So I started a new game, saved at the first point, exited, then renamed the srm to srm.bak for safekeeping, then uploaded and renamed the srm I wanted and it worked.

Any ideas why this is an issue? I'm not really complaining, I'm more intrigued at this point. It almost seems as if the emulator keeps track of whether or not a save should exist. That seems counterintuitive considering the concept of removeable memory cards on the console itself and I would assume an emulator would not need to care if a game had ever been started. Is it similar to modern consoles where it tracks and creates an internal memory file of the game existing and has save files separate?

@buzz Which 8bitdo controllers do you use? Are these your primary? I bought and set up a pair of SN30s in January(they seem to be a discontinued version now, maybe for good reason?) for someone and they seemed to be fine for sidescrollers but were finnicky when charging. I want some low profile wireless controllers for travel to replace my ibuffalos but was curious if the Pro line is halfway decent for analog based games like N64 or PSX.

@ferhound Audio is fine. You do not describe your problem. You should open your own thread and follow the guidance in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@kane72 Ok I have tried that, switched to 4.3 and then attempt to launch and the Pi completely disconnects form the TV at that moment. I dunno. I'm ready to give up on this. I have made two posts and a great amount of time researching the internet for solutions with little responses either informing me that most people either just don't know or don't want to del with me on this. It is evident that some things are simple and self explanatory and other issues are much more complex and probably require an advanced knowledge of tech. I'm not sure if I would give my kids one of these things but on the flipside I have enjoyed learning the other aspects of the Pi. I will probably end up starting with a fresh copy of Retropie as all this screwing around has either erased files I have uploaded or change settings that I do not know how to fix. I do really appreciate your response .

@muddyhardcore sorry to add to this a year later
i still cant get this minis icon on emulationstation

<theme>pspminis</theme>
</system>
or am i missing something do i add this to the es_systems.cfg on the sd card in my pi

thanks

I had this same issue (2 years later!) with the latest Pi Baker, but after unzipping the (retropie) image manually first, everything worked fine.

@mitu Hi ! Thanks, indeed you are right, I used lr-pcsx_rearmed, the default one, and so I read and followed the documentation you sent to me and I solved my problem.
Thanks for your help !

OK time for feedback. I have succeed to download videos and boxart only, but without game description. How did I do (please, remember that I am on Ubuntu) :

download the latest Stephen's scraper program here : https://github.com/sselph/scraper/releases and put the scraper file into the wii (or the related console) directory list item have your own videos into a folder named for example videos download boxarts on libretro project : http://thumbnailpacks.libretro.com/ and put them into a folder named for example boxart make sure that iso names are EXACTLY the same as boxart and videos names use Krenamer or any other batch rename program to rename :
-boxarts : add -imagesuffix before .png extension
-videos : add -videosuffix before .mp4 extension put all boxart and video files into the same folder named images (very important) then open a terminal and go to the rom directory cd /RetroPie/roms/wii/ and put the following command : ./scraper -add_not_found=true -download_videos=false -img_format=png -download_images=false. For your information :
-add_not_found=truemeans it adds roms that are not found as an empty gamelist entry
-download_videos=falsemeans it checks the local videos only
-img_format=pngmeans it checks the png files (because default check is jpg)
-download_images=falsemeans it checks the local images only

oh. i see

That did it. Thank you. Problem solved.

Removed everything named "ULES01372". Still got my save games.
(Did not work via SSH, becaus I was in a wrong folder. My fault.)

@wiggy808 said in [SOLVED] - Final Burn Alpha (lr-fbalpha) not playing rom sound samples file:

Is there a clrmame or other program that can check the samples files to let me know they are incorrect / incompatible?

The list of needed wav files is included in the dats i provide at https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/tree/master/dats . Clrmamepro should be able to tell you if you have all needed wav files if you setup "Sample-Paths" in Settings, then check "Samples" in the scanner, it'll only check filenames though, not crc.

Hello and welcome to this forum. Please provide us with the information requested here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

In addition, which guide did you follow exactly?

Which folders do you have on the stick?

In principle, you only have to put your snes roms into a subfolder snes in the folder roms and Retropie should recognize them. But it depends on what you did exactly and if everthing is in order.

Here's an addendum to my previous message. Today I got my Raspberry Pi and when using the latest version of RetroPi for the Raspberry then save settings in vice works fine.

@mitu I used the handy update all packages command which defaults to binary when available. So, I'm assuming that it updated lr-mGBA from binary as usual.

The current lr-mGBA version I am using is listed as 0.6.1

@polygaryd - Glad you got it sorted. It sounds like you'll be using ClrMamePro from here on out. :)

@barbudreadmon - Everyone misses their mark occasionally out here, welcome to the internet! ;) I've read many of @edmaul69 posts over the months and his hits completely outweigh his misses. Nobody's perfect, even with a perfect manual we'll explore outside the bounds. I've appreciated his help more than once reading different posts.

Unfortunately we alI read and sometimes share incorrect information, it happens. I guess sloth is not something that comes to mind. Anyway regardless Polygaryd was inspired enough and found his solution, and the correct one I might add, so it wasn't a total loss after all. :)

@spyork i have encarta running in windows 3.1 in dosbox on the pi. I believe it is the “designed for wondows 95” version

@mitu I think it's from the limited specs of the Pi Zero. I was actually really surprised that both CD based systems even worked on a Pi Zero in the first place. Somebody told me that they tried CHD files for both emulators on a Pi Zero and the Sega CD didn't perform well. Essentially a CHD File is a modified 7zip archive, so I'm not really surprised. I will eventually test it myself and update this thread when I know.
