UPDATE

well still dont have it working. but i have tried different ways to have the game ran and compiled and so for it all ends the same. The system just sitting at either the runcommnd window or black screen.

it depends on how the game is ran.

i name shell to lunch the game directly. so it was not running with runcommand. it just ends at a black screen.
i even compiled with opengl turned off. same thing.

so i think something it the code for the port it self does not like ES and its not restarting.
bummer since it work just fine with my Pi3

@ctrueden Hey having the exact same issue as you, you mention modifying the shell script. where do I find said shell script to add your adjustments?
Thanks for any advice.

Starbound, Crea, Darkout all are similar to Terraria. Luckily I found VeePN service to bypass all restrictions and protect my privacy while playing. useful tool for any gamer.

Not much to update here, but to say I've been running this build on retropie 4.6 for over 3 days continuously without any freeze issues. So reverting to an earlier build fixed the issue.

@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.

@mitu ok great! Glad I wasn’t messing something up

@vinnie881 said in Xbox 360 controller disconnects when exiting es:

I found this is a known issue with xpad driver,

Do you have a reference ? Which issue are you referring to ?

@brnsct24 Why don't you do it the other way around - you can install the desktop from RetroPIe and start it from EmulationStation - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go.

Thxs again @mitu you allways help.

@BuZz i am running the most recent build of retropie on ununtu 18.04 built yesterday from source.

I see there is an 8bitdo option under retropie settings bluetoorh, that writes to bluetooth rules. I assume this may be the culprite as the docs specify if this is not done the controller would not work on a restart.
