This is not a general purpose Raspberry Pi forum - it's a RetroPie dedicated forum. If you're having problems configuring your screen then perhaps getting familiar with how the Raspberry Pi (and Linux) work is what you need to do first. If the vendor has some additional configuration scripts used to configure the screen, then try to look up in their documentation how to use those scripts.

@mitu its not hard in the sense its difficult to do.

i say its hard to plan for what might change to get other things working as you(the devs) go through and get everything underthe hood working the way you want them.

and yes probably nothing is going to change that much that it will happen, but there is a chance. that's what i mean by that.

for me, who it not program savvy as the rest who make scripts and stuff. it will frustrate me that the time i spend was for not, if it broke once the official release comes. again that's just me, and how i am

@Thorr69 i have been talking to a guy from arcade express and he says there are products on this page that can help me

@rmilyard i think its the hot key button with Y on xbox controllers

@mitu i reinstalled the sdl2 page of the dependencies in the retropie menu

@mrchips What file and path did you modify this exact thing is happening to me working then not

@retropieuser555 Do you have this with any specific game that i can try ?

Anyway, i test with Daytona (USA) and the game is running at 60 fps. Before test i update core packages, system packages, emulator. My resolution is 1360x768 and i am using the default settings of the system.

@mitu thanks for the help :-)
I cannot be the only one with that problem, but so far I haven't found anyone discussing these issues. might be my stupidity ... :-D
...
Dongle didn't work before, will try again now ...
I'd like to not buy another controller :-D
maybe if I install raspbian first and then add the stuff manually ...
I think I should focus on getting the controller to work and then get retropie running, since the controller is a little bit more annoying :-D
I'll reflash libreeleec some time later this week and check whether it works there, then raspbian and just add what I need to that, once the controller is working!

If I remember, I will update the post here, to at least help people in the future :-D

nevermind it works now !

@CARRisma Wow! That's an awesome fix! Thank you!

@Viktorbe said in Retropie crashes when choosing any option:

When istart Retropie via terminal. Everything works fine.

As explained in the installation page you used, we don't support using the desktop on the Pi, the front-end should be started from the terminal, as you have - forcibly - discovered.

EDIT: make sure you update your post in the other forums, so users there know what was the solution.

@mitu Hi Mitu, just to tell you that:

pi@retropie:~ $ sudo pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/marcusva/py-sdl2.git

...solved the problem.

Now, I don't get anymore the 'Unable to install binary for joy2key' during a Retropie update and, now, I can navigate in the retropie-setup menus with my joypad. And, it has been verified after a reboot, also.

So, many thanks for your great help!

Have a great day.

@mitu I followed the exact steps here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35355/unable-to-set-control-mapping-in-dolphin-dolphin-emu-not-loading/8?_=1714924854335

and it all worked but I was left with that login screen.

I reverted back to my SD card backup just before I did those steps and followed the instructions @abj gave me above and it worked perfectly fine!

@mitu im using raspberry pi5

@i2047 so i had the same problem, but fixed it. the way i fixed it was instead of doing the lite version of RPI OS i did the desktop version and it worked.

What's in the boot partition of the SDcard ? It seems only config.txt is being read and the other files are either missing or corrupted - including the firmware files needed to start the boot. Did you get any errors during the update ?

You can copy over the files from a good known boot partition, but they'll have to match the kernel you have installed. You can save your sdcard as an .img file, then re-install RetroPie and do an update again. Save the boot partition contents, restore your initial image and copy over the saved file from the correct boot partition.

@ExarKunIv maybe you know how to set 60hz on retropie? I found video how to do it but I missing resolution option
