@mitu Yeah, when I was searching the pin seem to suggest it was a speed issue, not a mount issue, which is why I overlooked it. So I figured I would just post anyway.

@OJ1977 said in Error creating SDL window!:

here is the config.txt information:
...

This is not the config.txt present on the RetroPie Pi4 image.
As I said before, the config.txt on the RetroPie image already has the lines:

... [pi4] # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d max_framebuffers=2

Judging from the extra lines added at the end, I assume you're either using a RetroFlag/3rd party modified image or some additional scripts from RetroFlag have been run and have modified the config.txt.

@Griz952 said in [Solved] Activate Second Controller:

Performance is not great, ...

You can give lzdoom (standalone Doom port) a try, it has controller support, though you may need a keyboard to set it up. Haven't used it with a controller, but it may have better performance.

That was easier than I thought - just needed a keyboard and a push in the right direction.

I have found this thread by search.
Apparently i have a similar issue but on my case i have put my current username and password to the right section but when try to launch skyscraper it's not be usage the corrent 20.000 limit but it's ever use "only" 10.000 so the login it's not work.

It's someone have a similar issue ?

EDIT
Sorry for editing this reply.. previously i have quoted a old reply.
Now my reply it's general :)

@mitu Spot on - I had to manually update the controls too (select the controller type in PCSX2), but now working completely as before - thanks so much for your help :)

@VintageVolts said in Daphne install on ubuntu 18.04 x86_64:

The RetroPie Setup on an x64 environment is blocked through the Setup program. Both Daphne and Hypseus are listed in red to indicate that they are 32-bit and cannot be installed through Setup.

Hypseus is not 'blocked', there's no flag to indicate is 32bit only. Not sure where you got the scriptmodule - what version of RetroPie-Setup are you using ?

Hi @rainkid ,
Seems like we bought the same hardware...
As suggested above, I have blacklisted the hid_dr module. which prevented me from seeing the error messages in the dmesg output. But still no luck with my Linux machine. However, everything works fine with Raspberry Pi on Retropie (Rasbian).

So my future move will be to get in touch with the Raspbian or the Debian community to understand a bit more.

I found this can be done with the -nogui parameter using the nightly build of pcsx2. Not sure if this applies to the version Retropie uses. I had a hard time finding this solution when searching the web.

In pcsx2 I set a hotkey for Shut Down Virtual Machine. With the -nogui parameter pcsx2 will exit when you press the shutdown hotkey.

I think it's a temporary error (website or internet connection), it works fine on my (PC) install. Re-try the installation later on.

@mitu Thanks TONS! I did have the ROMs in mame-advmame but in a subdirectory. That didn't cause problems with lr-mame2016 so I didn't think it would be a problem for advmame. DOH! 😖

Now on to the next task, getting all of the buttons correctly mapped in advmame!

Do controllers draw more power than keyboards? I wonder if, in spite of upgrading the power, there is actually a power issue. I'm not sure why the power symbol isn't showing if that is the case though.

Could be, usually a keyboard/mouse need about 100 mA, while a gamepad may require more.

There was a topic a while ago (see here) that surveyed the power usage for various controllers. It has the command to query the power the controller reported as needed, you can run the command and see what's reported by the Xbox controller.

At one time, there was a max_usb_current option for the PI (in config.txt) which increased the power offered by the USB port (600 -> 1200 mA), but now it's on by default and so it's not needed anymore.

Is it possible something I copied over from the previous Pi isn't playing nice? I thought I only copied over saves/emulator specific settings, but in the absence of anything else I wonder if something is getting in the way.

Highly unlikely - flashing a new image showed it's not that.

@mitu Awesome suggestion! I installed the latest 32bit LMDE and the install process has run successfully! Way cool on a 2008 Netbook!

I think it's easier to set the savestate_directory RetroArch option so the .pure.zip saves are not created in the pc rom folder.

Modify the retroarch.cfg for the pc system (in /opt/retropie/configs/pc) and add a line at the beginning with:

savestate_directory = '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pcdata/saves'

and see if the .pure.zip save states are created in that folder.

@joelf said in What stops the update retropie script???:

How do I tell this thing to stop trying to update?!?

The setup script will automatically try to download missing packages if they're not present, so deleting packages.sh will not help. The 'update' you're experiencing is built-in the setup script.

If you know which version you had before the update, just rewind the RetroPie-Setup script at that version using git.

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git fetch --tags # print the release tags git tag # Checkout a specific version git checkout <tag>

@mitu Thank you! I will try these solutions. Hopefully that fixes it.

i found out what to do, with esc of keyboard i open the menu of emulator and there i can config

thanks
