    @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.

    @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

    @Drdave79 said in FBNEO Screen Glitches. (CLOSED):

    I wasn't aware I had to run verbose logging via runcommand.

    you're never going to guess where this is clearly written... https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first :P

    But yes, I did run the command and report back as @dankcushions has requested. He must have missed my response.

    you didn't give me the output. ls -l /dev/shm won't just output a filename, it will output the entire contents of the directory, permissions, etc. that's what i wanted.

    finally this is how you use pastebin. thank you :)

    # Menu driver to use. ("rgui", "xmb", "glui") menu_driver = "xmb"

    the default in retropie is rgui, which consumes the lowest resources. i'm not aware of others causing issues, but bear in mind.

    shaders aren't neccesarily a problem, depending on which one you use, but coupled with overlays they are known to cause performance issues.

    without a verbose log it's a lot of guesswork, though.

    Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for adding the solution to the topic.

    Hold SELECT + DPAD DOWN = Switch the positions of the A-B and X-Y keys

    It would be nice if 8BitDo would include this info in the Modkit manual, they are mentioning _ SELECT + DPAD DOWN_ as a way to send the Home button only when the modkit is paired in Switch mode.

    I'll mark this topic as solved.

    @mathan416 said in Amiberry - Using --model when launching:

    Amiberry on RetroPie does not bring up the proper model with the appropriate ROMS, etc.

    The entries in emulators.cfg are meant to be toggled manually, from the runcommand menu, by the user. They're not assigned automatically when you run a game.

    However, if you're using the default amiberry emulator (i.e. no model), then it will attempt to guess the model needed based on the filename launched.

    The encoders should appear as regular joystick/gamepads under Linux, so something like pygame or python-evdev should be enough to read the inputs.
