@jimmyfromthebay that's weird because I run my game-override configs from the "configs" folder and I've not had any issues.

What's this?:

configs.hdmi

...is it supposed to say that, or...? That's not standard, I don't think...

@thorr69 Great find! Now i can use verbose logging.

My cue file is correct, i open it on FBNeo....any ideas?

EDIT: I´ve removed PREGAP 00:02:00 line from .cue and it works in neocd and fbneo.

Is this make any difference for neocd emulation?

@folly Sounds like great progress! Ingenious work with the PSP battery.

I bet PS2 is decent for emulation, they are powerful enough in retro terms. PSP seems more fun - I like the handheld retro aspect.

I've got an XBox One and a decent laptop as well, I like modern and retro. There is some messing around to get games to work sometimes on Windows - I had trouble with Jurrasic World Evolution this week, took me a day to get it working (it didn't like booting up in anything other than 60hz 1080p). I'm playing Halo Infinite now as well - it is so good for a free game (only the multiplayer is free though).

Not sure what you mean by that. There's no such option that I can find under Controls (I have Show Advanced Options set to On).

You need to update RetroArch, this option is only a few months old, see https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-9-6-released/

Ah, thanks. I'm absolutely terrified to update core features like Retroarch in case they've done something moronic that requires the manual alteration of literally thousands of CFG files, like that time they added a new video aspect ratio which renumbered all the other ones :(

If the PSX controller is P2, without any configuration, in order to switch controllers you should have:

input_player1_joypad_index = "1" input_player2_joypad_index = "0"

You can re-order the controllers also from the configuration editor configuration - it's one of the advanced options you can set.

@alturis said in RetroPie 4.7.1: Trouble getting custom_viewport_... settings to work:

Are you suggesting I fix that myself in the github project?

The file is from the upstream Retroarch's repository - you can submit a PR there to have it fixed.

@holyheadshot said in Cannot map controls to IPAC:

Maybe another silly question but I've read other threads about emulation station configuring as gamepad vs keyboard. Would changing something like that help?

There's no explicit setting in EmulationStation for that, however there is one for the IPAC and it's referenced in the doc page I linked earlier.

Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

For the input part - can you get a verbose log from the emulator and see what it reports ?

@billymild by default retropie uses the RGUI menu driver:
alt text

it sounds like you're talking about the XMB menu driver:
alt text

you could set it to the latter via https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Configuration-Editor/ -

advanced config configure libretro options all/retroarch.cfg menu_driver = xmb

note that RGUI is the menu that is referenced in all our docs, and may be more performant on low spec machines like Pis.

@chuck_pierce said in screen_orientation in retroarch.cfg doesn't seem to work:

The video_rotation works like a champ (so my games play in the correct orientation), but the retroarch menu doesn't seem to be able to rotate. I've got a cocktail style machine and have the screen rotated 90 deg. I've tried values 1, 2, 3, and 4 with no changes to the retroarch menu.

that's right. this function is intended to rotate the GAME, not the whole session. it is working as intended. it looks like there's an outstanding issue to rotate the whole lot outside of X, that you could follow here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6770

unfortunately the ability to rotate the entire session outside of X does not exist for pi4, as far as i know.

natinusala created this issue in libretro/RetroArch open Menu ignores video_rotation configuration #6770

@retro81 Actually I may make it ask the user to update from RetroPie-Setup, to keep updating handled in one place.

@daviidx6tance Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please provide more information as detailed in link.

@brentriddell to apply it first put the file tweakvec.py into directory home/pi/tweakvec/ on your sd card ( or other storage whre retopie is installed if that).
Then you can enter in terminal window on your PC or in retropie console next:

sudo python3 /home/pi/tweakvec/tweakvec.py --preset PAL60 you get true colors and pal 60 mode (must be sdtv mode = 1 in config.txt to get 60 Hz in all emulators)

But after next reboot you got standard ntsc mode ( with wrong colores), so if you want tweakwec fix always turned on you need write this command in file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh It will be run tweakwec automatilly at every retropie start.

But in the end i've get right colors but also get "flickering" in some games. So to get flickering off i've used progressive mode ( write sdtv mode = 16 in config.txt)

Maybe it was helpfully too ( find my messages in the bottom of thread) https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/811
