4.0-rc2 images are available for testing.

@BuZz thanks for the quick reply!!
2- bingo, it was due to the CEC adaptor settings! Feel sheepish after realising that it was a kodi rather than retropie issue and seeing similar mentions in kodi forums, so really thanks a lot for answering anyway!
All as good as it has ever been on my pi now with 4rc1 :)

There are some glitches with the PS4 controller in RC1. The hotkeys don't work anymore after updating it. I checked the config files and they are like how I configurated them.
-
Nothing has changed in RetroPie regarding PS4 controllers. Are you using ds4drv or were you using the kernel driver (assuming it works out of the box with the kernel). The only thing that may have changed is the Kernel version in the image (which we do not maintain - it is Raspbian Lite with RetroPie installed on top).
You could try installed ds4drv if you haven't already - https://github.com/chrippa/ds4drv
-
Only thing I would note is that the lr-handy binary core that's included is a bit out of date. Specifically, it isn't able to load headerless roms (which includes the entire "no-intro" set).
A rebuild from source grabs the latest lr-handy code, and things work fine after that. I'm not sure who builds/maintains those official binaries, but this would be one less thing for newbies to struggle through.
-
the lr-handy binary was rebuilt on the 20th July - so it should have those changes and they should be included in the image.

Looks like I installed 4.0 on the 19th of July, soooooo you got me. :)

Hi,
I've been testing 4.0 RC1 and came across a weird situation where I could not get my retropie controller configurations to update/save. It seemed to affect my ability to save Retroarch from within several different emulators that I tested too. After a while I started poking around the file system and noticed that "/opt/retropie/configs/all" was owned by root:root, while the rest of /opt/retropie/configs/* was owned by pi:pi.
After chowning /opt/retropie/configs/all and it's subfiles/folders to pi:pi it looks like my retroarch config changes are now being saved normally from within RGUI.
Is there a bug somewhere which could cause this directory to become incorrectly chowned? I had done some some updates via the setup script, etc.
-
I recall perhaps an old bug, but I don't know of any currently. there were some bugs with config ownership with files in there, but the folder is chowned on launch of retropie-setup currently so it should be ok. There shouldn't be any code that would chown it incorrectly - but there may have been an earlier case where it was created incorrectly.
-
@BuZz
Thanks for the response. My install is new (2 days old), based on the posted RC1 image. I'm confident I haven't executed any chown commands manually, (meaning: I'm sure it wasn't end user generated ;) ). If I notice the issue reoccur, I'll try and note what across or options i executed. The only stuff I'd done was via the setup script previously, including a script update and a packages update (both raspian and RetroPie). I could enable some auditing via auditd or shell history/trap profile.d scripting and try and capture how it occurred if it crops up again.Cheers
-
Did you launch retropie-setup script manually at all ? eg from a root shell. If it was run from root account rather than via sudo it could mess with the permissions for example. I should put some protection in against this perhaps.
Can't see anything in the code that would cause it currently (had a quick grep). But it's possible there is a bug somewhere (there are always bugs!) :)

Hello.
I had trouble installing my garsia controller. I searched a bit and found the error on the line 69 in ps3controlle.sh. I left the line 69 + 75 commented and then I was able to install it. I think that after installing the drive ps3 the file "sixad" was created or already existed.

Hi @BuZz,
No, I didn't su to root and run it from there, only via sudo. Probably a good idea to add some [ id -u != pi ] test as you mentioned. Anyway. I'll definitely keep an eye out and help isolate it if I can.
EDIT. I just checked, /opt/retropie/config/all is owned by root again!.

Strikes again!

@felixrising what have you run since?
-
Aah autoconf. Hmm I'll check. Please can you update RetroPie-Setup and all packages first though.
-
Will do.

I'm having trouble with the new setup scrip and PS3 clones. It seems the setup script installs the genuine version. When you go back to configure clone support, the screen flashes quickly but nothing really happens. My clones don't work with 4.0-rc1 but do work with 3.8.1. Also, removing the driver seems to hang. -
First post updated to 4.0-rc2
