You need to copy the /home/pi/RetroPie/retropiemenu folder.

@XEntombmentX Make sure you understand what that entails - you'll have to maintain the custom configuration manually. Each time a new system is added (you install a new emulator) you'll have to manually copy the new system entries from the system config to the custom one.

I just pop in and out of UI modes. You can toggle the "hidden" flag on entries to hide them from kiosk/kid UI mode. By default, if you hide every entry in a system then ES will hide the system in the carousel.

@newmanph said in When launching a game, emulationstation switches to desktop, then back to the menu:

Is there any way to make emulationstation work within the desktop? I know it's recommended to just use the raspberry pi to launch emulationstation, but if it's possible I'd like to use the pi for other things as well.

You can still use the desktop, start if from EmulationStation - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go - and not the other way around.

That's hilarious. I just removed the xboxdrv driver as well as the xpad driver. Both pads working, recognized as XBox 360 controllers. Configured in the menu. Back to the issue where the 8BitDo controller works great, and everything but the D-Pad seems to work on the generic SNES controller.

If you have a 4k tv/monitor, then use raspi-config and change your default video resolution to 1080p.

@skrilmps said in can't access MAME 2003+ (libretro) in-game menu:

cy

no problems at all always use then menu to set options code can change any time.

I have the same issue with my Xbox controller. My analog does as you say, but my Dpad works fine.

Ah, thank you very much! I don't know how I missed that option scrolling through settings.

I can see the font files from my Mac via FTP, and a number of 16x32 fonts seem to be the largest there is. That's fine, I hopefully I can just SSH in for 99% of things.

@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 ?

@TheFloW said in Randomly slow EmulationStation menus on RPi 4:

I was referring to how to get to HDMI boost and TV mode

HDMI boot configuration is not available for the Pi4, as for the mode selection, you can just use raspi-config and select 1080p as default video mode.

@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)
