@mitu ok thanks

@Jiryn either way, you should probably seek help in the topic dedicated to mame current i previously linked.

@mitu

You said it was dark grey, not colored.

No, I ment it has the same color as the background, it is dark grey.

Either way, if you have the RetroPie info shown when you exit EmulationStation, then it means the normal prompt should also be present and available.

If I exit EmulationStation it's just this screen, no cursor, it seems to me that it is loading, but just nothing happens then, even after 5 minutes.

@DTEAM

Searched for the other one and found this :

Looked in the mame database and it seems it's not part of mame.

@Lolonois thanks, not sure how to ensure it delivers a constant voltage while writing... however I'm not planning to waste any more time on this matter.
The cards in question is a sandisk 512gb ordered from amazon that i had for years and worked fine in my switch. I got the write error in my arcade and i thought the card was done, so i ordered a new one form Amazon. That card didn't work either... Amazon was good enough to send a second card for free and that one also failed.
Who knows, maybe a voltage issue makes sense, but there's no indication of undervoltage on the machine itself.

@mitu Thank you, that helped.

Not much luck with LR-PUAE. I've tried all the settings that I can think of but Gloom Deluxe runs slower than it does on Amiberry. The later 3D games may just be beyond the capabilities of the Zero2 at the moment.

@Chuckgofer Thanks for the confirmation.

@mitu Oh ok i thought retropie did my bad unless i am thinking of Retroarch but thanks for the clarification. Users can stick with the menu snapshot then.

@ExarKunIv said in Unofficial RPi5 RetroPie image.:

Here are working links to the 2 images that @sugarfree has made. I have not touched them in anyway so you will have to update them if you want the latest

list itemBasic Image (RetroPie v 4.8.9 - commit: 69cd744 / Feb 20, 2025) . It has only the core, main, usbromservice, and xpad driver packages installed,
similar to an official RetroPie image. The size of the zipped image is 1.1Gb and 16Gb unzipped.

Basic image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jbBKRXxpcc2RpyPnMtU-NBi_ob5SqUGR/view?usp=drive_link

list itemPlus image (RetroPie v 4.8.9 - commit: 69cd744 / Feb 20, 2025) . it includes the packages from Basic, plus: Vulkan enabled (experimental), retropie-extra repo, PPSSPP - Vulkan shortcut in the runcommand menu, Dolphin with Gui shortcuts for GameCube and Wii in the runcommand menu (dolphin-editor), lr-beetle-saturn, lr-flycast-dev, Kodi, AetherSX2. The size of the zipped is 2.1 Gb and 16Gb unzipped.

Enjoy

@mitu is it ok to have links to a certain archive site to host these images. or is it preferred to stay away from them

Thank you <3

@barbudreadmon oh ok I didn't realize they all should be uncompressed, I will try uncompressing them.

I will try the dmesg command and see what it shows, thanks

@Jiryn said in Manual Installation Broken at GitHub level:

Started over from the first command.

OK, so it worked now - what is different from the 1st attempt ?

@rhester72 said in joy2key_sdl.py doesn't support my controller:

To make RA happy, I had to hand-configure the controller in Retroarch (GUI) itself and save from there, which produced the "not-normalized" device name in the configuration file.
[..]

OK, so the other possibility of a device name mismatch is the configuration being created outside of EmulationStation's scripts - in this case via RetroArch itself. In any case, this kind of setups will hopefully be better supported by joy2key in the future.

You're welcome. No worries about any typos, my mother tongue is also not English. But I guess with this setup we get along. If I cannot make any sense of a automatically translated sentence I will ask you again anyway.Also if you translate anything from my statements which does not make sense, I am happy to rephrase it.

That said, as Mitu checked already the config.txt file and it looks correct to me. Let's check if you have the file gpio-joystick.dtbo.

Excecute the next command on the Pi and provide the output here please:

find /boot/ -type f -iname "gpio-joystick.dtbo"

@old_arcade_dude thanks for the update. As it also can happen with this Redmond software it further thickens the plot that the tankstick firmware does not implement the USB spec by the letter.

@martinrdgz before you dump your setup you may check these:

Run wpa_supplicant manually with -d : https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/103442

Maybe line ending in the wpa_supplicant.conf may be the cause (Mac -> Linux):

And I noticed a space in the `psk="<space>...", is put there deliberately?

@sleve_mcdichael
Thank you!
That's what I was wondering, if Subfolders would be recognized.

Wondering if I should do that with like MAME/FBNeo though the select button does help scroll through games fast.

Here's a Nintendo DS XL Bezel

I've been on this forum since summer 2019, and you've managed to consistently pump out quality content to benefit the entire community. I sometimes see youtube videos using your bezels (oftentimes even without a credit, because they're undoubtedly using some dubious image) and immediately recognize them.

The forum says I can only upvote a user 6 times per day, so I'm writing this post to extend a very sincere thank you to you, @Orionsangel!

@dewiele said in Game and Watch ‘Game B’ button mapping:

I tried MAME standalone originally and got the game and watch ROMs running however by default the TAB menu was inaccessible as the PSPi controller mappings were not set up.

You should use a keyboard first.
I you somehow use the standard runcommand :
mame = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame %BASENAME%"
and it still doesn't work with the keyboard then you could try to add "-ui_active" to the runcommand.
