@petrockblog Thank you very much !!!!

From measuring the USB power drain from the power supply (inline USB measuring) the ControlBlock2 is pulling 5.06V and 0.421A when the yellow warning is in the upper right corner. I didn't measure the 5V output from the Pi or ControlBlock itself as I don't have my multimeter here.

@Allanbuzzy AFAIK You'll need something like FileZilla to FTP to your Pi unless you want to do it all in the command line.

@jotinkarter I did! I got a rock candy wireless 2.4 Mhz controller and it works like a charm

10th time thru doing installs and fun to see the different results ,depends on what order you do stuff. thanks for the advice.

A PC with a Core i CPU (and a Nvidia videocard) should be the best solution. The most arm boards are to slow for GameCube emulation.

@mfreshwater the sd card is 64GB and I installed retropie from the official website and extracted the files and reformatted the SD card.

@edmaul69 I changed the file permissions and it still didnt work. I read somewhere that the configs folder @ /RetroPie/configs/n64 is just a shortcut to /opt/RetroPie/configs/n64 so I changed that one too but no luck. The system changes it back to what it decides is best and none of my changes stick

@BuZz said in RetroArch (Pi) Save Slot Issue (always #0):

@zoop see my post above. You can't update automatically to include that fix currently. You need to wait until I update retroarch, eg for v1.4.2 - the module doesn't build the bleeding edge code anymore. I got fed up fixing things over and over again.

Yeah, sounds like a reasonable approach. Thanks for the update. I will eagerly anticipate 1.4.2 :)

I see, well thank you for your time.

@Charononus Glad I could help.

@megafacehead Sound like an undersized card to me. Have you check what Linux reports as free space on the disk ? Log in via SSH or just drop to a command line by pressing F4 on the ES screen and run df -h to see how much space is available on the card.

@BuZz thank you ;)

@Capt_MorganCreek Hey!
Thank you very much for the file and the Help!
I had to change a little bit in the Script and use now uinput from uinput.
I ran into Problems with Dependencies... basically I haven't read thoroughly enough...
Everything else in the Script is the same.
Software works and the Buttons also... but! I have to make a new Plan on the Hardware itself.
It turned out that the Way I wantet to build the entire Thing does not work. It just does not fit...
Will have to see when I will have enough Time again to make a new Plan...

Big Thanks for the Help!

@jeremyxgaming Clean install of what version? Mine stopped working in lr-MAME2003 recently and Im trying to figure out why. I did a clean 4.3 install and its still not working :(

@BuZz Thanks for the tip. I'll post this over there to see if anything positive can come of it. At least replacing a single-board computer is MUCH cheaper than a PC.

I found that thread before.. Nothing in it seemed to help so far. I've tried to change the controller configuration as mentioned and that didn't help. I supposed I could try to remove and re-install lr-pcsx-rearmed next.

EDIT: I tried re-installing lr-pcsx-rearmed - didn't help.

@BuZz Yep, things are working properly now. If I see any future problems I'll open a new thread. Thanks!

Think I've solved it

@Septcanmat glad you got it sorted. there are two versions of Raspbian, one with the desktop environment, the other without(Raspbian lite) obviously the RetroPie sd image is built on Raspbian lite.

Wiki can be edited by anyone so feel free to make a note of it
