FBneo mame games at the top left corner of the screen

@dankcushions - For the image, I am not 100% sure which one I used; I created the system a few months ago with whatever image was available for download from retropie.org at that time. It would have been the image available around July 2020. I don't know if that is the current image available to download today.

As for the verbose log file, I'm not enough of a techie to know how to do that immediately. I wasn't getting any error messages so I wasn't sure it was relevant. I'll look up the instructions and post it soon.

@DavidDraper an official image is a good start! so that all seems fine. instructions for verbose log are on https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - i'll keep an eye on this thread. good luck!

DavidDraper

@dankcushions - thanks. I saved the log file at PasteBin. Here is the link:

FWIW, I am using a RetroFlag SNES style USB controller as well.

[INFO] [Overrides] core-specific overrides found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/FinalBurn Neo/FinalBurn Neo.cfg.

can you please upload this file also?

[INFO] [GL]: Using resolution 3840x2160

incidentally, you're running at 4k which, by default, will force 30hz, and bad performance with many emulators/emulationstation. you should change to a 1080p mode via raspi-config.

DavidDraper

@dankcushions would it be useful to post the verbose log of the same game using lr-mame2015?

@dankcushions ok- weird.

I am using WINScp via SSH to access my retropie. I don't have anything besides emulation station running right now. When I go to /home/pi, all I see there is:

..
/RetroPie
/RetroPie-Setup
shutdown -P

I don't see a .config director to navigate to. Any suggestions on where or how I can access .config?

I'll track down 1080 mode in raspi-config.

Thanks again!

FinalBurnNeo.cfg file:

(I used the find file function in WINScp. still not sure how to actually navigate to

/home/pi/.config/

thanks!

@DavidDraper
The . in /.config/ makes it a hidden folder. You would need to enable to option to 'show hidden files and folders' in your operating system to see them.

I'm not familiar with WinSCP, but from a normal SSH terminal you could use the cd command to change directory. Such as cd /home/pi/.config/

Since WinSCP appears to be a GUI interface, probably enabling the 'view hidden files and folders' would help you there as well.

@DavidDraper i would certainly consider deleting that /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/FinalBurn Neo/FinalBurn Neo.cfg file and start overriding FBNeo config from scratch.
Some settings in there don't seem to make sense tbh, why did you enable runahead second instance for FBNeo ? Everything should work fine with single instance runahead, and if you find a single game where it doesn't, please report it.

DavidDraper

@barbudreadmon Thanks; I'll try deleting FinalBurn Neo.cfg and see if that does it.

As for the second runahead- I am sure I didn't do that intentionally. As you can tell I'm not a techie and I don't edit files by hand unless I am following a tutorial. I am sure I never touched this file. I have run the update program a few times over the past few months and maybe that did something? Or something else I did changed the text in the file as a result? Not sure right now.

@YFZdude Thanks YFZ. Leaning my way through this one mistake/question at a time. ;-)
