@mitu That worked. Thank you!

@quicksilver Due to the version they are on, they are probably on Raspbian Jessie, which means there won't be anything in the way of firmware updates etc. @SnakeMcBeefbeef You should back up your configs/roms and start with a fresh image.

@hazeldig said in Problem with SSF2.ZIP (works from RA, not from ES): I noticed that FBA 2012 runs SSF2.ZIP flawlessly, but opening it from the EmulationStation on my Pi 3B+ Stating the fact : using fba2012 on a rpi3b+ is stupidity born of lazyness.

@mitu i ve managed to fix it, it was clearly a faulty sd card thing going on... thanks anyways :3

Actually I really didn't solve it, the load time was so long initially i thought it was stuck. It eventually loaded and after a couple reboots it loads normally now. Sorry about not updating that. Thanks!

@mitu problem solved! Saving the core config was the game changer. I still get the "controller not configured" message, but now it works :)

Oh, wait I understand now - I didn't realize each of these items in the lists were, themselves, subfolders containing the ROMs. The theme I was using, Eudora, didn't give any indication that the subfolders were different from the ROMs, and since that made the menu look buggy to me, I didn't want to test the "buggy ROM." The moment I switched to Carbon, the difference was obvious. A simple click would have answered all my questions. I feel very sheepish, you'd think I'd never used a computer before. But you helped me work it out, and thank you for that!

@GoldenSword This version of Emulationstation knows how to display videos, but in order to show them you have to Add video tags for the games to the gamelist.xml file used by Emulationstation. This is usually done by a scraper - try Universal XML Scraper or Skraper. Use an Emulationstation theme that supports the video tag and configure the layout of the theme to video so that videos are shown. Most RetroPie included themes for Emulationstation support video - here is a list of them.

Well this is an interesting one I tried setting this input a few times and the triggers werent updating right. After i deleted (reset/clear the inputs through emulation station) it worked. Something must have been amiss somewhere. I can see whats going on with the hotkeys in the list now it looks right. ps the system(raspian) was up to date not sure if it was some binary update that fixed it. If anyone is experiencing problems with xbox360 controllers update from binary's (always do the system as well). Clear your inputs through retropie setup and reboot and set your controller up and the jobs a good one. My triggers wouldn't set right they where double/tripple pressing without resetting/clearing the input first hope this helps anyone with the same issue. input_a_btn = "1" input_b_btn = "0" input_device = "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver" input_down_btn = "16" input_driver = "udev" input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8" input_exit_emulator_btn = "9" input_l2_btn = "6" input_l3_btn = "11" input_l_btn = "4" input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0" input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0" input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1" input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1" input_left_btn = "13" input_load_state_btn = "4" input_menu_toggle_btn = "3" input_r2_btn = "7" input_r3_btn = "12" input_r_btn = "5" input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2" input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2" input_r_y_minus_axis = "-3" input_r_y_plus_axis = "+3" input_reset_btn = "0" input_right_btn = "14" input_save_state_btn = "5" input_select_btn = "8" input_start_btn = "9" input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "13" input_state_slot_increase_btn = "14" input_up_btn = "15" input_x_btn = "3" input_y_btn = "2"

@samuelsson What are the contents of your /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg file?

Awesome. Thank you very much

@riverstorm It's the wrong way round in every emulator. I just learned to live with it so far, and play nintendo style, instead of sega style ;-)

Well it appears that TOSEC hasn't quite completed their datfiles for like Game Boy Advance, SNES and some other Nintendo systems, but they still have a huge set of dat files. They even tagged some bad dumps mainly for the Commodore 64 and Amiga as those tapes and disks aren't as robust as those ROM cartridges. Besides we may not know which ROMs are corrupt that can give out a irrevelant bug report to RetroPie as those bad dump ROMs are not wanted.

@loonyboi Thanks! I wasn't sure if you meant to mirror the controls by ES' UI or at file system level by copying their config files. So if I understand you correctly, setting them up identically in ES does suffice.

I have the same issue. Some PCSX2 team members have made a request about exiting from a gamepad buttons, while some others say "this is not a priority for the project" : https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/2364 I find it ridiculous, but... well, this is how some people think

Ok I've tested jslisten but only accept 4 button pressed at once and seems no button sequence working...

@surfingramjam Are you referring to sorting the games by 'how many times a game has been played' or 'what date the game was last played'? Either way, yes, it's doable in terms of manipulating the gamelist.xml. On the first case, by using the <playcount> tag. On the second case, by using the <lastplayed> tag. I could create a script (when I have the time :P) that would be launched from the RetroPie menu in EmulationStation to sort the games.

I spent some more time doing some tweaks to the theme, resized the PNG files, etc. It's now done and included in the ES Themes manager for easy download/install. I tried to keep the look and feel of CriticalCid's original BigBox port (which itself was a port of existing Hyperspin themes). A few things different though in order to work within the Emulation Station framework.

If I do sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade it also locks up doing the upgrade. But I was able to both of these in Raspbian and Raspbian lite.
