I was actually wrong it started up again but when i connected a power supply to my hdmi av connector it stopped and has been good since i think it is a power issue and using overscan must draw less power so thats why it seemed better

@Clyde said in External Boot in my image: @MPlay Thank you for sharing your solution. you are welcome, my next step is set retropie to stream my game play (if possible in net play mode) in my youtube channel. thank you and other friends for support.

@microb41 According to the Raspberrypi website, there is a pixel clock limit, ie effectively a limit to the number of pixels that can be controlled, of 1920x1200@60 Hz, so as your resolution exceeds that, it shouldn't work You can set higher resolutions, in config.txt, but they won't work. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md Further down on the same page, it shows you how to create a custom screen resolution, so it would be worth you looking at that to get the aspect ratio you want.

@fuzzybat23 berryboot works differently. You can mount the partition with the globally shared config.txt though - https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/6972/location-of-berryboots-config-txt

@mitu I've also solved the screen saver problem and added a script to trigger and Enter Key press, 8 seconds triggers this about 2 seconds after loading.. I've created a script to emulate the key press.. updated the post below: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/129603

After doing what @Brigane suggested, I believe you can uninstall Attract Mode from the RetroPie-Setup.

Thanks very much

@Krisu not a good first response to get help here. How about: Because I asked you to. It may not be the same issue - cause may be different. Lots has changed in 2 years. The forum wouldn't work if everyone used one topic per type of issue.

Yes, give it a go from a version with the standard build and add AM from experimental. I'm sure Buzz integrated it better than I would have done, plus I could do the same to help debug if it still doesnt work.

@jukeltruck Glad you where able to figure this one out. I double checked my system and I already had libvlc5 installed. For others reading this, this is what you type in to install it: sudo apt-get install libvlc5

I figured out the sound problem but I still don't know how to boot to ES

@enderandrew said in Splashcreen video and boot texts: Out of curiosity what is your beautiful boot video? a modiefied version of this, with sfx and BGM @markyh444 said in Splashcreen video and boot texts: @DuckSalmon It depends on the boot process too, and if you've got devices connected. Try it with no peripherals attached,and see if one of them is slowing it down. thanks for the info now is pretty good

Though I haven't tested it since v4 of RetroPie, if you turn off autostart of Emulation Station (in retropie-setup, configuration), you can add the below to the end of /etc/profile if [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/x64 -chdir /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/c64 fi This is assuming you've added Vice in as it's not there by default anymore.

Did you enable the root account and login as root ? You should install from the "pi" user It would be easier to do a fresh install than debugging this imho, as you will want to reinstall from the correct user.

Well I solved this with a work around. I had splashscreens disabled. I created a black screen png. I re-enabled splashscreens and chose my custom one. Now the autologin text does not show.

@dotEXE You can by modifying the single "retroarch.cfg" file in /opt/retropie/configs/psx. If you can upload the file here for me I can try to modify it for you.
