@wmarcio Yeah I am def going to look into that. I hadn't considered modding the consoles themselves.

The lack of a GPU card was my big concern about something like a PI or Laptop. I've read mixed results on those.

Otherwise I'm thinking maybe I should consider just building a small form factor PC with a video card. One thing I like about retropie is that it is always being actively worked on. I'll keep considering all options.

Want a good combination of convenience and price.

@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.

@heaven76 said in Very slow loading times on lr-flycast:

After that i tried using the quirks workaround as suggested by @mitu

What filesystem are you using on your SSD? ext4 or NTFS?
NTFS is no good.

@alebofsky said in How to save configuration for spinner for an individual game:

System is running Retropie Playbox on Raspberry Pi 4 (Cortex-A72)

We don't support 3rd party images - use the RetroPie image from retropie.org.uk/download and report back if you still have the issue when saving the remaps for the game.

Please add more details about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@hexxur i know there is away to get retroarch installed on it. and i know that it have a doom port built in.
how it works with WADS i dont know

The underlying Linux operating system that RetroPie runs on top of is intrinsically multiuser.
You only need a free TeleTYpe program (I recomment putty for Windows) to gain access from your laptop in the same way as WinSCP does to move files.

Username pi - Password raspberry
The pi user does NOT have administrator rights, but the 'run as super user' keyword "sudo" can be used in front of any commands that needs them (no admin password required).

Make the terminal window as big as you need and use the nano editor to change configurations.

bye.

Thanks for this @inolen!

This morning I tried:

-Sega Rally - Ran great
-Kiss Psycho Cirus - Ran around in the first room but seemed to be fine!
-Puzzle Bobble 4 - Playable but with a bit of slow down (it seems so simple too...)
-Super Runabout - Seemed to be full speed but with intermittent stutter.

@wholee I have this installed and I noticed it isn't 100% consistent if the machine will actually turn off. It will get to the final command and just sit there at the text screen. How long should it take to shut off?

@badfurday they are not Zipped.

Well I finally found another image viewer that lets me specify something to display on the second hdmi port: vlc!

But although it worked fine on FKMS, nothing showed up when I ran it with KMS... not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if that is expected.

@ashpoo

But don't you think (IMHO) that having the Pi stowed away and out of sight, there are other solutions available - focusing on substance and no need for style?

Sure, once the Pi is hidden inside the bartop, there is no more need for style. Actually, I liked the metal of the case, which kept the Pi pretty cool and therefore no need of extra ventilation.

I think I will go for the stock case instead, which will do the job as well.

Thank you!

@baconbandage Run the following command - with the gamepad plugged in - and post the output

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

Try testing the gamepad with the jstest utility. Exit EmulationStation and run

jstest /dev/input/js0

You should get a listing with the gamepad's input types (buttons/joysticks/etc.) and you can press the buttons/D-Pad/move joysticks to see if they are registering. You can exit the test by pressing Ctrl+C.

Its always the last thing. Must have had some kind of hardware issue. reflashing my ssd has solved any issues. no idea what the original cause was. Some random little glitch is my guess. I was trying to avoid reflashing because of how far along I was in config, but backed it up and restoring it now that the controllers are all working. Thanks for attempting to help me h2805270, i appreciate it.

@kounabi22
They did the correction in flycast and not lr-flycast for now. I don’t think you need to change your rom or states.

Look for updates

New edit:
Done, they fixed it in the last lr-flycast update in RetropPie ! Yeah!
