Updating issues with RetroPie on RPi 4 issues?

George Spiggott

Yes it is charged, I get a controller showing (shown below) when the pad is attached via a cable but I can't remove it.

[CHG] Controller DC:A6:32:51:52:36 Discovering: yes

I tried the scan but it did not pick up the pad. Duplicate data is off. There's a weekly update out today I'll see if that fixes it.

I've been having the same problem with my Wii U Pro controllers. They paired and worked fine on my Pi3B but I can't connect them on my Pi4. I tried on the Feb 7th version but haven't yet on today's update. Busy at the moment clearing all my stuff off the Pi3 to place on my Pi4.

@ByteThis I have a Wii U Pro controller and it's pairing without issues with the Pi4, configuration is fine and it works in RetroArch (that's the extent of my test).
The PS3 does not have native pairing - AFAIK - and it needs to be be first connected via USB to start the pairing - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS3-Controller/#using-the-retropie-setup-gui-to-configure-the-ps3-controller-bluetooth-connection-for-sixaxis.

Thanks I will try it again when I have everything transferred over. Did you have it paired with the older versions of the weekly dev branch or the latest versions ?

I installed the first dev image released and updated normally since then - updating the OS and packages in Raspbian along the RetroPie's installed packages.

PSP games run very well.

Could you please tell me what core are you using for PSP and your configuration?
I'm tryng PSP but I cannot reach a smooth gameplay.
Thanks

I am using ppsspp, NOT lr-ppsspp with all default settings.

Using PPSSPP here on a vanilla Pi4 at 2x resolution. It depends on the game. Medieval runs fine, GTA Vice City slows down when there's a lot on screen, Little big planet ran ok even on my vanilla Pi3B (1x resolution). Even overclocked I've never got the Tomb raider games to run smoothly consistently.

Are you meaning running Tom Raider on PI3 or PI4. On PI4 it runs really good...both of them Anniversary and Legends.

George Spiggott

@WODAK on the pi4, alrhough I haven't tried overclocking rhe GPU on this build. Legend is jumpy and Anniversary slows down when the screen is busy, eg on the second level near the waterfall.

True...mine is overclocked... as for the game play....I didn't complete any level ... just tired to play a little bit moving, running around, learning how to play :)...etc...maybe for 5 minutes each...and it didn't have any hickups or anything.

@WODAK How high is your GPU overclocked?

I've got mine realy high...but it really is stable...looks like I had luck on hardware... the highest temperature I got was 53 C ....:)

over_voltage=6
hdmi_enable_4kp60=1
arm_freq=2100
gpu_freq=800

and my clock speeds:

#Not running any emulators:
core => frequency(1)=289709472
v3d:=> frequency(46)=366358880
arm => frequency(48)=2100515584

#running emulators
core => frequency(1)=549993152
v3d:=> frequency(46)=799993664
arm => frequency(48)=2100568320

so the GPU is at 550 and v3d is at 800....GPU is as 2100...and I'm running on 1080p TV ...

if you are trying to overclock...take it easy...use the bottom up method...and always CHECK your temperatures...

not to forger...setting the cpu governor to performance...but setting it in run command (so setting it on only when game runs )

George Spiggott

@WODAK My CPU is at 2000. My GPU used to be set to 600 but the new firmware has lest me a little confused as to what is currently possible. It looks like only your v3d is set higher than any setting I have previously had.

With the latest firmware you can go with GPU to 550...and V3D to as high as 850...you can set this parameters separatly as GPU and then the other parameters core_freq, h264_freq, isp_freq, and v3d_freq or all together as gpu_freq (gpu dosn't go above 500, only if u set hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 then you can go up to 550 HZ)...

I know .... a little bit confusing ...:)

You mean core frequency doesn't go above 500

@mitu Thanks. I've just tried that. No change. I have since removed and reinstalled sixaxis just to be sure it was't that. I still can't see the PS3 pad on bluetooth.

That's strange - I just picked up a PS3 controller today and paired it without issues. Are you following all the steps explained in PS3 controller doc page ?

I installed the sixaxis driver, then started the BT dialog - with the PS3 plugged in - and followed the on-screen message to pair it.

George Spiggott

@mitu Yes, that's how I have always connected my ps3 pad. I'm using ps3controller instead of sixaxis at the moment and having no issues.

Thanks.
