@VictimRLSH That worked! Thank you very much for the help

@mitu
Thanks for the advice. I ended up re-installing on both cards. It worked just fine, set up the controllers, then tried to get back into ES, but the errors started again. Re-installed image again and worked fine, so far. So it's up and running, but not perfect.

Thanks for your help!

@JillSandwich said in Extra Emulators On RetroPie:

BBC micro

Can be emulated with advmess (part of advmame) or lr-mess, though there isn't an out-of-the-box configuration for them.

Super Grafix, and PCE-CD

Please add your system's details, as explained in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

A log file from the crash of the emulator - from /dev/shm/runcommand.log - would be helpful to diagnose the issue.

@mitu Hey mitu! Thanks for the suggestions. I figured it out after - I simply tried plugging it into a TV instead of my monitor, and no issues - I can see everything just fine. I think I had the wrong resolution settings perhaps, or maybe it was something to do with the high refresh rate. Regardless, thanks!

Thanks

@MarcuFinx76 Nevermind, I ended up finding the option for it in the retroarch on screen display settings. Again, sorry for the double posting

I solved, resetting to default, and after putting aspect_ratio_index = "21" , and also the rotation, thank you very much for the help I love you haha

Theme is coming along nicely now. I intend to do a series (I got another 4 weeks minimum of furlough) of themes, based on hit SyFy channel TV programmes, starting with Warehouse 13.
I am doing 1 system at a time and testing it, having different characters and artifacts for the system screen, and basic screen, with a warehouse type tag for each.
So each one will look a bit like this;

SYSTEM Screen

BASIC Screen

However, I am having issues with the Detailed/Video Screen. I have this so far;

Detailed screen.jpg

But what I want, is just to incorporate a screen shot of the scraped game, then a video snap of the game, but I want it so that it is in the "screen" of the following image. I am happy where the gameslist is, as I wanted it in the lid of the farnsworth (fans will know what I mean)also with the positioning of the other Meta data and the console. This is the image.

Is there anyway of manipulating the scraped image so they appear in the round window. I have tried most things, but don't know how to display only screenshots and videos, and discount the marquees and the boxart. With the one I have I was able to make it fit by making the screen square.

As always, any help very much appreciated.

@mitu That worked! I can't express how grateful I am, I really thought I had messed up to the point of no return. Thank you so much for you're help, and have a great day

The 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ is a great choice for RetroPie, and it works both wired and wireless.

ISSUE SOLVED

I was an idiot & using the wrong content in the config. Can't remove the post since it's after 3 minutes from upload.

Yay! @mitu you are awesome. Thank you!

It turns out that the GPi uses the "windowed" version of the settings, so I needed to add the following to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

menu_widget_scale_auto = "false" menu_widget_scale_factor_windowed = "2.75"

For what it's worth I had actually stumbled on this setting when messing around but I set the non-windowed value (because it's full screen... I assumed that meant it wasn't windowed) and when that didn't fix it I moved on.

@GreenHawk84 I totally get this. It took months to get my build perfect to the point I was only adding around 1 rom at a time so I could scrape and detail it perfectly. Now we have a huge upgrade it makes my palms sweaty so I don't mess anything up lol.

Get a SDcard testing tool (like H2testw or F3X) and check if your card is ok. If not, then you'll need a different SD card, otherwise try again to re-image.
You can also have issues from the power supply - the 3B model needs a 5V, 2.5A power supply - if you're using a simple charger I strongly advise to get a proper one.

@kitdan2332 said in Xinmotek XM-10 not showing 2 controllers:

I've already tried the cmdline thing adding the string of text at the end which I knew wouldn't work. Thoughts?

Apart from that configuration, there's little to do to make it looks like 2 players. Make sure you've put everything on one line in that file. It may also be that the VID:PID combo is different for your encoder. Can you run

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

and post the output here ?
