I am updating the topic to share that I actually was able to update the core Buster image to the latest kernel and both of these settings are in place. For any users that want to try NVME boot over PCI-e, I cloned the boot and root folders over to my NVME drive after doing a full update on eMMC (SD works just as well).

For anyone reading with the same problem, the monitor works now with the new active adapter that comes with its own power supply

Get a powered USB hub and use it to connect the USB encoders to the Pi. The Pi may not be able to provide enough power for the encoders.

@ExarKunIv @SuperFromND
It's about $200 for the 8GB model with 512GB Memory.

What impressed me was they were playing Dreamcast and Gamecube games pretty damn well on it in the stream previews -

So much so, they ever advertise it as a feature. - https://picopc.net/pages/pantera-pico-pc-specs

Which makes me wonder about games like Carnevil and other arcade titles.

It is nice that the pi 5 is out of the “rumor” stage and now is officially known to be in development. I wonder if they will pull the 64bit is out of beta when it is released.

@iandaemon @mitu
Booting into terminal fixed the problem and the games worked.
Thank you for the help 🙏

@ryan said in Hello New here please help:

I am making an arcade with a IPAC2. How can I set up a two-player system once I'm on retropie? Thanks.

Just updated a bug in the RetroPie installation script, which did not take into account the move to the new carbon-2021 theme from RetroPie v.4.7.19 and onwards.

Should work now for both newer and older RetroPie versions. Sorry for any inconvenience.

@CodeKing Try installing the desktop first - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go - and then selecting the boot to desktop - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi.

Make sure you're package list fully updated first - run sudo apt update from a terminal or use the RetroPie-Setup update function to update the OS/packages.

@Noe5 Please add more information about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Also i have found out i needed to update all emulators from within Retropie-setup. i seems the achievements normally only work with the latest versions of the emulators.

@mitu mb xD Thanks anyway

Still though, would have been nice for Citra to benefit from USB ROM transfer and stuff.

@mitu Thanks for the answer, I understood everything, I will think.

@mesprit It's just the way to make things easier. On barely every mashine BASIC will show Hello World with

10 print "Hello World"

The CPU instructions for doing this are different so you might need a different BASIC interpreter for every "system".

But this is also very abstractive - but hope you get it.
Imho you can use a Pi0/1 image on a Pi2/3 revision but you will loose benefits for some optimized emulators. That's what @mitu said in his previous posting.

It depends on how is it connected to the Pi - if it's HDMI, you can get an HDMI splitter and connect both your TV and the screen at once.
