      @testudo said in Retroarch not registering MIDI Soundfont Files for DosBox-Pure:

      @roslof Thanks for the suggestion. I removed all but one SoundFont file from the <system> folder and also removed the Gravis Ultrasound folder/files from the <rom> folder as an added check. Unfortunately, no change. Retroarch is still not registering the single remaining .sf2 file.

      I don't want to steer you wrong, but this still sounds like the same problem I had. It was scanning other folders (not just the pc folder) and finding .sf2 files. One of which was 512MB and its mere existence prevented the pull-down from displaying properly. Are you certain there isn't a lingering .sf2 hanging out in a scummvm folder or something?

      @roslof I do have other .sf2 files spread throughout usr/share/sounds/sf2 and scumm/extras folders. I'll give renaming them a go and see if that does the trick.

      if you're using a Windows based PC, grab WinSCP. Use that for working with the file and folder structure. It will help you learn quickly where things are and make it easy to load/delete files

      Then Putty to work with the permissions and other issues you will come across that require "sudo" based commands.

      @Crush Proton is not new and has reached version 7. It is based on WINE and DXVK and some other stuff. You can find out what is compatible in Steam: https://www.protondb.com/

      I use Proton on my desktop PC instead WINE. It can be used without Steam running too. But the Proton version needs to be downloaded from Steam UI first. I recommend Proton Experimental. Here is a script, you can try: Proton script Or you can try one of the forks, who added some more stuff and made it a bit better.

      AARM and Skraper appear to be Windows Specific Applications

      Yes, but that doesn't mean they can't run on Linux. For Linux, you can try Skyscraper, has a lot more flexibility than the built-in EmulationStation scraper.

      @k-bit said in Raphnet Dual N64 usb adapter with RetriPie:

      I tried to create the udev role, but that didn't worked for me and i actually dont know why it has to be this specific file name for the rules.

      Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      The filename's extension is important since this is how udev recognizes it as a configuration file. The name itself doesn't matter, as long as it's in the right folder and having the correct extension.

      What error are you getting when you're trying to create the file ?

      Either way, check you connection to github.com - that's the reason the installation is not working.
      If you run manually one of the git commands, what error do you get ?

      @technicaljunky It's not a problem if PulseAudio is present - the only issue for you seems to be EmulationStation's audio settings, which should be solvable with the correct configuration.

      RetroPie doesn't have any built-in support for an extra display for marquees - the solution you may have found is probably using its own theming capability that you can use.

      @mitu
      Thanks for the help.

      After some reading up, found that the Nvidia driver 340.108 has already EOL.
      Last supported was for Kernel version 5.4.

      Perhaps this is the reason why the driver is not running well in the latest Ubuntu.

      @EctoOne Oh, that's a real bummer. I thought the package with the "-Linux-64Bit.tar.gz" in the filename from the releases page, which is build with PyInstaller would solve issues like that in the future. I get a fontconfig error with it on my current system and it can be a local issue on my machine. Not very encouraging, but maybe you could try to run that.

      But well, it contains binary files, so from security standpoint I can understand when you don't even want try that.

      @thorndike said in Joystick configuration on Atari Fight Stick:

      First, when configuring the joystick through emulationstation which set of configuration options should I use to configure the joystick? The first set of directional inputs, or those farther down in the configuration menu?

      You can use both to navigate EmulationStation, but most games expect something similar to a D-Pad (the first), so I'd use that.

      I am currently using the first set of directional inputs but the joystick is very sensitive. If using the other directional inputs don't make a difference is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the joystick?

      You can try to increase the deadzone for the joystick using evdev-joystick , a command line utility.
