For me it works great in RetroPie. Thank you all of you!

@sugarfree aha! That's a great shout!

Sorry for the delay in replying - been a busy week and just had time to try.

In this time, the Pi has crashed once or twice, so the original desire to save progress is now a lost cause. However, I'm hoping I can copy the contents of the USB off onto another, so I can keep srm and roms at least.

I have a feeling that this may be a combo of:

A failing USB drive. A permissions problem.

With the second one, I did all setup via ssh, including downloading roms. It worked without issues for ages, but I'm wondering if somehow there's ended up being a conflict where the ssh user can't see the contents of the drive, but the user for retropie can.

It may be in reality the same user...! 🙈 I use Linux a bit for web work, but I'm not great at all the stuff for using it as an actual computer.

The other thing that makes me think it could be permissions/access is I have been trying to get a Dualshock 4 controller to connect via Bluetooth. If I ssh into the Pi and run the retropie_setup script as per the guidance, it can connect to the controller, but not do anything in Emulation Station. Running it with ds4drv doesn't work either.

Then I tried to do the same from the Emulation Station front end (Retropie > Retropie Setup) and it worked flawlessly. I can control everything with the Dualshock 4 without any further setup.

So I've tried to access the USB stick via Emulation Station frontend too. Retropie > File Manager. They're all there!

Then on to point 1 above - after around 5 minutes in the file manager I started getting error messages. Have taken a couple of photos of them, as I wasn't able to copy any output. Lots of blocks failed. Lots of references to error - 71.

I'm using an official Raspberry Pi 5 power supply and only have the USB stick and Bluetooth running, so I don't think there's any power issues going on.

Thank you again for your help and advice here!

Info from the Moonlight-qt discord support

Well moonlight depends on sdl2 and upgrading that might mess with the gamecontrollerdb.txt in retropie if it's not the default? Moonlight itself just loads it from its own ~/.cache, so restoring the db file after installing moonlight might fix your emulators and if moonlight is having button issues, putting the working one in moonlights cache may even fix those.

@RobidyBobidy so in that image, you're on colecovision with the main menu open.

From that position, close the main menu, press left or right a few times and circle through the console names, SNES, mega drive etc etc until you come to RetroPie

Retropie-setup is inside there

What is the command line to check gl mesa version ?
Since few days some of my wine games are lagging in fullscreen, seems like framerate is limited to 20 fps.

@retropieuser555 and yes i confirm disc index does not display/is empty

Some update about this twin-stick feature, it has been added to Forgotten World (CPS1) last year and to Eco Fighters (CPS2) yesterday. Now every rotary games in FBNeo should have this support.

Special thanks to pjft and dink for their work on this.

@vortix2950 said in Steamlink can't connect to remote PC:

i dont know what to do. if there is anything you need me to provide, let me know. Thank you so much.

Please add the rest of the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Are you running RetroPie or just regular RaspiOS ?

@mitu OK. My RPi doesn't have Wifi, the display works. Maybe someone else will have an idea..
Thanks for your help, best regards.

@mitu thank you i compiled it from master

@Diego said in Bluetooth controllers order:

I think I fall a bit short to answer your question but I think I can provide some more information that you may find useful. [...]

Unfortunately the alias you added is not used for re-ordering of the controllers in emulators. I'm not sure if you can force a re-connection based on the MAC (which I assume is how the alias is associated with the controller), but that may be worth investigating - forcing a re-connect of the controller(s) just to influence the detection order and simulate an 'orderly' pairing.

@janderclander14 if I can get it to work. Then no problem

Made some good progress. I wen for the standard Pi Zero 2W image in the end. I have the following systems running with just a few minor problems to solve.

Arcade/FB Neo: Temporary set, I have yet to settle on a full current romset. What's there works well. Amiga/Amiberry: Oddly the the installed version is 3.3, this is pretty old now, is there a newer version avaialable? Current version is 7.0 iirc. Atari 2600: All running well. C64/Vice: Doesn't seem to accept controller input, something to figure out. Megadrive/Mega CD: All running well. PC Engine: All running well. Playstation: Works better than I expected, PCSX ReARMed has clearly had some updates since I used it last. CTR has been fixed. Having a bit of trouble getting Retroarch to set 16:9 as the aspect ratio for the couple of PS1 games that support it. (CTR widescreen mod and Worms World Party/ Armageddon). SNES: All running well but I have yet to test any of the 'Mode 7' games. ZX Spectrum: All running well.

I have an overclock of 1350Mhz (Overvoltage 6) which is running steady. I have seen that 1400Mhz (Overvoltage 8) is possible. I may experiemnt with that later down the line.

Also this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19734/enable-disable-wifi-with-rfkill is an absolute godsend. Please make this part of the standard build ongoing. Kudos to @cyperghost

Please add some info about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu seems like I may have to settle for a middle ground then. Yes it is an interlaced image. I hate that There is no way to independently control the resolution on emulation station. Thank you for all of your assistance.

I may continue to tinker with adjusting the resolution.

@ExarKunIv It works!! Great!
Thanks a lot.
