Unable to launch any TurboGrafx-16 roms

@Con_fused what format are your ROMs? Can you run a game with verbose logging turned on then post the log located at /dev/shm/runcommand.log

Con_fused

@quicksilver Roms are in .pce. He's what I got from the command.log (Dunno if I did it right tbh lol)

Parameters:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/Ir-beetle-pce-fast/mednafen_pce_fast_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/pcengine/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pcengine/Blazing Lazers (USA).pce" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
unhandled setting F: pce_fast.mouse_sensitivity

@Con_fused When starting the game, use the Runcommand launch menu to toggle verbose logging in /dev/shm/runcommand.log. Post the file on pastebin.com, since it will be quite large.

@mitu OK thanks! I think I got it this time. https://pastebin.com/L0DT79Ei

@Con_fused There's not error from the emulator, but I think you might have a bad ROM (at least for Blazing Lazers). Are you able to run the game in another emulator/system with this ROM ?

Con_fused

@mitu Yup ROM seems to load just fine on retroarch on my PC, I'm using the beetle pce fast core.

I can't seem to reproduce this on my end. I'm using a verified (no-intro) .pce file, with these checksums:

$ md5sum Blazing\ Lazers\ \(USA\).pce
> 3c2f85fc7898de73a7c789033d22b8f5  Blazing Lazers (USA).pce
$ crc32 Blazing\ Lazers\ \(USA\).pce
b4a1b0f6

The game loads fine with both cores (lr-beetle-pce-fast or lr-beetle-supergrafx).

Can you try to re-copy the pcengine ROMs to your Pi system ?

Con_fused

@mitu Gave it a shot, no dice. It feels like the ROMs are loading in but just not displaying video, since I'm still able to use select and start to exit.

mitu

I wonder if you're not getting the same issue as https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26955. Did you reset your RetroArch's configuration for this system (pcengine) ? Can you try resetting the configuration file for it ? The retroarch.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/pcengine should be contain just

# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/pcengine/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

@mitu That didn't seem to work unfortunately. BUT after getting another batch of ROMs I was able to get them working! Not sure what was happening with the other ROMs since they worked on my PC but these ones seem to work fine. Hopefully I don't have any further issues.

Thank you for the help!
