@Teeqla I was skimming the internet trying to do a project similar to yours and was wondering if you have had any success with the Linux Joystick Mapper and if you might be able to share it if you have?

@mitu
Awesome!
Perhaps it's an incompatibility issue related with Ubuntu x64 19.04, will try experiment a bit more, but I'm glad at least it works on the RPi, hopefully someday this code will be added into retropie script since the upstream version has a higher games compatibility than old stella 2014

@kwodkore I didn't mean to sound angry or irritated. Thank you for not "jumping down my throat". Sorry for seeming like a jack*** about it.

@rkoster said in Adding Text to Custom Theme:

I posted an example of doing exactly this just the other day: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22800/add-console-year-next-to-games-count/2

Thanks so much! That does look like it might be what I'm after, but I still can't see to get it to work quite right. I have tried it a few different ways, but the code is not displaying properly. Can you upload links to the two XML files you reference in the other thread so I can see you're work-flow (and will help discover where I'm going wrong)

@Thorr69 @Parabolaralus
Ok, thanks for the help and info!

@Babis said in Controllers Setup:

If I install a fresh image of retropie will my roms remain or do I have to back them up and re upload them?

A fresh image will have only RetroPie, no ROMs are included in the image. You'll have to back them up if you like to keep your existing files.

@Davedrumx I know this is quite old topic but I believe the thing you are.. or atleast were looking for is SBI Files for certain PS1 Pal games. They can be downloaded from psxdatacenter and possibly from other places too like internet archive.

@SinisterSpatula That's great indeed and I'm glad I could help. I can't wait to see the next iteration you produce.

The advanced mapping method with case statement really works well if you have a lot of code. My arcade machine's runcommand-onstart.sh has about 4,300 lines of code for 4 arcade joysticks, a PS4 wireless controller and an 8BitDo Zero covering about 60 systems. I also use it for all of the libretro cores too now. It doesn't miss a beat, so I reckon you're going down the right path.

Going back to my GPi vice code, with a bit more testing I'm finding that it's definitely not working for every game, so I reckon your newly produced code will be more successful than mine in "universalising" the controls for the c64. Please feel free to experiment with my code of course and make any changes you think are best.

2 years ago I've created a github-project to cleanup all your roms.
maybe this is something for you.

Amazing ! will give it a try
haha funny , i cant change it to lower .
maybe upper .

After downgrading the kernel to 1.20190401-1, I tried to run RetroPie-Setup which upgraded the kernel to 1.20190517-1. Now the overscan settings still apply to both console and ES. I don't know if this is because of the downgrade-upgrade procedure, or because of the changes I made to /boot/config.txt. Anyway I paste here the relevant settings I have in the file:

disable_overscan=1 overscan_left=20 overscan_right=20 overscan_top=11 overscan_bottom=11 overscan_scale=1

In Raspi-Config, Select Advanced, Overscan and then Disable. That should allow your GUI to extend to the edges of your screen. if it's still not to your liking you'll need to change the Overscan value in Config.txt in the /boot partition on your MicroSD card.

@TheBossT said in Retropie 4.4 HDMI Problem: Garbled Sound When Playing ANY Console/Emulator:

Also if anyone can maybe give some alternatives to bluetooth audio as the lag ain't great, that will be greatly appreticated!

There aren't many solutions out there and it seems this solution not only breaks other audio outputs but also is unusable due to the lag. I'm almost certain the Pi dosen't have enough horsepower to emulate games and stream bluetooth audio, as per the tutorial above I have completely removed it and I recommend that you should too. Let me know how you get on and if you find an alternative that doesn't stutter.

@mitu Yep, that did the trick! Thank you!

@drake999 have you tried to set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9 in Configuration Editor? Worked for me.

@danield420 well the black screen could be a bad rom or possibly a missing bios file. Sure there are other factors for the balck screen i'm still learning myself. This RetroPie Github page has helped me so much https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Supported-Systems .

Or make another topic and i'm sure someone can help you solve the problem if you didn't already on your own.

@Spectral There's no need to delete it. Just leave it as it.

sorry my bad just new to forrums etc and the retro thing :)
