@mitu and to any future readers - I fixed it!

After much searching, I found this link https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show/issues/278 for an issue with an LCD display I tried to use years ago. Apparently, it updated my /boot/cmdline.txt file to put ttyAMA0 in my console, instead of the default serial0. Swapping it back to console=serial0,115200 and rebooting, and now bluetooth works again!

pesa1234 created this issue in goodtft/LCD-show open Raspberrypi - Bluetooth stop working after latest Buster update #278

Thanks. I changed the power to a new official one and this has solved the lightening bolt issue. However the controller cutting out remains.

No matter what I do, as soon as I connect a second controller the light goes out on the first one and controller one cuts out. Its driving me nuts. Can anyone help please.

CRTPi-RGBv30

sorry, but we do not support third party images.

@dbrown1986 said in Should I buy a Pi 4 or better 3 for RetroPie?:

but if your heart is set on N64, PS2, PSP or Nintendo DS/3DS titles; the ODroid can handle that much better; while still running RetroPie through Ubuntu or via The Retro Arena distros.

Which Odroid model do you refer to here? (or maybe a better question: which odroid model handels these kind of games best?)

Afaik there isn't gles support. If GL is slower it will be because it's using non accelerated rendering. Which is likely the case. It shouldn't be enabled by default on the RPI also.

Very interesting, then I should definitely give it another chance on an older Pi 3 setup!

@Evert said in FB Alpha 0.2.97.43 Pre-Compiled Version:

I understand that you can just opt to not update your system, but what if you are building a new system?

back up your lr-fbalpha.so binary i guess.

@mitu true. I'll adjust the flags when I next work on retropie.

@quicksilver Thank you very much, after removing the # in the config, it boots perfectly now.

@mitu thanks, yes we've downloaded the newest image and she did order a 3B+.

@IanDaemon I think this isn't the answer here. Easier means for the right purpose. So to let a LED blink the approach is much easier to achive with bash or python. For a learning experiment C is also a good choice. But the whole scenario... A Raspberry Pie to let a LED blink is wrong. A microcontroller (of any kind) would be the correct way ... maybe in a C-style language, maybe by direct adressing. But this is only my opinion.

@randallwoodworks On the right you have the SNES (virtual) controller buttons, on the left you have the Gamepad/Keyboard inputs. Your screenshot shows the SNES core mapping, so it might be different for arcade games, because each cabinet might have a different set of buttons.

@Solid-One So it has to be changed to specific use that commit when trying to compile Zandronum and the solution to the Raspbian Stretch might just work. Let me give it a try and see what i can come up with.

@t_mitch
That is unfortunate, maybe there is something on warranty, I think the Pi's have been successful they may be agreeable if you tell them. 5V 2A isn't far out of the level guidelines if this is what caused it, while it says nowhere to use a phonecharger, there are HP chargers and others replacements that are often used.

@mitu Thank you so much. This solved my problem. I never knew there was such trouble just copying files. And thanks again for the advice, copying over wifi and ssh 10.000 small files is really a bad idea.
:)

@mitu Thanks for your reply. I finally figured it out the problem was PEBKAC!!! I had the joystick plugged into the wrong 5 pin port. I thought there was only the one and I was wrong. Totally my bad but thanks for the help. I'm going to leave this up since I could not find any solutions to this problem anywhere and it might help someone.

@mitu my verison i had was like 4.1 or 4.2 cant really remember but i updated from source

@clyde okay right but a full grown standalone USB2 transfers up to 40 MB/s that is 4 times faster as your LAN.

How fast is a Raspberry with his shared USB Controller? 10MB/s? 15? Didn't test but a NAS is dedicated for file moving and if the Pie 4 got some interface upgrades it is maybe as fast as your 2011 Synology (cool device BTW with the best UI I have ever seen)

@lostless Right!
The chance of a broken .state## file is high if the emulator gots some bug fixes. It's even nearly impossible to port savestates from RPi0/1 versions to RPi2/3/3+

A savestate feature you can always rely is the SRM state. As it's just a part of the ROM itself and is treated as memory dump. But not every game provides this and afaik only home consoles.

@sanbadgerdude Take a look at https://github.com/anqixu/sixad_rumble or http://wiki.ros.org/ps3joy. Your topic has nothing to do with RetroPie, maybe it's better to start with the links above and see if it helps you.
