You can also use an USB sound card, there's no need for a HAT/GPIO solution. Any card that advertises Linux support should work.
For a HAT solution, I think any of the DACs sold by the RPI folks directly might fit the bill - see https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/.

@Renetrox wow !!!!!

@cloc140 said in Enabling wifi in Retropie at installation on Picade Pi 4b:

it’s written on screen to press button A but I tried to press all buttons without sucess.

I assume you're taking about the controller configuration screen ? AFAIK the Picade needs a driver to be installed in order configure the input.

If you're trying to enable WiFi so that you can download and install the driver, then the easiest way would be to create a wpa_supplicant.conf configuration file on the sdcard - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wifi/#connecting-to-wifi-without-a-keyboard. You can similarly enable SSH to be able to connect to the Pi and run commands - see the getting started documentation from the previous link I posted.

Wow! Now it's working great! Thanks.

I had tried all other options except

hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0

@mitu

To circumvent the problem, I've just installed RetroPie via RPI's imager for now, as that will have to do.

Thank you for taking the time to look into the issue. :)

PS. Mega Man rules.

The functionality provided by the fbtft module has moved to an overlay in 5.10, you can try to use the overlay to configure your display.
The 4.7.1 is using the 5.4.72 Linux kernel version, if you need an earlier version you may try the 4.6 version, though I'm not sure which Linux kernel version is used in 4.6. Older versions are unsupported, but from 4.6/4.7 you can upgrade to the current RetroPie version and skip any Linux kernel updates.

My advice would be to try and use the overlay method to configure your screen. RetroPie uses a RaspiOS Lite (buster) as a base, so any instructions that apply to RaspiOS (Raspbian) Lite should work on RetroPie also.

@reaktor24 said in PSX Games not working on RetroPie:

Thanks for the tips. I updated RetroPie but wasn't able to update RetroArch through EmulationStation. Looks like this isn't an option.

You need to start the RetroPie-Setup script from the RetroPie menu and update it, then update retroarch like you did before.

Anyway I managed to get it working. I had renamed one of my games (Castlevania) to remove the [PSX] from the start of the file name and this seemingly broke all the games. Once I renamed it back again they all started working. Very strange. Anyway thanks for your help.

It's not strange, the .cue files contain the filename of the .bin cd image, if you renamed the .bin file(s) without updating the contents of the .cue file, then the emulator will not be able to find the correct cd image file(s).

Can you please add the full details about your setup asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

Try running EmulationStation manually from the command line (after it crashes) with

emulationstation --debug

and post the last error shown on the screen when it crashes ? I still suspect there's a connection issue with the controller, the crash is usually indicating a bad connection (controller disconnects immediately after being detected).

@jamrom2 True. Maybe he was thinking exclusively of Pi4/Pi5 spec devices. The Zero generally lags behind by a generation or so, currently being similar in spec to the Pi3. I've never really seen the point of the 'A' boards especially when the compute boards exist.

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

Post your /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt.

Press again Ctrl + C ?

@mitu Ah thanks for the advice. Turns out I only have the Pi3 so even if I could somehow set up the thing to recognise I had a Saturn emulator on it, it's like you said it more than likely wouldn't run very well or even at all. And to think I spent all afternoon browsing the thing's files to try and find a backdoor. Oh well. Sticking to pre 1995 consoles for now it seems.
