@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.

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.

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

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Catastrophic lr-VICE failure:

Ah, found it:

sudo chown pi:pi /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-vice

Did that for the main and subfolder and managed to replace the crappy broken new files with the working old ones. All fixed. Thanks for the reply :)

I see how you have done it otherwise you would not be able to replace the files.
If you don't mind you can leave it that way.
However, notice that these folders normally have root user rights.
In principle you should turn them back to root.

@Chuckgofer Thanks for the confirmation.

@rhester72 said in joy2key_sdl.py doesn't support my controller:

To make RA happy, I had to hand-configure the controller in Retroarch (GUI) itself and save from there, which produced the "not-normalized" device name in the configuration file.
[..]

OK, so the other possibility of a device name mismatch is the configuration being created outside of EmulationStation's scripts - in this case via RetroArch itself. In any case, this kind of setups will hopefully be better supported by joy2key in the future.

had the similar issue and

Here it is, I've updated via setup script

use_art = "0"
disable_joystick = "0"
governor = ""
disable_menu = "0"
image_delay = "2"

@sleve_mcdichael thank you
I have learnt a good lesson today
I do really appreciate it

@mitu

FYI, solved with help from the moonlight team.

@mitu Noted. I understand.
Thanks once again for your help. It has been very useful to me
