@dcaputi From the distance I assume it is a known issue with the firmware of the Xin-Mo. See here for a workaround: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xin-Mo-Controller/

@Jiryn
i am using the awesome lr-FBNEO Emulator, which is installed by default, for NEOGEO and most of the arcade-roms.
As a second option i use lr-MAME (current) for those few roms, that FBNEO does not support and i wish to have.

The DIP-Switches can be accessed by a Key-Combo that you can define in Retroarch/Core-Options.
AFAIR this option is called "diagnostic key" and the default input is "holding START-Button" (during gameplay/rom running).

Retroachievements are the cream on the cake imo!
Similar to Playstation-Trophys or XBOX-Achievements, just better (great widgets, leaderboards for all kind of stuff...)
Concerning Arcade-Achievements: only lr-FBNEO is supported, another point for this masterpiece.
As far as you want to play for achievements: keep your fingers away from the DIP-Switches as only default settings are supported (which is more than fair)
Fo further information just have a look here:

@hisoka said in Put all downloaded media info in gamelist.xml To show them correctly:

Sorry I missed that. Anyway, here's my old Setup.

Please add the info for the current setup.

EDIT: and add the installation info - how did you install and what image did you use to install RetroPie.

This forum is dedicated to RetroPie - are you using RetroPie or you just modded your SNES classic to install RetroArch ?

@mitu

You said it was dark grey, not colored.

No, I ment it has the same color as the background, it is dark grey.

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.

If I exit EmulationStation it's just this screen, no cursor, it seems to me that it is loading, but just nothing happens then, even after 5 minutes.

@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.

@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.
