I try to reinstall RetroPie to a new sd card but something is failing, that wasn't happen before. Maybe a new Pi OS update break something?

Log File

i follow the following commands and it was possible to correct the issue with the libc-bin package:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc-bin.*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libc-bin

I am testing the latest Dolphin standalone. It doesn't run the games (.rvz), It's going back to ES. I had the same issue with the first version of dolphin-rpi5 script.

@abj what was your runcommand.log that shows what the command it attempted to run? Also I think it's included in RetroPie but did you install matchbox window manager? That could be it.

Been testing GameCube again today, holy crap how did nobody ever tell me how good Kirby's Air Ride is!

abj

@retropieuser555 The log i post above was the runcommand.log after the emulator didn't boot a game.
The only thing i did, it was to install the latest dolphin script. Did i had to do any extra steps? Thanks

mitu

@abj The error you have is because you're missing the gldriver-test package.

abj

@mitu Thanks, i will try to install this package in a few hours and i will report back.

retropieuser555

Just a side question using XINIT-WM, is there an advance to using matchbox manager rather than something like ratpoison?

I've edited run command to this here:-

```

if [[ "$XINIT_WM" -gt 0 ]]; then
local params=()
[[ "$XINIT_WM" -eq 1 ]] && params+=(-use_cursor no)
[[ "$XINIT_WM" -eq 2 ]] && params+=(-use_cursor yes)
cat >>"$xinitrc" <<EOF
ratpoison &
sleep 0.5
xset -dpms s off s noblank
EOF


I've found doing this gets rid of the window title and border, and in doing so runs Dolphin & AetherSX2 fullscreen consistently

Having an issue with Mario Kart Double Dash using lr-dolphin on the Pi 5. Getting that blue screen overlay during the race that has been reported on the stand alone version of Dolphin and it looks like the fix was to switch from the Vulkan to OpenGL renderer, but that doesn't seem to be an option on the lr-dolphin version. Is there a fix for this or am I just missing something obvious?

retropieuser555

@TPR not yet no. It's discussed here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35172/mkdd-tint-issue-rpi5/10

Perfect. Thank you. I'll keep an eye on that. Not sure why that topic didn't come up when I searched.

Ok, i install the package and now the emulator is working fine (maybe we must add this package in the script), many thanks!!. But i have issue with the gamepad, it doesn't work, only the keyboard is working. With other emulators i don't have issue.

retropieuser555

@abj you need to either use the Dolphin GUI with a mouse and setup your controller or edit /home/pi/.Dolphin-emu/Config/GCPadNew.ini to change the controls for your controller.

Also the Hotkey to exit Dolphin is in Hotkey.ini mine is setup like this:-

General/Exit = evdev/0/8BitDo Pro 2:SELECT & evdev/0/8BitDo Pro 2:START

You can use the GUI to edit that as well.

Not sure I'd be able to get my head around it but I thought there's some auto mapping function now? Maybe I'm mistaken. Or we could do a similar script to mupen64plus where it maps your controller when launching

abj

@retropieuser555 I never saw the GUI, only a board flash for few seconds and the game starts. I will try with the keyboard, thanks for the hint!

retropieuser555

@abj to get just the GUI for editing without a rom, add this line into the emulators.cfg and choose it when launching runcommand

dolphin-editor = "XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu"

abj

@retropieuser555 You solved the mystery !! Now i have access to the gui and i can change all the parameters! Thank you very much.

@zaphod24

Any additional thoughts here? With only 1 controller attached it is recognized about 50% of the time I boot up. The second controller was recognized maybe one boot out of 200+

Darksavior

@zaphod24 You'll have to reproduce the problem on the bookworm desktop and ask the devs on the raspberry pi forum. I haven't tested, though I don't think it's a RetroPie problem.

zaphod24

@Darksavior I'm unsure why the desktop version would make any difference compared to the lite version. I made a post in the troubleshooting pi forum but there doesn't seem to be much interest in it

https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2195483#p2195483

Unsurprisingly, the same issue exists with Android 14 on the rpi5 as well.

Darksavior

@zaphod24 It won't, but the only time that I needed help from pi devs, they refused to reproduce it on the RetroPie image.

zaphod24

@Darksavior I used the raspbian lite image and then manually installed RetroPie. Sadly there haven't been any other replies so I would advise anyone that wants to replace their pi4 with a pi5 to get better performance with N64 emulation etc. hold off if they play any games locally 2 player.
