@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 ?

@bic said in Emulation Station Crashed!:

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.

@mitu the default, no frills just with cover art image and description

@marky161 said in Adding other system roms to Arcade (Dragons Lair/Space Ace):

Everything perfect! Time to configure controller and button mappings!

Great news there. Glad everything worked out.

@boolean im always wanting to make the games better
if you figure out a way to make the sound better.

post on how you did it and i can add it to my script so everyone can enjoy it.
plus it gives me something to figure out :)

FTR here [1] are some other observations to consider on the Mass add... via GUI (first paragraph). So it seems advisable to review/clean the list of detected games after such run.

@kookamunga thanks. Coincidentally I just got that game today and was trying it out earlier. It looks pretty cool and seems to be in the vain of what I'm looking for.

@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

@mitu Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for!

@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.

Not that I know of.

@dankcushions Yeah I was banging my head against the wall last night, finally realized I needed to use the good old Tab menu to set the keys in mame2003.

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.

@mitu ok thanks I will try running it direct from bootup

Please stop spamming the forum topics - this is not how a forum works and it's rude.
You didn't provide any of the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, please do so and we'll be able to provide better assistance.

@Asmodeus04 I'm going to drop this for now. unless you you are using a CRT, the 120 hertz mode is not worth messing with. It's too choppy.

Is ReDream the one with the GUI?

I used FlyCast and it .... worked.... One of the emulators crashed on me but I don't recall which one. I'll try ReDream again as it did load but seemed a little goofy but that's probably due to my inexperience with it. Took me a few minutes to realize the mouse was working and had to exit using the commands and not through RetroArch. I'll give it another whirl.

Part of the problem is not really having anything off the top of my head that I would specifically play on Dreamcast. Nearly everything over the years that I had has either aged terribly and not worth the trouble or has been updated or remade on better systems.

PSO has been redone and done better, Skies of Arcadia is on GameCube, etc.
