@Garavar You should be able to un-bind that key from the said menu (Esc or delete) and assign the Config menu to Tab instead of right joystick. What emulator/RetroPie version are you using ? Add more info as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Thank you so much!

If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that changing over to a USB boot means that your USB ports are staying powered on when your system isn't running. You should probably just unplug the power source after shutdown.

@brand said in Retroarch crashes when launching games (ES Windows 10): What should I do? Make sure your RetroArch works, this is not an Emulationstation problem. Also, this is a RetroPie forum, not a general RetroArch forum - you might want to try the libretro forums if you have problems using RetroArch on Windows.

@mitu said in Emulationstation UI Mode return not working from BT controller: @caver01 Some controllers have problems with the directional keys being registered properly by SDL EDIT: you can start ES with --debug and check the input recorded while you're trying the Konami code, they should appear in the log file (or on the standard output, if you're starting ES from a SSH session). Thanks! I will see if I can debug.

@deodekabokat If you're on the command line, you can use mc (maybe you're familiar with the Norton Commander/Dos Navigator/etc. interface) and navigate around the filesystem. Otherwise, you can copy the file on the ROMs folder and look at it over file shares cp /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg $HOME/RetroPie/roms I'd advise to use the full image - and not the Berryboot variant - if you can spare a SD card for a few days while you tinker with RetroPie.

@pit1209 I didn't even know someone copied my theme and passed it off as their own. Thanks for telling me. I'd say just delete that one and download my minimal theme, it has all the files I mentioned above.

I have the same configuration (raspberry pi 3 b+ and retropie 4.4.4) and the gamepad N30 Pro 2 works correctly only in Switch mode + 8bitdo mapping hack ON (though the latest firmware is installed). In Android and Windows modes triggers L2/R2 don't work. Mac OS mode connects to raspberry but ES doesn't detect gamepad at all. Also I've created the Udev rule but i'm not sure it is really needed. And if the gamepad seems not working after opening rom - just check the controllers order (yours should be set in first slot): Retropie->ConfigurationEditor->Configure basic libretro options->Configure default options for all libretro emulators->Choose joypad order PS: While the gamepad is connected it slowly glows, does not stays lit all the time

@mitu I see. I understand. Thank you for the help. I will see if i can find an alternative to NESPi case. Well, the biggest reason i got it was because of the Safe Shutdown script. Pressing a button to turn off the console is neat, so i can prevent any corruptions to the SD Card.

you edit the config.txt file with some of these settings: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md

@techana The errors you posted seems to indicate there's no available VRAM for the video to be rendered. If you're not using OMX (which has HW acceleration), Emulationstation will use vlc (via libvlc) to play the videos and they're not accelerated. The downside of using the omxplayer is that videos will appear in a separate layer on top of any image, hence some themes will suffer from it. Try increasing the GPU VRAM - the default RetroPie image will allocate 256Mb to the GPU, but you can increase that by editing the /boot/config.txt file. You can then increase the VRAM limit in Emulationstation, so maybe the ENOMEM errors will be gone.

Thanks Mitu for link, seems they have MOVED custom setting number from 22 to 23. Well know one of the tasks I will need to do over Christmas holidays, cfg file updates :/

@cybermonkey01 most of the free to download games that can run on the pi are already in our ‘ports’ package manager.

@slimbrick That's most likely some video codec that's not understood by omxplayer. It's also a common problem, there are a few topics on how to re-encode those videos to be compatible with omxplayer.

It'll handle the bios names in lower or upper case and a variety of different versions but they must be named in the scphXXXX.bin or SCPHXXXX.BINformat. I've been using scph7502.bin. I don't believe there's much of a difference, if any, I've just had this handy for years. There's no guessing to this. Renaming files is your problem here. For some examples of bios names: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1 Get the romset version for the emulator you want to use and DON'T rename anything. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Arcade

@mitu said in Add option to adjust BG volume in emulationstation: @lesk said in Add option to adjust BG volume in emulationstation: But now I'm wondering if there is a way to add a option in the menu of emulationstation to adjust the volume of the BG music. SInce the BG music is not part of ES, why would this options appear there ? The script has it's own volume set, embedded in the script, so it would ignore any external settings. If you'd like to change the volume - modify the script and change the maxvolume setting at the beginning of the script, it's at 0.50 (which I assume is 50% of max available). I want it there because its easier and more accessible to adjust the volume from the ES menu. If I'm playing on my Retropie setup and feel like adjusting the volume of the BG music. I don't want to use SSH, or go to my computer to navigate to the script, change it, and then restart. I've seen people adding custom item to the menu before, and I just want to know if this is possible. And how to do it ^^ I'm not good at programing, so figuring this out for by myself is kinda impossible at this moment. If the script will ignore any external settings. Maybe there is a another way of doing this?

Actually, you can use emulationstation for windows as a theme editor. I think that it would be very hard to adjust the objects dragging them with the mouse cursor and people will end up using text editor anyways.

I guess the fbi (image viewer) used to display the .png file does not support transparency ? Ahh ok, that makes sense. It seems it defaults to a gray background. I wonder if there's a way to either have it default to a black background OR make the side bezels match the gray background i'm getting from the .png

@almulder Collections are automatically generated, so there's no similar sorting option.

No, Emulationstation doesn't have the ability to run shaders, that's something specific to RetroArch.
