That's the page I used to map my controls.

@Waylander121 we all have to start somewhere. Glad it worked for you!

Please provide us with the information that is asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and with the exact wording of the crash screen (preferably in form of a screenshot).

@Xenos I'm using an USB SSD for my roms. It makes it very easy to just unplug it and plug it into my desktop pc to manage roms or images/videos, especially if moving many or big files around, which tends to be very slow over my WLAN connection to the Pi in my DIY upright arcade cabinet.

@ucald4amarine said in Scraper not getting all.:

@Clyde But a simple scrape from an alternate source wouldn't take more than a hour or so of my time.

Then it remains an option for those games which aren't included in any of the online databases. Glad that you like it. :)

Oh I guess this may have something to do with it... on their sales page and not their support page:

And yet they still offer the firmware and utility on the support side of the website.
Oh well, only cost me 3 frustrating hours of my life.

@MajorDangerNine I've not checked but I suspect you renamed important page(s), breaking any links to them from other pages and the navigation on our docs (and generation of). Would be wise to check before making changes like this.

Renaming pages is a bad idea in general since it breaks links to them.

I have used dispmanx_vncserver in the past with my retropie and really enjoyed it (great for the getting started stages when you are trying to get the controller setup right and the kids are complaining they want to watch TV ;))

Anywho, I rebuilt my retropie yesterday and found that in the new versions (4.x, based on stretch) the make command for dispmanx_vncserver failed. Did a little digging and came up with this.

https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/77619/where-is-legl-lglesv2

I had to modify the make file in order for it to work properly, based on that link.

Hope this might help someone else :)

@MajorDangerNine this too.

@MajorDangerNine this is your doing too

@aj36601 I had a similar issue with my 2 player setup. I found that once I just swapped ports on the usb, that it stayed fixed.

I dunno if this helps. But I noticed when I did my 2 player 6 button + coin, players, and hot key setup, left and right controls would always swap for some unknown reason. Making the hot key not work. I have no idea why, it makes no sense to me. But as soon as I swapped the 2 USB ports, everything is golden.

@mitu informed me this is now fixed if you update and go through retropie setup to fix this

have since updated my "retropie script"

So much for running the 'latest version'...

Way to make someone feel welcome.

@maxdude6 great that you've solved your issue buddy.

@lostless thanks for the quick reply - my original RP install is completely up to date as of last week, I was intending doing a backup of that and writing it to the card for the 3B+. I guess there is no harm in just trying it anyway, but it is always handy to know if something is SUPPOSED to work, then if it doesn't I know I am doing something wrong and that it is not a compatibility issue.

I am having the same issue mine comes up with o LG one gamepad recognized. I have a 3B+ with retropie 4.4. I have tried the custom kernel 1.20160322-1 and the cmdline.txt with no luck. The kernel install fails though so I'm not sure how to get around that or if it would even work on a 3B+ at all.

@mediamogul That sorted the Channel F (with a bit of tweaking), cheers.

The Astrocade I'd already fixed, and it works fine for every game I've tried EXCEPT Space Fortress (unfortunately the best game on the system), which used to run fine but now goes at about 1fps. I tried using your .RC file instead, but the exact same thing happened.

The really freaky one is the Arcadia, though. I can get it to run no problem, right up to the point where I start any game, at which point it plays them by itself. No matter how I set the controls, the player ship will just lurch around, moving and shooting (or whatever) all on its own, regardless of whether I touch the controls or not.

But here's the REALLY wacky part.

If I boot up Pleiades on the Arcadia, it plays through the first three stages by itself. It's pretty good - it clears them all. So I wondered if I'd (somehow) recorded and then played back a previous game. But THEN, and only then, it gives me back control for the last stage (the one where you steer onto an airstrip dodging the parked ships). Keyboard and joystick both control the ship perfectly.

Once I've steered to the target and completed the stage, the Pi takes over and plays by itself again.

If anyone can explain any of THAT, I'm all ears.

RetroPie will give you an LBS error trying to resize on boot with retropie 4.4 with berryboot. It will also not allow you to resize it from retropie raspi-config nor while you have retropie booted and using the command line.

If you are using berryboot with retropie you will need to reboot the pie and do this from berryboots terminal via the berry boot menu with ctrl + alt + F2. I was able to resize an image I took of a 16G SD card written to a 64G card and resize it to expand all available space to the SD.

I cannot take credit for this, but will link what helped me after I spent a few hours trying to figure it out. Back up your SD pay no attention to drive space numbers in the examples below.

Backup your SD card to an image file first!

Enter this to see the current partition usage:
df

E.g.
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 3698504 3351472 146524 96% /
/dev/root 3698504 3351472 146524 96% /
devtmpfs 494800 0 494800 0% /dev
tmpfs 99820 240 99580 1% /run
tmpfs 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 199620 0 199620 0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 57288 19400 37888 34% /boot

The rootfs and /dev/root is the same thing, its just a debian thing the have them both appear as separate

Enter this:
sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

Then press 'p' to see the current partitions on the disk. E.g.

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7860 MB, 7860125696 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 239872 cylinders, total 15351808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xa6202af7
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 8192 122879 57344 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 122880 15351807 7614464 83 Linux

Now delete the 2nd partition (it won't actually delete the data on it)
Press 'd' > Enter
Press '2' > Enter

Now re-create it:
Press 'n' > Enter
Press 'p' > Enter
Press '2' > Enter

Enter the First sector and the same value as the original /dev/mmcblk0p2 partition (122880 from the above example).

For the Last sector just press enter to use the maximum value.

Now press 'p' > Enter to see the new partition setup.
Finally press 'w' > Enter to write it

Now reboot:
sudo shutdown -r now

Once its back do the resize:
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

This may take a little while to complete…

Now enter the command
df

and hey presto, you've expanded to use all the space :-)
