      @yserra said in EmulationStation: Not fullscreen:

      @DjDiabolik I also have a NUC and also got that same "no more fullscreen" EmulationStation issue. As @mitu said, it's because at one point an update from Ubuntu replaced the original GUI engine by Wayland.

      But I'm like you: at first, I had no idea what "Log out of the desktop session and choose Gnome on Xorg as the session type" was supposed to mean on my login screen. Then I found the solution explained with some screenshots here: https://beebom.com/how-switch-between-wayland-xorg-ubuntu/#:~:text=On the password screen%2C you,Xorg” to switch to Xorg.

      mmmmmmmmmm.. currently and recently on my NUC i have also used an extra tools.
      I have setup this:
      https://techithings.hashnode.dev/ubuntu-how-to-hide-top-bar-and-side-bar

      After add the 'Hide Top Bar' extension apparently can use Wayland whitout any issue.

      Can you give more details about your system ? See https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first; you don't have to list all gamepads in the info, but what is important is what platform are you running on and how are the gamepads connected.

      EmulationStation should save the controller info after the gamepad is configured, this is stored in $HOME/.emulationstation or (if you're using file shares to access your system) in \\retropie\configs\emulationstation. The filename is es_input.cfg and you can check its contents after each controller is configured to see if an entry for it is added.
      It's better to add them one by one and - after adding one controller - restart EmulationStation and check that the controller works fine.

      [..] when I run games it goes to the 4 arcade joysticks.

      That's probably because they're added as Player 1 - 4 in the order of their detection and they're always detected first.

      I have set retroarch to show 13 ports so I can finally see all the controllers

      Not sure how useful this is unless you want to play a 13 player game - not a very common scenario.

      . I also have the setup of the controllers get mixed up in emulation station and I have to go back into setup each one or restart the system.

      That may happen if different controllers have the same name and Vendor/Product IDs. The name and VID/PID serve as an identifier to the configuration of the controller (not only in EmulationStation, but emulators also). That's not something that can be fixed easily or by configuration: if 2 different controllers identify themselves similarly, then how can the system tell them apart ?

      @sleve_mcdichael I'll give it all a shot when I get home. I'm also going to try and reinstall the RetroPie image without Raspbian. See if I can get the lcd to load. I think it would make for better gaming in the long run.

      Please provide some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      An EmulationStation crash, as you're experience it, usually means the controllers are disconnecting during the initial scan. Are all joysticks plugged in directly into the Pi ? Are you using a good power source for the Pi ?

      I'm running a raspberry pi 3b+ with retropie version 4.5.1 along with canakit power supply and image that I put together from a bunch of other images.

      Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download, we don't provide support for 3rd party images.

      EmulationStation, ScummVM, and .svm files

      @ctrueden said in EmulationStation, ScummVM, and .svm files:

      The documentation says to nest each .svmfile inside its respective directory, and EmulationStation sees that, but it exposes that folder structure in the GUI. E.g.: "Day of the Tentacle" is in the ScummVM list, and when you click on it, there is then another "Day of the Tentacle" alone

      Forgive me if this post is too old, but I just wanted to share that I was very confused by this behavior when I installed lr-scummvm yesterday. In fact, I was certain that I must have found a bug in EmulationStation, but I couldn't find any open issues about other games disappearing when launching. Through luck, I eventually found this thread and finally understood what was actually happening -- I have not previously used directories for any of my other systems so I had no idea EmulationStation behaved this way.

      If anyone else stumbles upon this, you can workaround the issue for lr-scummvm by also naming the ROM directory itself with a .svm extension.

      Using the example from the documentation:

      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/Day of the Tentacle.svm/Day of the Tentacle.svm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/Day of the Tentacle.svm/MONSTER.SOU /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/Day of the Tentacle.svm/TENTACLE.000 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/Day of the Tentacle.svm/TENTACLE.001

      I am not sure if this works for regular scummvm though.

      @roslof I'm running into the same problem that you had originally with emulation station hanging and freezing. I'm trying to find the .cpp file that you noted so I can amend the vlc options to "original" but am having no luck. Can you point me to the directory where I would find the file or the command line prompt to load it

      @Clyde said in Video Snaps Screen Saver not working with USB service:

      So it shouldn't have anything to do with usbromservice, but it's good to hear that you could solve your problem.

      It doesn't, and without any hint on the actual configuration (Pi mode, RPI version, etc.), we're just speculating here.

      Okay.

      It appears screensaver controls only work with videos - is that right?

      Also, while it did initially work setting the screensaver to activate after 5 secs, it decided it didn't like it after a while, and it appears fine with it set back to the minute again. (I'm assuming the GUI not allowing me to go below a minute is something of a warning, here.)

      So now my main question really is: has anyone used Skraper recently? It seems great, but try as I might I cannot get the video resizing to work.
