@waitingmoon I've adapted the changes submitted by @Zigurana and eagle0wl and submitted a new PR, which was accepted recently.

If you're using RetroPie, you can install the emulationstation-dev package (from the experimental packages section) and try it out.

nevermind...after running the tests, and rebooting the Raspberry, the joystick was detected.

@charv44

Following the steps in that video is not recommended. RPI4 support is not being worked on in the master branch at all.

Until we officially implement support, these instructions are more accurate - but keep in mind that we are not yet providing any support or looking for bug reports (especially on github) for the development branch. You can try your luck and ask for help here, but don't expect miracles.

Ok, lesson learned. Copying stuff can lead to compounding errors. Thank you @mitu for the guidance!

@mitu I used the desktop version.

As this is a dedicated retropie device, I could have just downloaded the image. But at the time I was setting up three different RPis, two of them file servers. So it made sense to create them all from the same image, and avoid configuring them all individually.

Previously, my RPi wasn't a "dedicated" Retropie, so that was a manual install too.

@jpoul said in How can I hide subfolders in EmulationStation?:

Shouldn't the feature "Parse Gamelists only" show exactly what is on the gamelists.xml file - as in the list of game, no matter where they are and disregard everything else?

No, that's not how it works. It just means that it will not scan for new ROMs in the configured path to add them to the game list.

If I do change the rom path, shouldn't I have to put the gamelist.xml in that path as well?

Yes, either that or put it in the default place (/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/nes).

@mitu works fine! Thank you 😊

@telengard Not unless you enable "Parse gamelists only" and then you need a gamelist for everything (anything not in the gamelist won't show up).

@anassassinsblade what exactly do you mean by "bought the retro pi 4"? What exactly have you bought?

@masteryoer You might also want to look at these threads:

@matchaman

First, I want to finish my theme, and the art upload, once done... I don't know.

press the button that you have assigned to start, then choose the configure input option.
It took me a fair while to find that :)

@masteryoer
I had the same issue. The games under nes was slow and the audio was laggy.
The solution was not the resolution setting.
The solution was to change the audio driver under the raspiarch config and disable audio synchronization

WOW!!! Thank you!

@tashman F1 -> Options -> General -> Status Bar (I think I had to enable Auto save settings also or it wouldn't stick)

@trigger_death
thanks you

Thank you!
This fixed my crash as well.
Debug mode didn't help with finding a solution.

@phrazelle awesome! I will have to download it when i get a chance. I saw your cabinet a long time ago and so badly wanted this theme. Now i can finally have it. Your nes arcade is way too cool. I cant get over it. The nes is my favorite system. Awesome stuff you have done.
