@mitu Update! I found out that I only get the retroarch problem when I use the ipega controller. I never get problem with any other controllers. Using another controller, a managed to get my ipega to work... success!

@barrymossel said in Resolution doesn't change:

. Still weird that setting resolution through the configuration editor doesn't work.

The configuration editor is for RetroArch configurations and I think RA doesn't change the resolution of screen itself. What you actually want is the runcommand resolution switch - which works with tvservice. Another option is to use the onstart/onend scripts to switch resolution, instead of manually configuring per-emulator settings in the Runcommand.

@fnkngrv Not sure if you are still having trouble but have you checked the /dev/shm/ folder for the runcommand log files? They usually give a good indication with libretro cores as to why things aren't working.

If it may be of help for anyone else i found a solution, even though it's not optimal. If i edit the game override file that was created and add:

input_overlay_enable = "true"

then the overlay is displayed. So, now i need to manually edit all the config files that should have an overlay which is not optimal but atleast it works. What i don't understand is why RetroArch don't add this line by itself when i save a game override with the overlay option turned on.

You can find more information about this at:
https://docs.libretro.com/guides/libretro-overlays/

When everybody else activate overlays and save, do you get the input_overlay_enabled added automatically?

@EpicFury Did you hit the Tab key in AM like @Walker843 suggested?

Do I understand you correctly that you mean by "find a way back to ES" to boot into ES instead of AM? I don't know Floob's image, but since it's based on Retropie, the frontend to start at boot should be in the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. To boot into ES, the file should (only) contain this line:

emulationstation #auto

I would recommend to backup the file first, though.

@screw One of the advantages of Etcher is that you don't need to extract the image, so you just write it as is.

@barbudreadmon

Well then the community owes you a big thanks for your time and effort buddy!

I appreciate the offer, but I don't wanna put anymore on your plate, plus I have an alternate solution, and lastly, I don't have a github account anyway haha. If you think its still worth to track and eventually fix though, I'll create a github account and add the issue in there.

You probably changed some permissions for the file/folder containing it. Don't delete folders nilly/willy, this will probably cause other errors.
Check the permissions for the /opt/retropie/configs/all/ folder and make sure the pi user can write to that folder. Easiest would be to re-install the RetroArch package, this will apply the correct permissions on the config files.

I will refer to all toasters as chromed-out bread burners henceforth.

Ha! Well, it'd make a nice name for a retrospective piece. As in; 'Chromed-out Bread Burners: The True Story of Flying Toasters'. However, knowing the internet, it'll likely be used to describe some shocking adult activity within a week.

@bomba said in Hotkey delay & hotkey for rewind/ff conflict:

I'm experiencing players constantly quitting games by mistake.

Which players ? Please open an new topic and explain your problem, don't bump 2 years old topics.

@mitu thank you.

@glimo this is explained in the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Entertainment-System/

You need ROMs with headers. Headerless ROMs will not work.

Is anyone running a Stretch version of Retropie with an Xbox 360 controller?

Can you tell me what your buttons map to, and if the player lights are working?

Ah ok, thanks and have a nice evening.

@dankcushions said in Text off screen edges.:

@piercedfreak ok, so now you try with negative numbers, i think. or larger positive numbers. it's measured in pixels

I had tried negative numbers with no effect, but just tried again, and they worked, and fixed it. Thanks.

@dudleydes thank you , i have solve the problem by download Rom Set of .uae .

@Tigry Thanks for sharing your solution, glad you found it.

Just for completeness, I was going to suggest that you could use @meleu's joystick-selection tool to see if your sticks are configured as player 1 +2. If not, that could've been the reason why they didn't work in RetroArch.
