@reverieware give it a shot. it cant hurt.

as for adding things to the Retropie setup. as far as i have read from the devs. just submit the script through the github and they review it. but i think they are more worried about getting things running smooth then adding more ports. at the moment at least

that why i just hold on to anything i make. maybe one day ill send them in

@mitu
Thanks, works well!

@DNVB It's an add-on package, it's not part of the RetroPie-Setup script and it wasn't maintained by the project. Sometime ago, the original repository was deleted and we created a copy for it under the RetroPie project, so that it wouldn't disappear completely.

Looks like the binary has been created already @mitu. Installed and working like a charm.
Thank you!

Hi. Is this where you post issues with this script?

Seems since I last upgraded to Retroarch 1.9.5 lr-puae stopped loading .lha based files. Worked perfectly before this.

Every game I pick now opens, starts to load... then pops up an black Amiga DOS error screen that says..

unknown command FAILAT

1

*** nevermind... it was the CPU setting left on A500. Should have been A1200 or Auto.

But, if anyone ever sees this error message... take a look in Options and check your CPU settings.

Thread necro, but same problem, and a way to resolve...

Get into the command prompt go to the ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary directory Delete the old retropie-manager.sh file Download the correct script from the github repo (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/retropie-manager.sh) Go back to RetroPie setup again and now the script should work and install retropie-manager.

("code" is below if needed)

F4 cd ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary rm -r retropie-manager.sh wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/retropie-manager.sh

Sorry for the extreme late reply! In reference to my original issues, I got the controller issue fixed (Yay!) but my other problem remains in that I cant get Beavis and Butthead to load from the start. From my last post, I discovered that the game does in fact run properly IF I load a save file from it, however, I get booted back to the main EmulationStation screen if I try to start a game from the beginning. Here are the contents of my runcommand file:

Parameters:

Using joystick: SWITCH CO.,LTD. USB Gamepad
Virtual keyboard pack 'vkeybd_default' loaded successfully

When I try and start a new game and get booted back to the main screen, this line of text briefly shows up...

*** Error in `/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm': double free or corruption (out): 0x7ee9b2d0 ***

Any ideas, thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

@mitu said in Build module of lr-yabause needs some lovin':

I had a PR ready, but forgot to submit it - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2831.

Ha! That's what I'm confused about :) I'd a look at the repo a few hours ago and thought "damn old, doesn't compile, fix needed", but now it's pull'ed and up to date. Thanks for that. But I loved waking you up :)

@mitu Ah, that scuppers those plans then. I think I'll give this up as a failed experiment. I did manage to get Kodi to launch from my green button by importing psutil and check_output and changing the code to

espid = int(check_output(["pidof","-s","emulationstation"])) es = psutil.Process(espid) es.suspend() Kodi = subprocess.Popen("/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Kodi.sh") Kodi.wait es.resume()

But then the script would no longer start from my crontab on boot so not really usable.

@mitu
Okay, I know that now.
It seems like it would tell you something different than ask for user if the repository was missing or deleted.

I have made a verbose version of retropieXstation called retropieXstation-verbose.

It is created to find problems if roms or emulators do not work.

Beware : It only works with retroarch libretro cores and zipped rom files do not always work !

You can download it with 'wget' in your terminal and then puts it on your desktop :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/retropieXstation/master/retropieXstation-verbose.py -P $HOME/Desktop

Instructions on how to run the script are in the script itself.
Just load it in a text editor and read the text.

Hope you all find this verbose script usefull.

Thanks Buzz!

Ok, I've updated script and had success to install mame2013-plus.
This topic may be closed, thank you!

Sorry really new to this, Its not a fix to the scripts just a add on for people to run to test their SD and USB read speeds. It looks like that is not the spot for me to submit the script. and what about Icon.png and adding in info to gamelist.xml?

<game> <path>./drivetest.sh</path> <name>Drive Speed Test</name> <desc>This script test the read speeds of your SD Card and or USB drive It will run 4 types of test when testing. Cached Reads, Buffered Disk Reads Direct Cached read, Direct disk reads</desc> <image>./icons/drivetest.png</image> </game>

I view this very differently I dont think the open projects will be effected.

Its the private closed ones that where the cash is for github. Imagine all the information ms can get from these private repos for sales and advertising and peek at code ect.

The company doesnt have a vey good past with anti competitive behavior it. The commercial end of github is where they will make the cash from. That is how github makes a profit before ms took it over as well it not all free when you go private
