@dankcushions Thanks man

@Fr3d You need to hold down the button for a couple of seconds. If you still have problems, open a new topic and provide the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@rbaker It's like the controls are the Hotkeys.

I'm having the same problem where none of my controllers are working in game, however, I know what you're talking about, as I had that same thing (with the having to basically hold all the buttons to get it to open the remap screen) happen to me. Unfortunately, I have no idea what caused it, and I was only able to fix it by doing a clean install. If it's any consolation, since the install I haven't had that problem (just my current one where my controllers aren't working in game)

please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@michael40475 You could do the same way most people do here: burn a clean Retropie image into another SD Card, put into your RPi, put your games on it and enjoy.

@dankcushions said in Shader and ratio configuration issues:

@floxblah don't say 'any emulator'. give me an example. give me an example game. if it's not doing 4:3 what is it doing?

I use lr-fceumm emulator with duck tales (europe version). If i set 16:9 it will apply the 16:9 ratio and if i set 4:3 i have the game default ratio value (like the ratio value is unset).

ok but the default ratio will be 4:3 on almost all old games. some PAL (europe) versions will have borders but that won't be solved by changing your aspect ratio - they would have had borders on 4:3 tvs also.

fceumm will have options to change how it displays borders perhaps - select + X to get to the retroarch menu, then quick menu > core options. it will be the overscan options.

@bifelix89 set the "a" button as your hotkey in emulationstation start menu controller configuration. Just so the hotkey option gets generated. Now open up the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/NameOfYourController.cfg . Find the part for exit and hotkey. Assign the number that is your start key to the hotkey and change the exit to another key. (Not b or x as they are used for other options)

Just thought I'd throw this out there and mark this as resolved. For anyone looking to do what I did which is fully configure your RetroPie, then remove your controller configuration for a clean backup solution (Where you can then restore and configure whatever controller you want as it came Out of the Box) all you have to do is this.

Configure your Raspberry Pi fully (with RetroPie) Make sure all settings are exactly as you'd like with splash screen, themes, core configs, scrapes, roms Delete any save files for the cleanest backups Go to RetroPie > RetroPie Setup > Manage Configurations > EmulationStation > Clear input Configuration Exit to ES, press start on controller and Shutdown System Remove MicroSD card, and insert in computer Create your backup with your favorite backup software, then "Pi shrink" it

@Phoenix_Rising66 I have the same problem. There’s no select button so i have to turn off the retro pie just to go to a different game, then after I do that I have to reconfigure the controller again

@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.

@Spl1ff Thanks for the kind words. Admin buttons are extremely handy. As you probably noticed, I have five, which is a lot I know. One is for EXIT, two is for PAUSE, three and four are for volume control, and five is power button around the back of the case. Not everyone agrees with this, but I would never build an arcade panel without some obvious way for users to exit at minimum. Pause is a bonus, as is volume.

@BuZz I have searched for ages to find an answer but i cannot , I am as new as it gets to this, i shall now put in the relevant information asked for

I have always set up via Retroarch options and it's listed as something like enhance resolution (can't remember the exact name), but that is on the Raspberry Pi builds. I always find it because it's the option right above the speed hack.

On the PC, there may be other options for enhancement.

@claudio lol. Soz, just re-read your post where you very specifically say your eldest is 5.

DOH!

I am also having a similar problem. You're suppose to remap it by using jstest in terminal. It will allow you to see the number the buttons are assigned to which then you assign to in the snes9x.cfg file. I have gotten to this part but nothing has changed for me. Clicking start will still exit the game for me so it's kind of frustrating. I'm using snes9x since Pisnes won't even run at all.
