@BelligerentBash said in running retropie_setup.sh basic install without gui: The output I get from running with no parameters (sudo ./retropie_packages.sh) does not list the 'sub-parameters' for the setup parameter, or even the main setup parameter. The first parameter is the module. The second is the function to call. It does list all the functions.

@ohmycommodore this website needs Facebook like reacts 😂

We don't recommend in-place upgrades, and neither Raspbian. One thing to know is that the new Buster images have a larger boot partition to accomodate larger kernel sizes. It might not be a problem now, but in the future this might pose an issue.

Not that I see one (right now). Works fine here.

Thank you so much!

Here's a link - retropie.org.uk/download.

Actually I just saw the performance test...I think I will get a Pi4 and modify the Nespicase lol...I want to play ps1 dreamcast and some n64 Mame etc, the Pi1 B+ doesn't seems to be strong enough for all this.

@privatelupo If you're targeting a PC, disabling Vulkan might not be desired. The build options for RetroArch are set in build function of the install script, so it can be patched easily.

If you want RetroPie now you can install it. The master branch works fine on my 4. Refer to the manual install guide to get started.

@mitu thanks, yes we've downloaded the newest image and she did order a 3B+.

Here's a collection of methods to determine the video ram of a Linux system: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/

No ideas from anyone? Disappointing... But I guess we can't expect to figure out a fix for everything. (especially if my friend is right) EDIT: YEAH, my friend was right. Screen was dying. No longer functioning at all. Sorry to have wasted the time of anyone who read this - fix a dying screen with configuration changes is....kind of impossible.

@mitu After reinstalling everything seems to work fine. Will test for a few days now. Thanks for the assistance.

That worked for me! Thanks a lot!

@NeoDude Not a mistake, but it seems something is missing. Do you have OpenGL acceleration working ? Have you used Ubuntu's installer or did you manually install the driver ? I'd recommend using the Ubuntu's PPA packages to install the drivers or the Ubuntu package management app (Software center ?).

Ok, I've updated script and had success to install mame2013-plus. This topic may be closed, thank you!

@mitu Just stumbled over this thread because I am a proud owner of two Aimtrak lightguns since last saturday, and I'm searching for any information about their setup. :) Following the links from the video's description, I found the github page of the script in question: https://github.com/Shakz76/Eazy-Hax-RetroPie-Toolkit/ It seems like it modifies an existing Retropie installation and adds some functionality the author deemed to be useful. I didn't dive deeper into it, because I prefer to use Retropie's own tools as long as they get the job done as well. Getting my Aimtraks to work with any kind of MAME is my next goal, but at present I can't help much further.

@yuke that's just the nature of scaling from one resolution to another. different emulators won't help here, especially as beetle will only run (very slowly) in exactly the same resolution'd software mode, as you won't be able to run it higher resolution open gl mode with the pi's GPU featureset. (even the higher resolution mode I think is a factor of the original resolution anyway, so may still have the issue). you could eliminate the artefacts by running with integer scaling turned on (you'd get small/large borders, though).
