@jj01 said in Raspi 4 is taking too long to load & has problems in some games:

This is the image I´m using:

You're not supposed to change the user/passwordc, leave the defaults and use the pi user.

I can´t upload a picture because whatever I do it´s too big for uploading it.

You can use an image uploading site like Imgur.

But it´s really just the normal background colored screen, I can´t type anything in there.

You said it was dark grey, not colored. Either way, if you have the RetroPie info shown when you exit EmulationStation, then it means the normal prompt should also be present and available.

@ExarKunIv Ok,I'll waiting for your reply
thanks!!!

here imaeg is now my situation error.

@Lolonois thanks for that. This is exactly what I need.

Unfortunately, RetroArch 1.20.0 crashes on game loading after I reserve the dual Xinmos for ports 1 and 2. Which BTW, the mapping seemed to get very wonky and I had to disconnect all my other controllers to get the assignments to stick.

One clue is this encoder uses a unique (?) driver implementation where 2 USB controllers apparently share the same IDs.

Is this a known issue or do I need to write a bug report?

@duglor you will have to dig around on the past commits to find a working one and manually drop it onto your system.

I know I have had a issue with that system for awhile now.

@ExarKunIv said in Unofficial RPi5 RetroPie image.:

Here are working links to the 2 images that @sugarfree has made. I have not touched them in anyway so you will have to update them if you want the latest

list itemBasic Image (RetroPie v 4.8.9 - commit: 69cd744 / Feb 20, 2025) . It has only the core, main, usbromservice, and xpad driver packages installed,
similar to an official RetroPie image. The size of the zipped image is 1.1Gb and 16Gb unzipped.

list itemPlus image (RetroPie v 4.8.9 - commit: 69cd744 / Feb 20, 2025) . it includes the packages from Basic, plus: Vulkan enabled (experimental), retropie-extra repo, PPSSPP - Vulkan shortcut in the runcommand menu, Dolphin with Gui shortcuts for GameCube and Wii in the runcommand menu (dolphin-editor), lr-beetle-saturn, lr-flycast-dev, Kodi, AetherSX2. The size of the zipped is 2.1 Gb and 16Gb unzipped.

Enjoy

@mitu is it ok to have links to a certain archive site to host these images. or is it preferred to stay away from them

Thank you <3

@DTEAM

These 3 also popped up :
tcfball
tcfballa
vclock3

I think the tcfball's could be added too.

Will run a new script to see if the manufacturer of drdunk ( Kmart Corporation) has more drivers.

Edit :
These 2 could be added too I think :
dunksunk
t3in1sa

@Lolonois thanks, not sure how to ensure it delivers a constant voltage while writing... however I'm not planning to waste any more time on this matter.
The cards in question is a sandisk 512gb ordered from amazon that i had for years and worked fine in my switch. I got the write error in my arcade and i thought the card was done, so i ordered a new one form Amazon. That card didn't work either... Amazon was good enough to send a second card for free and that one also failed.
Who knows, maybe a voltage issue makes sense, but there's no indication of undervoltage on the machine itself.

@WonderNomad said in The screen displays the game menu, the game doesn't progress.:

RetroPie Version: 4.10

There's no such version - which image did you use to install the system ?

Problem: When I try to launch "Super Mario Bros." on NES, the emulator starts but the game freezes immediately.

Does this happen for every NES game ? Which emulator are you using (it's printed in the Runcommand menu before the game starts) ? Which buttons are you using and what kind of controller do you have ?

@rasp_renegade said in Stuck on Spalshscreen after updating pi v4:

It was just the splashscreen thank goodness

Not really sure what it means - does it work if you disable the splashscreen ? What's the output from the command I posted - that may help understand why the splashscreen is stuck.

Here's a Nintendo DS XL Bezel

Not much luck with LR-PUAE. I've tried all the settings that I can think of but Gloom Deluxe runs slower than it does on Amiberry. The later 3D games may just be beyond the capabilities of the Zero2 at the moment.

@gmarler said in Black Screen When Starting ColecoVision Game Under lr-bluesmx:

Not sure how things got into this state, as the core_options_path simply disappeared from the /opt/retropie/configs/coleco/retroarch.cfg file when I updated to the latest RetroPie through retropie-setup as of 2025-04-07.

In a default RetroPie installation, that config file shouldn't contain much and core_options_path is only set by RetroPie in the global /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg. Any core option overrides (per-folder/game) will be saved elsewhere.

@mitu Thanks for confirming that.

In the meantime, I was able to determine that my HDMI monitor also has a 3.5 mm jack that I never noticed before, so I can plug my headphones into that instead.

1.20 had some regressions which were fixed after the release. I was hoping they'd release a 1.20.1 to repair it, but that didn't happen. There's no other reason why 1.20 is not in RetroPie at the moment, I'm just waiting for a new release (with less regressions) to package it for RetroPie.

Very special case. But you can save the import part. However, some manual steps are required:

Copy the pq1-amiga.svm to the ~/RetroPie/roms/amiga/ folder.

Find the Amiga video (I guess you already did that).

e.g, https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=34415&action=onglet&zone=gameinfosmedias

Navigate to the ROM/ISOs latch and pick a checksum and use it in the query parameter.

Run Skyscraper -p amiga -d /tmp --flags videos -s screenscraper --query="md5=2c4827513db0e45eed77d20d290fa17d" ~/RetroPie/roms/amiga/pq1-amiga.svm.

Find the video for "Police Quest" from screenscraper in the scummvm Skyscraper DB file, usually ~/.skyscraper/cache/scummvm/db.xml (type="video" source="screenscraper" with the matching resource id for Policy Quest). Note the resource id.

Copy the amiga video into the scummvm cache, e.g.:

cp /tmp/videos/screenscraper/494148112002ee474500cc10cbd212b1dedc5bd0.mp4 ~/.skyscraper/cache/scummvm/videos/<just-noted-resource-id>.mp4

It could be that the resource id is identical between Amiga and ScummVM, as the Skyscraper resource id is calculated from the filename and not from the file content for *.svm files. I did not verify this, but I assume it will be the case.

Added a few new things for people to enjoy

- lr-bennugd - BennuGD as a libretro core - lr-dice - DICE core for libretro - gsplus - Apple IIgs emulator

im still going through and seeing what i can fix with my old stuff before i mess with anything new. but i do have some thing in line i want to see if i can get working
