The temperature (31 C) seems fine - I don't think that's the problem. Does this happen when the you're configuring the input in EmulationStation, after the first boot ?

Okay. I was able to fix this by re-installing RetroArch. This doesn't explain what went wrong the first time, but I'm glad I get to enjoy this wonderful emulator now. Feel free to delete this thread. Keep up the good work!

The way RetroPie manages this is by running an additional script after the input configuration phase - see here. The script then reads the es_temporaryinput.cfg file and generates auto-configuration for various emulators - see the script here. You can probably create a similar utility (in Delphi/Pascal) that parses the es_temporaryinput.cfg file and generates configurations for the emulators you need.

@mitu - Hey, that's nice, many thanks for the tip! I'll be adding it to my FBNeo list. Sometimes I miss those numbered ROM's at the beginning of the list as 3countb comes before 20pacgal for example, thinking it's not in the list. Computers and their sorts! :)

@niners4952 Note that the Pi4 support is still in a work in progress, so you'll have to perform a manual installation (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/). Even so, expect some things not to work or have bugs.

@cedric5555 I tried the game in mame2003plus. Audio is not perfect but it's there. If you shoot while the intro music to level 1 is played, the music is cut until the main level 1 music starts, then it seems to be fine. With fb-neo, overall all the volume was a bit lower. when the intro music is played and you shoot, the music is not interrupted and you can't hear your shooting until the main level music starts. I don't know which one's right, but fb-neo might be the better one. I'm using a pi4 so it might be too slow on a pi3.

Ok thanks for the reply. I will do that. Thanks

Copy that. Thanks anyways, appreciate the response.

@mitu I think I got it! There was an odd line in /all/retroarch.cfg that was turning the controllers off or something. Anyway, I can escape the games with hot keys again. At least I can get the side buttons to work in arcade/mame games as well. Thanks for your help and for this site as well! I read that controller page about 100 times and it finally sank in enough to get this working right!

You need to remove then reinstall retropie manager from RetroPie-Setup.

@AmigaMoreThanCLi If this is the StarTech.com USB to M.2 SATA Converter, it only supports SATA M.2 drives. Samsung EVO 970 Plus is an NVMe drive. It will never work in this board. You need a SATA M.2 drive.

@Sjaak i don't see how - here's the install script for the manager: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/retropie-manager.sh#L25 notice how it points to a different repo to the one you're seeing in your error. but you clearly are on latest commit of the retropie script. very strange! hmm, maybe you need to uninstall retropie-manager first?

@suikodentir Care to share how exactly? It may help others in the future.

@Sparkathor said in Minimize games selection with removing them from sd card: Would it be easier if I have a couple thousand games to just pick the few I want available as kids games then switch to "kidgame" mode? Yes, this is how Kid mode works. Can I make a new collection and fill it with those games tagged as kid games and then have only that single collection show up when in "kidgame" mode? Even if they are for different emulators? No, the systems from which the game are picked will also be shown.

@mitu Just a quick update. I compared the .bin/.cue files on my pi to the database. It turned out, that half of the .bin file was corrupted so I just had to put them again on my Pi0. And now MGS runs pretty well. Thanks for the help! :)
