[...] The background music fails to play in both enabled and disabled modes - and this message is displayed in the top corner of my screen:

Nov 23 10:21:35 lv10: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to attach to default card!

Out of the box, RetroPie doesn't have any background music functionality, is this a 3rd party script that's running ?

.. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be hugely grateful.

Are you using a 3rd party image or the RetroPie image from https://retropie.org.uk/download ? The official RetroPIe image doesn't have this issue and we don't support 3rd party images here in the forums.

Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to be able diagnose this further.

@irob the hierarchy is explained here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22816/guide-retroarch-system-emulator-core-and-rom-config-files

this also explains how to reset back to retropie's default configs (which, as you've found is quite different from retroarch's)

@leonjordan i had a number of problems installing the openbor scriptmodules. i suggest you try RetroPie-Extra version of the openbor scriptmodule, which will install an up to date build (65xx) with ability to direclty launch .pak files without extracting them.

I sware I had it changed to what you said earlier. Changed both files and it's now showing my N64 ones. Hopefully I can get the rest to work... thank you.

Addendum: You can also do that in the Linux command shell.

cd /opt/retropie/configs find -type f -newermt yesterday

-type f lists only files, not directories.
-newermt yesterday shows only files whose modification time is newer than yesterday.

If you append -ls to the command, you'll get a more detailed output.

find -type f -newermt yesterday -ls

See here for more examples.

framebuffer_priority=7

was the only option I needed in config.txt to get emulation station to work from hdmi 1.

(I needed to use this as the fat micro hdmi adapter I was using pressed against the usb-c power connector)

These are the only options I have set in config.txt (audio and video on second hdmi port 1 work fine in emulation station)

framebuffer_priority=7 # OVERCLOCK SETTINGS arm_freq=1800 # CPU Frequency gpu_freq=600 # GPU Frequency over_voltage=2 # Electric power sent to CPU / GPU (4 = 1.3V) dtparam=audio=on # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d max_framebuffers=2

@mitu Again thank you so much! I really appreciate your help.

@jamrom2 Definitely. When the cable company upgraded to the 'slide' version, I played with it endlessly.slide box

@mitu Thank you, I'll check that path first and then I'll check on the image producer.

@sirhenrythe5th I actually had another think about the key combination for select +x and realised this is a
hotkey + X.
My hotkey is set to the little button on the bottom right of the 8bitdo controller.
I pressed this button + X and boom into the GUI I go!

Thanks for leading me in the right direction

@monkeybus I remember when Compute! published Turbotape, it was unbelievably fast. Here are the technical details for those interested.

https://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue57/turbotape.html

IT WORKED! Sorry for wasting your time bro. :(

This guy here had the same problem and he found a way of making it work.
Apparently the way to go is to configure retroarch to use a standard keyboard then swapping the real keyboard to the ipac.

@WildkatCT said in 4.5 Reicast BT PS3 controller setup not working correctly.:

Setting up a clean 4.5 image, can't see to get Reicast to configure controllers at all. Ran the controller setup utility, and all the button presses are detected, but in the actual emulator, only the analog stick works and the PS button is mapped to A.

Oddly though, the controller works fine when plugged in USB.

I tried manually changing the values on the .cfg file for the PS3 controller in reicast, but it doesn't seem to re-act to the changes, or at least the values I have are not corresponding to what reicast is expecting.

How can i get values that reicast would expect? Something like JS test, but those values don't seem to work.

Hello, I am experiencing this problem too, can't get any of my ps3 bt controllers to work with Reicast after the retropie 4.5 update, please help!

I have already configured the "emu.cfg" as showed below and my mappings inside the "mappings" folder are correct for my controllers.

[input] MouseSensitivity = 100 VirtualGamepadVibration = 20 device1 = 0 device1.1 = 1 device1.2 = 1 device2 = 0 device2.1 = 1 device2.2 = 1 device3 = 0 device3.1 = 1 device3.2 = 1 device4 = 0 device4.1 = 1 device4.2 = 1 maple_/dev/input/event2 = 0 maple_/dev/input/event3 = 1 maple_/dev/input/event4 = 2 maple_/dev/input/event5 = 3

@mitu said in Skyscraper Config.ini help (Credentials for Screenscraper):

@mitu you were right! I didn't realize :o
Many thanks!

This helped and I believe solved the problem once I tweaked my config options. Thanks so much.

@RetroResolution Thanks for taking the time to write this post, helped me :)

im not sure what your issue is here the tate mode does rotate right this is what arcades do

@mitu @Revenged Thanks guys. I'm set now.
