Well that was stupidly simple, I needed to switch it to PCM. Now the sound is working great!

3rd party images can be VERY iffy. It might be set-up great or likley just rushed job with rameverythingromrelatedware onto the card and its the poor sod that thinks they are getting a bargain end up frustrated and scammed

Try this to reset the controller congis, but being hinest the easiest and quickest way is to start from scratch. Download RetroPie and begin from nothing. You'll get plenty of help then

SSH in (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh), run sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh and go to Emulation Station configuration via

Manage Packages -> Core Packages -> emulationstation -> Configuration or
Configuration / Tools -> emulationstation

and choose the option to Clear/Reset Emulation Station input configuration

Initial installation from formatting the SD card

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/
(All packages with configuration appear in Configuration / Tools when installed)

@Magia Please use the correct Raspberry Pi - image it's the Rapsberry 0/1 Image - you seem to have a Raspberry 1 B+

Then use etcher or any other software to burn it to SD, but I think there is something wrong with your SD card. Incompatible or a chinese plagiate? Where did you get this card - maybe ebay?

Did you do any overclockings?

También quiero eliminar el inicio de sesión con contraseña. No puedo probar ahora porque tuve que desarmar la caja que estoy construyendo, pero hice esta nota cuando alguien más hizo la misma pregunta antes:

Autologin:

at command prompt, type sudo raspi-config select option 3 in menu (Boot Options) select option B1 (Desktopp/CLI) select option B2 (Console Autologin)
Then Ok, exit all the way and restart.

pruébalo y dime si funciona.

To my experience and help i got here, all is related to symlinks, if they are build wrong some roms will never runs.
Amiberry can run lha files directly without issues.
I've resolved only putting kickstart roms on amiga folder (under BIOS), deleting bad symlinks and then rebuild them pointing Amiberry specify to that folder.

@fishman I believe you would have to first quit Attract Mode and then type "emulationstation" at the command line. I don't know of any other way.

But there are many, many people here far more intelligent than I am about this sort of thing, so maybe someone else would know of a script or other method to do what you want to do.

@killias2 Looks like a failing SD card or corrupted filesystem. Without a Linux installation to access the SD card and try a filesystem repair, re-install might be the only option.

@bibbleboberoe What you're seeing on your PC is the boot partition, which is a small part of the SD card containing only a few files. You PC cannot see the Linux partition where ROMs/BIOs/other files are stored. See the Transferring Roms section of the docs. You could read the SD card's Linux partition if you have a Linux PC though, but not from Windows/macOS.
As for the 2nd problem, is your RetroPie system connected to the network - the same network where your PC is connected ?

@clyde Will give it a try when I have time

Think I may have been a bit dim - I was originally adding extra inputs and it didn't do anything, I've since overwrote all of them and it is reading the input now. Thanks for your help folks.

@renario910 said in Retropie on ubuntu is broken.:

so how do i edit sources.list?

from a terminal, type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

but i think it's also important to familiarize yourself with some basic unix/linux concepts, since this is turning into more of an Ubuntu support thread.

@Potatopops9 It's explained in the Docs. However, the scraper does not currently work even if you'll be updating right now - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20613/

@suatdon retropie does not work on android - I think you're in the wrong forum :) you could try here: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues

Is that the solution for me?

@rbaker : I don't think that's likely to help - of all the components involved in this problem, Win32DiskImager is probably the one that can be most relied on.

@BigBoss : Does Win32DiskImager report that it has successfully written to the card?
If so, are you then able to see two new drives in Explorer (maybe E: and F:)?
If so, you should be able to access one of them, but not the other.
A Yes to all of the above would suggest that the SD card is probably ok, although it would still be useful if you had a second card that you could test with.

If you put the SD card in the Pi and switch it on, do you only see the red LED lighting? Does the green LED light at all?
If you're not seeing the green LED, that suggests that the Pi is not even trying to read from the card, and you would need to check things like whether your power supply is delivering enough current.

@caelthunderwing @Ecks Man, I really didn't want to have to flatten and reinstall because I'd already put a LOT of roms on this thing, but the Kintaro image appears to have been the problem, yup. Using the base one from the website solved the problem. Time to start moving the roms over again!

At this point I just have input lag to deal with, but that's a separate issue I'm going to have to look into and make a separate thread for if necessary. Thanks for your help!

@douga @mitu I've wired them the same way and it workds, so thanks everyone!

@mitu Ok, thanks
