Migrating from pi3 to pi4 mame2003plus not working

@ogroto Your issue seems related to the video driver chosen for this particular system.

[INFO] [Font]: Using font rendering backend: stb-unicode.
[INFO] [Video]: Graphics driver did not initialize an input driver. Attempting to pick a suitable driver.

Do you have a custom retroarch.cfg for the mame-libretro system ?
Reset it to RetroPie's defaults by removing/renaming /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg and then re-installing lr-mame2003 .

Try again after re-installation to start a Mame2003 game.

@mitu Thank you for your answer, as far as i remember i didn't edit that file. I only edited the emulators order in ES which is es_systems.cfg i believe.
I did what you mentioned above and after deleting and reinstalling, it is still the same.

New log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JdyV5vPR5g/

I'm using gpio arcade buttons, and xbox360 wireless. I have downloaded some launching images from the experimental packages, retropie-bgm-player , skyscraper, installed a modified openbor to show on ES and eazytools and well that's almost everything.
I had to unplug the pi some few times, one being dkong on mame2010 launching but it completely hangs to the point of no f4 or reboot available. This also happened in my rpi3A previous build.
Maybe this screwed some files? this indeed happened some times to me in the past, but to the point of no booting at all. Thank you for your time.

Can you post the contents of the main RetroArch configuration file, from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg ?

Looks ok. Are you sure you removed the retroarch.cfg from the mame-libretro config folder before re-install Mame2003 ? Can you post the content of that .cfg file ?

Ogroto

@mitu Yes, i removed the cfg file from winscp, removed mame2003 and 2003plus from the retropie-setup, reinstalled them, and rebooted. Maybe i need to reboot before reinstalling them?

Here is retroarch.cfg now https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VNspyHbfTB/

This happens with old core overrides from the previous install. Make sure you delete any you have.

No, no reboot is necessary. The config file look stock, but for some reason it's giving an error. Are you running EmulationStation from the desktop environment by any chance ?

Ogroto

@mitu uhm i dont think so, i downloaded the latest retropiebuster img from retropie.org.uk and burned to my 32g sd card

Ogroto

@buzz Oh that might be my case, i used a lot of core overrides saves for inputs and shaders, could you point me what files or lines should i delete? inputs and shaders? Thank you

mitu

[INFO] [Overrides] core-specific overrides found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/MAME 2003 (0.78)/MAME 2003 (0.78).cfg.

Try renaming this file.

Ogroto

@mitu Yes sir! i renamed this and the MAME 2003-Plus cfg and both are working now. You rock guys! i wish you all the best. Thank you so much.

Good day everyone, sorry for reviving this old post. I have now built a bartop and tried to go fullscreen 16:9 (small lcd screen 19')
Every emulator i configure with retropie setup changes from old 4:3 to 16:9, except FinalBurn Neo

This is my opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg

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

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/fba/"

aspect_ratio_index = "1"
video_smooth = "true"
video_shader_enable = "true"
video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/zfast_crt_standard.glslp"
#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

They all look the same. But this one emulator does not work and stays 4:3
Any help is much appreciated

Found it, it is the first line in FinalBurn Neo.cfg aspect_ratio_index = "1"

@ogroto You should start a new post for this new issue.
