@118k You'll have to do a bit of effort and provide answers for the questions in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Are you using a reliable SD card ?

Thanks. I will check tonight. I think , I will just start from the beginning with Ubuntu anyway if that is more stable

I'm pretty positive that the romsets are correct with the emu version.
I've ordered a 3B+, should come in the mail tomorrow,was hoping to be able to find a use on the old rpi but i guess it's gonna be something else.

Thanks

@xadox said in Configure 2 identical controllers differently:

I will search on another solution without the use of xboxdrv.

If you find anything, please post back. I'm always interested in alternatives to these types of problems.

Right, I've heard that Linux people can bypass the Emudriver.

But still - did you try Retroarch standalone? The latest one supports 15khz natively on Linux as well.
On RaspberryPi you need to change hdmi_timings in boot/config.txt to output to a CRT - not sure, perhaps directly from Linux on a PC it's different.

cool - thanks

@jimbo will test and up swap if needed.

A bit more expensive than the Chinese ones but may have to use it. Thanks for that.

@mitu no, i did not...

I was trying to map 0 and 1 to the l2 and r2 bumpers.

I added these lines to /opt/retropie/configs/videopac/retroarch.cfg above the inclue:

input_player1_l2 = "num0"
input_player1_r2 = "num1"

and tried going into the emulator's "Quick Menu / Controls" by pressing Start + X

lr-o2em Controls Menu

and no luck.

There is just no option for anything other than direction and fire. the retroarch.cfg changes I can see in the menu, but don't actually work to select a game

@mitu Thanks! I will try it.

I have found that arcade games using lr-mame2003 have vary wildly in their audio volume. Onw example, is Xevious which is much louder than other games and some games end up being much quieter. I know I can adjust the volume under settings / audio but that isn't persistent. I know about the hotkeys for volume up/down but again, I would have to raise adjust the volume every time I play Xevious for example.

Is there a way to adjust and save an individual game's volume? I checked the mame menu for Xevious and didn't see a volume option. I guess my other option is to figure out how to install a volume knob in my cabinet so I can just adjust on the fly but that's not much different than using the hotkeys other than a quicker way to dial in the volume. It sure would be nice to just be able to save a +/- db per game and be done with it though.

@koogelpotato Are the files listed when you ssh/SFTP to the snes rom directory on the pi? If so, check if they are all the accepted file extensions. If you've confirmed the files are indeed on the USB drive, you may want to check your freespace on the pi with df -h to see if you are out of space on the SD card.

@mitu

Awesome man!!! Thanks, was that suckin show metadata only.

Thanks a lot

The Pixel desktop is actually LXDE, it's probably the new version that's different a bit from the previous one. If you wish to install Chromium, then open a terminal/command line and install it by running

sudo apt-get -y install chromium-browser

@radiusxe

The best you can hope for is to load the save state from the previous core version and work your way to an area that allows for a normal memory save. Afterwards, update the core load the save and make a new save state. I realize this wouldn't be possible for all games and it's a major hassle, but it's really the only option. It's best to only utilize save states for very casual use and at no time when it's crucial to keep them for long periods of time. Save state formats can change at any time depending on development. You might see an emulator/core keep its format throughout its lifespan, or you might see it change several times a year.

@zerojay
Ok, thank, too bad.

For what it’s worth...I ftped into my pi and downloaded the entire rom directory and Bios directory. Reflashed the card with 4.4 and uploaded the rom and bios directories. It took some time, it was easy and it worked.

Best bet, back up the entire card before you reflash so you have something to go back to.
