@Nash, thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't aware of that feature.

@RapidEdwin08 said in GameCube/Wii Error: Mario Part 5:

@Nash I took the liberty of updating the install script you posted to workaround the Font and PNG Errors previously mentioned, as well as a few other changes...
Can now run dophin-rpi without those errors at startup.
Thanks again for sharing as I was not aware of this fork.

dolphin-rpi.sh
/dolphin-rpi/01_font_alerts.diff

Thank you for the improvements to the script. I never got around to fixing the missing .png error.

I appreciate you adding this to your RetroPie-Extras repo. This will give dolphin-rpi a lot more visibility.

Just to summarize all of the improvements to date that I have either identified or that have been brought to my attention that dolphin-rpi offers over current dolphin-emu builds:

Mario Kart Double Dash - corrects blue tint
Resident Evil 4 - corrects white textures
Mario Golf Toadstool Tour - corrects invisible golfers
Metroid Prime - corrects invisible map screen (probably also applies to Metroid Prime 2, but I haven't verified yet)
Zelda Twilight Princess (Gamecube version) - corrects blacked out map in corner of screen
Bomberman Generations - corrects black menus (reported by retropieuser555)
Sonic Adventure DX - not clear what the issue that it fixes (reported by retropieuser555)
The Last Story (Wii) - speedhack implemented to allow improved performance.

RetroPie doesn't include a 3DS emulators, so creating a special folder for 3DS games will not be enough. If you want to add a new system/emulator to RetroPie, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation/.

As for downloading games - see Rule #1 of the forum.

@muzzle
I play this on lr-snes9x on a PC.
I don't have a Pi 2 so I can't say how well that would work.

@mitu so i was able to get it working by importing the gpg key.

all is well!!

@buffyp00h said in Audio stutter in some SNES games on surround receiver:

All have the same problem on soundbar systems (and likely also on surround receivers).

I just don't get why these particular games generate hdmi sound that gets wrecked by so many setups, one would think there was a way to fix this at the source - the generation of sound on the pi/other device.

Just my 0.02 here, the world of modern TVs and home theater/surround sound devices is needlessly complicated for these simple old tasks we are trying to recreate here with simple digital signals (ironically that are emulations of old analog signals).

What I would try to see if it helps:
Many TVs have a "game mode" that is intended to reduce or eliminate "signal processing" to enable a more pure, delay free signal and timings. Many surround sound receivers have something similar, although it is usually called Pure Audio or Direct Sound mode. You might see if your receiver has this option and try it to see if it eliminates audio hitches.

For what it's worth, I have an Onkyo receiver at home and even with modern consoles I have noticed that something in the HDMI convergence where all video inputs are routed to a single HDMI output to the TV will cause a 'gap' in sounds sometimes. (After a dead silence of any kind, the first sound made is either dropped entirely or gets cut so I only hear part of it before normal audio resumes. Sort of like the audio stream has to buffer up before it becomes stable again.)

EDIT: Hit the submit button too soon and wasn't done typing.

Yes, it requires some setup but it's working on my Retropie on a Raspberry Pi 3B. Loads of fun and laughs with the mates, strongly recommended.

Just a side note. I attempted this on Pi 5 with bookworm and it works perfectly fine. I haven't attempted any of the high res mods but hopefully they'll work given the higher specs

@meleu posted a thread on it a month ago

@retroprogrammer Don't give up, the best advice i can give is to never try to learn all in one time. Instead, focus on little things (like you did with the splash screen) and you will be gathering knowledge. Find an art style that you like and have fun doing it.

Since you like pixel art, you can give a try to Derek's pixel art tutorial, it's pretty much the style that you make on your splash screen.

well just tried it on a psp. It was way better there. it just small. I missed some jumps but I think cuz im very rusty maybe. Had to use 1.1 so it wouldn't tare.
That's based on the x9 emulator so im guessing my tv is so crappy.

Ah thanks! Makes sense. I'm from the UK, so grew up with the PAL version.

TS has only 1 post, isn't this spam?

@herb_fargus Same. I just always ran and slid underneath it or jumped over haha.

@herb_fargus said in Don't try this at home, kids:

what we really need is a sqlite filter with tags rather than having to edit the emulators config but that's more of a new frontend thing or a large update to ES. one can hope anyways

This is what @fieldofcows suggested in this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6985/metadata-improvements-in-emulationstation

While he's been busy with the WSOD fix, I put together a fairly comprehensive design doc that will allow a lot more power to users and theme designers. I'm hoping he and/or I can get it implemented sometime over the next few months. Fingers crossed...

I'm aware of the favorites mod.

But I was looking for something more geared at collections like having all MARIO games in one section within ES

Very nice job on those cabinets! Just Beautiful.
I personally like the Tron one. ;-)

I kinda miss the fighting game cabinet designs. Most guys when they build bar top cabinets they use Nintendo characters or classic arcade game designed decals/bezels. I would love to see a nice Street Fighter or any NeoGeo fighting game designed cabinet.
Another thing I wonder is the button layout out. Is that chosen on purpose or just matching the decal design?
I cannot imagine to play all too long on such a cabinet without getting wrist pain. When I used to build my own arcade sticks I always went with the Japanese stick and button layouts or the same one like Hori does for their sticks. Check here.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!

I will have a read through it.. absolute legend! Thanks

@meleu Yep, changed it, but it still wants to use controller #1 to control Luigi
