@grzzlybr said in ROMs do not launch: @mitu True, although obviously many people have it running fine from a desktop session (I did before these issues). Sure, but that's not a configuration that's tested and supported. I have just tried running RetroPie from boot and it seems to be working fine with local ROMs, but not with ROMs using symlinks (which were working fine before). So I guess that's one issue (sort of) solved and another found! Can you add more details - and possibly the log file asked earlier, not that Runcommand should be working again ?

Ah, so it's not the RetroPie system that you cannot see, it's the EmulationStation menu. Did you, by any chance, switched EmulationStation to Kid mode ?

@Swampy I have mine set to "Instant" but it still does it :/ Sometimes changing the animation style back and forth will fix it; however, today I think it also fixed itself just by going from one menu to another. I didn't enter a script menu (like raspi-config) or a game.

@StigNasty U can always just take the *.bin *.BIN from the es_systems.cfg <system> <name>psx</name> <fullname>PlayStation</fullname> <path>/media/usb0/roms/psx</path> <extension>.cue .cbn .img .iso .m3u .mdf .pbp .toc .z .znx .CUE .CBN .IMG .ISO .M3U .MDF .PBP .TOC .Z .ZNX</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ psx %ROM%</command> <platform>psx</platform> <theme>psx</theme> </system>

Wow! I am literally blind how did I not see that when I looked in the config before... Thanks so much! This works perfectly!

Ah, I see. So you're saying, for now, it is what it is?

My workaround is changing it to "2000" and counting when on that screen. (shrug)

@archie456 note that mame4all is redundant on pi3. see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Arcade#step-1-choose-your-arcade-emulators

@hooperre dont know if it works with ports, my retropie version is latest 4.5.1 latest setup-script and runs on linux Xubuntu 18.04LTS. btw, this is exact how it worked on my linux pc its exact what i did to get music in the menus, maybe do not forget to install mpg123 from synaptic package manager

Thanks, @mitu. I'll try.

Is there anyone else who has ScummVm set up? What do you have in your <game>.svm?

@Efriim Hi. Thanks for your reply. I solved my problem with creating a custom theme file and removing these variables for only configuration menu.

@mitu Thanks Mitu! I always appreciate your quick and spot-on assistance!

I see that the lr-caprice32 has support for m3u playlists - https://github.com/libretro/libretro-cap32 - so you can create a .m3u file containing each game's disks. Emulationstation doesn't know - yet - how to handle those files and it will not show them, though. If you use the lr-caprice32, you can create your custom es_systems.cfg - see here) - and add .m3u as known extension.

@markwkidd thanks. Actually, it might be something that we can solve on our end on autoconfig. Adding the following to the mapping on /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads solved it: input_b_btn_label = "Cross (down)" input_y_btn_label = "Square (left)" input_select_btn_label = "Select" input_start_btn_label = "Start" input_up_btn_label = "D-Pad Up" input_down_btn_label = "D-Pad Down" input_left_btn_label = "D-Pad Left" input_right_btn_label = "D-Pad Right" input_a_btn_label = "Circle (right)" input_x_btn_label = "Triangle (up)" input_l_btn_label = "L1" input_r_btn_label = "R1" input_l2_btn_label = "L2" input_r2_btn_label = "R2" input_l3_btn_label = "L3" input_r3_btn_label = "R3" input_l_x_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Right" input_l_x_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Left" input_l_y_plus_axis_label = "Left Analog Down" input_l_y_minus_axis_label = "Left Analog Up" input_r_x_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Right" input_r_x_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Left" input_r_y_plus_axis_label = "Right Analog Down" input_r_y_minus_axis_label = "Right Analog Up" input_menu_toggle_btn_label = "Home" There's a repository with lots of these mappings here, following @mitu 's thread (thank you!): https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev So it's probably something that's RetroPie-specific for now. Thanks both.

@johnes Did you configure the controller in Emulationstation as described here ? This should get you the proper mapping in Emulationstation (i.e. Start brings up the ES menu, Select the edit menu, etc.). Please add more info about your system - as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - and specify which version are you using and which emulator do you have the behaviour your're seeing for the extra buttons.

for the future i now know the es_log.txt file could be interesting to have a look at first. Thanks

@mitu Thanks a lot, all is clear.

@quicksilver the “home” button is called “the globe”
