I'm not an expert in overvclocking, but if the same values have been working without issues, on the same PI, they should be ok with the new version.

@mitu said in Removed emulationstation-dev help: @paffley Just install Emulationstation (the regular package) from the core packages section. Thanks @mitu I installed a fresh ES from binary then had to re-add es_systems.cfg content from an old backup I had (modified). All working now thank you! keep up the super work!

Looks like a permissions problem or a funky named controller that's not saved or possibly other problems (disk full ?) that prevent Emulationstation to save the controller configuration. My advice is to start with a clean image and work from there - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.

Something is still broke. I've done a fresh install updated and then tried to pair PS3 controllers. Although it doesn't come up with the blue screen saying emulationstation has crashed anymore, I cannot pair more than 2 controllers. Where as before I've always had 4 controllers setup with retropie. Thanks Rob

Thanks for the reply. Not the expected answer, but at least some clarification on the status quo. Works for me. I will pay respect to what is found as formatting in a file (and not procject atm) and will format my edits accordingly. And also pledge to other PR issuers to do the same (if they haven't done so in the past). However, if the maintainers ( @herb_fargus , @petrockblog @psyke83 @BuZz ... ) have a informal list of format styles ready (or want to discuss/collect them here) I am more than willing to transform them in a formal formatter config with a formatting tool is easily available for the Linux and Windows platform. Cheers,

@mitu @GoldManSex778 - Thanks for the advice. I converted with handbrake, basically opened the video in h/b and ran it through without messing around with the settings. Now both the portrait and landscape videos display with the correct aspect ratio and work with omxplayer Thanks so much.

@GoldManSex778 said in Space oddity help: It may be that OMX doesn't follow those parameters for some reason, As @dudleydes said, omxplayer doesn't obey the z-index parameters and always renders above everything else - it's practically rendering the video on top of ES's textures. Changing the z-index doesn't help. However, the recent vlc versions (in Stretch) use the GPU HW decoder so switching off the OMX HW renderer might not be so bad.

@mitu That worked. Thank you!

@quicksilver It might be... However it's connected to an hdmi monitor. As I mentioned, the hiss is slightly more audible when I use, CRT for an example, when the metadata is scrolling. It was less audible when I switched to the Pixel theme.

@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"
