@Hex @mitu For me, the power saving mode was disabled by default on 4.6.1 on a Pi4, I turned it on to Enhanced and the CPU usage dropped instantly to 0.3 as before. Maybe it needs to be reactivated by default?
Thanks for the explanation!

@barbudreadmon Well there's debate as to o/c it further is worth the effort. I'm also using a Flirc case so I don't really want to push the boat out as it's only passively cooled.

@Bluebotlabs If it's not in the documentation, then it's not supported.

@shavecat said in Retropie Atomiswave Rumble Fish 1/2 no background in the game:

how do i check my romset?

You could also check versus the ROmset files on adb.arcadeitalia.net, but that's just a one-time thing.

@Clyde Thanks - managed to create an image backup so I'm happy now :)

But unfortunately I still haven't resolved this audio issue; do you have any pointers? From memory I don't think I've ever used OMXPlayer for video previous in the past, but as of recently if I don't use it then videos take ageeeees to load, so I have to use it, it would seem. But I can't for the life of me figure out why the audio won't work! As mentioned before, I'm trying to get this working through HDMI.

Ok I understood what was happening.
There were two more optional Dreamcast emulators that I missed installing.

The games that were not booting in the Reicast run well on the other two. :)

It's a temporary issue with the upstream repository - watch this topic for updates.

Great, thanks - to be honest FS-UAE is working great with my single ADF files, I just need to find a way how to make it load multiple ADFs in one go.

@pojr said in RetroPie stuck in 4:3 (the interface, NOT the games):

@dankcushions
I don't think it would be 81, but you are correct that it's wrong. Shouldn't be 16 because my TV only displays up to 720p, not 1080p. Although it is a 16:9 TV (not 64:27 like it shows under #81). Also, my TV frequency isn't 30Hz, unless I'm missing something.

you've fixed it now so i guess this is irrelevant but yes, you'd need to use hdmi_group=2 for 81 - it doesn't seem to be supported under 1. but yes, @mitu 's suggestion would get show you the complete list of supported modes. given that it's less than 4k, i would always want to be running in the native panel resolution so you don't get scaling artefacts.

i assume now you've taken out hdmi_safe you can safely take out any hard coded modes and it should hopefully choose 1366x768 by default.

@mitu OK thanks

Are you using a 4k TV ? Try forcing an 1080p resolution - use raspi-config to set it.

@mitu
Thanks for the advice. I ended up re-installing on both cards. It worked just fine, set up the controllers, then tried to get back into ES, but the errors started again. Re-installed image again and worked fine, so far. So it's up and running, but not perfect.

Thanks for your help!

Actually just switched to a different monitor and now its working fine. I also installed Mame 2003 plus, but not sure if that would have done anything.

Apologies for wasting your time and thanks again.

@ExarKunIv I know this was some time ago, but I am trying to make my joystick act like a mouse in DOSbox. Do you remember where that file you made is stored?

same here,, i have to set my mouse an every single game :/

turns out the BIOS files i was using weren't quite right; it's important to check the CRC32 against what is listed on the lr-x1 page i linked to.

to do this on raspberry pi, you just type this:

crc32 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/xmil/IPLROM.X1

once i used BIOS files that matched the CRC32 the games i mentioned load fine - the emulator gets past the DISK MENU prompt and takes to a menu where you can select a game (seems you need a keyboard to make the selection, though).
