@darksavior Thanks for your tip. For a few moments I thought you were recommending me that PS2 compilation Orochi Saga.

I kind of don't mind the music restarting from the middle, since they even made an alternative "beginning" to all songs. I found the loading in Pi amazing - around 1 or 2 seconds.

If you like Neo Geo CD games you should try it too. I even feel like I could help a noobie like me to get it to run now. :)

@polygaryd Hi! I just had a go at Hexen II, too. I found that by adding the option -sndspeed 44100 the sound crackling went away. maybe you can add the option in the start script, but better would be to add it to \opt\retropie\ports\hexen2\emulators.cfg.

I don't know, if this will work though, because I'm now using a SDL2 enabled version of Hexen II.
@tpo1990 Maybe you can look into updating your script to that, because with that you don't have to rely on dispmanx for scaling

@adambegood please fill out the read this first information in full, including the verbose log.

are you running with enhanced resolution turned on? if so disable it - can cause such glitches as per https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#video-double-internal-resolution

another thing is trying to run this particularly game in interpreter mode rather than cpu dynarec. you can change in the same manner, although note you’d want to do that per-game, not globally, as the dynarec is typically desirable for good performance.

Looks like the name of the item you are looking for is "UI Select".
Not sure where in the inputs section it would be though.

this is the correct answer. you can't edit those files because they're not human readable as per the documentation

I see. So are we saying that because of this, these arcade menus listed above are not remapable/unbindable? Meaning the general user who hits the stray R2 or L3 button will be able to pull these up (accidentally)? I've been able to remove any/all other menus to avoid thus up 'till now.

no, read at the link in the comment i quoted, which details how to rebind the function. you need to do it via the MAME menu, not via the non-human MAME config files.

@iandaemon I think a couple other people mentioned it, from what I read PIJuice seems compatible, though not the best form factor. I'm not really too worried about putting a case or anything like that, though.

I'm just mostly worried if it can feed enough power (so the system won't be forced to run slower) and that the software on a pijuice might be incompatible with retropie.

@Mark_McQ btw, was your hand-held one also running retropie? Just curious if the software is compatible and for any issues

@Lolonois thanks, I didn't even consider that. Luckily, the controls I use are connected using the USB ports on the PI 4, so that shouldn't be an issue. I store the roms and save files on the USB drive, but I put the Retropie OS on the SD Card. Is that what you mean by /boot?

Overall, I think I'll probably get the PIJuice and see if it works, worst case scenario, I can save it for another PI project

@gmesmer are you running in windowed mode as fullscreen/borderless ? You might want to try it to see if it yields the same CPU usage.

setting this flag changes that behavior __GL_YIELD=USLEEP

You should test to see how that affects emulation, it might introduce some latency.

It is possible to run Dolphin, but the performance is not great and it's not close to fullspeed. You need to install the Raspberry Pi OS 64 beta image (or other 64 bit distro that runs on the Pi4) and then compile and install Dolphin following the instructions on their project page - https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.

@alphabetapie The -dev version is pretty stable, but it's not so widely tested and sometimes bugs may appear. It's up to you if you want to use it as a daily driver or not.

@brandflake11 said in Is There a Way to Emulate Louder?:

@alphabetapie As of the current retroarch version, I don't think you can set the audio output gain per game (correct me if I'm wrong!). It's a system setting. I think the first step would be to find out if you can load different system settings depending on what game you launch.

If that doesn't work, you could do it with this step (although I don't know how retropie manages retroarch.cfg since they have their own scripts that modify settings):
You could implement a script using sed to change the
audio_volume in ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg before launching the game from retroarch. Maybe there would be a way to do this in the menu before retroarch is launched with retropie. Changing the audio_volume in retroarch.cfg would be trivial with sed, it would just be a matter of figuring out how to change it depending on what game you would want.

Thanks for all the helpful info and trying to assist. I guess the best I can do at the moment is to just adjust the audio volume in the arcade game's dipswitches for now and see if it persists. It is what the arcade owners would have had to do back in the day using that method.

Well, you guys are awesome. Once I figured out where to change input settings in Retroarch..and then how to save my configuration...I got it working. The mappings for the left analog stick were blank, somehow. Note: I edited the main RetroArch config, and not Core configs. Both were blank, but I wanted it to correct every N64 rom.

I assume that means the Dpad was working, and it just wasn't being needed by Mario64, which I was testing on.

Try changing the video driver in retroarch to vulkan or glcore (working for me). The gl implementation is currently busted but you can try the workaround: https://docs.libretro.com/library/dolphin/

There is also currently a bug with this core and the GL driver that can be worked around by going to settings > user interface > show advanced settings ON and then going to settings > core > allow cores to change the video driver OFF.
The Dolphin core will now work without issues.

@rkoster yes, that could be it. I'll look at that as well.

I can see the script is working, the emulator is somehow passing over the final graphics selection.

I'll start there and keep playing with it. It's most likely something very simple somewhere . The games work, it's just the video that's the problem.

@mitu BTW, Im obviously no expert but Ive noticed a) Pimoroni dont seem to sell this daughter board anymore (odd in itself as it was a new product around 12months ago) b) By what Ive described its as if theres some conflict somewhere?

Just how it seems; whether thats true or not I have no clue.

EDIT: They do still sell it. I was wrong. However Ive seen at least one other with the same issue. 'Why' the issue exists I don't know if its software related or not? Ie why seen without bash script but not after (and vice versa for GPIO). Odd to say the least. https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/has-a-single-person-got-x-hat-and-usb-joy-btn-hat-to-work-together-in-2p/16923

EDIT2: Still with GPIO (P2) working and not USB (P1) and I noticed, on starting game that, where it usually says Picade X USB Gamepad installed at Port #0; this time it said '5840/3780 not installed'. Really hope that helps somehow😉🤞

EDIT3: Final fun fact of the eve. Following Edit2 I, just for kicks, ran Jstest js0 and nothing works on USB Hats joy/btns. I then pulled out the usb cable and put it in another slot. I then retested jstest js0. Guess what? All of a sudden it works (joy/btns). So, took down all codes, entered them in as input_player1's respective codes, saved retroarch and rebooted. Still no joy. Did jstest js0 again and not working again. Repulled usb cable, replugged and retested and working again!!! Go figure😩🙄

EDIT4: Missed the Verbose log request, will do tomorrow. Cheers.

Here are some NES Boxart Themed Bezels for Retroarch that I made on a whim. Each based on a famous developer of NES games. Nothing fancy here. Just an idea that came to me and I started tinkering. I wasn't even gonna share them but then I thought why not. Someone might like them.

Nice to hear that you find it very cool !

I will change your repository in the script,
and after my holiday I should make a separate thread for it.

Edit : your repository is updated in the script.(had to do a second fix)

After some tries clearing my head i erased the interfaces file (auto lo iface etc...), rebooted and i got connected though ethernet.

Then i installed all the latest versions of everything.

I tried to connect to my WIFI and it dint, BUT it connected to my 5G WIFI!

Now i have internet through WIFI. Its working im not touching anything else!

Thank you!

Wow, nice work!
