@refazeshot1 check out this: https://www.libretro.com/index.php/changing-behavior-of-gl-and-glcore-video-drivers/

“gl” is an OpenGL 2.0+ driver, when used with a version above 3.0 it’s called OpenGL Compatibility and can support up to OpenGL 4.6, but some GPU drivers don’t have that OpenGL Compatibility mode.

it supports GLES from 1.0 to 3.x. pi4 is gles 3.1 in current retropie.

“glcore” is an OpenGL 3.1+ driver, it’s also called OpenGL Core, it supports up to OpenGL 4.6.

i think the mesa driver in current retropie supports open gl 2.1 on the pi4. so glcore is pointless/may cause issues.

@krinasam I'm not familiar with drastic, maybe other forum user has an idea.

@mitu
Sorry I did not read it properly.

That's great.

Many thanks again for your help.

@x_wav This means the button is not registering, so it can't be used.

Seems your issue is similar to this one, solved with an updated ROM file. I suggest you re-download the game from https://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/Handheld Electronic Game/ and retry.

@sleve_mcdichael said in PAL Atari ROM is Black and White in stella2014-libretro:

Edit: weird, because Wikipedia does say it was only released in Europe and lists release dates (both just say "1990") for EU and UK releases.

Yep.. that's why I didn't look for a USA version of the ROM.. I didn't think one existed..

Regardless.. thank you.

@dankcushions great i'll try thanks

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you. It makes so much sense. I tried purging the esgamelist cache and then re-generated the artwork with Skyscraper. Worked like a charm. I took some inspiration from your settings and applied them myself too.

Finally, a big thank you for taking the time to explain the differences between marquee and wheel. I went close to bananas trying to understand the definitions.

The RetroPie usbmount scripts don't transfer ROMS if you setup the USB for ROM transfer.
Please add more details about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, and what is the name of the folder you created on the USB stick

@mitu said in Creating a custom SDL2 gamepad mapping?:

Try maybe adding the export command to $HOME/.bashrc.

That also worked from terminal but not from ES.

So what I think is happening is this: autostart.sh is called from /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh which runs as part of /etc/profile. Then once that's complete it calls .profile and .bashrc.

But since the environment var is set in autostart it is perhaps disconnected from the profile service and so maybe the variable is local only to that shell. So it works from inside ES but when I exit ES and the autostart shell terminates, the var goes away and it doesn't work from terminal.

When I set it in .profile or in .bashrc it works from terminal, but these aren't processed until after ES exits because that's part of autostart which happens while /etc/profile is still going on.

@barbudreadmon surely 👍. check your PR though, build issues.

@mitu

Hello,

I had the same problem when making the backup, it would be interesting to add these notes in:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#making-a-backup
Change "Make sure you have the correct drive letter for your SD card!" to "Make sure you have the correct drive letter for your SD card! (Choose the partition which is readable by Windows, 'boot' as the source of the backup)" or something similar.

Thank you.

@flagrant99 I have since learned some things.
glsl Shader format available to OpenGL.
glslp for GLSL stack these shaders to create a combined effect.

Only a glsl will get reloaded not the glslp with video_shader_watch_files ON.

@glovewithsauce i'm sorry, but asking for/providing links to to BIOS files is against the forum rules
