3DO

Hi ReadyPlayaWon

May i ask ... i did get my pi 4 and im enjoying it alot

i just tested the mad dog on 3do emulation and i was wondering , im using the dolphen bar/wii mote to use as a light gun ... i dont know how to reload ... any advice or tips?

Unfortunately no success, I had already disabled the hybrid filter, and lowering the resolution even to 720x480 had no positive effect.

Downloaded, installed and good to go! Thank you very much!

I couldn't get speaker-test to work, or aplay. alsamixer had volume.

I ended up just re-imaging the SD card with a fresh copy of RetroPie. This fixed my issue. All ROMs I've played have had appropriate audio.

I don't want to start over if I buy a raspberry Pi 4 as it took me a long time to put this image together.

this was an image downloaded from arcade punks

You lied. You refuse to start over fresh on a pi4 because you decided to stay ignorant on a DIY hobby. You ordered the old 3b+ because of this. /facepalm.
Arcade Punks have their own forum if you don't agree with the rules here.

I see no difference downloading an image with games included and ready to go.

Their configurations are altered which produces bugs unique to those images. One of the reasons we won't troubleshoot those.

My 3b+ arrived last night and yes, the SD card image works. So relieved! 😁

Oh...and when I said that it took me a long time to put together I wasn't lying. Just because I didn't download everything required separately doesn't mean it was easy.

My computer is roughly 15 years old and it took a long time to transfer over everything to the SD card when the download was done. Had to keep the computer on overnight to finish the transfer. Not to mention downloading a 64gb file took all day.

So that's why I didn't want to start over. If that's a form of ignorance then so be it.
I got an awesome image with over 22,000 games on it. It took a long time to get that done so it's natural I wanted to preserve it and not start over.

The new pie is running considerably faster and I am enjoying it thoroughly. Hell, I might do it the old-fashioned way and build something from scratch now that I have a faster board. I really didn't need a raspberry Pi 4 anyway because I wasn't using it to play harder games like Dreamcast, N64or PSP.

I have no regrets buying "old" hardware as you put it. I stand by my decision regardless of what anybody thinks. I also saved a lot of money going this route because all I ordered was the board and nothing else. I already have a power supply that works with it and a raspberry Pi 2 case that fits. If I bought the raspberry Pi 4, I would have spent double because I have to buy everything from scratch.

So what's that saying... Ignorance is bliss!!!
Yes sir it is. 👍

​Solved. Bad VGA cable.

Normally the Pi should switch to composite if the HDMI port is not connected, but you can force PAL by adding sdtv_mode=2 to the config.txt configuration file.
Assuming your composite cable is correct and you've switched the TV input to the RCA input, you should get an image.

There's little info here, but if the controller is not detected at all (even in EmulationStation), maybe there's something wrong with the controllers or the USB ports on the Pi. Do they get detected when plugged in a windows PC ?

@HPTF2020 - ISSUE RESOLVED - I had the games in the LR-FBA ROMS Folder which did not allow the dip switch setting menu to open when pressing F2 or TAB, however, when I moved the games to the Mame4All Rom Folder that functionality worked

@shavecat I have never tried those two games. But I noticed big performance boost after I overclocked my PI. I have GoldenEye installed, but never played jet. Maybe I will try it today and let you know.

Ok, I just downloaded the official release again. Works fine. I have no idea what was happening before. User error I guess but I know I tried downloading it multiple times.

@mitu ok but yes, i tried different roms and the bios is there and correct, validatd the hash. it is getting recognized by mGBA too. i thought maybe it's related so i answered in this thread. It really seems like a BIOS problem though because at first start there is no gba intro only after the restart and the following restarts the intro appears, really weird problem. Are there other known gba roms with skip-intro problems maybe so i could test those?

@pjwentink We don't support 3rd party images and links to ROM sites are not allowed by the forum rules You'll have to ask the image author for compatibility and please remove the link to the image.

For anyone else looking at using a Wii like this; I couldn't find any reliable sources for the internal dimensions so I measured and did a drawing myself. Hopefully this is helpful to someone...

@MJHScorpio87 Yes, there've been a few logo request, I plan to go through them all some time.

Yeah, I've tested on a vanilla installation. The audio just is the same all round. :(

@Jiryn said in Raspberry Pi 4 (and minor 3) Questions:

Thank you, I was originally going off this page https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/MAME when it said 2003 was the best, most reliable for Pi 3. While the rest were experimental, or didn't have the best compatibility.

@MortenHB the 3B model supports only 2.4Ghz Wifi networks, make sure you don't share a 5Ghz SSID on the router. Also, if the Wifi networks aren't separated/isolated through a firewall. Your problem seems purely related to the routersettings/restrictions.
