@obsidianspider I got distracted with other projects, should really get back on it

your sdram overclocks could cause sd corruption too i think. possibly the overvoltage also. personally i'd remove all forms of overclocking if you're seeing corruption/instability.

@Soryn79 said in Quick and easy guide for adding music to Emulatonstation on RetroPie. Noob friendly!:

I recommend changing:

while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done (sleep 10; mpg123 -Z /home/pi/bgm/*.mp3 >/dev/null 2>&1) & emulationstation #auto

to this: (the --no-splash is optional)

emulationstation --no-splash & while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done (mpg123 -Z /home/pi/bgm/*.mp3 >/dev/null 2>&1) #auto

Changing it so that it starts after ES loads just makes more sense to me. This makes sure that the music will always start 1 second after the video ends regardless of video length.

Hi there, I tried your version and whilst it works beatifully on startup, it breaks emulationstation when pressing F4, it just hangs on a blank screen.

I thought I'd let you know.

Any ideas?

Best!

@theink
Can you share the source file of your instruction manual for your arcade ?

Thx in advance

I know, I follow TWiT and that bradcasting network emits in a national US radio, many users do not want to see RetroPie widely known because of the policies of Nintendo for example but being broadcasted nation wide via a radio station and internationaly via internet, the project is widely known

@PetroRie It won't affect shaders, which control this setting independently.

Hi !!
Super useful.....thanks.
But ili9341 is now included in RASPBIAN STRETCH kernel, so I took off from the fbcp installation and did work.

But I noticed that the screen refresh rate is too slow.
In this new scenario, where do I do the tweaks you suggest?

@rbaker Regarding Step 4, simply restarting EmulatiomStation will do the trick. No need to restart the whole system. At least in the last versions of RetroPie.

@cj2tech said in General User guide/Manual Inclusion Suggestion.:

@ebtalk if you do use this i hope you leave the credit section untouched.

Certainly. I was going to make more visual additions to it. Not sure Kids would want to read as much so my plan is to include screenshots on how to shutdown, navigate, etc.

If anyone gets the error "pacdrive: error while loading shared libraries: libhid.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" with Retropie 4.4 on a Raspberry Pi, use this command to fix it:

sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libhid.* /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

It will move the libhid files to the correct location where pacdrive can find them.
