@duglor Hi, on the Apple 2 emulator, when you hit f9 to change palettes, can you save the change on a per game basis or only the entire system? Be well!

@Lolonois got to love linux.
so i did a clean load to start all my comparing and what not.
and now it works just fine.
even though on friday even with a fresh and updated RP it would not start a game

as you said. you need to update the RP script and update everything.

i did a fresh load and with out updating it didn't work ( as you said it wouldn't) then i updated everything to the same commit that you did and it worked just fine after that. No error

so i did a new card and fresh image
this time i just updated retroarch, that didn't work. (was not expecting it too)
did a full update and like before it now works

So i agree, it is working as it is designed, why it didnt work before for me. i will never know

@Retrodade sorry, as

@Lolonois said in Apple2e: AppleWin Libretro:

[INFO] RetroArch 1.8.5 (Git 8bcd74b)

As I mentioned already in another thread: With this outdated version you are on your own (v1.8.5 was added at 2020-04-17 to RetroPie).

Currently RetroPie is on retroarch v1.16.0, I tested lr-applewin with retroarch v1.12 onwards.

theres not much I and @Lolonois can do.

the only thing i can say if you want to get applewin to work. you will have to update your system.
as i said above, updating retroarch to the latest which it 1.16.0 will not make it work. you need to the main Retropuie system files also

Never mind, fixed it :)

I think I'd crossed the streams while flailing at the options. The key is to add -gameio joy to emulators.cfg, so that it reads like this:

lr-mess-apple2 = "/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/run_mess.sh /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so /opt/retropie/configs/apple2/retroarch.cfg apple2e /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -gameio joy -flop1 %ROM%"

And then go into the MESS menu and set the analog controls up like this:

The key is those "P1 Joystick X Analog" and "P1 Joystick Y Analog" lines - you have to make sure those are set to "None", which isn't the default. Take those two steps and you should be sorted.

@landyvlad yes. There's a menu item at the top of the optional packages to do that.

I wrote a tutorial a while back with some tips to help with the disc swapping and save state mess. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19269/tutorial-painless-apple-game-emulation?_=1592965674049

One thing I would like to see is write protect in the emulator. Games written in Apple Pascal need the boot disc write protected or the boot hangs. This includes the first 3 Wizardry games. Like I discussed in the tutorial, you currently need to use file permissions as a workaround for this.

@alanhorman pressing f1 would have told you this as well.
