hey @icebear81!

I'm facing a similar problem. As RetroPie/Emulationstation do not rely on X11, most libraries to emulate a virtual keyboard input don't work.

I'm trying to send key presses to a running game. The following python3 script works in the emulationstation menu, but doesn't in game (lr-gambatte).

Do you have any idea how I can send virtual keystrokes (via a python script, started on an SSH session) to a running game?

import time import uinput def main(): events = (uinput.KEY_LEFT, uinput.KEY_DOWN, uinput.KEY_D) with uinput.Device(events) as device: time.sleep(1) device.emit_click(uinput.KEY_LEFT) time.sleep(0.2) device.emit_click(uinput.KEY_D) time.sleep(0.2) device.emit_click(uinput.KEY_D) time.sleep(0.2) device.emit_click(uinput.KEY_DOWN) time.sleep(0.2) if __name__ == "__main__": main()

@mitu said in lr-ppsspp crashes on hotkey reset:

Is there a similar issue reported for PPSSPP ?

I didn't see one, but the repo is pretty active and there's a lot to sift through so it's possible I may have missed something.

The closest one I found was this one, also for the libretro core; I'm not sure if it's the same issue since I didn't test any of those other actions and I'm not sure if Sync Audio is enabled or not -- I can test some more next week.

@ringus Maybe it would be a good idea to update your question with the neccessary information needed for us (the community) to help you (according to: !! READ THIS FIRST !!), especially hardware, retropie version (and source for that|[edit:]method of installation) and in this case emulator(s) used came to mind to set a usable context)

@mitu I ended up loading version 4.8 on an sd card and switching my pi’s boot selector to usb default. When PINN adds 4.8 to their lineup I can add it to a project space. Thank you for the help.

Just one more question — what is the difference between "Theme Style Packs" and "System Style Packs"?

@RobbyThomas2525 Ok then, with a stock 4.8 image from retropie.org.uk/download EmulationStation works - did you do any additional configuration on your system, like installing an additional display driver or modifying the config.txt boot configuration file ?

@mitu Ah thanks for the advice. Turns out I only have the Pi3 so even if I could somehow set up the thing to recognise I had a Saturn emulator on it, it's like you said it more than likely wouldn't run very well or even at all. And to think I spent all afternoon browsing the thing's files to try and find a backdoor. Oh well. Sticking to pre 1995 consoles for now it seems.

@sleve_mcdichael Sorted - upgraded Rasbian from stretch to Buster.

Bump? Did I post this in the wrong place?

@MarsBar said in Amiga Emulation Problem:

I just have a card that has an 'overlays' folder, and a lot of files.

Sounds like the card is still in your PC, and so you're only able to view the small FAT32-formatted /boot partition. The bulk of the image is on another partition in EXT4 format, which cannot be read by Windows. You'll need to put the card in a Linux system, or put it in your Pi and remote in with SSH/SFTP to view the full filesystem. (There's still no amiga folder, until you install one of the optional Amiga emulators through RetroPie-Setup: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#updatinginstalling-individual-packages .)

@rasp_renegade said in Scraper crashes ES:

. I had swapped gamelists and forgot, so disregard the part about old files. Anything else useful in that log?

I don't see any issues in the log.

Do you have an input override for this game ? If you open the RetroArch menu and go to Controls/Port 1, what kind of device type does it say it is ?

Please add some more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@Dandelion I agree with Folly. If you're sticking with Old Skool games, go with the Pi3b+. It's plenty to run those.

For any other lights, lighted buttons, or other stuff that might pull power from a USB on the Pi. Check if you can source power from something else. The Pi performance will degrade the more power you pull from it...even CPU fans.

Take your time designing and researching. It'll pay off

@bbvbandit2 You just download the install 'image' and write it to the sdcard - it's explained in the docs.

@Sisyphus Same problem here. Using a generic SNES controller that works on every single other game except for VVVVVV.

@mitu i will try that and update. Thanks!

@Darksavior Thanks Darksavior. Going to overclock it and try it out for a bit. I appreciate the insight!

@mitu Cool, thanks! That puts my mind at ease.
