@mitu Hi mitu and thanks again!

I can confirm that P2 has the config file I posted earlier and also that I have no input overrides present.

I've exhausted all ideas and things to try from my end.

In the end I simply added the following line to my opt\retropie\configs\gb\retroarch.cfg file...

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"

This changes the hotkey from Select to another button on the righthand controller (lucky I have a spare).
This works. I can hit the new button (now hotkey) and Start and it will exit game back to ES.

But I'd still prefer to exit by pressing Select and Start!

What does this tell us?
Are we any closer to knowing what's happening here?

From my previous post... when the hotkey is the Select button, I can Reset game (Select + B) and I can Save state (Select + Right Shoulder) so Select does work as a hotkey.
It just doesn't work in combination with Start to enable me to exit game.

Thank you for any continued support.

@adambegood lr-mame2016 does not expose any of its controls through Retroarch, they all have to be done through the tab menu. It should work natively, that's how I did it. Configure the light gun X and Y axis through the tab menu. The trigger should work automatically if I recall, though it was a while ago when I set it up.

Update: refined the "find" command that configured the games. Now uses:

done < <(find "$romdir/ports/droidports" -maxdepth 1 -type f \( -name "*.apk" -o -name "*.APK" \))

1: -type f - we don't want to return directories even if they're called *.apk. This forces it to only return files.

2: -maxdepth 1 - nothing inherently wrong with using subdirs and normally it would work just fine, but if a user has two files with the same name in different dirs (for example, both FooBar.apk and subdir/FooBar.apk) then their launch scripts and config dirs will conflict. Setting -maxdepth 1 forces it to only return files in the main droidports directory so there can be no filename conflicts.

@thorr69 Well.. if you know what this does... "we're old"... if you don't... then "I'm old"... lol. :D

@dteam
All set. Do you need them with a white background as well?

@folly Great effort! I'll try this out when I get the chance. Brilliant detective work.

@opi_baettlebeard

Awesome, I'm glad that was the issue.

@dankcushions Cool, I didn't even know that, thanks for replying!

@windg Standalone yabasanshiro on an overclocked pi 4 runs PDS great.

@mitu thank you for your answer.
Version of RetroPie:

And here the version of the LXDE:

Today, when I started the Raspberry Pi, no errors appeared. I don't know what is the condition that triggers the event of crash.
Thus I searched fo the es_log.txt and I found the following content: es_log.txt.
I immediately note that all the logs refere to the 27th November. However I also encountered the problem yesterday (I don't remember if also the 27th Nov I had the problem, maybe yes).
I see a lot of warnings .

@sleve_mcdichael said in Suggestions for button config:

@dankcushions aren't those upside down? I thought the "YXL" went on top in YXL-BAR.

yes, you're right. fixed!

Also: start-select-start-select, or start-select-select-start? Personally, if they are in between the players' control sets like that, I would mirror them. If they were up above each control set, I would still leave them in the same order so the control sets were identical, but when they're in the middle, you already have one player reaching left and the other player reaching right. In that case, I think the logical way to group them would be "a little to the middle" and "closer to the middle" rather than "which button is on the left or on the right."

the start/select part was just meant to be illustrative rather than prescriptive, as OP has already said they have labeled buttons within a cabinet, and not shown the physical layout, so they should just use p1 start as... p1 start, etc :) but sure, if you can relocate the buttons then do whatever layout you feel like

omxplayer is only enabled on a RPI, so the option will not be available on a Jetson system.
@Rommell76 without a Jetson nano system it will be difficult to diagnose this, since none of the developers have this board. What are the details of your installation - distro, arch, ES version, etc. ? Does vlc work for the videos you're trying to play ?

Confirmed that overclocking does help performance. I made the following changes:
arm_freq=1150
over_voltage=3

@jimmyfromthebay said in How can you save audio configs for a game?:

The answer, btw, is to put the two audio lines into the CFG file in the ROMS folder, not the one in the CONFIGS folder.

In other words, put them here:

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/wyvernwg.zip.cfg

NOT here:

/opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config/MAME 2016/wyvernwg.cfg

I mean, the other one would have worked too, if you didn't have them both. One of them has to take priority over the other, in case of conflicting entries. As you've discovered, this is the one in roms. This makes sense of you think about it, as that one is "nearest" to the rom itself in the filesystem. G.I. Joe, now you know.

What do you mean? You can already import individual titles, if you want.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I've been on the lookout for a good wireless N64 pad. There was one on Nintendo Online recently but it was only available to NMS members.

Once you accept that the design doesn't need the middle 'trigger' section the pad isn't too different to an Xbox Duke. This is another controller that is sadly difficult to source something that is wireless, which is odd given Microsoft's back compatibility programme for the newer Xbox models. Maybe the emerging Xbox emulation scene (on X86) will help push that market.

I have a PowerA wireless Gamecube controller. I've never used it with my Pi, even to test Gamecube, but hopefully I will one day. I do find on my PC that Retoarch is not easy to set up with different controllers for different cores. This is my goal, to have dedicated wireless controllers for systems with more esoteric controller designs.

@duel said in [SCRIPT] RetroPie Convert Videos:

1st of all great script. I converted all my videos with no problems. Question though, I'm getting an error when rebooting RetroPie. Illegal-Mpeg-Header . Here's a picture of the error code. https://www.dropbox.com/s/whgj075huoke8u6/img_20211201_075232.jpg?dl=0. Can you tell me what this means and how to fix it?

Nevermind on this error. I've rebooted instead of restarting emulation station and the error went away. Thank you for this script. I've looked everywhere to find a fix for video snaps for MAME to play properly and this was it. Major props.

Here is a script made by @sleve_mcdichael it is a GMLoader engine it is to run GameMaker Studio games for Android

i can say it does AM2R works quite well

GMLoader
