Oh ok, thanks @mitu

And in the meantime I've tried just about every possible setting in lr-yabasanshiro and Nights is still choppy. It's not far from being playable, but it's not playable currently (much like Panzer Dragoon Saga).

@huhogany Hi. where do i even find that line /opt/retropie....etc, etc? I am so lost and confused. Do I look for it on pc or use the pi4 gui screen? i have no idea where to find this. Is it a command line?

UPDATE: I got it to work. What I did...

Updated post fixes in vman 512 image... reboot
options
system tools
audio settings
set audio output to headphones

@mitu
I haven’t been able to find it online, all I have is the user manual that came with it (though I’ll have to find it again)

@mitu got it, thank you! thumbsup

Starting the service as early as the 'local-fs' target doesn't always work, if the framebuffer is not initialized, then you can't display anything. For the Pi4, the display is re-initialized when the KMS/DRM framebuffer emulation is loaded, so any images shown before that will simply be erased.

You can try using the modifying the existing asplashscreen service (defined in /etc/systemd/system/asplashscreen.service) and see if changing the dependencies will make it start earlier, but the result might not be what you want.

@Botspot said in What APT packages are installed when I run the installer?:

Is there a centralized place I can look to get this installed package list?

No, there isn't a central list of packages. As I said in the Github issue you opened, each package that is part of RetroPie has it's own list of dependencies, which is automatically installed when that particular package is installed. The dependencies are declared in the module's depends function. Since the user can install or remove any package, the list of dependencies can change.

A base installation will install the 'core' and 'main' packages, you can see here, you could get the list of dependencies for the packages in those 2 sections and consider them a minimum list of dependencies. Some of them might already be installed on the system, so when removing RetroPie you might take that into account.

EDIT: the initial dependencies for the RetroPie-Setup script to work are listed in the Manual installation page.

@MRKane You may be surprised. Some PSP games run great at twice the resolution, effectively making them look better than they did on original hardware. Besides you gotta love the jagginess ^^

@Marco-G gpu_mem=320 is pretty much essential if you want to play high bitrate 4k hevc. You don't need as much if you don't play this kind of media.
About hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1, what it does is to not switch (the TV) to the Raspberry Pi/Retropie source when it is started or rebooted. It has no effect in anything else.

@dgar The link I posted for verbose log has instructions on how to enable it.

@doughughes If you can find and use "Full non-merged" romsets, then each zip file will contain all of the necessary parts and you won't have to locate a parent version of anything. Plus, it will allow you to delete all the variations of games you don't need, like other regions that aren't your preferred lanuguage. Makes life easier if you aren't overly concerned about disk space.

Yep, same error. If I'm understanding that thread correctly, the only way around it is to have an older version of MAME? Which you cannot obtain unless you had a backup of it?

on a hint of another user on the forum i did a test a few weeks ago of

Thanks for the info and cmds! I'll start doing some tests after I get my retropie image backed up.

@Crush said in What tests to use to make sure an overclock is sustainable?:

@TheBattleMaster I justed added the SEGA Naomi system to my retropie and figured you'd like to know that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 runs perfectly smooth on that.

Neat! Time to check some on some setup tutorials for Naomi system :D

@mitu Thank you so much! Indeed, it was precisely in the full path to the CDROM folder.

As a result, the command looks like this:

[autoexec] MOUNT c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc-games c: cd Rayman MOUNT d /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc-games/Rayman/cdrom -t cdrom RAYMAN.EXE EXIT

@mitu Yes, that solved everything. Thank you kindly for your time and help. I appreciate it a lot.

@BuZz thank you.

BuZz can you also take a look at the "general" thread of Amiberry?
I'm finding that games runs a little faster then normal, I made a video about that. If you want I can make more of them. Thanks.

@MeltedPineapple is the sound not working in EmulationStation only or the games also are without sound ?

@melbmatt50 i did - both links are instructions for “headless” (no screen) set ups. you just need to plug your sd card into the pc you used to the write the image and create files in the /boot/ partition.
