@mitu no problems. Might try it through dosbox. At least I have great giana sisters to keep playing :)

@DeFarro said in lr-yabause stopped working after system update: here is my error Yeah, as i said, the "drive is empty" message meant it was unable to read your dump for some reason :). It might be worth mentioning, i backported dump format support from kronos to yabause last year, which means it supports chd, cue/bin in a zip, and cue with multiple bins

@mitu said in Ras Pi 1 >4 SD card issues (roms not visible or loading): https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/ Thanks!

@VictimRLSH I figured there wasn’t much of a gain between the two. I only went with the 8g since I was jumping from a raspberry pi 3b and figured I may as well spend a little extra and have more ram. I plan to use a few different cards to experiment a bit. This wasn’t meant to replace my custom Ryzen desktop build, this is more for fun. Already setup a desktop environment last night. I’m interested in overclocking this to see how it handles different applications. I already know the overclock will definitely help in emulating Dreamcast and 64.

@Unknown you've been told to stop bumping posts before. please take a day to absorb that message.

@mitu said in RetroPie 4.6 on Pie 4: Using 8bitDo Bluetooth controllers all game hang.: It's a known issue with certain 8bitdo controllers when configured in XInput mode - RetroArch takes a long time to start. Try configuring the controller(s) to start in 'Switch' mode instead of PC/Xinput mode. You are right on. I tried one of the controllers in Switch mode, and the other in Android mode and it works very well. Thanks. I looked around and couldn't find the error.

@mitu I've enabled both the options u showed in your post. It successfully. I was quite baffled because I saw the the Dt overlay option twice in the end of my boot config. Thank you for your help

@tyon2006 said in Using HD LCD with Retropie and RPi4: Makes sense. Any thoughts on retroarch/emulation station supporting these super high resolutions? If you add a custom hdmi_mode and it's recognized by the Pi4, it should be used automatically. On the Pi3, I couldnt even get it to boot up all the way That's normal, since the Pi3 didn't support these large resolutions.

@VictimRLSH Thanks. Then at least it matches my experiences.

@Riverstorm No, just select HDMI and that's all. If you have any issues, post in the stickied topic.

@OldSchool Did you research if this is actually necessary? I used my 250 GB Samsung EVO 840 connected with an SATA-to-USB adapter to one of the USB2 ports of my Pi 3B (without +) for over two years without any problems, and now its connected to my new Pi 4B Rev 1.2 via USB3 for a month, again without any issues. What problems exactly do you expect and where did you learn about them? edit: I should mention that I also had/have a PacDrive LED controller for my 18 illuminated buttons and a wireless Mayflash Wii-U Pro gamepad adapter connected to the USB ports of both of my Pis, all of them without external power. The only somewhat funny "issue" I noticed is that the buttons flicker ever so slightly when the ssd is being accessed. 😊

That's very unfortunate. 😔 I was hoping myself to get rid of my hardware HDMI splitter now that the Pi 4 has two outputs.

Thank you very much, I will check it and confirm. Sad, that they change the system so significantly :/

Thanks, Isn't it strange that with no SD card inserted it comes right up on the TV? Thats what has me so confused and it used to work fine on my RCA TV. I never have been able to get it working on the Bravia or Samsung. I had done that before, but I used Escher. MAybe that's the issue. I'll flash with the official one. Appreciate the help.

@quicksilver Sorted, thanks a lot.

@joyrider3774 There is a lot of factors but all we can do is mainly assume the main reasons why.

This thread from 2018 discussed a couple of options to stream your Pi's picture to another system, but I don't know how much of it is still viable. As you can see there, I tried to do it myself, but I eventually gave up, because it was either not working or too slow on my Pi 3B. Maybe the latter will be better on a Pi 4. I also tried a external capture card for around 80€, but although it worked, it added somewhat of half a second of delay, which made most games not pleasant to play. The reason I wanted to stream the picture rather than just use an hdmi splitter was that my 16:9 / 720p video projector doesn't like the native solution of the 4:3 / 1600x1200 monitor in my arcade cabinet. So I had to convert it somehow, and streaming was one possible way to do that. Finally, I found a working solution in an external hdmi-to-vga converter, since my projector only has the aforementioned problems only with digital video signals. Luckily, there's no discernable difference in the quality of the analog vga picture, maybe because I spanned the hdmi cable most of the way and plugged the vga converter directly into the projector (it's only the size of a cable's connector without the cable). Just some experiences that may show you a viable way for your setup.

Sure thing. Glad it worked
