The hotkey is defined in the RetroPie controller config. You can then customize the hotkeys in RetroArch.

Or I believe you can set up "shift key" behavior in the I-PAC config to do the same thing.

If you still want separate buttons that's fine, was just a personal preference to have my controls be minimal.

I haven't installed any leaf buttons/sticks myself, I guess you can check the other forums here or google around for more info.

well, i deleted the custom es-systems.cfg file, reinstalled all the emulators and they now appear on the system list and games are launching well.
Thanks a lot for the help.

I have lost the system PC Engine CDROM that i created outside PCENGINE as a standalone system, i need to figure out how to create it again without making a custom es_systems.cfg file !

This topic can be marked as solved !

@DavidDraper

Ah ok will do.

Thanks for your response.

I use the hotkeys for my retropie on tv...but for the arcade I find it much friendly without. When I need hotkey I just grab the wireless keyboard. The volume switch is already on the cabinet I’m using.

I have also notice on the new retropie image on retroarch hot key binds they added a double tap of the exit. Not sure if code on that can be adjusted as a hard press instead?

Thank you both

It Worked!!!!

that did the trick !!!!!!

Start with this youtube video:

This will help. If you still have questions, come back. I'll keep an eye on the thread.

@dankcushions

yeah i guess its all trail and error ... well i didnt think it mattered with game settings , i just thought it was controller settings that were that's it

well with all this advice you have given me ... i have knowledge what to try and see ... i appreciate that very much

thank you for all your help

I got the same error message, I fixed it by changing the power supply :/

What account ? I assume it was banned for good reason.

Just remembered the c64 had different colors between pal and ntsc changed the default to ntsc on vice now it matches my memory.

still not sure why the letter s acts up on a physical keyboard in lr-vice

One further thing, I found by changing Terminal=false to true, then a terminal window will popup asking for a password, enter the password and it works.

So only conclusion I can draw is that it must be permissions related.

OK, I found what was causing this issue : I've put the metroid folder in /home/pi/ in order to copy it in /etc/emulationstation/themes/showcase/ and it was interfering...

You can mount the usb stick once and then either link or mount its directories. For this simple purpose, links and mounts should be mere preference, although they have some differences. I prefer mounts for their heightened transparency to the system, but others prefer links.

Just search the web for either "linux symlinks" or "linux bind mount" for a ton of how-tos about them, like this one or this one.

edit: If you put the contents of roms in the root directory of the stick, you can also mount it directly onto the roms dir on your memory card. Mind that this will make anything in the card's roms dir unavailable for the duration of the mount.

For the benefit of anyone else stumbling upon this via Google (I understand the last post is a year old), and trying to get Retroarch to work with Parasite Eve 2 with PSX Beetle HW.

PE2 really hates having certain settings changed from defaults. The 2 main ones are;

-CPU Dynarec (disabled)
-CD Loading Speed (2x)

Here's a quick screenshot of settings that should guarantee to work (with Retroarch on Windows anyway).

I guess that works too but I went into the actual Core config files, I cant remember the exact path, opt/retropie/configs.

Can't open network settings, the option is grey...

@BuZz said in Make launch image appear longer?:

the image is displayed with another program that needs to exit before we load the emulator. The grey box is left on the terminal during loading which is different.

Interesting, I was actually wondering about this myself recently. Is there a reason it's not possible to load in the background while the image is displayed?

I just noticed the lha I am using is only 58k and could no way contain a game. It wasn't a problem with the Kickstarts, it was the lha. I switched to a good lha and the game is loading!
