@hbornstein You need to read the instructions. If it is not working - your emulator / rom pairing is incorrect as stated above.

Bump 2

@caver01 Thank you. I assumed it was something simple (like, 'duh' simple), but I hadn't noticed that prompt before.

Or is there a possibility to host a Game on a Windows computer or Mac and others can join? So i could just record my windows/mac screen to record the gamplay...?
I tried to host a hgame with Project64 and the AQZ-Netplay Plugin but my retropi said: "implementations differs", when i tried to join the game with my retropie :/

i think i figured it out. i am trying to use a ps2 controller. i think it has been assigning the wrong controller to p1 and p2. i have it working if i get it to assign the order correctly. i believe it always assigns correctly if i wait until emulationstation to boot before i press the analog button on the ps2 controller it works properly.

i was about to change OVERCLOCKING to "2x" in fcumm core options (some time ago i enabled NO SPRITE LIMIT and it saved my setting without a problems) and after pressing the SAVE CORE OVERRIDES it did not save my setting. so ive tried the SAVE ON EXIT option and it doesn't work also. then i saved regular configuration and it showed me "Failed saving config to "/opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg"" blablabla.

then i have tried your solution and saved config to a new file and it works. i mean it saved cofiguration but then i realize that option i wish to change is in core options so it does not help. so then again ive tied to save core setting and now it said OVERRIDES SAVED SUCCEFULLY but after closing a game and start a new one core options still remain unchanged.

i decided to edit "retroarch-core-options.cfg" file by hand via scp and this method worked for me. finally i set overclockin to 2x, but it pretty strange why i cannot do it via retropie itself. still looking for solution.

@simonster thank you for your very much, your suggestion guide me to this "temporary solution" ;)
maybe someone else sharing the same problem as me ?
cheers

edit:
even more wierd thing happend:
so happy that i fixed my problem i decided to test it. so i changed OVERCLOCKING to "DISABLED" and saved my core setting. it showed me that save was succesfull (i was not suprissed and was expecting nothing) but after starting a new game OVERCLOCKING option remain DISABLED so core setting actually saved. i was thinking is working now but after switching to "2x" and saving nothing happend. i dont know what is going on.

edit2:
even better
after changing OVERCLOCKING to disabled and exit game without saving config the option remain DISABLED (mind blown). i got crazy ;) HELP, can someone check it in own device ? ;)

@mediamogul When I change the controls in Sony_Computer_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller.cfg it changes the controls in games, but doesn't change the controls for the menu so I think that is good.

the screenshot is already in the command line. if you type

sudo nano /etc/asound.conf <enter>

...you can edit it, and maybe fix it.

When I saw the subject line I thought of you @mediamogul lol

Better this than "Local hoarder crushed to death by avalanche of 'Far Side' calendars. Survived his by 47 cats".

@pma7779 Hello and welcome to the forum.

Just as a friendly general advice, you should have waited if your own thread yields any solution for you before necroing this ancient thread from a user who didn't post anything since June 2017.

That said, I wish you success with your problem.

@heinstein also, if you fix the first file you listed you wont have to configure any more configs

@z3r0d4y

For the RetroArch cores, a good place to start is here:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#custom-retroarch-override-examples

As for everything else, the individual pages for each system details controller mapping.

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Supported-Systems

You can also use external mapping software if you find any of the default methods lacking. Linux Joystick Mapper is one to consider as well as xboxdrv. Below is a guide to setting up xboxdrv on a per-emulator basis that deals directly with RetroPie:

I found the filters through the Retroarch menu. Is there a way to cycle through them while playing? Thank you for your time, sorry for all the questions.

Hi Chaps. Old thread I know but wondering if you guys got to the bottom of this?

I am running Pi 3 with retropie 4.3 on a 1080p HDTV and lr-mame2003.

Output resolution is set to 1080p/60 and when render resolution is also set to 1080p the bezels work perfectly (with some performance issues).

When my render resolution is set to 800x600 I have the same issues as OP.

Running the render res at 800x600 gives me super smooth scrolling whereas with 1920x1080 i get snatchy/glitchy scrolling.

Happy to provide more info, just wondered if there was something obvious that I am missing.

Great work Floob! Cheers

@Skul Did you ever get an answer for this? Wondering the same thing for my arcade build.

@meleu
As painful as it sounds I guess I will have to. Thanks.

@meleu ok I have worked it out,
if you set the curl option as -0 (number zero) then you get screens of code, which to someone who doesnt know what they are doing looks correct.
if you set it as -o (lowercase letter o) then you just get the data transfer specs, and the next stage works.
I have now installed it successfully, perhaps you could put a note in your readme for newbies like me so that they dont make that mistake?

@mitu I think no. But i dont really know if something change or not... or if i did it wrong when I writed that lines (no error message, just go down to the next line) but still having the same problem with the blue menu "in game"
Just another stupid question for my part, .how I can restart the rasp, or the system in the command menu (this one we are working) because I don't know if need to restart or save the changes.
