulationStation from source code on latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite and all work as expected (Full KMS and other stuff)

@ZackPlonk said in Trouble re-connecting Nintendo Pro controller:

I'll set that up and report back on how it works out...

@eberhab 's script works like a charm and my pro-controllers are now happily reconnecting to the RetroPie system after they have been used with the Switch

Thanks for your help!

Help?

Seems to be this game ?
You may try starting the game with mame2003-plus (mame2003 might also work) and use the Mame mapping menu (hit Tab on an attached keyboard) for the game. The up/down movements of the gun are mapped to a couple of Paddle inputs, which you can assign to the 2nd joystick of the player.

@barbudreadmon Assuming you are referring to the Turbo setting under P1 control mappings (I'm not in front of it and don't recall the exact name), I have tried setting that to match the one in the turbo menu. No success there.

@DevanteWeary said in Scrapes in Windows but not Linux:

Thanks for the info on the forcefilename. So there's just no way to get it to save covers as the same filename as the game? That's crazy.

No, I didn't say that. Skyscraper needs 2 passes to actually generate a gamelist

first run to do the scraping from the scraping site and save it into the cache (this is where it saves the artwork as a 'random numbers/letters' file, the cache). The forcefilename flag has no effect here. 2nd run to generate the gamelist from the cache - this is where you can use forcefilename flag.

I suggest you take a look again at Skyscraper's docs and see how it should be used.

The gamepad configuration is fine, there must be something in the configuration for RetroArch that's not correct.
Can you run a game with verbose logging post the resulting log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) on pastebin.com ?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I should have no problem scraping the region artwork I'm after now.

@StoqnS14
Have you tried installing the Nintendo Switch controller drivers as mentioned in the Docs page?
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Switch-Controllers/

The sensitivity / input range without that driver is not enough to recreate the full tilt range of N64 sticks.

Note that enabling the BIOS boot logo may break some games, that's why is disabled by default by the pcsx_rearmed core.
