@mitu Forgot about this! Thanks for the reply! You're right the theme works fine with RetroPie 4.8 on the download page. I read that the theme would break....I don't dare update 4.8 though! (I may DD it beforehand and then try!).

Since you asked which theme it is (but it might be a little sketchy):

I certainly don't expect any support here for it.

Also when I installed 4.8 the slowdown when using shaders is much reduced and actually tolerable now. Happy days!

Next item on the agenda is to read up on overclocking the Pi3B+ because I wouldn't mind having run-ahead enabled.

Cheers mate!

@sleve_mcdichael That did it! Didn't realize there were additional entries we could've added. It now properly shows the "Sega Genesis" title on the screensaver for genesis/megadrive games. Thanks!

@sleve_mcdichael said in Stand-alone Genesis rom dir:

I don't know why you'd want to update an existing link actually, except for that's how it currently does

Then it falls back to a design decision/principle of the inventors: Does RetroPie-Setup follow a "desired state" approach (=always recreate symlink) or does it have some tolerations (=if existing leave untouched)?

Better letter-crown positioning.

@Floob stupid pandemic. One day though, you never know.

Hello All,
I'm dealing today with the same issue but my investigation shows so far that for me it is only related to PAL MD games

I opened a separate threat here with some more research : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34696/megadrive-50hz-games-with-genesis

The problem that I have if I use 1980 x 1020 @ 50Hz is that the monitor for whatever reason has black borders all around and I experience this on PI4B

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks. But, I just realized that I have been trying with incorrect roms. I got the whole collection from a friend who had them labeled as Genesis roms. But, they don't work in the Megadrive or Master System. I just downloaded a few Genesis roms, and they worked perfectly!

Look like you copied a gamelist.xml from another system, which is configured with genesis instead of megadrive. What exactly did you change before you got this message ?

@dankcushions ah wow I didn't know that. Still though, not sure I can get much overclock put of pi zero anyway, a few online mention 1080 or so, but I doubt that'll give a significant boost to be worth it.

@quicksilver I can do VERY minor graphic changes. I'll have to take a look at where that's at and see about changing it.

@dankcushions yes! I did the change when I found this new emulator was ported to libretro. At the end I found that the main problem in my lr-genesis-plus-gx performance is the bilinear filter. If I turn it off it's working 58-60 fps with very good sound quality. So as I see it maybe I overloaded my raspberry pi 3B too much, if I'm correct is definitely something to have in mind if you dont have a rpi3B+ or rpi4. SegaCD is working fine too now!

I'm having a similar issue with Sega CD / lr-genesis-plus-gx on the pi4. My files are .chd format. Worked in my previous build, verified the BIOS against the official documentation... nothing.

@lekzerum Any chance you could throw that file in a google drive link for me to try?

We could make it the default, since ScreenScraper is the default scraper in EmulationStation it didn't have such a great impact. The change required some code changes in EmulationStation for ScreenScraper, so that's why it wasn't added after the issue was reported.

I switched it to 1080p and it works perfectly. Thank you!

@dankcushions Thanks, I'll head over there.

@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.
