@drake999 said in EmulationStation Consuming 65% CPU on Idle:

I'm finding that the EmulationStation process is consistently consuming about 65% of the CPU resources while idle on a stationary menu screen.

With or without videos? If the latter, did you enable the OMX player in Other Settings of ES' Main Menu?

@markyh444 yes it is

I have a pi zero that more or less works with a USB hub, but wont recognise the keyboard when I connect it to the hub, I havent tried an xbox controller, but i could try it I suppose.

@ballboff I tried what you mentioned but nothing shows up but the same 2 options:
0
H hidden ESSID

I honestly don't think its something that simple. I logged in to my router to see if it would even pick up the Pi, unfortunately it's not.
Thanks for your input, I appreciate ALL the help I can get.

@retro_pi if you read my post it’s in there. If you have specific questions I will be happy to answer them.

@dankcushions aah thanks so its just waiting for me now haha

Okay I've almost finished my long dead project but I'm having trouble wiring in the GBA's controller board into the Pi in a way that it recognizes it as a configurable controller. Can I do this or am I trying to do something that's simply not possible?

Moving thread now that I see the Projects and Themes section (I was looking for a section like that before posting but got confused by this site's layout).

Take a CUE/ISO/WAV TGCD disk image and burn it to disk, then re-rip it. Do this 10 times, and the crc/hash/ect of the file will be identical to the one you started with (assuming you're using good ripping/burning software).

Take a CUE/BIN image of a TGCD game, burn and rerip it ONCE, and you'll get different file sizes. By the second time you did this, you'd be lucky to get an emulator to load the image (or the actual hardware to load the disk) anymore.

File sizes are VERY important with a TGCD backup.

At least for the type of data disk TGCD games are you CAN NOT properly back them up ANY way except CUE/ISO/WAV.

I've followed the TG16/TGCD emulation/backup/preservation for about 20 years now, and this was a MAJOR issue with backups until NightWolve made TurboRip, which allowed for perfect rips almost every time.

Oh, and CUE file problems for TGCD games should be handled by TOCfixer (http://www.ysutopia.net/index.php?ind=downloads&op=entry_view&iden=4), not Sega CUE Maker. TOCfixer can also help you properly covert those crappy CUE/ISO/MP3 backups you find to proper CUE/ISO/WAV backups.

@edale

Good to hear. If you get some time, I'm sure it would help others if you could detail the solution you landed on.

@jay81uk unless you want to start manually erasing files

@Hex
I tried with VNC.
ssh to Pi , start VNC
Open VNC from my PC, open LXterminal in VNC, run emulationstation

It didn't work too.

@jay81uk

holes int the Pi are ⌀ 3 mm

Hi @edmaul69 ,
I can ping to google.com

It'll run a good bit slower to be sure, but it does run. This speed test video may help you make up your mind.

That worked! Took forever to update the script but once it finally finished and I did a reboot there it was. The new emulationstation black loading screen and the random button. Very exciting thank you very much!
