@paulmorabi That's it.

@xwons Yes screen tearing in the menus may happen on the RPi4, no known solution yet.

@IceChes1 It's the other way around. Ethernet is not slow. All my devices are hardwired from the router this way with 200+Mbps. Raspberry Pi Wifi is however slow. The 3B+ is slightly better performing in my experience on the wifi though. Glad you are now sorted.

It depends on the keyboard but it is generally the key \ or one of the ones close to Enter.

You can remove the USB drive as long as you don't need to read stuff from it.

@mitu settled, many thanks.

@bc320 said in Pi4 and libreELEC: Is there a way to set up my pi so when I boot I can choose LibreElec and Kodi OR Retropie? Using something like NOOBS or PINN could help you install multiple systems on the same sdcard. is there an easy way to move between the 2? Apart from using separate cards, try option 1. if I am able to get a wireless/bluetooth controller to work with retropie will it work with LibreElec? I don't know, if it has bluetooth support built in, then it should work.

@mitu thanks dude, that was it. i had removed everything with kodi- before it in synaptic package manager and then reinstalled kodi from binary in retropie and restarted retropie/es and now kodi shows up and runs within ports! thanks you

I changed my mind. I'm better off watching on the laptop.

Okay, here's what I've got in es_systems.cfg <system> <name>ports</name> <fullname>Ports</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports</path> <extension>.sh .SH</extension> <command>bash %ROM%</command> <platform>pc</platform> <theme>ports</theme> </system> And then put this in/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Kodi.sh #!/bin/bash "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "kodi" ""

Just as I posted this I managed to figure it out. It seams that when kodi in osmc starts a script it starts it in root directory where it has no privilages. Adding "cd /home/osmc" at the beginning of "/home/osmc/RetroPie/scripts/retropie.sh" solved the problem!

@mitu Ah, that scuppers those plans then. I think I'll give this up as a failed experiment. I did manage to get Kodi to launch from my green button by importing psutil and check_output and changing the code to espid = int(check_output(["pidof","-s","emulationstation"])) es = psutil.Process(espid) es.suspend() Kodi = subprocess.Popen("/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Kodi.sh") Kodi.wait es.resume() But then the script would no longer start from my crontab on boot so not really usable.

In Raspi-Config, Select Advanced, Overscan and then Disable. That should allow your GUI to extend to the edges of your screen. if it's still not to your liking you'll need to change the Overscan value in Config.txt in the /boot partition on your MicroSD card.

@ignatius We don't offer support for 3rd party images - especially the ones sold with RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Selling RetroPie is agains the project's license, so you just enriched a scammer. You should ask the seller for support.

So I finally figured it out. As usual it was a couple things, but none of them were as difficult as I was looking for. Everything was a little out of date, and because I was working on wifi, i figured id let it update everything over night. Turns out I hadnt done that since enabling usbrom service. After the update it (mostly) solved my problem, and after putting the pi on stretch instead of Jessie I'm good. Thanks @Efriim for going down the rabbit hole with me. I appreciated your help

@daviduco AFAIk Recalbox uses version 17,not 18 available in Retropie.

Ok thank you it works.
