@mitu well that was a good hint. Even though tracert and ping tests checked out, a faulty network cable was still the culprit. Must have just been enough to connect somehow.

@neo2216 if you cant get an image to run, you can also install retropie on the default raspberry pi os using these instructions:

Install retropie in raspbian os

This is how i have installed it.

@iLouzze ```
gpio=18.19=a5

@mitu I just saw the other answer in there, I'll try changing those flags and see what happens, thanks!

@mitu thanks for the reply, I did check various threads but what is confusing me here is that in hindsight they did work, but have suddenly stopped. They did work but whilst messing with stuff to see if there was any impact I upped the vram and also enabled the oxm player, but these are now back to their default and it is now the videos only play sound.

here's what your looking for https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/syi2ae/i_f_you_need_help_with_dk64_emulation_on_glide64/

@wesw02 Did you try to manually set the joystick order in retropie-setup for the emulator you are using?

I had the problem that 1 out of 10 times, when loading a game, the player1 controller was assigned to player2.

Pushing needs an remote repository.

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ git remote -v # output cmitu git@github.com:cmitu/RetroPie-Setup.git (fetch) cmitu git@github.com:cmitu/RetroPie-Setup.git (push) origin https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup (fetch) origin https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup (push)

If you haven't added your own repository as a remote, add it first (make sure you set-up SSH keys authentication for the repository, Github doesn't allow pushing over HTTPS anymore with user/pass). Then, when you create a branch and want to push it to your repository, just

git push --set-upstream mine test

where mine is the name of your fork's remote repository.

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ git push --set-upstream cmitu amiberry-5.2 Enumerating objects: 45, done. Counting objects: 100% (43/43), done.

How is this related to RetroPie ?

@Nathan1031982 Skyscraper (and perhaps Sselph's Scraper too, but I haven't used it) will write gamelists in alphabetical order when it processes them.

After you play a game, ES updates the last-played and play count data. It removes the old enty with the old data, and writes the new entry with updated data at the end of the file.

You can re-write your gamelist with Skyscraper if you want an alphabetized snapshot of it to use for another project but you can't make it stay alphabetized if you play any games.

@PARALAX you can install it just like any emulator, It's under "optional packages".
There you can also uninstall it.

You can install the desktop on the RetroPie image and other packages (including a browser) so you can operate directly from the Pi. See here.

Does the RAW backup then also occupy as much space as there is data on the SD card or is it then a 1:1 image of the entire SD card and its capacity?

If you look in the topic for the utility I pointed, there's an explanation on how much space does it take - it will initially create a full block copy of your sdcard, then shrink it to the actual size of used blocks. So you need to have enough space on your USB disc for a full sdcard copy.

From the ScummVM menu, try to set
Graphic Mode to OpenGL and Renderer Engine to Software. After that try to launch the game, i hope it will work.

@Peetem Can you share a snip of the files you edited and changes you made? I'm running into this same issue on a Frogger Arcade1Up cabinet I'm working on.

Solved. Just use the ScreenScraper and not the GamesDB. Dumb of me not test this. :)

I had the same issue. The problem is that RetroPie manage default resolution very bad.
To solve this and other performance issues just play with the resolution and set the best that fits your needs.
You have to enter the raspbi-config -> display options.
If the system crashes when you select display options, use this trick:
Enter the menu and before opening display options disconnect the HDMI.
Than open display options (with screen off) and connect HDMI again.
It should solve the problem.

After I changed resolution I experienced a big performance jump!
And all that glitches and sprite problems was solved
