@mitu Glad to know I'm not the only one having the issue with Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1. The fact that both of these games play properly on ePSXe, using the same BIOS (SCPH1001.bin) and ROM files, leads me to believe that it's an issue with lr-pcsx-rearmed. I suppose, worst case scenario, I could try The Atari Collection 1 on SNES and Hot Wheels Turbo Racing on N64 if myself or anyone else can't figure out the issue on PSX.

@ChaosFox I have a question on vanilla VICE in Retropie you might be able to answer...

Is there a way to move the virtual keyboard display from the very top/center of the screen. I'd like to pull it down to the bottom as it covers over any questions asked if using a cracked/trainer version of the game. I have to constantly close the display, read the question, re-open...answer.. and repeat.

Other than that, vanilla VICE and a wireless setup is definitely the way to go .

Thanks!

@showstopper said in FBA Neo Romset help?:

For the HBMAME bit is there a list of the files that are required?

No, sorry, but apart from the few dkong hacks i added a few weeks ago (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23549/donkey-kong-spooky-remix-in-retropie), i expect most of them to be also available from older FBNeo/FBAlpha romsets.

@DarioRomero said in Hoto: use Gameshark cheats for the PSX:

I followed the instructions closely but when I bring up the emulator menu theres no directory called Extra Stuff. What am I missing or how can I fix this?

Are you sure you are using pcsx-rearmed and not lr-pcsx-rearmed? That last one is the default if I'm not mistaken. In pcsx-rearmed the menu opens when I press Escape on a keyboard. If it doesn't then you might be using the LibRetro version of PCSX (i.e. the mentioned lr-pcsx-rearmed). Confusing, isn't it?

Good luck! :)

@mitu thanks dude, that was it.
i had removed everything with kodi- before it in
synaptic package manager and then reinstalled kodi
from binary in retropie and restarted retropie/es
and now kodi shows up and runs within ports!
thanks you

@tg4466 you need to configure the new controllers. Luckily it’s easy. Plug the original controller in at the same time with the new ones and press start on emulationstations main menu. You will see configure controllers. Hold down a button on one of the new controllers and follow the prompts on what button to configure. Now you can use the new controllers.

@mitu said in LibRetro not yet ready for Ubuntu 18.04:

I've done some tests recently and it seems the video_threaded = true setting is causing the black video in RetroArch.
If you're willing to give it a try, modify the setting in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg or through the Advanced configuration editor and

put back gl as video driver disable the threaded_video setting.
After the configuration is modified, you can test again any libretro ROMs/Games - no restart/reboot required.

This Worked for me. Thanks !

I corrected my terrible typos. I had someone ring my doorbell and accidentally hit send so it was half gibberish. Sorry haha.

That's what happens when you try and type on a phone with fingers that look like pork sausages and get distracted half way.

@mgrabow
if you choose the option of creating a game-specific file "rom_full_name.cfg" (e.g. centipede.zip.cfg)

input_player1_mouse_index = "n"

don't forget to add this second line:
config_save_on_exit = false

just to prevent an override of the main config...

@thom_retropie There is no Kodi 18.4 on Raspbian Stretch, only on Buster, but I can confirm that Netflix works fine in Kodi 18.2 on RetroPie, just follow the instructions. Don't forget to install pycryptodomex.

@mitu , thanks for the help.

Tried that solution, did not work. Probably it is better to wait for a stable port to rpi4.

@tpo1990 said in connect PS3 controller via usb - cable help!:

For me. I like to use the original hardware with my RetroPie setup so i get the most authentic experience.

Yeah, I am the same, it is all part of the nostalgia

@MrLightgun thanks I just actually updated to the latest version of RetroPie release. I have been holding off because my setup was working great for the most part.

I’m almost done moving my cfgs over and making sure everything is working properly. I believe I will give this process a try and see how it goes.

@Daistaar I'd recommend @Rookervik's launching images as a starting point - https://github.com/ehettervik/es-runcommand-splash.

@Darksavior Nevermind, I found it. That worked perfectly. I'm getting the quarter of a screen problem too, but that can be fixed. Gotta admit, I think I probably enjoy setting up the RetroPie more than playing the games.
