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

Did you configure your gamepad in EmulationStation ? Usually this is all what's needed in order for the correct auto-configuration profile for RetroArch to be generated. Did you reset/changed your RetroArch configuration so that the configuration profile cannot be changed ?

Why cant i access retropie setup?

Please tell us more about your system as outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@phillip_benoit i just found a better one and used it and it worked instantly

@Dr-Klein it is the difference between running roms from a USB drive vs. transferring roms using a USB drive.

When you run roms from the USB drive they remain on the drive, and are only accessible while it is attached.

You want to transfer the roms from the USB stick onto the SD storage. Name the folder retropie, instead of retropie-mount.

See https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=58151 for potential issues during boot. It details most problems and how to find them based on the led blinking pattern.

@Folly I didn't see that. No. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. Good luck to you or whoever tries to fix that in the future!

@windg Not (yet). On the RPI (and probably other embedded) platforms we install a patched SDL2 library, but not on PC - where we use the distro's version of SDL2.
When the SDL2 library shipped by RetroPie will be upgraded we'll make sure to accomodate the changes done in upstream SDL2. For reference, see the discussions on this RetroPie issue.

@RobbyThomas2525 Ok then, with a stock 4.8 image from retropie.org.uk/download EmulationStation works - did you do any additional configuration on your system, like installing an additional display driver or modifying the config.txt boot configuration file ?

@mitu

After some testing it disconnects when have rumble enabled. Without rumble no problem at all. It only does that when in use. The problem starts when it have rumble enabled.

I have notice this also. When in dualschock mode on retroarch it disconnects far more times per minute from when having on standard mode which seems to be working with less rumble effect( probably one motor is working not both like on dualshock)

Regards.

@mitu I will remember that and now have a thread to fall back on if I forget in the future. Thank You

@luckyluca said in Some roms not working with lr-fbneo:

The only reason why I haven't updated the core yet, is that I don't know if doing so might affect other systems I already built, and would necessitate updating their roms too (neogeocd for instance, and anything else I might not think of right now).

Your version is over 6 months old, so no doubt there will be romset updates/additions (we probably added over a dozen of new systems since then), neogeo cd won't be a problem though.

Nvm i figured it out

Hey everyone, im having similar issues, ok so first this first im on rpi4 latest retropie 4.8.

This was the only close issue i could find.

The thing i am having is my gamepad and keyboard wont work when adding XINIT to yabasanshiro emulator.cfg i tested running retropie on desktop but gets hot so i than thought why not reverse it, now all games should be running from vulkan from my understanding and run great but notging works i have to reboot my pi from ssh.

Could this issue be the same for fullscreen or maybe i need to point my config to my key2map for yabasanshiro.

Thanks

@therealtitleist said in USB Ports not working Retropie 4.7.1 / Raspberry Pi4B:

Does that point to a hardware failure?

Most likely yes.

@jamrom2 Thanks for confirming this.

@richard-baker Before doing @jamrom2's last point ("Go back to your PC …"), you'll have to enable SSH in RetroPie. See the Docs for instructions, I recommend "(Option 2) From the RetroPie menu".

@mitu Thank you, That fixed it.

I changed it because I found emulation station running first was affecting the performance of the pi when doing normal desktop processes and it would quickly get annoying to have to exit emulation station and type startx to get to the desktop(for me let alone my son).

will go back to searching and see if i can figure something else out.

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you. That worked for me. I'll make sure not to change my login in the future -_-

Are you sure you downloaded the right image for your system ? The 'illegal instruction' error at the top makes me think you downloaded the image for a Rpi2/3 or Rpi4 board.
