sorry i havent readed the read-this-first. page im new here hope you doint mind. if you want to know this is the exact message lvl0: Error creating SDL window! Could not get EGL display lvl0: Renderer failed to initialize! lvl0: Window failed to initialize!

@XionXero said in Controller Help Needed: Just got my Raspberry Pi 3+ and a preloaded flash drive from amazon. So, you don't use the official Retropie image? Third party images are not supported here, because they may differ from the official one and thus, may have problems which the official doesn't. If you haven't installed the official image, you should do so. (But don't forget to backup any data that you don't want to lose before that!) Furthermore, if you bought Retropie, it's illegal and you were cheated by the seller, because the Retropie license forbids selling of any kind. Sorry to put it that bluntly, but it is like it is. If you're already using the official image, just ignore this post. 😌

@Towerson25 Maybe related to overscan settings https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Overscan

@mitu lol, i didn't know that, ty

@mitu sorry, must have read too quickly. I was thinking one credit per each time the emulator is started, and then drop a credit when the game exits.

@Eyeball_36 I get something similar sometimes with n64 games. I'm not sure what was causing it but I have suspected the resolution changing from my default settings to the rom defined settings when launching a rom has something to do with it. Are the videos forcing the resolution to change? Also have you tried enabling/disabling dismpmax?

@Rubencn1234 Looks like a corrupted SD card - can you show a screenshot ?

OK, so it seems it's the old problem with video from ProgettoSnaps, recorded from MAME. They're encoded with a rarely used color encoding space that's not supported by the hw Mpeg4 decoder on the Pi (yuv444p), so that's why the video display isn't working. There are several scripts to re-encode these videos (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15764 is one) to make them show correctly in Emulationstation. What's new is that the VLC based (internal) video player in Emulationstation doesn't show them either and it used to work. I guess that since the VLC player got patched by RPF to also use HW accelerated video decoding, the same omxplayer behavior happens. For now, converting the videos is the only solution. Using `ffmpeg, this can be done quickly with ffmpeg -i <input_video> -pix_fmt yuv420p <output_video> but any of the conversion scripts available in the forums will do.

@mitu i ve managed to fix it, it was clearly a faulty sd card thing going on... thanks anyways :3

Even the Bezel issue has been solved, it shows the MD stuff as uninstalled while are properly installed...

@Halvhjearne Not, I not have. This happened with all roms scraped with Universal_XML_Scraper64 . This not making any sense, is not a big deal, I know, all roms are working fine, but, should be more perfect without it. I really wanted to see all rom in a list and not inside that "fake" folder named nes...

@MisterMints Okey thx must have misunderstood the tutorial hehe..

@cjohnson26 the Pie will boot and the function of these few lines are just to ask status for a sensor after the has booted. But for your idea to work as on off switch for booting up a device this also works but you do not need a code or something. Just connect the hall effect sensor like a switch on a power device like the Mausberry or a Pimoroni on off SHIM and it will act like a button press. For switching of you need to ask status then you can use that code.

@mitu Thank you very much for the reply!! The bad thing is that I do not know how to write code ... and I'm not sure where I should write the commit (eaac037a9e331e8b26a77239d8dd96b76f86515e) and with what syntax ... Please, if it is not too much trouble, if I could write the line that I should include in the ir-picodrive.sh and in what position, I compile and see if it works !!! many thanks!!!

@danny said in Can someone help me: I only have a problem. Games are stuck, what can that be.? We need more information from you. That information is detailed at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first Can someone give met a goodsite for download the good games...? Linking or even discussing the location of copyrighted game files is strictly forbidden here. Please read the forum rules.

@randall8686 Use the Docs, there is a section for each emulator (system) including the file extension understood for earch one. By now, ROMs have standardized the format and extension, most of them can be zipped and the emulator will read them.

@edmaul69 nope there isn't. @samuelcole what do you mean that you cant download it? We need more info. Are you on a PI?

@benjiman You can use the File Manager - in the RetroPie system menu - to look in the file directly on the Pi, but it's easier if you have a PC and connect via file shares at \\retropie\configs\all\emulators.cfg.

@thedatacereal came with a kit also it’s an lcd monitor
