When I try to configure retroarch (trying different aproaches to solve the issue) I see this error message in the bottom left side of the screen:

"Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade (5824/1505) not configured"

@Moco read the documentation as requested before posting questions to answers that are already available:

thanks for the link !

Thanks for the tips! I want to make the portable console, so I need an small display (to thickness too).
First time I bought the car backup TFT display, but its not delivered, so I refunded and bought this with though it will be better.

To Adafruit things, Im from Slovakia where as student I cant buy things like Adafruit PiTFT, this display from Ali is for me alot expansive, so the PiTFT is insta killer.

Thanks guys for tips, I will try to found something useful :-)

Ha, now you are making me seriously doubt myself. I swear the .old files had a modified date of when the update took place. If I was imagining this (which it sounds like I was if the code is not set to do this), there is a chance I would have kept a remote copy due to previous tweaks to both files.

I'll just make a mental note to see what happens when I next upgrade, the .old files have been removed now.

Thanks again.

Mame4all-pi seems to have the best performance of them all but AdvanceMAME has support for more games. imame4all libretro can be compelling because it utilises RetroArch controller configurations.

so i guess with the pi1 you'll be wanting all the performance you can get, so go for mame4all-pi

@dankcushions said in how to create my own dat file for manage MAME ROMs?:

you need to use romlister. if you search for that you should find what you need.

Oh man! A big thank you for this recommendation!! The Romlister is very very usefull to deal with the mess of managing MAME ROMs!

if ethernet or wlan is available -> Yes
so this is a real nice way to speed up the boot process, if u don't need network availability on startup (e.g. boot from lan ...)

Thank you very much, GrethTom, F12 worked perfectly however no response from "Q".....

Yes, that was also one of the reasons why I didn't try any harder and also did the migration to Jessie in the same process...

I know the file can be overwritted, but i still using Retropie 2 , when i managed to update it (maybe in a few months) will be easier. (This is a college project so i dont want to broke it)

@Rascas

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy!

Thanks for the info.

It's a pity there isn't a Sega CD and a Mega CD roms folder, like there is for Megadrive and Genesis. This would save people having to edit config files etc. if they are not comfortable doing so. Same could be said for PC Engine and Turbografx16.

@Twitch0815 said in N64 roms stuttering:

@stumbows
Press x when you launch the game it will give you the runcommand menu
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand
Read that throughly then you will understand

Reference
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Sn3Ks3Xv8cIx3-LGCozVFF7wGLagpVG0csWybnwFHXk/edit
when deciding which setting is the best.

Then once you have mastered that read
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Optimization for Nintendo 64
And make sure to keep up with it so that you can be appraised of improvments for N64.

Thanks for the useful info, I have a proper handle on it now. Seems like I really need to be looking at overclocking for it to work properly. I may have to give up on playing Goldeneye as I really don't want to overlclock my Pi.

Yes I am getting the same issues, just waiting on news about a fix.

Note that the internal bluetooth on the RPI3 currently has problems and will crash the system - there are at least 3 other threads about it and an upstream ticket here - https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1360
