    @mitu thank you for helping, the raspberry pi is a 3B+ made to look like a gameboy so it hasn’t a screen of its own connected to the raspberry pi inside a gameboy shell. The screen is black (but there is an indication that it is on since the blackness glows when in darkness) and when I turn on the console, the introduction plays without the screen - I can hear the PlayStation intro sound that it makes - and then it stops and the 4 blinks occur. I haven’t modified the console at all and it was working perfectly for the past 4 months. It did do this thing where it would start to glitch and freeze or the console would completely shut off, but I could always just turn it back on and it would start up again. However, I was playing it and what happened was the console just fell slightly onto a pillow then the screen went black but the sound still played. Now when I turn it on, the screen stays black, the intro plays, and then it stops running. Does retropi or emulation station stop running (does it shut off) if there is no hdmi output? I’m thinking maybe the screen got bumped out of place, but it doesn’t explain why the sd card stops running or that when I click a button, the games don’t start and make noise at least.

    @Sparkathor said in Minimize games selection with removing them from sd card:

    Would it be easier if I have a couple thousand games to just pick the few I want available as kids games then switch to "kidgame" mode?

    Yes, this is how Kid mode works.

    Can I make a new collection and fill it with those games tagged as kid games and then have only that single collection show up when in "kidgame" mode? Even if they are for different emulators?

    No, the systems from which the game are picked will also be shown.

    @mitu Many thanks for your prompt response. I was away a few days and just got back. Your recommendation completely fixed my situation with the rumbling. As an added bonus, I was able to set up the controller via Bluetooth, which I was also unable to do prior.

    My apologies for not including enuf info on my system/setup. I've reviewed the instructions and will be guided accordingly in future.

    Again, my apologies and many thanks!!

    @metallo said in Poor Performance + Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color, ZX81 PC98, PC88 not showing up, no matter how many times I update:

    I'll have to figure out how to install "lr-beetle-wswan" onto the Pi-Zero. Probably via Command line if the pre-packaged software doesn't have it loaded up by default.

    It's part of the 'Getting Started' docs section - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#updatinginstalling-individual-packages

    @charv44

    Following the steps in that video is not recommended. RPI4 support is not being worked on in the master branch at all.

    Until we officially implement support, these instructions are more accurate - but keep in mind that we are not yet providing any support or looking for bug reports (especially on github) for the development branch. You can try your luck and ask for help here, but don't expect miracles.

    @jodiefoster They're the .LHA format files that WHDLoad format Amiga games come in. Having given this a little thought I think I can do this as a script that would do the job just as well.

    @RetroNerdman You're welcome. I only have experience with the Neo Geo GOG installers, so my advice is just fishing in muddy waters. 😉

    @Spottedfeather said in First Time Installer:

    @mitu So, you can't move the ini file into retropie. But are there .ini files in the retropie version of mame that I can fiddle with ?

    I'm not sure at which version MAME started using .ini files for settings, but for instance MAME2003 (based on Mame 0.78) uses .cfg files to store the settings. I'm not sure if any other MAME emulator used in RetroPie accepts .ini files for configuration - take a look at the available versions here.

    @Solid-One Thank you for your reply. It is interesting that you had no issue with the same game using an earlier version of RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 2. I have submitted a report at https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues/350 as you suggested.

    @mitu Just a quick update. I compared the .bin/.cue files on my pi to the database. It turned out, that half of the .bin file was corrupted so I just had to put them again on my Pi0. And now MGS runs pretty well. Thanks for the help! :)

  • Controller Mapping per Controller ID?

    Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I ended up with 3 different entries in the EmulationStation.
    I'm leaving instructions and the *.svg files I made just in case anyone wants to recreate my scenario.

    3 Entries on EmulationStation:

    FBA Capcom Fighting Games, mapped for SNES-style controllers (4 face buttons + 2 shoulder buttons; 8bitdo SNES sn30, 8bitdo NES n30) FBA Capcom Fighting Games, mapped for Saturn-style controllers (6 face buttons + 2 shoulder buttons; RetroBit Saturn Pad, RetroBit Genesis Arcade Pad, 8bitdo Mega Drive m30, Sega Saturn USB Pad, Retroflag Classic Controller) FBA Capcom Fighting Games, mapped for PlayStation-style controllers (4 face buttons + 4 shoulder buttons; DualShock, DualShock 2, DualShock 3, DualShock 4, Xbox 360 controller, Xbox One controller, Hori Fighting Commander, Hori Real Arcade Pro, Brook Universal Stick or pretty much any arcade stick that follows the standard layout)

    That way you can use whatever controller you have available and the button layout will always be correct for those fighting games.

    1st Step - Add the Systems on es_systems.cfg

    <system> <name>capcomf4</name> <fullname>Final Burn Alpha</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/capcom-fighting</path> <extension>.7z .cue .fba .iso .zip .7Z .CUE .FBA .ISO .ZIP</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ capcomf4 %ROM%</command> <platform>arcade</platform> <theme>capcomf4</theme> </system> <system> <name>capcomf6</name> <fullname>Final Burn Alpha</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/capcom-fighting</path> <extension>.7z .cue .fba .iso .zip .7Z .CUE .FBA .ISO .ZIP</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ capcomf6 %ROM%</command> <platform>arcade</platform> <theme>capcomf6</theme> </system> <system> <name>capcomfpsx</name> <fullname>Final Burn Alpha</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/capcom-fighting</path> <extension>.7z .cue .fba .iso .zip .7Z .CUE .FBA .ISO .ZIP</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ capcomfpsx %ROM%</command> <platform>arcade</platform> <theme>capcomfpsx</theme> </system>

    2nd Step - Add the Themes Files
    https://www62.zippyshare.com/v/wMXwTxNE/file.html
    Just copy to the folder /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon

    3rd Step - Add the Emulation Settings
    https://www69.zippyshare.com/v/2HnpWDWb/file.html
    Just copy to the folder /opt/retropie/configs
    The remap info are in those files. Just a reminder, your controllers have to set according to the wiki https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki, for instance, the Left Shoulder is mapped to the first button to the left on the top row of your controller.

    4th Step - Create Folder and Copy ROMs
    You'll need a folder called capcom-fighting and drop your ROMs there.

    If you're using Arcade Manager, here's the *.cvs file of the non-merged ROMs I used:

    name; dstlku; hsf2; hsf2j; jojo; jojoba; jojobane; jojoj; mbomberj; mbombrdj; megaman; megaman2; mshj; mshu; mshvsfj; mshvsfu; mvscjsing; mvscu; nwarru; redearth; rockman2j; rockmanj; sf; sf2cejc; sf2ceuc; sf2hf; sf2hfj; sf2jl; sf2uk; sfa2u; sfa3u; sfau; sfiii2; sfiii2j; sfiii3n; sfiii3u; sfiiij; sfiiiu; sfj; sfz2alj; sfz2j; sfz3j; sfzj; smbomb; ssf2t; ssf2tb; ssf2tbj; ssf2xj; vampj; vhunt2; vhuntj; vsav2; vsavj; vsavu; warzard; xmcotaj; xmcotau; xmvsfj; xmvsfu;

    Also, EmulationStation doesn't seem to respect any order other than alphabetically, so I numbered the games in my gamelist.xml

    Well, that should be it. Unfortunatelly it won't let me play fighting games against someone who owns a different controller than the one I decide to use, but at the very least I have everything mapped and ready for use.

    Also I am aware that Street Fighter The Movie runs well and uses a 6-button layout but... I guess I rather not remember that exists.
