The new PI4 model has a different way of querying the TV for resolution than previous models. This information the TV is sending (EDID) might be inaccurate and the PI cannot find a proper video mode. I've seen a few topics with similar problems on the RPI forums (here or here), so it's an issue that's TV dependent and a bit difficult to diagnose. Working with tvservice might get you an usable video mode to show on the TV, but you'll need a SSH connection and some command line knowledge to accomplish it.

@inolen one more question...is it possible to make save input for a specific game or a specific button to switch from gamepad to axis controler. The problem is mainly that I'm also using two Hori Fight Sticks mini 4, so there is only a stick (gamepad) :) In some games there is the main controler the axis or gamepad. So every time I want to play a different game I have to reconfigure the controller from axis to gamepad or vice versa. This is just a wish (feature?:) )...nothing more :) If it's to complicate to implement or configure then don't bother :) Thank you again for your QUICK and mostly EFFECTIVE anwsers :)

@chataigne73 said in Compile emulationstation without video preview: Is it possible to compile emulationstation without video preview feature, and thus without the need of VLC libraries ? No, you'll have to modify the sources to remove the VLC dependency. Or use the original project's sources from EmulationStation.org, which doesn't have the video feature included.

@Rion Yes, your right. I don't know thus until now. Thank you! I think this topic can marked as "solved" and be closed.

@StigNasty said in Another total noob question: Two questions: 1. What does this mean? 2. How do I do this? It means you've been using a development branch of the RetroPie-Setup script and that branch (version) will be deleted, so you'll not be able to update in the future. From the command line, execute the following: cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git reset --hard git checkout master OR cd $HOME sudo rm -fr ./RetroPie-Setup git clone https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup

A small update. Added the ability to change the NTSC filter from the settings, as well as many small corrections.

personally, if i was doing this i would make a fork in github with my changes, and then edit the retropie build script to point at it, then compile it through retropie - update via source. eg https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/emulators/mupen64plus.sh#L32 if i made a change to the master branch of my fork of mupen64plus-core, i would this line to 'dankcushions core' note that when you edit retropie scripts the script updater will complain when you come to update it.

Here is how the finished NES Cartridge should look. Remember this is my version. feel free to change it however you see fit. Regards.

@ruckage did the last update from @jdrassa fix your cover size after scroll in grid view.. I always have te same issue on raspberry.

I just remembered that Retropie is doesn't support Buster yet so it would'nt work on Retropie just yet.

I just added an exec functionality to my multiplexer: The idea is, to allow external programs to be executed on a button press. This can be used to enable/disable special functions which are triggered by external executables: Here is a demo and you get an idea why I need this functionality:

Ok, took way too much time, but the Android keyboard should be fixed now.

WARNING: Overlocking can damage your pi. Hello, I have been messing around with the pi 1 model b, and I have found that if you overclock the retropi, to 1000mHz, and sigificantly increases your speed of pi and are able to play emulators that you were not able to play before. This includes Sega 32x and GBA. However overclocking your pi can seriously damage your pi. This is because you are forcing the CPU to work faster then it was designed for. Recommand you do this for short periods of time, but never long term. The only Pi that you can successfully overclock is the Pi Zero, which has been designed at the hardware level to run at 1000mHz. To overclock go to retropi settings and then go to overclocking. Also if you add a keyboard and mouse you can use the ports emulator. In the retropi settings, to to retro pi setup. Click on optional packages, that then scroll down to the bottom of the list, you will find a selection of open-source (free) games to play with a keyboard and mouse. Connect the pi to the internet and download from binary. Reboot the pi and then play. All work on the pi 1 model b without overclocking. Thank you and regards.

@mitu I got it working with the runcommand now. Only a small visual issue (no progress bar while downloading a game). But I found a bug in downloadAndExtract, and I opened a pull request :D https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2628
