sorry I'm late with this. Could this bluetooth connection problem be connected to the recent hack?

I am going to answer this one myself in case anyone else needs this info in the future. After looking through the run_mess.sh script itself, I was able to see that the message "hn613128pc64.bin NOT FOUND (tried in pv2000)" was trying to tell me that lr-mess was looking for the BIOS file in a pv2000 subdirectory of the main BIOS directory. Once it was placed there the logic to skip the software list/hash started working properly and I was able to launch roms that did not match the official hashes.

@ExarKunIv Crikey, just read through that post. It's quite technical but it looks like I may be able to run Doom 3 and a mod after all! Thank you!

Okay so I figured out what was going on. I had two micro-usb cords, one was connected to my RaspberryPi and one to my laptop. The issue was with my micro-usb to the RaspberryPi, it was powering the Teensy LC but not reading it.

I switched the cords and it started working on the RaspberryPi.

You can imagine how frustrated I was, given I am new to all this.

Thanks for your help Mitu!

@newmanph said in When launching a game, emulationstation switches to desktop, then back to the menu:

Is there any way to make emulationstation work within the desktop? I know it's recommended to just use the raspberry pi to launch emulationstation, but if it's possible I'd like to use the pi for other things as well.

You can still use the desktop, start if from EmulationStation - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go - and not the other way around.

Can you post the info requested here? It will help to troubleshoot your issue. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Also may want to take a look at this post. Specifically the pi 4 section.

Thanks for the responses to my question!!

I've already tried to downclock the device, that didn't help a lot though, yes I have overvoltage set to 6, however I tried to disable it for testing purposes, sadly it didn't help.
I actually only used gles2rice since my games then run at 1080p, all of the other options run at a realy low res, and when I look into the menu where you can change the video output, it's set to 1080p.

So I think my new question would be then how to set the "real" resolution for one of the better emulators to 1080p.

@BeanFT And... Drastic has an interface that is lagging one frame, which means that the “real” selected menu item isn’t what is shown on the screen. It’s the previous item that is shown. You’ll figure it out when you’re there.

@mitu perfect thank you

I formatted using the USB formatting guide here:

Using FAT32 Format

Plugged the stick in, clicked format and waited haha.

yes sorry meant "pi" . It was the password that had been changed but not sure when. Was able to change back through sudo raspi-config. Thanks for you help

@hawkes_84 said in High res dilemma:

Any other way to change emulators?

Ask the image authors for that - we can't guess what modification they've performed to the image they distribute.

Ok, half a day later, I realize one (perhaps small) problem concerning the Pi4 project. As I am going to build two Arcade Machines together with a friend of mine, I had to setup RetroPie twice. One on a Pi3b+ and one on my Pi4. Testing with the old "Hyper Sports" on mame2003, I realize a perfect behavior on the 3b+ but a small delay on the Pi4. So pushing the button and taking effect differences a little bit (made me miss the skeets on skeet-shooting ;-) ). Do you have any idea why this is and - much more important for me - how to solve this problem?

Best regards,

Rufus

If you want to set up a new model, simply clone your /home/pi/RetroPie folder to your PC, install RetroPie on the new SD card, delete the new /home/pi/RetroPie folder, replacing it with the existing one.
