@kikeminchas That's also because of the update - see this post. You can revert the audio to the previous settings by adding snd-bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa=1 to the /boot/cmdline.txt, or modify the .cfg settings file for EmulationStation (as a workaround).

Please add your system's details, as explained in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

A log file from the crash of the emulator - from /dev/shm/runcommand.log - would be helpful to diagnose the issue.

@skrilmps said in can't access MAME 2003+ (libretro) in-game menu:

cy

no problems at all always use then menu to set options code can change any time.

Please don't post links to ROM sites - that's against the forum rules.

As for your issue with the ROM - add some details about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

I took the command from the retropie.desktop application which was

gnome-terminal --hidemenubar -e emulationstation

Now it works smooth.
Thanks!

@Ecks Ok, but is there any way to do this on emulationstation?

I have the same issue with my Xbox controller. My analog does as you say, but my Dpad works fine.

@mitu Hi, that's great info thanks. I presume that if it isn't writable, then pastern.com will allow me to change it?

The weird thing is that it was working so well, and then for no reason it stopped. Also, it is allowing me to do the first edit (ie try another emulator) and seems to write it to the config file, but then won't let me further edit it. Its the same in every emulator - PS1, SNES etc. Got me confused!

Will try what you suggest tho. Thanks again, appreciate it.

@mitu
Yes, the service is started. Now automounting works fine. However, I updated the main RetroPie script and reinstalled usbromservice.

@mitu That's what I thought as well, and that's why I found it really strange.

How are you changing the emulator configuration ?
Since you're using the lr-atari800, there's a Core option that sets the machine type, when you change that option it should be automatically saved. Is this how you change the machine type ?

@mitu Ah I see! That makes a lot of sense. I've got it now thanks! Just need to figure out what buttons I've got and it's all dandy. Although I guess I also need to map some of them so I can still exit retroarch.

You can modify /boot/config.txt and add the following:

hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=68

See https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md for a list of supported video resolutions that can be set via config.txt.

I get much faster boot times with my bluetooth (8bitdo) controllers turned off. Since that's an acceptable workaround for me, I haven't dug in to figure out what's wrong. My expected boot time is around 30 seconds on a 4. I'm only running retropie.

This thread may help:

It suggest running systemd-analyze blame.

The non lr-ppsspp version of ppsspp you would get the menu's and such when just hitting your hotkey.

Hi,
I found the problem.
I analyzed the cable button with a tester and I found that also the blue cable also have 5v, I changed the cables changing the red by blue and is working fine.
Regards,

Okay, thanks.

I'll wait until the official version of Retropie for the Pi4 is released before I look into more lightgun games. They're less than 5% of my games anyway.

Did, by any chance, use rpi-update on your system ? What kernel version does your system have (run uname -a to find out ) ?

@sad_muso I would add, that it's better imho to edit the global file manually or via the RetroPie menu -> configuration editor (which has some of the settings but allows manual editing also)

Reason being that saving out from retroarch saves every possible setting. All config file "comments" will be lost, and it's a lot of config entries. It won't be easy to know what you have changed if you ever need to check.

But of course you can choose the method you prefer.

Both issues have been reported in the forums. For the 1. issue, you can use omxplayer instead of vlc (it's a VLC issue), for 2. there's an issue opened upstream (RetroArch), but there's no solution besides disabling the new style notifications (Menu Widgets).
