@Scraperdude cool. One more thing: Please edit the subject of the very first post of this thread and add [solved] or similar. Thanks & happy scraping!

@retropieuser555 said in MKDD Tint Issue RPI5:

@TPR if you're unsure and have a copy of tales of Symphonia you can test it by setting the m3u to go disc 2 then disc 1, as the game behaviour on a real GameCube is it tells you to swap discs and waits for the user to swap, then carries on from disc 1

Looking into this more...

If I have the .m3u file with the disc 2 being loaded first, it auto swaps the disc when loading the .m3u file from emulationstation.

If I load the disc 2 .rvz file on it's own from emulationstation I get this:

But the .m3u file doesn't update the controller setting in the game id file.

I see in your script there is a check for the .m3u file but is there a certain way I need the m3u file created or named so that it works with the script and updates the game id file with the current controller I have connected?

is a desktop session nessecery?

On a PC, yes. Please use a desktop environment and start EmulationStation from the desktop shortcut added by the installer (rpie.desktop).

Here's a SwanCrystal bezel for Retroarch

@jthomas5150 said in Issue with Splash Screens Slideshow Exit Behavior:

So the issue appears even before the splashscren upgrade, which introduces vlc for splashscreens ? I'm confused, since you initially said it didn't happen before the updates added to the splashscreen module.

Apologies if I confused you. Everything worked fine until I ran the update script causing the VLC player to be subsequently installed.

This might work, add this line into /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

mupen64plus-next-cpucore = "cached_interpreter"

@Lolonois yeah, i added it to emulationstation, it works fine from there, as long as all the files are in /home/pi/.raine it works first thing, it even downloaded the roms when i started a game before i pointed it to my arcade dir.

@retropieuser555
Good to know. Is there any serious difference between Pi 3 and 4? It might be nice to potentially play the Minecraft Port, and you can't use a Pi 4 for that.

@sugarfree said in Dolphin Multi-Disc Question:

Yes, the emulator will automatically load the next disc. I have confirmed this with Resident Evil 1 and Zero, which I have completed.

Awesome. Thank you!

@Arrafart https://gemba.github.io/skyscraper/CONFIGINI/#index-of-options-with-applicable-sections. There especially the video* options and maybe addExtenstions. However, before using addExtensions review the peas.json (/home/pi/.skyscraper/peas.json - or when accessing from Windoge Explorer \\retropie\configs\all\skyscraper) file which formats (=extensions) are used by Skyscraper out-of-the-box for your platforms/systems. Also, remember to update the platform's gamelist and media after scraping/downloading the data into the cache (leave out the -s option, i.e. run Skyscraper -p psx)

Can you give an example of a .a52 ROM that you found is correct and doesn't boot in lr-atari800 ? Please provide the name and the checsum of the file.

@korn16ftl3 said in linux novice needing a bit of help:

how do i install the .deb file? i know retropie is written on a heavily modified debian kernal so this should be able to be adapted to work how id like it to. what i do not know is the commands to type to have retropie obtain the .deb file and install it.

RetroPie is not 'written on a heavily modified deboan kernal'. It's just a collection of scripts installed on-top of an existing Linux operating system (Debian or similar distro). A .deb file is a Debian package which can be installed using dpkg - see https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/dpkg.1.html.

and second....im assuming that the GPIO pinout for a pi4 is the same for a standard pi3?

Yes.

@DTEAM you can just download it off RPCS3 official website, that's all I did. No need to worry about scripts. Although I did run it in the desktop environment, I didn't bother to see if it ran in the framebuffer or needed a window manager etc

@retropieuser555 This fixed my issue too sweet!

@vorvy
Do you have any update on this? I am currently trying to make the same controller work, but I am not having much luck.
