@daubsi Yes. The .rp-dist files are created when an emulator is installed or updated and the default config has been changed (as it won't overwrite your custom config).

@mitu I cannot find Disc Control function in RetroArch's menu: should you tell me the path where it is?

It's in the Quick Menu:

@mitu Thanks a lot. Tonight I'll give it a try!

@greenhawk84 Download the latest image and open it with 7zip to look in the boot partition and read it. This is what it looks like, extracted from the PI4 image:

For the PI2/3 models, I think there's a memory setting added that's extra, the rest should be identical.

The hotkey enable button, being RetroArch specific, is part of the joypad auto-configuration profiles saved in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig.

Try resetting the retroarch.cfg - the global configuration file - in \\retropie\configs\all. Replace it with the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist from the same folder.
However, if you used a remap/input override, this won't help.

@tompacyk said in Lists filtered to favorites by default:

Follow up thought: I get that the filters aren’t preserved, but is there a file or flag that is set somewhere once I toggle a filter? Could I (theoretically) write a startup script that populates this after each boot?

No, there is no flag - otherwise it would have been easy to re-add the filter between EmulationStation restarts.
Only the Kid and Hidden are flags (they're saved) and can be used to simulate a 'reduced display' mode, as @pjft suggested. Hidden games are not shown in Kiosk mode, and Kid mode shows only the games tagged as Kid game.

@Spectral There's no need to delete it. Just leave it as it.

@mitu Thanks for the link. I checked it out, but it doesn't appear to fix the main problem of disrupting retropie. It only fixes games with mic issues, if I understand it correctly.

This was the issue I was having: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10110/drastic-nds-emulator-breaks-run-command-emulator-configuration-prompt-in-retropie4-2/30

Though in my case, it seems to have disabled the retropie setup menu as well... even after I uninstalled it. I switched to my backup SD card and so far no problems with the retropie setup menu, although, I still can't get other systems to boot after I've launched a NDS game.

@pumpkinrat The settings for ES should be in /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.txt, you can modify it with the nano editor from the terminal. You can check the ES start log from /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt to see if any errors are logged.

@caver01 said in Which ROM Version A, B, Rev 2, etc:
> ...for the most part, the safe starting point is the parent ROM (typically without suffix) and this is often the latest revision and/or the "world" region.

Perfect! This was what I was looking for. A reasonable starting place, with a logical reason.

Is there a way to mark a thread as solved?

Thank you!

So I ended up doing the following:

I left the basic config in place.

I then tested each game, changing the controller type to analog once the game was started and if it worked, I created a custom config for that game that has the player 1 and player 2 controller set to analog.

So now each game works as it should, some work fine with the default settings and the d-pad only, others work with the analog stick. I couldn't find one blanket setting that worked for all games, I had to test each one and configure different options files for each game that supports the analog controller type. It took a good amount of time, but works like a charm now no matter what game my kid fires up on the unit.

@dudleydes got it to work!

I added input_toggle_fast_forward_btn = "7"
but not to the retroarch.cfg 's

I added it to
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads

then the .cfg for the joypad, which is " Mad Catz Xbox 360 Controller.cfg "

now right trigger works as FF when combined with hot key for all libtretro systems.

thanks for the help

Just updated everything, retested it: WORKING!
Thanks so much for your help. I was already creating all the MD5 checksums and doing some regex & excel magic to combine all lists LOL

Thank you! :-)

@BuZz said in Switching default NES emulator - Opinions wanted.:

Some people have requested the default nes emulator is also switched to lr-nestopia from lr-fceumm (eg on rpi2/rpi3) so interested in hearing arguments for or against that too.

I defeated Snake Man without taking damage in Mega Man 3 playing with Nestopia and the achievement didn't work (damn't!).
And then I tryied to get some cheevos for Castlevania and it didn't work. Changed to FCEUmm and everything is fine (but couldn't defeat Snake Man without taking damage again...) :(

Not sure if it's enough to make you decide, but it's worth to mention.

Work. Thank You. I disconnected the Xbox controller at the USB before reconfiguring so that I wouldn't even detect it.
