Thanks - you can delete them (they're password protected anyway). I'll give it a shot to see if I can reproduce the error and maybe finding a fix.

I have this curse...both at home and I work. I can't figure out a problem to save my life. Then, after I publicly make an ass out of myself by asking...the situation just clears itself up, as if there is some sort of cosmic force at work who wants me to constantly humiliate myself. This situation seems to be no exception. Without changing a thing, it seems to be working the way I want it to the past day or so.

Those are just warnings, they're not errors - it's safe to ignore them.

@mitu Of cours, but then you mess up your rom set. On the other hand some systems or naming conventions use rom sets which have names which are not unique. (I don't find one at the moment, but i saw such discs) e.g. "<Game>.cue" "Track1.bin" "Track2.bin"

@polygonman244 if you have mapped a keyboard in emulationstation it will never ask again for you to configure a controller.

Hi there! I extract all the roms, configs, images, gamelists, themes, etc... and build a new sd card now with Stretch. Now, scraper work properly. You can close the thread. Thank you very much!

@mitu True, its not too difficult. Maybe I'll just save all my files and redo everything fresh. Its been far too long.

@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.

Does anyone know if there is there any resolution to getting ALL of the buttons on this controller to work in ES? I'm disappointed that all of the buttons cannot be used. Originally I was attempting the macOS pairing and nothing would work (I read somewhere this is the best setting for retroarch. Cannot cite my current source because I forgot). After two weeks of trial and error, I'm happier after reading this thread that I can use the Windows setting, but I often use the trigger buttons for load and save states (the shoulders are for ff and rewind). So full functionality is reduced for me.

@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.
