@mitu said in Retropie_Setup errors after failed update: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git Great tip: it worked ! Currently updating all installed cores. Thank you so much !

Looks like a custom color palette. Which emulator ? What RA version ? Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Hey hey, maybe, I have found the solution: In the MAIN MENU / SOUND SETTINGS / AUDIO CARD, I selected <DEFAULT> because the entry was null <>. Just below, in the AUDIO DEVICE, I selected <PCM>. With this config, the error message disapeared. My config is: sound via a HDMI/VGA convertor, jack to mini-amplificator (RCA). Great, no ?

Update: I found the culprit! Turns out that the file libretro.h had this struct definition twice: struct retro_midi_interface { retro_midi_input_enabled_t input_enabled; retro_midi_output_enabled_t output_enabled; retro_midi_read_t read; retro_midi_write_t write; retro_midi_flush_t flush; }; This confused make since you can't redefine a struct once you declare it, causing errors and an eventual crash. Removing one of the struct definitions appears to have fixed this issue.

@jareth247 You should open a new topic and provide the latest update log, as described in this topic. And please also add more information about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Name it mysetup.img If that fails, put it on a filepath with no spaces.

@inky1003 I think you have the wrong perception about RetroPie. RetroPie is not an OS in itself, it sits on top of a full OS, you can install it on an existing Raspbian, or start with the RetroPie image and add additional software later (quoted from the front page). You can use the full Raspbian (desktop) image and install RetroPie on it, or vice-versa - start with the RetroPie image (recommended) and then add the desktop (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go). If you have installed RetroPie on your existing Raspbian image, you can just start the setup script and do the configurations described in the docs - it's not something included just in the RetroPie image. Btw, 3.6 is such an old release, no wonder the setup script cannot determine the platform you're running (probably due to the newer kernel included)

And please use markdown when posting logs. Click the question mark in top right of edit box for help. Use a code block to improve formatting. This is detailed in the post linked at the top of every forum page (and in my signature below). Thanks.

@pjft Thanks, I'll try it today and let you know.

@mitu you told them to pacth it?

Is that the solution for me?

Retropie4.4 's support of Xbox 360 controllers is broken Xpad works just fine. Xboxdrv has known issues with multiple controllers but that isn't something the retropie project maintains.

Source install is not working ? I remember the same problem a few weeks back and it was an upstream problem due to their recent changes to the code. Use the binary install if you're on a Raspberry Pi.

@hockmiester Use a supported distro - Debian/Ubuntu (or an Ubuntu spin off like Xubuntu/Lubuntu) and try again to install RetroPie.

@vance Even trying those URLs in a browser returns errors. Did you run sudo apt-get update first? Maybe the mirrors have been changed for China. If that doesn't work you can try commenting out the Chinese mirrors and adding alternatives from this list https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors to /etc/apt/sources.list I'm not sure how that will work in China though so...

Doh, OK, re-running the script after rebooting fixed it. I must not have rebooted since updating the kernel version. Now I can run jstest /dev/input/js0and see the buttons work as well as shutdown view soft power switch and see LED indicate status. I'm not sure if this post will be useful to others, but one never knows. In any case, the process of writing it out probably helped me figure out what went wrong.

@mitu Certainly noted. I honestly never really drew a distinction between both sets of info. I just always assumed one was as good as the other. As I said, I'll definitely keep it in mind and use the pretty docs page for future reference.

@mikozzz Can you check the log file to see where ES gets stuck ? It's in /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt.

Suggest your power supply. A compatible power supply and one that is GUARANTEED to give the extra power the PI3B+ needs are very different I could buy an adaptor here in UK for cheaper than you paid that claims to be 2.5A but under load would drop drastically causes no end of grief. Great for low power device like charging mobile phones but hopeless for a high power device that NEEDS a good steady supply like the PI3B+. People seem to rate the CanaKit 2.5A power supplies, maybe look for them http://www.wirelesshack.org/what-is-a-good-power-supply-for-the-raspberry-pi-3.html I personally bought an official 2.5A power supply for the PI3B I have, a lot more expensive than a 'standard' power supply I could have usually bought, but its never given me any complaints after reading power supplies can give lots of strange problems as they work then don't or random errors My set-up doesn't stress the supply in any way and never had had weird instructions,. I'm overclocked to the limit, running a 1TB USB powered external hard drive for RetroPie, running OSMC for KODI and running a USB powered wireless dongle for the PS3 compatible joypad, plus USB keyboard. All works fine, plus a tiny fan to keep the huge heatsink cool
