@keksninja This looks like a bad written image, try re-flashing the SD card proper with Etcher.

Please add more info about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Games will not appear in your system unless you copy them over to your system - as explained in the docs - , there's no games included in the RetroPie image.

@markyh444
Oh poop, I thought I was on the Kodi forum... My bad!

@mitu That's what I have been using. The only reason I wanted a libretro core was because my pi would often crash when launching other games/emulators after using Drastic. If there is a way to completely unload Drastic after closing it that would be great but thanks for your help 👍

Still not got this sorted, the only thing I haven't done is reinstalled.
Can't for the life of me work out if something is sending a rogue keypress.
But I have noticed on some occasions pressing A worked ok to launch the ROM. Other times only the left shoulder button worked so something is definitely amiss somewhere.
For now I have disabled the runcommand launch menu. That's a partial resolution.

never mind, i fixed it! thanks for help @mitu!!! really appreciate it

try removing it from the case and remove all cables and the sd card. Connect everything back up and boot up without the case and make sure it's not a problem with the snespi power supply. Make sure the switches are in the right position, I think there's a switch for power inside the case, and another one for safe shutdown, which requires additional script to work, turn this to "off" so that you do the manual shutdown method.

@mattrixk I am running the latest retropie so that's all good but I did find what was causing the issue.

@mitu thank you very much for your help you were right it was the file path. Not an error on my part as all the paths were set correctly with / and not \ but it turns out that when making a theme in ES portable on the pc the file paths to all the images and such were slightly off.

Instead of an _Inc folder I'm weird and have my images and such in a folder called art. There is 1 art folder in the main theme folder for the main theme images and such then there is 1 art folder in each of the system folders for each consoles images.

In retropie the file path required for the theme to be able to find the images correctly is just ./art/image.png as it only needs to look directly into the art folder within that system folder.

It seems that with ES portable that the file path for some reason is ./.. /art/image.png which I presume is effectively telling ES portable to go back a folder to look for the images?

All I needed to do in the end was change it from ./../art/image.png to ./art/image.png and its all working great now.

I've been playing with the themes for the past few days and I think im almost finishedwith my theme now and I'm working on a much better one too. Might have to make a custom img to upload I've recently acquired just under 20k games across 48 platforms, going to take a while to scrape! Lol.

@DUBlajes

This is the way i used to get it to work. Maybe you can get it working as well. I must warn you that this is a long time ago since i last tried Brutal Doom with Zdoom on my RetroPie.

Go to opt/retropie/configs/ports folder and create a new folder called brutaldoom.
Copy the emulators.cfg file and the zdoom.ini file from the doom folder in the opt/retropie/configs/doom to the brutaldoom config folder. (Notice this might need sudo command in terminal)

Paste this into the new zdoom.ini file in the brutaldoom config folder so that it will replace the original text.

Download latest brutaldoom from moddb.com and extract the brutaldoom files into that brutaldoom folder

Create a new runcommand/launch sh file and notice the commands that is meant to refer to the location of the files to launch brutaldoom.

Sorry for the long post. Hope this helps. :-)

You can transfer ROMs via a usb stick

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Transferring-Roms

Please add more information about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

How did you install the drivers ? The root account doesn't have a password on the default Retropie image, you need to use the pi user and sudo to gain root access or run commands as root.

@Eyeball_36 iirc there's a specific sensor of sorts that would enable the potential to have an onscreen battery type of thing but it wasn't part of the raspiboy hardware. It was one of the grievances I had with the hardware, until it just fried completely. Sorry I'm not much more help

If I were to do the handheld thing again I'd do the mintypi V3

@mutedemon It depends on the theme - what theme are you trying to modify ?

@MikeLang I'd advise to do a backup of your image, just in case.

@mitu My apologies, I'm sorry. That wasn't I'm intent. Thank you.

@JesseBlue said in Help with identifying two arcade games:

The second one might be Crude Buster (US: Two Crude).

That's the one JesseBlue, I wasn't expecting to find them so fast, and with such a small description, thank you man.

For the benefit of anyone else stumbling upon this via Google (I understand the last post is a year old), and trying to get Retroarch to work with Parasite Eve 2 with PSX Beetle HW.

PE2 really hates having certain settings changed from defaults. The 2 main ones are;

-CPU Dynarec (disabled)
-CD Loading Speed (2x)

Here's a quick screenshot of settings that should guarantee to work (with Retroarch on Windows anyway).

https://i.imgur.com/jUyS0to.png

@OregonPacifist there isn't anything magical about it. You can put those roms back into the arcade folder and they will work. You just need to change the default emulator in the runcommand menu. Definitely should read the documents links previously posted.

I ran that and the tvs preferred res is group 1 mode 4 changed it in config.txt to that setting still nothing

I had that problem try remapping your controls in retro arch I had to hold the right trigger down for the control to work I retro arch till I re mapped.

Also try Installing the xpadneo drivers seems to work for me I then have to update the xpad drivers for wired my after glow wired controller to work
