@sleve_mcdichael said in Why do some versions of Retroarch look so different?:

@TPR that's the "menu driver" setting. RP default use the rgui driver cause it lightweight and perform well on low powered hardware like RasPi. I think the blue one in your picture is xmb. Other choices are glui or ozone.

retroarch.cfg excerpt:

# Menu driver to use. ("rgui", "xmb", "glui") menu_driver = "rgui"

Found it! Awesome... thanks! For some reason I never knew this was an option.

I have confirm this issue with Bullseye 32 bit with RPi3 and 4, but it doesn't happen with Bookworm 64 bit with RPi5. I will try to build 64 bit for RPi3 to check.

@mitu ah I shall try that many thanks buddy:)

Update: I did clean the code a bit

@saccublenda Thanks. Don't have a keyboard plugged on my bartop so I will use the Quick menu / options solutions...I can live with that.

Thanks.

@linkseo
my two cents. Work on ARKOS which uses full version of Retroach...

Hi all, I tried many ways to Save and have persistent HotKey binds. AN dthe only way I was able to get it persistent, even after retroarch reboots and new confirg saves, over rides is to add the values on the retroarch.cfg. and for good measure I also pasted my values in CORE and Folder Remaps and core cfg. IE NES.cfg and Nestopia.cfg (remaps on like nes.rmp) I think that last part is overkill,, but I tried everithing and this is now working so overkill made it.
here are my confiig for my Ambernic rg351p running ARKOS?

input_hold_fast_forward_axis = "23"
input_hold_slowmotion_axis = "24"
input_rewind = "26"
input_save_state = "20"
input_state_slot_decrease = "h0left"
input_state_slot_increase = "h0right"
input_shader_prev = "h0down"
input_shader_next = "h0up"

Hope it helps. The H0 values are for the left D-pad. That took a while to figure out.

Thank you so much!

@JRX88 @mitu Thank you both! Been looking this for a while.

@sirhenrythe5th I actually had another think about the key combination for select +x and realised this is a
hotkey + X.
My hotkey is set to the little button on the bottom right of the 8bitdo controller.
I pressed this button + X and boom into the GUI I go!

Thanks for leading me in the right direction

After installing a translation KIOSK mode stop saving favorites, anyway i can activate this "bug" again?

@thedavegray it should be the Button you configured as "a".
It takes some time after you pressed it, the mapping is saved and that takes some seconds.

@mitu Thanks mitu! Makes sense.

@Mikey123 So.., right now do you still need help or have you figured out how the core remapping works ?

You're probably talking about Webtropie :

OK, thank you

@markyh444 said in Pi 3B. Installed Pixel UI but 'SD Card Copier' is missing under Accessories? Help please.:

@njweb Win32DiskImager is perfect for backing up your Pi. Most people on here use it, and I've made about 10 copies of my SD cards over the years when building and testing new things out in various projects.

I'd highly recommend ditching whatever image came with your Pi though and starting with the base Retropie from the site. If you run into more problems and ask for help here it wont be supported, plus nobody will know what has been done to the image before it was sold to you to try and help you if we can.

If you are happy with tinkering and exploring things for yourself though, you wont be disappointed with starting from the image on this site and making it your own!

Good point, thanks. Just concerned with potential compatibility issues with EmulationStation and installed emulators, settings etc. if I upgrade Retropie (will look up steps again).
