You'll have to give more details about how you set it up - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. How did you copy the ROMs to your RetroPie installation and where ? What format are they - .iso, .cue/.bin ?

@Sparkathor said in Minimize games selection with removing them from sd card: Would it be easier if I have a couple thousand games to just pick the few I want available as kids games then switch to "kidgame" mode? Yes, this is how Kid mode works. Can I make a new collection and fill it with those games tagged as kid games and then have only that single collection show up when in "kidgame" mode? Even if they are for different emulators? No, the systems from which the game are picked will also be shown.

@Darksavior awesome. Thanks for the help.

@TheBossT said in Retropie 4.4 HDMI Problem: Garbled Sound When Playing ANY Console/Emulator: Also if anyone can maybe give some alternatives to bluetooth audio as the lag ain't great, that will be greatly appreticated! There aren't many solutions out there and it seems this solution not only breaks other audio outputs but also is unusable due to the lag. I'm almost certain the Pi dosen't have enough horsepower to emulate games and stream bluetooth audio, as per the tutorial above I have completely removed it and I recommend that you should too. Let me know how you get on and if you find an alternative that doesn't stutter.

I'm glad to tell you guys that this was a Server Error... i had to manually add sources to the sources.list file so it can download the needed files elsewhere... It's working fine now.

right, so decided stuff it and start all over again. redownloaded 4.4 and started afresh. roms workeing fine, so following eta prime guide, i used steven selp scraper. snes, megadrive etc all scraped fine, arcade is missing loads, but no issue playing roms after. am i okay to now just use skyscraper for arcade only or do you have to delete the previous steven selp arcade scrape info first.

Here is how I did it in OSMC (it is related to retropie because i have used retrosmc scripts, based on retropie, as a part of the solution): Install OSMC and SSH into it. Then... UDPAGRE OSMC TO KODI LEIA sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list (add the following line in the very first line of the file) deb http://download.osmc.tv/dev/gmc-18 gmc-18 main (to save the file, press CTRL+O, ENTER, CTRL+X) wget -qO - http://download.osmc.tv/dev/gmc-18/pubkey.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade dpkg -l | grep mediacenter-osmc | awk '{ print $3 }' (the last command should show OSMC version 17, which has KODI version 18) INSTALL RETROSMC AND PS3 DRIVERS cd /home/osmc wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcobit/retrosmc/master/install-retrosmc.sh . chmod +x install-retrosmc.sh ./install-retrosmc.sh Go to "manage packages" > drivers > ps3controller > install from source (wait) > configuration/options > install ps3 controller (clone support gasia) > pair ps3 controller (clone support gasia) (follow instructions) > Then "connect controller through usb", then disconnect usb, and pair via bluetooth… It may not pair yet. UNBLOCK BLUETOOTH apt-get install rfkill rfkill unblock all hciconfig hci0 up MAKE JOYSTICK RECONNECT AUTOMATICALLY IN THE FUTURE sudo su echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input",ACTION=="remove",RUN+="/bin/systemctl restart sixad"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/999-sixad.rules sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger sed -i 's/exit 0//bin/systemctl restart sixad\nexit 0/g' /etc/rc.local INSTALL EMULATOR ADDONS From the Kodi 18 (Leia) main menu, click on the Add-ons icon (open box icon). Select Install From Repository, Click on the Kodi Add-on, Repository, Click on Game Add-ons, Select Emulators, From the giant list of emulators you now see, you have to install the ones you wish to use. If you can't find the "Emulators" section, some distros don't compile them. The script install-retrosmc.sh (above) may have some hidden menus to download and install all cores (emulators) in one shot. Give it a try. Also, check under kodi settings "my addons" to see if you don't already have all the emulators installed. Now, install some other game addon (research about your options!) which uses "Kodi retroplayer" to launch games. It will require some emulators addons (also called libreto cores) to have been downloaded and installed already on kodi.

@rubberdinghy You'll need to ask the seller to provide the Raspberry Pi version - https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php?#getpico8 - and then follow the instruction on their site to add a new system in Emulationstation.

@mitu said in Regional dependencies on ROMs across different emulators: The emulator should be able to scale it to your native TV screen's resolution. EDIT: What I've other people recommend - and it sort of makes sense - is to try and run the NTSC version of a ROM when possible. NTSC ran at almost 60hz, similar to the modern displays. Bingo - that's exactly what I just did before I'm reading this :-) Set boot config to CEA-4, removed default emulator video choice from on-game startup menu and sorted out my ROMs so now it's all USA (NTSC) versions. Now it's all perfect. As always: Thanks buddy for your good explanation and clarification.

@MarkHighPeak Can you add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

@retox 3rd party images are not supported. You didn't read the sticky topics as agreed when registering. (Edit: your account isn't new so you should be aware of the forum rules).

I knew for pico but notre for SNES. I don't think the SNES Doc is really clear about rpi 0 or 1. Btw, l'm not so lazy to thank tout.

@mitu @Cybrasty so I discover that there is even more to explore. Thanks for the detailed answer and additional links to get to know more. Much appreciated.

@hiulit said in Runcommand shows same name for different emulators: @mitu Could it be possible to launch a ROM without asking which emulator to use? I mean, when I select a gb game, can I know it's a gb game and consequently launch its respective emulator? Sure, you can do that, but you'll have to basically add each game to the emulators.cfg and specify its emulator, just like when normally choosing the emulator through the Runcommand launch menu. Runcommand does not have a 'match by wildcard', but a 'match by name' based on the emulators.cfg file. The downside is that each game must be explicitly added with its emulator - you can do this through your script, but any subsequent game added in the new system will have to be processed again by your script. Again, much easier would be to create a Collection and this will automatically taken care of by Emulationstation (i.e. launch the correct emulator). You're basically re-inventing a custom Collection from scratch, but trying to shoehorn it in the Runcommand launch sequence. Can I have more than one default in the same emulators.cfg? No, that's not possible.

@benjiman You can use the File Manager - in the RetroPie system menu - to look in the file directly on the Pi, but it's easier if you have a PC and connect via file shares at \\retropie\configs\all\emulators.cfg.

@mitu Nothing , i only put my usb stick in the raspberry. But i had it and install it from new now its working like u said . Thanxx Mitu :)

@salabros said in Trouble loading Emulators on Retro pie: I ended up having to reflash the micro USB it was damaged aparetnly You mean the micro SD card ? Glad it worked out, welcome to RetroPie !

@douga Thank you!

You'd probably be better off researching if you need 128GB at all to start with. The fact that some emulators are listed as working does not mean the games are actually 100% playable, so you need to think if you're okay with stunted performance. The demanding systems are probably better dealt with on a single-game basis, checking compatibility wikis and all that.

@herb_fargus Fair point, Herb.
