@mitu yup I'm very aware of all of that. and I did some snooping around in retroarch.

and now this is VERY weird. I accidentally deleted the entire rom list I had in the SNES dir. sent it all back on SSH, tried a game and VOILA, now it saves.

I have no idea as to why or how its working now

jimmy i think that was meant for thread but do this

sudo pico /boot/cmdline.txt

add this to the end (make sure you make a space from the last letter)

usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x40

press ctrl+x to save and exit

you will need to reboot as well

sudo shutdown -r now

TO THE RETROCAVE!!!

@nicky_s14 Try reinstalling the library sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpng12-dev

I find a workarround. If run script witch xterm emulationstation and games work fine. Strange, isn't it?

@rak7145 said in RetroPie won't boot on Raspberry Pi 3:

I encountered an error numerous times that said Etcher couldn't locate the disk

I haven't had this happen myself though it's possible there's something up with your SD card/ SD card reader. There are lots of shady eBay SD sellers, I try and stick with reputable sources, if you have another microsd laying around might be worth trying and if for some reason it's etcher you can try win32diskimager instead to rule that out as well though I personally have never had issues with etcher.

If above fails also try diff HDMI if possible but I wouldn't necessarily go buying all sorts of new hardware until I've tried every software fix.

@nicky_s14

raspi2png is probably your best bet. Here's a link where it's been discussed previously in relation to RetroPie.

@guruchoc I installed Xarcade2Jstick via the retropie menu, that seemed to do the trick, I can play Bubble Bobble to my hearts content, thanks for the help.

@devin_205 Do you have an USB stick you can use for the transfer? Then use the USB method described in the link @isrnick gave you. It should be the easiest way if you have problems transferring roms over the network.

it says cant upload a psx rom

Please describe exactly what you did and give us the exact error message(s).

@pjft and to complete this ... I have collections that are named "RetroAchievements" and "RA - Battle Bugs". The Battle Bugs is for challenging games or for the Monthly Random Game introduced here (Currently Mario RPG).

These collections in combination with a small script Automated Switchable RetroAchievements make an automatic connect/disconnect to the RA server possible ;)

So you all see custom collections is a milestone in the ES development. Thank you pjft :D

You want to rename the roms to remove region, or remove the roms that are not of your region ?
The first is basically not possible, because you can't have 2 files with the same name in the same directory :) You may batch rename them if you want, but can't simply remove the region.
The second options is also feasible, but we would need more informations.

Anyway, @BobHarris suggestion or scapping is the best way IMHO.

@madmodder123 said in Overclocking doesn't seem to work:

Try these out and use mupen64plus-GlideN64 for Star Fox 64
I can run at about 25-30 FPS with occasional dips down to 20-22 FPS, it is totally playable

Start Overclock Settings

arm_freq=1350
gpu_freq=525
core_freq=525
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6
v3d_freq=525
force_turbo=1
avoid_pwm_pll=1

End Overclock Settings

Keep in mind using force_turbo & over_voltage together will add the void warranty flag. Not that most care, but it is something to keep in mind for people who may not know.

So, I’ve really tried everything to make this thing work. Nothings working. Possible defective pi board. Luckily, they are letting me return it. I’m doing what I should have done in the first place. I’m upgrading to a pi 3 and scrapping the whole pi zero in an old nes cart. Hopefully this will work better. Fingers crossed!

@tylerx Retropie Manager is an unofficial addon and people seem to be having many issues with it. I have used it though - did you follow this?
Also,

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

which you agreed to do.

@cool_iron Configure it in Emulationstation - as described in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/.

thanks that seems to have fixed my issues

I have a usb hub..powered four port. It has a separate power supply. It's a Pluggable brand has not failed me one bit. Always remember the pi has enough power to run just itself in most cases. USB sticks have leds on them..so the more leds you plug in the more power draw. (No not saying that LEDS are draining and power hungry..etc ect.) Just saying the pi powers itself..if it has to share it will not be happy.

And not all usb hubs are the same. Yo want to make sure that the hub will NOT back-power into the pi..thus causing damage or death of your pi

@pesto Do you intend to run RetroPie on the PI ? Then follow the steps in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ (there's a handy video included) and you should be good to go. You don't need to expand the filesystem in order to install RetroPie.

@mitu

I just check it my screen says use percentage 100%

In network I deleted bunch of ps1 and seems to be working now as far as I can tell. Thank you so mich!!
