@retrotinkerer Wii games will not run on a pi. You'll need much more powerful hardware for that.

@mitu Thanks so much for the help. I'll let you know how I make out.

@rbaker I checked it and nothing helped , I used brand new Kingston microSD card so it must not be reason . Anywan I will buy new one during black friday I just want to know now , can I use Pi 3 Model B heatsinks with Pi 3 Model B + if so I ahve some of them

@cmac said in Kernel Panic issue, want to preserve data: I'll give that a shot. In the case that I can back up the filesys, is copying + pasting the root of the filesys into a fresh retropie installation's filesys root work, or is there any more to it? No, that's not the way to do it. Just back up the ROMs + BIOS folders and the emulationstation's configuration folder in /home/pi/.emulationstation to save your arkwork and ROMs. You can also back-up your configurations' folder (/opt/retropie/configs/all), but I wouldn't overwrite it on a new installation unless you're sure you have the same version of RetroPie as before.

@randall8686 Use the Docs, there is a section for each emulator (system) including the file extension understood for earch one. By now, ROMs have standardized the format and extension, most of them can be zipped and the emulator will read them.

It's okay, it was from my config file...It works now ! thanks !

@chuckyp most adapters have a headphone jack on them for audio which is far better quality than the jack on the pi.

This is a forum for RetroPie, not a general Raspberry Pi forum. You might want to ask about Kodi problems on a Kodi dedicated forum/mailing list.

I just received my new pi and all is working now. Time to start the rebuild and customization. I tried backing my old build on my pc before i started having issues, 64gb card, but it would always fail at 39gb when writing the image to my 2tb hard drive. Even with multiple readers.

@alturis I think @johnny5126 means a power strip with one "master" socket and a number of "slave" sockets. If the device connected to the master socket draws power, the slave sockets will be powered by the strip automatically.

Well, I've half-answered my question. I somehow suspected CEC to be an issue, and lo, when I changed hdmi_ignore_cec_init to hdmi_ignore_cec, ES stalls on launch, spits out "lvl0: CECInput::mAdapter->Open failed", runs, and then works perfectly, so it's probably an issue with the libcec I'm using.

This is pretty epic IMHO!! But if you are going jerry can look then I think one of the switches with the red flip cover (like a fighter jet) would make it look even better! :)

UPDATE: 27/01/18 - Script to trigger screen saver almost immediately after loading emulationstation 1. Install Python uintput sudo pip install python-uinput 2. Create a script called simkeypress.py to simulate screen saver button (Enter in my case) import uinput import time device = uinput.Device([ uinput.KEY_ENTER, ]) time.sleep(8) device.emit_click(uinput.KEY_ENTER) 3. Update autostart.sh to trigger the above script in the background sudo python /opt/retropie/configs/all/simkeypress.py & emulationstation --no-splash #auto

Hi all, So just to clarify you are saying its possible to: Disable the overscan via raspi-config to get rid of the black border Enable the overscan_scale=1 in config.txt I did these steps but ES still had its own ideas. Could I use the manual settings in config.txt for the left, right, up, down etc values to re-centre it. I also noticed that with overscan disabled my MAME games get cut off at the top a bit as well. Is there a preferred option I should be setting the display settings to in the rasp-config. I have a 55"4k Display. Thanks, Dwarfboysim

@gengar103 said in Pi 3 - no HDMI display: What can be done to get this LCD panel, which worked fine under 3.8.1, to work under 4.3? Try editing /boot/config.txt and add this hdmi_force_hotplug=1

I have found out why my SD-card is full. The /var/log folder is taking 21.7 GB of my SD-card...

@larry-bell Although this has nothing to do with RetroPie, the error comes from an older/outdated OpenSSL library on your system. When curl tries to download the file from raw.githubusercontent.com, it cannot understand the encryption protocol the site uses. TL;DR - update/upgrade your system. On a stock RetroPie image (which is based on Raspbian Jessie), kept up-to date, the command you're trying to run works without problems. The versions for cURL/OpenSSL are shown in the output of the curl -V command: pi@retropie:~ $ curl -V curl 7.38.0 (arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf) libcurl/7.38.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1t zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.29 libssh2/1.4.3 librtmp/2.3 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS IDN IPv6 Largefile GSS-API SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP

@mitu @chipsnblip Hahaha, wow. How embarrassing. Thanks, I will try this and report back.
