Pressing select is equivalent to the screensaver-start event, sleep is triggered after the configured timeout.

So I found a solution that I think works (at least for me.) I changed the entire configs.hdmi>daphne folder permissions to 555 and when I add a new controller, I get this error:

daphne input.jpg

However it does NOT overwrite my current dapinput.ini file. I can't see anything else in that directory that it would need to write to anyway.

I tested all 17 Daphne games and they all worked and they all kept my controller configs even after configuring a few new controllers so I think this is at least a fix for my situation.

Thanks for the input everyone! It was helpful to put me on the right path!

I can now create .fs-uae files succesfully! Many thanks!

@daviddraper Just clone the repository only once:

git clone https://gitlab.com/jengun/hurrican

and execute make in the hurrican/src directory to build the binary. To update use

git pull

in the hurrican directory ... I'll try to fix at least a few small bugs, but I'm not an expert on C++ and OpenGL: so there won't be any major changes. Please use GitLab to report issues, not this forum ...

Please don't re-post the same topic multiple times.

@mitu Interesting, I thought I had to install it back then (or whenever I installed RP 4.6). But one tends to forget such one-time installs, so … 😉

@tpr glad you like it. for basic stuff it was really good.

I just wanted to answer here and ask for more information, then I noticed that you already gave it in your second thread. Please don't open multiple threads about one topic.

I was not able to figure this out. For my purposes, I wanted to restrict access to the other lists anyway as this machine is for a workplace arcade setup so I wanted a very straightforward setup, so I updated the ES config to not allow the B button to work. It loads All Games by default, and I turned off the ability to go from system to system, so for now it's working for me. Thanks for the input that was received.

I thought those errors and the aplay results would be descriptive enough, but I think I left out some key pieces of info. I had added a couple of sound files based on this forum when my first solutions didn't work. I went back and deleted those files and purged pulseaudio. I also set my audio to Headphones in es_settings.cfg. Everything seems to be working, though my splashscreen video is much louder than emulation station.

Edit: This feels like the dumbest question ever. How do I mark something solved? As far as I can tell I'm supposed to edit the title of the thread, but I'm not seeing that option. My only topic tools are to delete the post...

@daviddraper said in MayFlash F500 configuration:

@agrajag Good times. I use my keyboard as my primary controller for my Daphne roms. Intellivision, because of its unique rotating dist controller, strikes me as a pain to use with a fight stick. I have used an 8BitDo SNES style gamepad to play Intellivision games, but it is not ideal.

David,

Dumb question: How do you go about changing controllers? That part of Retropie is a mystery to me at this point. Everything I have running is setup to run on the Mayflash and since it's seen as a generic Xbox controller (and my other controllers are almost all Xbox wired and wireless actual controllers) I'm really concerned about being able to easily switch back and forth.

For example, I want to play the game Dungeon Explorers on SegaCD or TurboGrafx with four of us, but I have NO idea how to essentially remove the Mayflash, plug in four game controllers and have it all just work without screwing up all the work I did to get the Mayflash to work.

thank you!

lucky I took an image to restore from...

BTW - the issue appear with his repo is that if I install his GSplus, it forces an update from raspberry.org and deletes or renames(?) the opt/config folder!

I'll post there. thanks again for the info how to revert.

@Peeteris said in Switching Emulation Station to the TurboGrafx-16 and Genesis logos doesn't work:

IS there any changes in newest Retropie that breaks this functionality?

No, nothing changed here. You're supposed to re-install one of the systems' emulators for the change to take effect.

@Lolonois The PR has some users adding their metrics for the PS feature. Since then there have been more Pis released and every Pi that's more powerful than the previous one will use less cpu % while ideling.

The main concept of is is that is allows switching from a vsynced rendering to an event driven rendering. It makes no sense to keep rendering the same screen if no changes are present. Thus saving cpu cycles and increasing the battery life. on PiZero there are significant savings (40-60% based on theme). I implemented this feature cos my handheld build was overheating while doing nothing but ES. Animations are not a priority on a battery life focused build and Instant PS mode almost doubled my standby time. ie time spend browsing games on ES.

Please refer to the PR and https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11304/testers-needed-power-saver-features-pr-172 where we have had extensive discussions and testing for the same

Thanks for the update.

@E3L1 said in Can’t built emulationstation:

@Clyde it’s more.... why can’t raspberrypi release a SBC with a GPU faster that 300mhz.....

Because the Raspberry Pi was never meant to be powerful. It was (and is) developed first and foremost to be an educational device "to promote teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries" (Wikipedia).

@mitu thank you, Mitu! I bought another memory card and it works!! You're the best :)
