Ok, I noticed that the Retroarch setup screen was the blue menu (older version?) vs the green checkered menu so I was really worried about some sort of weird corruption so I restored the image from a backup and all is now well again.

Friendly reminder of the importance of good backups! :-)

Incidentally, does anyone know know what the difference is between the blue menu and the green checkered menu in Retroarch? Is the blue version an older version?

Hi @mediamogul @herb_fargus @wmodes ! Since I've had so much help from everyone on this site getting my own Pie setup, I wanted to go ahead and share my zmachine gamelist along with scraped data that's mostly complete as far as I know.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/uww54ob9zq3aa12/zmachine_gamelist_v01.zip

Obviously goes without saying this doesn't include the actual roms, but if you have your own should be fairly easy to get stuff in the right place. Let me know if anyone has thoughts on improvements. Thought about videos for example, but seems like overkill given that it's a text based game ;)

Long update, but I resolved this issue using the Mayflash Wireless Sensor Bar (https://www.amazon.ca/Mayflash-W010-Wireless-Sensor-DolphinBar/dp/B00HZWEB74/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1525130286&sr=1-3&keywords=mayflash+wii), which circumvents the pesky control configurations.

Thanks, everybody!

@revtommy Dump question? Is the write protection switch disabled? It is not uncommon that if you insert the SD card the write protection switch can be enabeld by accident.

Anyway: you can run sudo raspi-config and it should work to expand file system ;)

@dudleydes Thanks for digging this ;) Maybe someone can update the wikipedia, too with the outfindings.

@mediamogul Good idea on the directory thing. I may try that. From the sound of it online BlueMSX (which is libretro compatible) plays some of the carts. So maybe I'll try that first, and then switch over to Coolcv for other specific games that wont play.

100% agree that a pretty interface doesn't mean anything if the game runs like poo. It's just I've got so many of other systems running smoothly with overlays and fancy doodad's that the ones that don't drive me crazy in the back of my head. :)

@reeebs said in [Rpi3] NDS touchscreen:

I don’t expect nothing in particular, as the two positions - the real one of my finger and the one of the pointer - are completely wrong: if I move, it moves too, but when I am in a corner it starts from the center and so on

That's very telling behavior and explains why the Dolphinbar wasn't recognized. The touchscreen is apparently being read in this case as a standard relative coordinates mouse. If it were being read as an absolute coordinates pointer device, the cursor would snap to wherever it was you touched at. Needless to say, this limitation combined with the wide area required to receive input really hinders precision.

Hmm ok thanks.
After fiddling with it a while, I was able to get a good controller mapping in stand-alone vice.

@bmills33179 Just like links to ROM sites are not allowed in the forum, please don't post links to pirate add-ons for Kodi.

I'm using a Pac-Drive from Ultimarc for my LED buttons. @savetheclocktowr made a controller software for some nice sequencing effects. It's not needed for permanent lighting, the Pac-Drive will do that out-of-the-box in Retropie.

@herb_fargus Thank you. I will google that and see if it will do the trick. Update: That seems to have done the trick. On to the next stage.

@fluffymastodons said in Some Games do not accept control input (MAME 2003):

the ones that don't, like tapper, don't do anything at all.

Is it just Midway games you're having trouble with? 'Tapper' is a Midway MCR title and none of them have worked since MAME 0.78 was originally adapted into being a RetroArch core. You're in luck though, as after several years of this being the case, the issues have been resolved just this past month. However, you'll still need to wait for the updates to make their way to RetroPie.

I've had no luck in getting this to work. I think I'm going to go back to the stable system before I tried to get FBA and arcade cheevos working. It's a shame such a small edit can cause such a huge impact. I know my case is special, but there has to be a better fix.

@bjs322 See the documentation on how to switch modes - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#switching-modes.

Welp, I'm an idiot. I can easily customize them in the retroarch menu and save them there, just like the docs say. Mods, feel free to delete this if you feel the need.

I was interested on Milhouse build because it's best way to play 10-bit x265 videos on raspberry pi 3.
I installed it on a new sd card but they don't smooth enough, so i think I'll give up on trying playing 10-bit x265 videos
