@loopsheloop said in Bluetooth RetroPie Setup Script Issues:

Thanks for finding this! While going through it, I found examples of similar problems going back to to 2018 on a Pi Zero.

After editing bt.helper, my SN 30 Pro seems to be working as intended (I think): after loading Emulation Station, the controller would pair itself when I powered it on. Tested with 2 reboots and 2 cold boots. I wonder why your device started crashing.

Not sure about the crashes on shutdown, but it was only once or twice across 10-15 reboots/shutdowns. Chalk it up to a buggy bt implementation, I suppose. Still no issues with the bt dongle, though. Received one of the new 8bitdo Pro 2 controllers yesterday. That's working well with the dongle as well.

@jdotfite

I reached out to losernator and he was kind enough to provide an explanation and a quick fix:

"Piemarquee2 gets the rom name from the list of running processes, and game-specific options should affect that.

It seems that mk.zip.cfg was recognized as a rom file
quick fix : rename marquee "mk.png" into "mk.zip.png"

I created a duplicate mk.png and mk.zip.png to take care of the menu and in-game and all is good now!

@mitu Amazing, thanks. I'll try this later and see if I can get everything updated

Are you running RetroPie/EmulationStation from a desktop session ?

@dankcushions yeah but weirdly enough emulationstation is the only thing that freezes. Plus older versions worked just fine. If I leave the gpu freq with the default value works

@papinist I've literally updated from 4.4 to 4.7 yesterday. See my post here about the steps I took:

It might help a bit?

@clyde said in Updating 4.6.x to 4.7.1:

My 4.6 installation became 4.7 just by the normal update process

And as I just checked, it's 4.7.1 now. So yes, it went all the way from 4.6 to 4.7.1. 🙂
