      Retropie on Pi Zero 2w not loading roms or emulators

      I can't reproduce this with exFAT using a Pi3 (which is the same platform as the Pi Zero 2w). I have an up-to-date RetroPie system created from the RP Pi3 image and updated regularly.

      Starting with an empty drive and adding the retropie folder to it, the synchronization of the folder by the usbmount service preserves the case for all folders - the folders under roms are all lower case, the only uppercase folder is the BIOS folder and that's outside the roms folder.

      @jmcdra said in If one were to install mednafen on retropie...:

      I'm also noticing this input delay on RetroArch too

      You should have started from there instead of making it look like a mednafen issue. In the first place, i can hardly make sense of using mednafen standalone to play nes games on rpi4, there are plenty of better options afaik.

      Retroarch has the P+K method to measure input lag, and in my experience the nes cores usually have 0 frames of input lag (i.e. the game reacts at the frame right after pressing a button), there might be exceptions but i doubt it ever goes beyond 1 frame.

      If you are experiencing huge input lag on nes emulation, then i can only suppose something unrelated to emulation is at work here, like display lag or something about your controllers.

      @mitu said in Prevent Emulation Station to read all ROMs when starting:

      Note that if you add or remove games, they will not show up/disappear unless you disable this option so that EmulationStation will write the correct/updated gamelist.

      As I have all the ROMs I want collected (that's why it takes so long for the EmuStation to read) I will give it a try.
      Thanx

      What gaming OS to install on PI 5?

      @Ashpool said in What gaming OS to install on PI 5?:

      any specific reason to use the 64 bit instead of the 32 bit one?

      With the new RaspiOS, the 64bit variant is recommended by the RPI folks for both Pi4 and Pi5. Furthermore, Pi5 cannot run a 32bit kernel so you'd end up with a 64bit kernel and 32bit OS/userland, which will

      cause confusion for source installation, since most emulators/ports assume that if the kernel is 64bit, the OS is also. As a consequence, some source installations will outright fail since they compile for aarch64 (64bit ARM), but that won't work since 64bit dependencies are not installed.

      break the installation of kernel modules, because dkms doesn't know how to handle 64bit kernel modules on a 32bit OS.

      TL;DR - if you have a Pi5, 64 bit is the recommended OS.

      Please post the contents of the .cue file - you can open it as text, since it's just text. Did you also checked the BIOS files that @abj mentioned - are they present in the BIOS folder ?

      @retropieuser555
      I know what you mean. N64 and PS1 look very dated when you play those games.

      At least by Gamecube or PS2 Era the graphics had gotten much better and the analog controls don't feel as clunky.

      @MiroKostovBG
      PAL and NTSC have different resolutions.
      Perhaps when you are running PAL games, the screen output is resized to fit the extra vertical lines (576) onto the screen and that 'squishes' in the sides a bit. NTSC only has 480 lines.

      You can probably eliminate the top/bottom black bars with overscan settings, but it seems like the left/right bars will likely always be there when playing a PAL game.

      @MiroKostovBG said in Refresh emulation station games without restarting.:

      @sleve_mcdichael And can you do that with a command through SSH ?

      Maybe something like:

      pkill emulationstatio && emulationstation

      (Note the misspelled emulationstatio in the first one -- this is intentional.)

      This tries to kill ES and then, only if that worked, restart it.

      Also it would be interesting what would happen if a game is running, would that break the game

      This I'm not sure but should be easy enough to test using the above.

      Is it possible ES to log in real time which game it opens.

      Please delete this topic when you can and sorry for the spam here. It seems that I overlooked the beginning of the log for whatever reason. I have all information I need with the default verbose logging.

      @retropieuser555 @LLD correct in that audio cannot easily be addressed. I added the note about ScreenUpdateSetting = 7 in the sheet. Note there is also a comment in there for Perfect Dark from @George-Spiggott

      Could also try Next/640x360 16:9 with MSAA Level 2 (recommended by @George-Spiggott RetroPie forums)

      Forgive that my pi is offline (building lr-mess) at the moment, but I recall Perfect Dark could not be perfectly emulated with any system and there were some sacrifices with any proposed solution.

      Haven't made my way yet to N64.

      Still trying to settle the texture packs for the NES.

      Thanks for the folder directory location though.

      It will be easier now that I know where those will go.

      Yes, it's possible to start the games, but they will run very poorly. If you want to play Wii games, try another system - preferably a PC (x86).
