Use raspi-config and configure the system to auto-login to the console. If EmulationStation doesn't start automatically after a reboot, then use the setup script to enable the autostart of EmulationStation - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi.

Is there any reason you're not using the RetroPie image directly ?

@dankcushions said in Best way to set up multitap?:

@lesk no, each system page in the wiki will have specific instructions to set up multitaps for a given system. eg https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1#multitap-3-5-players

Sorry for late reply, but thanks! As I understand it, for the playstation you have to do some manual changes for each games that dosen't support analog etc.
But for Snes, Nes, Sega and Arcade I can just go in via the retroarch menu while playing a game and add multitap support and core save.

@F4CEpa1m your retropie is out of date. Did you update? You probably need to start from a 4.5.x image.

Hard to advise without details of your setup.

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@Razak I was just about to suggest you do that it happened to me but on my other topics of homemade ones I didn’t do. But it happened to me on my joystick

@merkury187 said in video snaps and core help:

How do you enable Use Local Art? I have my videos named "romname.mp4" so I will rename them to "romname-video.mp4"

Open the Emulationstation menu with Start and try looking through the available options - I think it's in the UI sub-menu (?).

Also, so that is what that little pop up box is for, not sure how I missed that in the Docs. What does this part mean: "(the bottom face button is recommended as to not accidentally change anything) " ?

Use the A or B buttons.

@mitu said in Custom safe shutdown text / screen:

@lesk No, you'll need to edit the /etc/rc.local file and replace the 1st line (which should have been added by the RetroFlag script) with the 2nd one. Use sudo nano /etc/rc.local to edit the file.

Okay thanks! I will give this a shot ^^

Okay,

I think I found the solution. There were a couple of roms without "[!]" in the name. Because I was trying anything I could think of, I deleted those files and now everything is fine. Emulation shows every N64 rom now.
Sorry for asking your help. Thank you for thinking with me for finding a solution.

Best regard to all of you!

@lesk Deopending on the emulator and version I think, as it is a relative recent feature. You may need to update RetroPie. There are entries in the emulator menu for this feature: SETTINGS > LATENCY. I looked up in Snes9x 1.56.2, Nestopia 1.50-WIP and MAME 2003 (0.78).
The Raspberry Pi 3 is too weak and it would be extremly slow and painful (as far as I know). Which emulator and version do you want use this for? Try the "lr-" versions.

@Bendix94 Check out this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18985/diablo-ii-and-other-games-on-retropie. There is 2 videos, one of them is still working. It's not Crash's video though (I think), I believe it is from Salvador Liébana.

Love Emulator? :O
Never heard about this one.
What is that? Some kind of japanese "i get no wife, so i try some tech" - toy? :/

I followed this post on how to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch without doing a fresh install and it worked for me. But it's officially recommended to do a clean install.

@dreaded_walrus Please use a meaningful title when opening a topic.

Thre is not root password in the RetroPie image for the PI. The pi user has sudo privileges, so no password is needed if you prefix your commands with sudo.
What is the command/action you're trying to acomplish ? Move a file, edit a file, run a comand, etc. ?

Ok, it looks like everything is working normally now that I put a Ethternet cable in the machine, and it was able to install everything. Looks like I need the Ethernet cable to do stuff.

@quicksilver tilt finded on abandoware.c

@RyanT Please give more details about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. What game/system are you trying to scrape and it's not working ? Give me a concrete example.

@romanCitizen that's way out of date. Use the current docs.

@Kopfsturm Dude, this thing is awesome! What a beast!

@BuZz thanks man!
